Sav was grounded for three months. He couldn't go out at night or on weekends, and Alli had to hang out with Clare at her house. Sav only saw his friends when they came over for band practice, so basically Fridays before it was time to party. Sav still hugged Clare at school and made her cds. They would steal brief kisses at student council whenever they could. Clare would write him trashy vampire smut. They would also secretly talk on Alli's phone. Helen was too heartbroken to ground Clare, and Clare didn't really have any where to go if Alli went out with Drew. Sav's freedom came just in time for senior week and prom. Sav split the cost for a hotel suite with some friends. The main room would be for drinking, but Sav got a room for him and Clare. He wanted her all night.

Alli helped Clare get a dress. It was strapless, black and white. She wanted to impress Sav, since he had been deprived of her for three months. She just wanted to kiss him, forever. Helen smiled when she saw Clare in her dress. She was beautiful. Helen started seeing a man from church. It wasn't physical yet, but Helen was laughing for the first time in months. Clare was excited for her. A limo appeared. Peter, Drew, Sav and Mia were already in it. They took pictures together and then they all left.

Owen was with Anya. Jenna was very pregnant. K.C. looked a bit gloomy. Sav didn't want to let Clare go. "I love you."

"Say it again."

"I love you Clare Edwards."

"One more time?"

"I love you, Clare Diana Edwards."

"And I love you, Savtaj Bhandari, now and forever. We were meant to be together."

Now, it was time to announce the winner for king and queen.

Holly J was on the stage. "This year's prom king and queen are Sav Bhandari and Clare Edwards." The whole school heard about Sav getting grounded for three months, and they could guess why. They found it touching that at the end of it, they were still together. They had something worth fighting for.

They took the stage, arm in arm as they were crowned. Sav paused for the picture and then he kissed her, crashing her into him aggressively.

"YUCK!" Alli complained. Drew laughed at her. "Shut it!"

They took the dance floor, making their way around in their crowns. "You were always a queen to me."

"And you're my king." They kissed, tenderly as L.A. Woman played.

"Did you?"

"No." It was Holly J. She knew it was their song.

After the prom, everyone went to the after-parties. Sav, Peter, and Clare did some rum shots. Peter got the same brand as the last time. Peter went to find Jane, who was his date, and Clare and Sav went back to the bedroom It had been a long time for them. They kissed, softly roaming their hands over the other The clothes came off. Clare had never looked so beautiful. Sav brought a boombox. He started to pay a mix of Queen, Vevet Underground and the Doors as they made love. He was on top, slowly thrusting into her as she bit his neck. Eventually, he pulled her on top and she rode him, gripping onto his shoulders as she ground her hips against his. They built up gradually, love making turned to fucking, which turned to rough sex, hair pulling, biting, scratching, talking dirty, spanking, they went at it. He needed her to feel how much he loved her, and how much he needed her. Clare needed to get out three months of frustration. They went at it for hours, outlasting many of their counterparts which either passed out drunk or just retired

Eventually, Clare and Sav stopped. His heart was racing, and his dick was tired.

"I'm starving," she said.

They ordered rooms service, getting an early breakfast. It was too early for mimosas, so Sav raided the minibar. They ate and had a shot before going to bed.

They woke up, naked in each other's arms. Sav always wanted to wake up with her, just like this.

They spent the summer making music together and fucking like crazy. Helen was off with her new boyfriend and Alli had science camp, but now, he was going to college. Hours away. They would be split up yet again, but he was sure they'd make it through. He kissed her goodbye and his parents came to get his stuff. Clare got a calendar, marking the days until she could see him next.
