Leon's POV

The lights shone down on the dancers. She was amongst them. She was never the one to entertain the men, she just enjoyed it. And hell she was good at it. That outfit fit her so perfectly. It used to be mine. She used to be mine. And all I could do now was see her at this place where I met her for the first time. 

I remember how beautiful she looked close up, her sparkling (E/C) eyes. And her vibrant (H/C) hair. The feeling of pain strikes through me at the memory... I just wanted her back. I never realized what I had until it was gone. 

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all of its sad goodbyes

I remember how she held me, I remember her touch... Intoxicating. I know she saw me in the audience because her smile faded. I listened to the song. Driving knives into my heart. It exemplified what I had done... Why she was no longer mine. I could feel her heart breaking every minute she was on that stage. And so did mine. Her scars of our past tore through her as she tried to keep her composure. And yet it seemed like her pain made her dance more seductive and hot. I could feel myself get warm. With that pain ever stabbing me, it was painful to watch what once was mine, and tear me apart... But I deserved it. 

I deserved every once of this fucking pain. 

Because I hurt her more then I could ever understand. 

I'm never gonna dance again
These guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again...
The way I danced with you

I sat in that chair... dazed out of my goddamn fucking mind. How could I have been such an asshole... Clearly she was the only one there for me... But even still it was my fault. We were there... at the ball... Dancing... I wasn't drunk... I don't know what came over me, but the woman... I just went for it... I left her at the ball alone... With this other women. I took her home instead of who I should have taken home with me. I could hear the rainfall as I was pressed up against her. I didn't even know her name. 

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

There was nothing separating us, as I took her by the fireplace. Unthinking, unknowing what the consequence would be. I didn't hear the door open over the sound of her moans erupting through the house. Practically screaming. But when she turned the corner, I could see her in the corner of my eye. Tears and mascara staining her face... I jumped off her and tried to fix myself... But it was too late. She was already gone... I raced to the door. Seeing her figure run down the driveway and into Chris' car... It was then I knew that I'd lost her. She deserved better than me...

I'm never gonna dance again
These guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again...
The way I danced with you

She couldn't hold it in... She walked off stage and into the backroom. I could hear her mumbled cries, because I had been sitting near the wall. My heart broke at hearing her cries. I could hear Chris' voice. Comforting her. Why would he be here. Through a crack in the door I saw them. My heart breaking. He wiped her tears and cupped her cheek... 

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
Now who's gonna dance with me

I broke... The tears fell... I knew where this was going. And once his lips touched hers... My heart shattered into millions of pieces that would never be able to be repaired. How I wished that I could be there with her... With Y/n... The one who truly cared for me... 

Please stay
I'm never gonna dance again
These guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again...
The way I danced with you

I wanted her too much... I was selfish... 

But this broken heart was too much to bear... There was no way I could live knowing the pain I caused her... I wished I was drunk when I did it... but not a single ounce was in my body... What I did was not right... I was the one who fucked up the relationship... 

I walked through the rain... alone and cold. 

When I felt someone stare into my back. I shouldn't have turned around. It was her. Y/n... 

Her umbrella over her head... She was not letting down. I saw Chris further back in his car. The same one she ran too on that night a year ago. 

"Why are you here Leon?" 

I stay quiet. Debating whether or not to turn away from her for the last time. 

She grows quiet. The awkward silence consumes us both. I know what she really wants to know... Why I cheated... 

"What went through your head that night. Was I nev-ver enough f-for you?" she stutters out. Her tears once again falling down her cheeks that I used to kiss goodnight. 

I can't bring myself to speak. I don't know why I did... I just wasn't being responsible... 

"I haven't seen you since then Leon. But yet everyone else says you've been there every goddamn night I perform. Why come back when you can have any woman you could ever want? It's not like I stopped you before." 

I look down at my feet. Ashamed of myself. 

"Anyone you want so why am I so fucking important to you after what you did? You think I'll fall into that fucking trap again? I thought you were the one Leon... I loved you with my whole being... All of my heart was in your hands... And you were the one to tear it apart... I still love you... And I wished to god I didn't love you Leon. Because I shouldn't love you after that. I gave you myself. Which was a big step for me. And yet you take someone else exactly where you took my first time. I believe that stung worse then it could have Leon. " She shivers and it takes all of me to not wrap my arms around her. My heart ached so bad I thought I was dying. 

"Leon... I don't want to every see you around here ever again." she stayed confident. I could just hear it in her voice. 

And she turned her back to me... I fell to my knees... and cried... Right there left alone in the cold rain. She took one look back and her gaze softened... But still filled with pain... And she turned away... And I never moved... I stayed there and cried... 

I would never be able to see her again... 

I lost my everything... 

And it could never be repaired... 

I would forever be alone...
