6 - a night to remember

*30 minute time skip*

BILLIE'S POV

i was still processing the fact that i was seeing rose after, what? i don't even remember, but i still had my silver hair so it's been a while.

but now that i think about it, rose has been in the bathroom for a while? is she good? does she even wanna see me? i don't give a damn i'm going to check on her.

i walk up to the bathrooms and entered. it was not like a normal public bathroom at all, instead of stalls there were literal bathrooms in the bathroom. like what the hell.

i hear shaky breathing and a tapping foot in one of the rooms. i walk to where it's coming from and knock on the door.

"are you okay? can i come in?" i ask.

"um, sure i guess." that all too familiar voice replies sniffling.

i walk hear the door unlock and i walk in. i see rose sitting on a cushioned bench trying to act like she was okay. it was very clear she wasn't. her leg was bouncing up and down at rapid speeds, it looked liked she had been crying, and she was having anxiety tics; though it looked like she was trying to suppress them.

i shut the door behind me and lock it. i walk over and kneel down to her level.

"what's wrong?" i ask rubbing her arm.

she sighs putting her head down. she tics again before speaking.

"it's um, it's really nothing. just overwhelmed." she answers. i could tell there was more to it than that but i didn't wanna push her.

"oh i'm sorry. i really am," i say still rubbing her arm. "do you want a hug? i mean it's the least i can do." i ask smiling.

she smiles and nods her head. i pull her into a tight hug. that familiar coconut scent hits my nose and i smile even harder. i missed this scent. i mean of course i've smelt coconut since we've stopped talking, but it was different on her.

"you still smell like vanilla." she tells me chucking in the crook of my neck.

"and you still smell like coconut." i tell her rubbing her back.

we release from the hug but still kind of hold onto each other. now we're just staring into each other's eyes. but it isn't awkward or uncomfortable, it's actually relaxing.

"i really missed you bil. i really fucking did." rose admits with tears starting to fill her eyes again.

"i missed you too. things never felt right without you." i reply squeezing her hands i was holding.

we sit in silence for a few minutes before i decide to break it.

"rose i'm really sorry about what happened then, i w-" i start to say before she cuts me off.

"billie we don't even have to bring it up. it was years ago. it's forgotten." she ensures smiling.

we sit in silence for a couple more minutes just holding each other. it was almost like we were having a conversation with each other in our own minds. i finally stand up and grab her hand.

"you wanna go back down? i think they're starting the contests soon." i ask.

she nods and stands up straightening her dress. we walk back to the dance floor hand in hand. feel good inc. starts playing and me rose start singing and messing around. right now, i feel happier than i've ever been in a while.

3RD PERSON POV

soon the contests started. there was a whipped cream pie eating contest, guess the song contest, and much more.
