Lonely Dancers

"We're lonely dancers, join me for the night. We're lonely dancers, baby, dance with me so we don't cry!"

"Your lover left you, broke up tonight. My lover's busy kissing other guys. We're both alone now, tears in our eyes, I know the perfect way to waste our time"

"Wait, stop, forget that guy, he don't know love, I hope he dies"


...


I went on a walk alone again but this time it was 4pm so it wasn't all dark. I sat on the same bench as last night and almost immediately I received another message from that number.

"Meet me again tonight. 2am. Same bench"

"Who are you?"

"Your secret lover"

I definitely wasn't going to go, even though I really wanted to know who that was. It was definitely too dangerous for me. I could get kidnapped or even worse, killed.


...


It was 2:05am and the sound of notifications on my phone woke me up. 

"It's 2am, where are you?"

"Will"

"I'm waiting for you"

"If you didn't wanna come you could've just said that"

"Will"

"It's 2:03 wtf"

"Please confirm you're coming, this is important to me"

"It's 2:05"

I didn't want to answer. I wasn't going to do that. I couldn't let whoever that was get away with it.

I fell asleep again, but not for too long because 10 minutes later I heard a sound. Footsteps. Someone was there, in my room. I froze.

"Will?"

That voice sounded kind of familiar, but I still didn't know who it was because they were whispering. Was it the stalker or was I just crazy?

There was a short silence before I spoke.

"Who are you"

"Will, it's me."

I turned my head around because this time I could clearly recognise their voice.

"Hi" 

"Hi"

"Why are you here?"

"I... I don't know? You weren't replying and I got scared"

"Oh. So you're..."

"Yeah"

Mike sat next to me in my bed, I rested my head on his shoulder and we stayed like that for a couple minutes, not saying anything. That silence, somehow, wasn't awkward at all. I knew him, he knew me, and there was something between us that both of us knew but couldn't speak about.


...


Without saying anything, still in silence, "I love you, I'm sorry" by Gracie Abrams started playing from his phone. He got up and took my hand. 

"What are you doing?"

He didn't saying anything. Instead, he grabbed my other hand and put them both on his waist, and he did the same with his hands on my shoulders. I rested my head on his shoulder again. 

Slow dancing in the middle of the night in my room, it was just us and the music. 

When the song ended, "Ever seen" by beabadoobee started playing, but we didn't stop dancing.
"said I had the prettiest eyes he'd ever seen, he has the prettiest eyes I've ever seen"

"That's true" he whispered while the song was still playing. 

"What?"

"I think you have the prettiest eyes I've ever seen"

I looked up to see his face. He was so unbelievably pretty. 

"I love you" he said, and kissed me while the song changed to "boyfriends" by Harry Styles.
