"Well, I love you..." I said to Hazel.

She looked right into my eyes, her brown beautiful eyes were glistening in the moon light, she smiled, it made my heart beat faster. 

She pulled me into a hug, I felt her hands shaking on my back, I smiled and took a deep breath, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. 

"I love you too Oscar. The whole thing with Sam on the tour was just...a test." She replied to me finally, pulling back and blushing. 

I frowned, but still smiling, she just told me she loved me too. "A test of what?" I asked.

She laughed a little, and looked down at the floor, shaking her head, I knew she was shy and embarrased. 

I moved closer to her, feeling her flinch as my warm breath touched her pale white skin. "Tell me." I whispered.

She looked up again, back into my eyes, I felt myself melt away, she was so beautiful. "A test to see if..." 

"Oscar, come on dude!" Someone interrupted. I frowned, not knowing what was happening. "OSCAR!" I heard again. 

"What?" I asked. But I started to feel someone shaking me. 

That's when I woke from my dream, sitting straight up and pushing someone's arms from me, groaning really loudly. "FUCK." I shouted, feeling so pissed off. 

Then I stopped and calmed myself. I wanted that dream to be real, I wanted to know what she had to say, maybe it was a sign that I needed to actually tell her to be able to find out. 

I looked up again, it was Joey, looking slightly shocked, standing in a tux. I frowned. "What are you wearing?" I asked.

Joey sighed and sat next to me on the sofa. "Dude. You were meant to come to the small memorial for Hazel's grandma. Every single band member was there, Asking Alexandria, Motionless In White, Blessthefall, then you wasn't there.." 

I opened my eyes wide, and looked at Joey in pure shock. "What time is it?" I asked.

"It's 3pm an hour until we start driving back to London for the flight back to America tomorrow. You missed the memorial and Hazel was really fucking upset again." Joey replied. 

I suddenly started to shake. We had arrived in York yesterday evening, Hazel asked that all band members came to the graveyard to visit her grandma's grave and pay respects as it was almost a year since her burial today, then we were meant to go for a meal afterwards. 

"I was supposed to be there.." I said, still in total shock with myself. I then started to cry, I stood up, shaking and getting angry and panicking. "I WAS FUCKING SUPPOSED TO BE THERE FOR HER AND I WASN'T." 

Joey quickly stood up, grabbed me into a hug and we sat down, I cried and cried, I was such a terrible person.

(Hazel POV)

"Are you sure you're okay?" Sam asked me again as we were walking in the local park where me and Danny always used to come after school on sunny days. 

I turned to him and nodded. "I think so. I'm just pissed with Oscar for not even turning up, I don't know what's got into him lately, he seems to be avoiding me."

Sam moved closer to me and took my hand, our fingers tangled together and I felt my heart skip a beat. I smiled a little at him.

I was wearing a short black lacey sleeved dress, with my long purple hair straightened, I then wore skin coloured tights and black high heels, I had dark purple lipstick on and black eye shadow, masscara and liner.

Sam was wearing a normal black and white suit and tie. He looked very handsome, I would've loved to have shown up at my prom night those years ago with someone that looked like him on my arm. 

[FLASH BACK]

"Smile for the camera!" My grandma said to me as she held a camera up infront of me. 

I was sixteen and I would be leaving school in two days time, tonight was prom night, and I totally wouldn't miss it, despite not having any friends anymore, since Danny now hung around with the popular kids.

My grandma couldn't afford to buy me an expensive dress like all the other girls would be wearing tonight, but I didn't mind. 

I was wearing a pink frilly dress, I found it quite ugly, but at least it was still something to wear I guess, it was from the local chairty shop, my gran had swen some white little bows around the bottom of the dress and she added some white netting on the chest part. She then dug out some white high heels which my mother had left behind, I slipped them on and I felt alright. 

I combed my now long brown natural hair and tied it into a bun, then my grandma added a little tiara that she also brought with the dress. 

She snapped the photo and smiled at it, I laughed and walked up to her, hugging her, but not too tightly, I didn't want to hurt her delicate body. 

"You look lovely Hazel, please make sure you try to have a good time dear." She said to me.

I smiled and nodded. "I will gran. Thank-you." I said, then I kissed her cheek and hugged her once more. 

I grabbed my white purse and walked out of the door, heading to my local pub where the meal would be. 

**

When I got inside, people were already laughing and joking around with eachother, it was mainly popular kids, so I felt very uncomftable, I sat at the table which I had been told to by staff, and I just watched everyone else around me, drink and have a good time.

I looked to my right and I saw Danny with a bunch of new friends he had, he was drinking something which was clearly not allowed, but I guess the teachers couldn't be bothered to deal with him tonight. He had some slutty girls clinging onto him and it made my stomach flip. He'd changed so much since hanging around with these people.

I missed hanging around with the old Danny. 

"Hey, Whitmore." I heard someone call me, I looked back around to see a bunch of kids who were friends with Danny also walking towards me, they were about to pick on me, I just knew it. 

**

"Oh, I'm so sorry dear..." My grandma said to me, holding me tightly. 

I was now back home and in tears, kids started to mock me about what I was wearing, calling me granny because I was wearing an old dress and shoes, then someone threw a cake at me and it went all down the front of my dress, staining it. 

I looked like a fool and I was upset that Danny had seen this happen, but he just stood in shock, not telling them to leave me alone, he really had changed and I hated him.

[END OF FLASH BACK]

"Hazel?" Sam asked me again. 

I snapped out of my daydream and looked right at him, he was smiling at me. 

"Sorry, my mind just started wondering off on me.." I said to him, blushing. 

Sam chuckled and pulled me into a hug. "It's alright." He whispered.

That's the moment I realised, I shouldn't be living in the past at all, I needed to live in the now, start seeing the world with an open mind and soul. 

That's when I'd be at my best..
