ILLENIUM (ft. Bahari) - Crashing:
'How could I go home when I feel like I belong in your arms? It's like champagne, feel it pouring in my veins. Yeah, I got myself too drunk on you to drive so I'm crashing here tonight'

"Oh my god, there you are! I've been looking all over for you!" Maddie yelled over the music when Fiona joined her on the dancefloor. She wrapped her arm around her neck and tried to whisper in her ear over the music. "I've been having really bad period cramps and I ran into George and he sat with me for a while. He's been really nice". Madeleine pulled her head away and Fiona saw her eyes get wider when she spotted George behind her. It didn't take long before her shocked face turned into a massive smile and Fiona warned her without saying a word to not act like a weirdo. But before Maddie could do something, one of Fiona's favourite songs came on and the girls started singing and dancing happily. George laughed at them and even though he probably wasn't that much of a dancer, he joined them anyway.

The three of them had a blast and for a while, Fiona totally forgot about the cramps she was having an hour ago. They danced, sang along to the music and a few of the mechanics had joined them so they were all in a big circle. Until a few minutes ago when Madeleine had built up the courage to walk over to Toby and she had finally dared to talk to him. "She has the biggest crush on him, hasn't she?" George asked and Fiona nodded while swaying her hips to the music. "She has been talking about him non-stop for three days now. But she was too scared to talk to him so props to her for doing it now". The both of them laughed and Fiona looked at her friend in the corner of the cafeteria. She could totally tell that Toby liked her too and even though they probably both didn't want to admit it yet, they looked so good together.

When the fast and pounding music suddenly stopped and a slower song came on, Fiona hesitated for a while. Were they supposed to keep dancing or should she walk off and go get a drink or just sit at a table again? She carefully looked over at George and she could see the same thoughts running across his mind. "D-Do you want to sit down or something?" Fiona asked him and for a second it looked like he was about to nod but suddenly he placed his hand on her arm again. "Wait, do you want to dance with me?" He asked and without even thinking about it, Fiona nodded. It was as if her brain completely forgot to include her in the decisions it made when she was around George.

He turned towards her and placed one hand on her waist, but he still kept a proper distance between them. Fiona looked around and saw Madeleine look at them and nod before she lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck. They were stood close together now and Fiona could feel her heartbeat in her throat. George slowly started swaying them left and right to the music and she decided to just let go for a while. He smelled really nice and Fiona could feel his gorgeous blue eyes on her face. They didn't say a word to each other for the entire duration of the song. It felt like the quickest three minutes Fiona had ever experienced but at the same time, she had decided to enjoy every single second of this experience.

When the song ended, George slowly let go of her and they were both just looking at each other for a split second until another fast, pounding song started playing again. Fiona didn't know how to feel. He did something to her she hadn't felt in a really long time and even though she had already known that from the second she saw him the first time at the reception desk, it was getting really hard to ignore now. Suddenly, her head started pounding and within moments, Fiona felt like she was going to faint. The excruciating pain in her stomach was returning also and without thinking about it, she grabbed George's arm to let him know there was something wrong.

He didn't need any words. He wrapped his arm around her waist to hold her up and walked with her to a secluded area where he sat her down on a chair. "I'm so s-sorry George. You don't have to stay w-with me. I just need to get M-Maddie and then she can drive me h-home. Please don't let me ruin y-your night". Fiona said and she felt the first tear roll across her cheek. The pain had become even worse and she knew she wasn't able to stand up from this chair if she tried. "Do you have her number?" George asked and Fiona nodded with furrowed eyebrows while she tried to get her phone from her purse. After she searched her friends' number and handed the phone to George, he pressed a button and held it to his ear.
