I had barely left the party when I heard footsteps running behind me. Wrapping my arms tightly around me, I start to walk faster. "Wait!" Connor calls out. "Violet, wait!"

"Please, leave me alone." Silent tears run down my cheeks and I don't slow down.

"I love you!" He yells, out of breath. This time, I do stop. "It's taken so long for me to realise." His voice doesn't scare me even though it is now directly behind me. 

"No shit." I mutter so only I can hear.

"I'm so sorry for everything you've gone through Violet."

"Please, don't say sorry. What's the point of saying sorry? It's not like you did anything. I'm the one who hasn't got it together. I'm in pieces, you didn't influence that. I did."

"You may think that, but, let's be serious. I knew you liked me ever since I first met you that day when you used that Harry Potter pick-up line. And I will admit, I did feel something that day, but I could help seeing you as some crazy obsessed fan. It scared me, I heard stories of people who dated fans that ended so terribly. So I pushed my feelings away. Then you were apart of the dance group Dean suggested and I saw that you didn't spend all your time obsessing over my friends and I. But I couldn't shake the idea of the whole fact that you were a fangirl. So I decided that being your friend was better than nothing, and I really enjoyed it." Connor pauses, taking in a deep breath. I turn to look up at him. "I guess I sort of forgot about my attraction to you, because I found myself becoming closer with Katelyn. Then you started dating Felix and I heard about the history between you two. Then I remembered the feelings, and the feelings for Katelyn were still there too. It was so confusing. I thought I loved Katelyn, but seeing you with Felix and then when you started talking to Brad more, it made me feel so jealous. But now I know, my love wasn't for Katelyn. It was you, it was always you."

I stand, staring at Connor, trying to take in what he had just said. Katelyn was right, Connor is in love with me. He loves me! But I can't help feel like that he will regret everything he has said. I'm damaged good and he'd be better off with Katelyn. She's blonde, beautiful, has an amazing personality and doesn't have a bad background. What am I? Dark haired, awkward, sad and so mentally unstable. I frown. "You're a dangerous girl, you know that? I guess our song sorta relates to us. You know what song I'm talking about." 

'Of course I know the song he's talking about.'

"Darling, let me show you I am good enough." He sings.

"You're too good." I reply with a small smile.

"Met a girl and she is dangerous. Don't quite know her, but I just can't get enough. I'm struck. She's gonna tear me up." Connor takes my hand and continues to sing different lyrics from Dangerous that relate to us, and I can see why he thinks so. "I must confess, I'm feeling guilty. My conscience is heavy, I'm a wreck." He pulls me into his arms. "Violet, I'm so sorry for making you wait. Please, let me make it up to you." I move back to look at him, only to have him smash his lips into mine. 

And for the first time, I felt that spark which I never felt with Felix.

This was real love.
