Winters pov
I walked into the man cave and saw a big machine in the room. "So what exactly am I going to do about my ruined dress?" I asked. "See this machine?" Schwaz asked. "It's a nice machine!" I said not knowing where he was going with this. "It is how we make our costume gum balls!" Ray said. "So?" I said. "So we can use it to design you a dress and put you in it!" Charlotte said. "Oh that's good!" I said. We spent a few minutes making the outfit. When it was done the machine rattled and shook and made a lot of noise. Then a little gum ball popped out. "All that for one gum ball!" I said surprised. I took it and blew a bubble and in a second I was beautiful. "Purple. My color." I whispered. "Now get back to that dance and make it yours!" Ray said. I smiled. "Thanks guys. I was pretty upset before but you cheered me up. Gotta split!" I went up the tube and back to the dance. I took a deep breath before entering. Everyone stopped and stared. Even henry. I checked about the door before walking on and nothing was there so I went in. I smoothly walked by everyone. Then henry ran up to me. "Winter! Winter I'm so sorry about that prank it wasn't meant for you you have to know that!" He pleaded. "It's okay Charlotte told me everything. Your a good friend." I said and he smiled. "Where'd you get that dress?" He asked. "Let's just say it came from a gum ball." I winked and henry understood. "So we're back together?" He asked. I frowned. "About that, we need to talk." We went into the hall and I made sure no one was listening. "We can't get back together. Td not because of the prank but I've been thinking and I need to start taking my training seriously if I want to be a superhero. And you, your a distraction that I can't afford. All the drama takes over my life and I can't handle it. Not to mention I get a heart attack every time you do something dangerous. And we never get to spend any time together. I think it's for the best." His eyes were pleading. "No! I want to be with you! We can work it out! Please don't do this!" He begged. "I'm sorry. But maybe you'll be happier with a normal girl." I said. "I won't be happy with anyone but you!" I said. "I'm sorry henry. I want to still be friends. I'll always love you." He looked up. "Okay. I can't make you be my girlfriend. I would like to still be friends. But I'll always love you too." I gave him one last kiss. "I have to go. I'm performing." I turned and left him in the hall. I got on stage knowing exactly what I wanted to sing. "Hi everybody! This is a song called Someone by Kelly Clarkson.

Lyrics
So this is my apology
For saying all those shitty things
I wish I didn't really mean
I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
You had your red flags up and raised
More traffic than east LA
But I drove in anyway
My common sense on holiday
People fall out of phase, we were a crash course
We will just be a place stuck on your passport
You traveled to sometime
But I hope you will find

[Chorus:]
Someone to cry for, someone to try for
Someone to turn your crooked roads into her streets
Someone to fight for, someone to die for
Someone whose arms will hold you tight enough to be
The reason you breathe
Be the reason you breathe

We stay in love like vacation homes
You like summers on the sunny coast
But when the cold needs a winter coat
You say you will until you don't
You wore a compass around your neck
A different North than we'd ever read
Well, did you get where you're going yet?
Wish you the worst, wish you the best
I don't know how I fell into your rearview
Paralyzed lullaby, I couldn't hear you
So I hope you were right
And next to you tonight, there's...

[Chorus]

So this is my apology
For saying all those shitty things
I wish I didn't really mean
Sorry, I'm not sorry

As I was singing I looked into the cheering crowd and saw henry watching me. He nodded because he understood what I was telling him through song. That I wanted to find someone to make him happy because I couldn't. The song ended and everyone cheered. After that I didn't want to think about it anymore that night. I went to the snack table and got some punch. Charlotte, Jasper, and Bianca came running over. "You were amazing!" Jasper said excitedly. "Yeah that was awesome!" Bianca said. "Thanks! So I'm guessing you all saw what happened between and henry." I said and everyone looked down. "Yeah we heard. Sorry." Jasper said. "Well guess what? I dint want to think about it anymore tonight! Let's just have some fun!" We all cheered and headed to the dance floor as the song Dance With Me by Kelly Clarkson came on. We all started dancing like idiots and laughed and had fun. Henry came over and joined us and we partied the night away. I will miss henry as my boyfriend, but as long as I have him in my life i should be fine. I hope.
