Everyone was looking at you both. One of the newer guard's mouth was hung open, like those unclose-able chests that always are open wide.

"(y/n). Come here." Ty said. She was wearing her usual sweater and jeans. You walk to the table they sat at... all the girls' eyes focused on your dress.

"What?" You asked.

"You got Dante!" Tiana said.

"Who? Dante?"

"Yeah. The blue haired guy." Krystal said, her eyes focused on Laurance.

"Umm... okay?" They all stare at you in disbelief.

"'Okay'? Girly, this is more than an okay. This is a freaking 'OH MY GOSH IMMA DIE!'" Tiana said.

"Why is it that?" You ask, oblivious to what is happening currently.

"Well..." Tiana got cut off by Garroth coming towards the table.

He stopped when he was next to you. "Umm... (y/n)... I, um... my I ask you something?"

You nod. "Sure! What do you need?"

"Would you, um, like to... um... wouldyouliketodancewithme?" Garroth asked you. You hear snickering from the guys.

"Umm... what did you say? You, kinda, talked too fast at the last part." Now Garroth looked more uncomfortable. Another laugh from the guys.

"W-Would you like to, um, to dance with me?"

You were startled from what he had said.

"S-Sure!" You feel you face heat up.

Dang it face! Why you do this?

As you dance, a song came on.

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red,

I love you...

After the end of the song, you felt your face heat up. Because Garroth said something you'd never thought anyone, since Alyssa died, would say that to you.

"I love you."

Much luv <3
