Chapter 21 (Madison)

Well thanks Rea! I thought. As soon as we got here she left, now it's just me and Ned. This is not a good thing. "So, um, would you like to dance?" Ned asked.

"Sure," I said then regretted it. Not only can I not dance, but a slow song just started.

He led me out on the floor just as I recognized the song, Defying Gravity from Wicked. Well, not that slow of song. We didn't dance so much as just sway to the music, unless that is dancing. I have no idea. Whatever. It was a really sweet moment. If I had been watching instead of experiencing it, I would have thrown up.

"Madison, there's something I've been meaning to tell you," Ned whispered.

Oh great! This is it! He's going to break up with me now! That stupid plan didn't work because he doesn't like me! I felt tears come to my eyes. No! Don't cry before he even says it! You are stronger then that! You are not going to let him see you cry!

"Madison, what's wrong?" he asked, obviously seeing the tears in my eyes.

"Nothing, I just, just got something in my eye," I lied quickly.

We again just swayed to the music before I remembered, but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to break up yet. What's wrong with that? Nothing, I just wanted one more minute before my heart was ripped out. Hmmm...maybe after this I could beat him up and not tell him why...

Oh please, you can't beat him up, you care too much.

Shut up, I don't need you telling me how much I like him now!

"Madison?" he asked.

"Yes?"

"I have to tell you some thing," he paused, unsure.

` "Okay..." I trailed off. This is it. He's going to break up with me now.

"Madison," he whispered in my ear. "I love you."

I was in shock. I didn't say anything or move at all. "I'm sorry. I'll just go with the plan. I had to tell you though, but I know how you feel so-" I cut him off.

"You know how I feel? Then you totally expected this," and I kissed him. Right on the lips. This time it was a real kiss.
