Ali's POV :
It's been three weeks since em and I broke up. Erin and I had to give our presentation a couple weeks ago. It was really awkward. We haven't really talked since. I talk to the girl's now and then. I try to say hey to em. But she never responds. She just looks lost. She just stares in class. And mopes around the halls. She barely talks to anyone. I still feel broken. I don't dress up very much. I don't go out. I just go to school and go home. I think about Em all the time. I was walking down the halls when I saw a sign. Homecoming October 15th. A Time To Remember. Tickets go on sale next week. Homecoming.. Em and I were supposed to go. I wonder if she's going. I found Aria in the hall. "Hey. Do you know if em is going to homecoming?" I asked her. "Umm. I'm not sure. Why what's up?" She asked. "I was just wondering. I was thinking about it. You should take her with you guys. She needs to get out and have fun." I said. "I'll talk to her. I'll let you know." She said. She hugged me and walked away. I walked to history and sat down. There was a note on my desk when I walked in. I was hoping it was from Em. "Ali, I know we haven't gotten along lately. And I know you haven't gone out for a while. I would absolutely love it if you went to homecoming with me." I looked up and Erin was standing there. "Just as friends?" He said. "I don't think that's a good idea." I said. "Come on Ali. You haven't been out in weeks. You've been wearing sweat pants. I just want you to have fun for one night. I would really love it." He said. I thought for a moment. "Okay. But just as friends. And I can't promise I'm going to have fun." I said. "Great. Thank you ali." He said. The class went by fast. Lunchtime. I usually sit alone but I wanted to sit with my friends. I know emily will be there but they're my friends too. I sat down next to aria. "Hey." I said. "She's going. I talked her into it. Now don't say anything else." She said. Spencer, Hanna, and Emily walked over. Spencer and Hanna sat down. Emily just stopped and looked for a moment. The sat down and didn't say anything. We were all pretty quiet. It was a little awkward. The bell rang and we got up. Emily and I made eye contact. We just looked at each other. Then she walked away. My heart raced and butterflies swarmed my stomach when she looked at me. I love her. I love her so much.
Emily's POV :
Aria had talked me into going to homecoming with them. I didn't really want to go but I am. I could use a night out with the girls. I wonder if Ali is going. I hope she is. She needs to get out again. I wonder if she's going to have a date. I was walking down the hall when someone came up to me. It was my friend Sydney. "Did you hear?" She said. "Hear what?" I asked confused. "About Ali. She's going to homecoming with erin." She said. I just walked away. How could she do this. I knew she had a thing for him. Whatever. We're not together so it doesn't matter. Aria was making me wear a dress. Not that I mind it's just that I don't usually wear them.
A week later the tickets went on sale. I bought one ticket for myself. The girls all bought two. One for them and one for the boys. I was the only one with out a date. But Aria promises that I will have fun. They drug me out to go dress shopping with them. We went through two different stores before they started finding some they liked. I was looking on the rack when one caught my eye. It was a strapless white with cold thick stripes dress. It was about knee length. I tried it on and showed the girls. They loved it. I bought it and found some gold high heels to go with it. I was actually kind of excited.
Ali's POV :
I decided to go dress shopping today. I was at a store downtown looking when some girls walked in I looked over and it was aria, spencer, Hanna and em. My heart started to pound. I walked out of the store. I couldn't face em. Especially right now. She knows that I'm going to homecoming with erin. I left and went to another store. I found a dress I liked. It was a one sleeve black dress with red on it. I bought it with some red heels. I wasn't all that excited to go but I knew I needed to go. I needed a night out. I went home and hung up my dress. I laid on my bed and thought about Em. I thought about what it would be like if she never would have saw us. We would be going to homecoming together. I started to cry. I miss her so much. My life isn't complete with out her.
It was the night of homecoming. I was getting ready when I heard my door bell ring. "Erins here ali." My dad yelled to me. "I'll be there in a minute." I yelled back. My dad doesn't like erin. He knows Erins is the reason em and I broke up. He loves emily. He tells me all the time I need to figure out a way to get her back. It just makes me cry because I know he's right. I finished curling my hair and I put on red lipstick. I walked down stairs. "Wow. You look great." Erin said. I saw my dad glare at him. "Thank you." I said. We got into his car and we drove to the school. We walked in the dance and everyone just looked at us. I looked around and I saw the girls. Really I only saw em. God she looked amazing. She wasn't looking at me. We walked over and got some punch. We went over and sat down for a a little bit. Erin stood up and walked over to me. He put his hand out. "Let's dance." He said. I didn't want to but he insisted. "Okay." I said. I got up and took his hand. He led me to the dance floor. We started dancing. I looked around and I spotted em. She was dancing with the girls and their boyfriends. She looked happy. I started to cry. "I'm sorry. I'll be right back." I said I ran to the bathroom and started crying. It kills me to see Em. That should be us dancing and having having a blast. But I'm here with erin. How could I let this happen. How could I be so stupid. I walked out of the bathroom and went over to our table and just sat there. I sat there for about an hour feeling miserable. Erin had gone and found some friends. I was alone. I got up and headed to the door. Then I felt someone grab my hand.
Emily's POV :
I was out dancing with everyone. I was having a good time, but I wish Ali was here. It's not the same. We were dancing and I looked around. Ali wasn't out here. Where was she? I kept looking around and I saw her heading for the door. Alone. I busted out of the crowd. I ran toward her. This isn't right. We both deserve to have at least one good dance. As I was running the song changed. A Thousand Years came on. She was about to push open the door. I reached out and grabbed her hand. "Wait." She turned around. Tears built in her eyes. "em." She said "we both deserve one good dance. This is supposed to be a fun happy night. Can I please have this dance ali?" I asked. "Yes." She said. I grabbed her hand and led her to the middle of the dance floor. I turned around and pulled her closer to me by her waist. She looked so amazing. My heart started beating and butterflies swarmed in. This is how my night was supposed to be. I just stared into her beautiful blue eyes. She looked like she was going to cry. I put my hand on her cheek and wiped the tears away with my thumb. "Hey. Don't cry." I said. "I'm so sorry em. I'm so stupid." I cut her off. "Shh no. Stop. I'm the one who is sorry. I should have never acted like that. I believe you. I love you. I always have and I always will. I never stopped. You were constantly on my mind. Especially tonight. This is how I want to be. This is how I always want to be. Just you and I. No one else. Ali I love you. I cant live without you. Will you please be my girlfriend again?" I said. She just looked at me. Tears built up and over flowed. "Of course." She said. I smashed our lips together. We got so caught up in the moment I didn't even realize there was no music playing and we were the center of attention. I broke the kiss and looked around. Everyone had formed a circle around us. They all had tears of joy in their eyes. And when we kissed everyone cheered. Our friends came up and hugged us. "Come on babe let's get out of here." I said and I grabbed her hand.
