The sound of the tires against the gravel fills my ears as we pull up to the gym where the dance is held. Caleb hops out of the car and runs around to my side to open my door. That is when I realize what he is wearing. Oh my God do we have to actually go to this dance or can we just go back home and sleep together? His black suit clings to his muscles and it makes my tongue go dry.
He offers me a hand and helps me out of the car. We all four walk towards the gym doors as the music fills my ears. We push the doors open and the lights blind me. There are people hopping around making a tiny mosh pit in the middle of the gym. I feel fingers interlace with mine and I turn to see Caleb looking down at me smiling. "You look beautiful" he says "thanks stud you don't look to bad yourself" i say smiling up at him.
I feel someone's breath on my ear as I turn to see tate "tell him how you feel" she wispers as she walks off with Ryder. I smile at her letting her know I would try. He starts draging me towards the group of people dancing and by the time we make it there there is a slow song playing and the people are dispursing as some people stay and dance with one another. I believe the song is perfect by ed Sheeran.
He offers me his hand and I take it. He puts his hands on my hips and my arms falls softly around his neck. We sway with the music as our foreheads rest on one another. "You know I think i'm in love with you" his voice comes out as a wisper but I hear it. I pull my head away from his to look into his gorgeous eyes. "Do you mean that? Because if I tell you I love you too you can't back out on me" I laugh and I can visibly see him relax. "Yo-you love me too?" He asks like he is surprised.
"I do... I love you so much it hurts sometimes" I say smiling. He pulls my lips to his and he kisses me with so much passion I think I might fall over. I pull away to see his lips smudged with red lipstick. I bring my thumb up to rub it over his bottom lip. "I think this should be our song" he suggests as I lay my head on his chest listening to his heart beat along with the music. "I think it should be to" I agree the lyrics mach our situation so perfectly it's crazy.
I sway back and forth thinking about how happy I am. I've never been this happy before. He completes me. He makes me feel whole. He makes life worth living. I step away slightly so I can look up at him "Molly has an appointment set to adopt me tomorrow!" I say excitement rushing through me.
"Oh my God that's great why didn't you tell me?" He asks his smile covering his whole face. "I wa-" I start but am cut off by a stinging pain shooting through my body making me suck in a breath.
"That is what you get for rejecting me" I hear a voice wisper from behind me.

Her mouth hangs open as the words she were about to say get caught in her throat. He face pales as her eyes trail down to look at her stomach. My eyes follow her's to see a peice of sharp steel shoved through her body before it retreats and disappears. Her hands release from around my neck as her hand comes down to hold the spot. Dark blood seeps through her fingers as her body stumble backwards.
My hand wraps around her back as my other hand rests on her head as I slowly lay her down on the floor. I look around to see everyones mouths moving and everyone staring at us but I can't hear anything. My eyes land on Marcus standing holding the knive that just periced through her body looking as though he doesn't regret it.
I look back down at stella to see her eyes widened as her chest moves up and down rapidly. My hands move on top of hers helping put pressure on the wound the warm blood making it's way onto my palms.Her bottom lips quivers as a tear escapes her eye running into her perfectly curled hair. The blood starts to pool on the wooden floor of the gym as her breaths start to slow. Her blue irises start to dissappear and my blood covered hand comes up to rest on her cheek. "Hey hey stella open your eyes you can't leave me" my shaky voice sounds as her eyes slowly open.
She turns her head to look at me and blood slowly trickles out of the corner of her mouth. Her hand comes up and rests on my cheek her thumb running over my cheek bone. "I'm sorry tell Molly I'm sorry and Ryder and tate" she starts to sob as her whole body shakes.
"And I'm sorry to you for denying that I loved you for so long..I should have told you the day I figured it out. We could have had so much more time together." She says as she sucks In a breath. "Hey princess it's not your fault we have plenty of time together the ambulance is on it's way" I say not sure who I'm trying to convince more her or me. I assume one of the fifty students standing around us called 9-1-1.
"No no I'm not going to make it Caleb I can feel it...I love you" she wispers before her hand drops limp off my face and her eyes close. I feel her breathing stop under my hands and a wrecked sob escapes my lips "no no no don't go don't leave me you are the only thing that makes me happy please don't go" I sob as I pull her limp body to my chest.
I feel tears roll down my cheeks she can't be gone she can't just leave. "I love you please just stay" i wispers into her hair as her lavender and vanilla scent fills my nostrils.
