Ella's POV

"Wow" I whispered as we walked in. The hall had chairs around the sides and tables of food as well. Streamers and balloons were tapped all over the place and kids were already dancing.

"Ella over here" Tess called and we grabbed a table with them. 'My beautiful crazy life' by Kesha came on and J.J and Tess grabbed my hand and dragged me onto the dance floor. We were dancing with a heap of others but we didn't care.

Tess grabbed my hand and twirled me around and I noticed Iggy sitting there looking uncomfortable and I remembered how all the noise was probably confusing him. I ran over and grabbed his hands.

"Come dance" I said pulling him up and he rolled his eyes but followed me. Just like in the kitchen we danced, acting silly and laughing. I

eventually had to stop and sit down while Iggy insisted on getting me a drink.

"Oh my god your date is so cute" J.J said sitting next to me. "I had to beg Dylan for just one dance and Iggy has been dancing with you all night. Not to mention he shapes up pretty nice" she winked at me and I laughed.

"Oh my god they're playing our song" she giggled as 'One girl revolution' by Saving Jane came on.

She grabbed mine and Tess's hands and we ran onto the dance floor. I felt kind of bad for ditching Iggy, but this was our song.

We laughed and panted as we made our way over to the table as the song finished. I looked around but couldn't see Iggy anywhere; he should have been back by now.

"Iggy!" I called walking around, looking for him. "Iggy!" I called, running now for he defiantly wasn't here.

I ran out of the hall and that's when I heard it.

"You think you can just strut in here and take her from me you blind freak?" Sam yelled.

I turned the corner to see Sam push Iggy to the ground while three of Sam's mates stood behind him for backup.

Why wasn't Iggy fighting back? He was one of the best fighters I knew. Then it hit me. I could still hear all the noise from inside so Iggy could defiantly hear it and he was probably confused and didn't know who was who or where he was.

Iggy got to his feet but Sam pushed him into the wall and he slid back down it. "Go back to where you came from and hand Ella to me, and I'll let you go" Sam spat.

"Ella isn't a toy. She is a person. A beautiful person that deserves so much more then you" Iggy growled and Sam kicked him in the gut.

I took my shoes off and ran at Sam. I jumped on his back and wrapped my arms around his neck and started choking him.

He tried to shake me off but I held on tight and eventually he went bright red and fell to his knees and I let go.

"Now you listen to me you scum" I started and Sam's friends started making their way over to me and I shot them a death glare that Max would be proud of and they backed off before leaving.

"You leave me and Iggy alone" I warned Sam, helping Iggy to his feet. "I will never come back to you. You don't deserve me, you don't deserve anyone. You are lower then dirt. Don't ever come near us again" I threatened then stormed off with Iggy as Sam was still trying to catch his breath.

I pulled Iggy into the bathroom with me and wet some paper. Amazingly his tux was fine.

"Oh dear" I sighed wiping blood and dirt off Iggy's face. "Are you ok?" I asked him.

"I'm fine" he said hostilely. "Iggy?" I asked shocked.

"He's right. Look at me. I'm a blind mutant freak. I don't know what I was thinking, getting close to you. All the danger out there. I can never give you everything you need, a normal life. Maybe I should just go my separate way" he whispered.

A tear ran down my face. "You are everything I want Iggy. I don't care that you're blind or half bird. That just makes you so much better. Don't talk like this" I whispered.

"I'm just being realistic" he said taking the paper from me and turning away.

"No. You're just taking the easy way out" I said as another tear fell and I ran out.

I ran to the table where the others were. "Ella what's wrong?" Dylan asked and I just shook my head that I didn't want to talk about it and they dropped it.

Five minutes went by and I had finished my 8th cup of Pepsi while I sat alone while the others were up dancing. The fast paced music finished and 'Innocent' by Avril Lavigne came on.

"May I have this dance?" A familiar voice came from behind me. I looked up into Iggy's deep blue eyes. I sniffed and took his hand and we walked onto the dance floor. I put my arms around his neck and he put his around my waist as we rocked back and fourth.

"I was wrong. You are amazing and a beautiful person and I don't need anything else. I've never said it before but I've always felt this way since I meet you. Ella. I love you" he whispered in my ear. Slowly he ran his hand through my hair and leant down and kissed me.
