Leo and I are not like before, like we were when we started dating. Our relationship is not going from a very good phase but we are together and that's what matters. We talk but it's very less lately Leo is mostly stressed about everything. Our makeout sessions are more intense and rough. It's like he is taking out his frustration on me. But at the end of it I have multiple orgasms. I came undone across his mouth or fingers. I am not complaining about it. I enjoy it a lot. The high that comes with it is intoxicating. The bliss is unmatchable. Our romantic chemistry is really good. But I miss us. I miss his cheesy flirting, his comforting closeness. I miss how we used to be.
Amanda, Ben and I are sitting in the cafeteria. Eating out sandwiches and fries. Ben is holding Amanda's hand and whispering something in her ear that is making her cheeks turn pink and she laughed and said stop looking around. I smiled as I looked at them. It reminds me of me and Leo in dinner eating cheese burgers and saying sweet nothing to each other.
"So" Amanda says bringing me back to the present from the past. "You have decided what you are going to wear to the prom?" I replied "No, not really. I wanted to go shopping with my mom. But Leo and I haven't really told her or anybody about us so I don't know how to ask her to buy me a dress to go out on the prom with my boyfriend whom she doesn't know anything about". I exhaled, annoyed and tired. "Oh! Don't worry sweety. We can go shopping together today. I want to buy some tank tops for myself. We can look for a dress for you too." She said cheerfully. "Okay" I said with a small smile. She grinned at me "I am so jealous of you. You get to go to the prom and I have to be at home all alone." "Hey I could accompany you. You don't have to be all alone baby" Ben said to her and she gave him a look and kissed his cheek.

In the evening we went shopping. I tried at least fifty dresses at twelve different stores. I tried dresses in pretty much every colour, shape and style. After two and a half hours of searching. We were exhausted. But it's the best kind of exhaustion. Shopping with your girlfriend can never be too tiring or boring. It's just so fun I didn't even feel sad about Leo's bitterness lately. "No it isn't it Mia. I mean I like it you look beautiful in everything. You got a model's body that can make any dress look pretty on you. But it is not your dress." Amanda said. I gape at her honesty. Amanda is brutally honest and she just doesn't care about presenting the truth with a little politeness our last attendant almost cried at her brutal rejection. "Yeah you are right it's pretty but it's not it. I said with a smile at our attendant. Hopefully she doesn't take Amanda's remark too harshly after our ninth rejection. She sighed "I am afraid I am out of all options that i selected according to your description",she said apologetically. "That's okay" I said with a small smile. "I guess today is not my day" I said meeting Amanda's eyes through the mirror.
I changed my clothes and we were leaving but I saw a dress hanging on the shelf. It was so beautiful it got my attention immediately. I was baby blue and had ruffles. It sparkled like Cinderella's ball gown. God it was beautiful nothing like what I wanted but the little girl who loves fairy tales was dying to try it on. "Excuse me" I said to the nearest sales women "can I try this?" She agreed and brought it to the changing room. I put it on and it was magical. My jaw was on the floor when I saw myself in the mirror. When I walked out Amanda stood up from her seat and said "it is your dress" she said it even before I stood up on the pedestal. I laughed at her sudden straight forward response. "You look amazing Mia. I am so jealous of Leo right now" she says and hugged me so tightly. I laughed.

On the day of prom. I got ready in Amanda's house. Her parents are out of the city for the weekend leaving Amanda and her brother alone in the house. I got there for the night stay. So that my parents won't be suspicious. I didn't lie completely I will come back to her house for the night but I am going to the prom with Leo now.
I feel so God wearing this dress with hair and makeup. Although I didn't do much with the hair I just left my long dark curls open and makeup is soft. The dress is the star of the day It makes me look like a modern cinderella. And the prom is only making it more of the fairytale. Plus I get to spend time and dance with Leo which is the best part, he is my prince charming after all.
I got ready and went to school. We had decided to meet there. Leo is going to come with his friend and Amanda's brother is driving me there. When I reached there Amanda wished me luck so did his elder brother. I thanked them and left. I texted Leo that I have reached the prom and I am waiting at the gate for him. He texted me back he is on his way. I was waiting for him so excited. I can't wait for him to see me like this. All the girls and boys entering the prom are turning back to look at me. Some of them even complimented me. I feel so shy taking all those compliments I don't like being the centre of attention. But today I am tolerating it only because of Leo. But as shy and nervous I feel about everybody's attention, I feel even excited to see Leo's reaction to me. I can't wait to hear his compliments because I don't care about being beautiful for the world I want to do it only for him.
I waited and waited but Leo never came. I called and called but his phone was off and I texted and texted but he didn't reply. It was more than an hour. No one is even coming this late now. I feel a little scared to be standing here all alone now and it's getting late. So I walked inside the school and decided to wait there for him. I texted him that although he didn't reply to it like every other text.
When I entered the party , I walked straight to the corner and sat on the chair. My eyes went on the dance floor and I was shocked to see the sight in front of me.
Leo was dancing with another girl on the dance floor. He was holding her waist and looking at her and swaying his body in rhythm with her. I feel like my heart is going to burst out my chest. I feel this sharp pain. Tears started filling my eyes. Leo was here and he didn't even come to me. I feel like I will get a heart attack. I am sure he will have his reasons, he can't do this to me. I walked towards the dance floor to talk to him.
I blink back my unshed tears and taped Leo's shoulder. He turned around to look at me. He said "yes ?" My eyes furrowed in response. How could he just never so casual about it. "You didn't tell me that you came inside the party." I said with all the courage I had left. "And why will I tell you that ?" He said with nonchalance. And I couldn't hold back anymore and a tear fell from my left eye. "Leo what did I do ?" I asked trying to hold back tsunami of tears forming inside me back and I know I am doing a terrible job because my voice break as I speak. "Did I hurt you somehow ?" The girl dancing with Leo walked out "excuse me, I am not being part of this drama".
Leo held me by my arm and dragged me to a quiet corner, his eyes were blank of any emotions. I never thought I would ever dislike his beautiful brown eyes but now I hate the way they look at me. But when he started speaking my heart broke into a million pieces. "Mia if you don't get it already let me say this clearly to you. We are done."
World around me blackouts. My body went numb like I can't feel anything in the moment. I didn't know words could hurt someone so much that they would feel like they are dying, but they could. Three words that killed me were We are done.
