AN: Wow I cant believe I finished! For such a short fic, it took forever! But anyways here is the final chapter. I've already got the sequel in the making so I should be posting the first chapter soonish. For this chapter, the part of the story that is before a section of song lyrics is what is happening when that section is playing. R&R and enjoy :)
Chapter 5: I Wanna Be Your Last First Kiss
Lash and I found the others in the gym, waiting for us by the table where I had deposited my shoes when I'd first arrived. Layla was smiling at me, more widely than usual, and I beamed back.
"Guess who's starting here next year," I said smiling. Everyone burst into excited chatter. Layla squealed and tackled me into a rib-cracking embrace. Even Magenta and Warren showed flickers of emotion. I felt right at home in the group-hug we became tangled in, like this moment was where I was meant to stay. A girl dressed in white came up and tapped Warren on the shoulder, pulling him away to dance as a slow song started up.
Do you remember when we were just kids
And cardboard boxes took us miles from what we would miss
Schoolyard conversations taken to heart
And laughter took the place of everything we knew we were not
Our group began to split off, Layla and Will, Magenta and Zach, Ethan and a cute brunette girl with bright orange glasses, retreating hand-in-hand to the dance floor. Lash and I were left standing alone by the table. I smiled happily.
"I love this song," I said softly. Lash smiled back at me and nodded. He cleared his throat.
"Well," he hesitated, "It's the last song of the night. You wanna…" he trailed off and nodded toward the dance floor, which had quickly filled with couples holding each other close.
I wanna break every clock
The hands of time could never move again
We could stay in this moment (stay in this moment)
For the rest of our lives
Is it over now hey, hey, is it over now
I gave him no reply. I simply grabbed his hand and began pulling him toward the mass of bodies swaying to the music. We reached a spot where we could dance comfortably. I pulled him close and he wrapped his arms around me and I rested my head on his chest. I became lost in the music and the feeling of him being so close and I buried my face in his shirt.
I wanna be your last, first kiss
That you'll ever have
I wanna be your last, first kiss
Amazing how life turns out the way that it does
We end up hurting the worst, the only ones we really love
He tightened his grip around me, ever so slightly. I leaned closer and took in his scent, one that had become so familiar to me after all these years. It was the smell of Axe with just a faint tinge of cigarette smoke. I continued to inhale his comforting scent as I felt his limbs, which had been so tense, begin to loosen.
I wanna break every clock
The hands of time could never move again
We could stay in this moment (stay in this moment)
For the rest of our lives
Is it over now hey, hey, is it over now
I moved to rest my head on his shoulder as we continued to sway with the soft melody.
I wanna be your last, first kiss
That you'll ever have
I wanna be your last, first kiss
I looked up at him. Our eyes met and I contemplated kissing him. I'd known the boy since before preschool. No reason to go fucking up a good thing. It would be best just to enjoy this time. But then he leaned in close, keeping his eyes on mine. I found that there was a knot forming in my stomach as he got closer and closer to me. Much like it had earlier, time slowed down. The music and swaying bodies around us slowed down. I felt his breath on my face. He looked at my lips for just a moment and then our lips met. Having never kissed anyone before, I hadn't known what to expect. Lash moved his lips against mine slowly and softly, almost nervously. It was the sweetest thing I'd ever experienced. When we broke apart, Lash rested his forehead against mine.
"I thought I was going to lose you tonight," he whispered in my ear, " I can't imagine my life without you."
I wanna be your last, first love (that you'll ever have)
Till you're lying here beside me with arms and eyes open wide
I wanna be your last, first kiss for all time
