So This Is Love?

CHAPTER 10 | I Guess Facts Can't Make A Situation Less Awkward...

Song is "A World Alone" by Lorde and the picture is of the dress :)

(BTW if you like Lorde and Disclosure then listen to "Magnets" by Lorde and, You guessed it, Disclosure)

CHAPTER 10 ~ Brooke's POV

"Yes," I tell him smiling.

"What?" Zach asks looking confused. What's so confusing? That was pretty straight forward.

"Yes, I have my decision."

"You don't need to tell me, I already know your answer." He says looking at the ground. What is he sad about? How can he possibly know that I have doubts about a relationship but can't let him go? He's left too many feelings behind and I can't just let him go like that. And what? All because of a stupid argument. Lately, he has been the only person that is always there when I need him. And not because I asked, because he wants to be. Because he cares. And that, it means the world to me.

"What? How?" I question.

"I can just tell." He shrugs and turns to walk away. He must've felt obligated to stay, dancing with me, for the rest of the song and so now that the song is over he wants to leave. Not just yet. I need to talk to him. He's the only reason I'm here tonight. Chase told Ella that they would be out at a bar tonight and said Ella should meet them there. Ella said yes but wanted me to come and to meet someone new apparently I think too much.

"No, you're not leaving yet. I haven't told you my decision." I argue as "Photograph" by Ed Sheeran but remixed by Felix Jaehn comes out through the speakers.

"I know what you want to say. I'm just trying to prevent as much pain as possible." The look on Zach's face when he says that makes my heart break and crumble. How could I hurt him like that?

"I want to be friends." I shout over the music in a last resort so he stops walking away.

Abruptly, Zach stops walking and turns around, running towards me like his life depended on it. Scooping me up into a tight hug and lifting me off the ground to spin me. Wasn't expecting that reaction. If that's what I have to say to get him to hug me like that then I would say things like that every day. I always feel safe and protected in his arms, like nothing can touch me, like nothing can harm me because he has me and will protect me from the pain in the world.

When we both gets dizzy, Zach gently places me back on the ground so we can continue to dance. Song after song Zach and I dance, no words needed the moment is already perfect. I can't stop the loud thump of my heart as it beats rapidly, nor can I stop the butterflies that have been let loose in my stomach.

Firefly - Mura Masa + Nao

Show me love (Remix) - Sam Feldt + Kimberly Anne

Drive - Halsey

Golden - Travie McCoy + Sia

What do you mean? - Justin Bieber

Those were some of the numerous songs that played in the background whilst we swaying to the music. No matter how upbeat the song was, we just swayed. It was perfect. Nothing could ruin this moment, right here, right now.

...

The notes from my admirer haven't stopped. I opened my locker this morning and one fell out which was surprising. I never expected to get one and now to have two, it's hard to wrap my mind around that.

The notes make my morning just that little bit brighter so on my way to period 1 class I couldn't be in a better mood.

I'm almost skipping down the hallway, that's how happy I am and that says a lot because I don't skip. Ever. I guess that just reflects my amazing mood.
