One Last Dance

Prom Night

A/N: I recommend you listen to the song "One Last Dance" by R5 while listening to this, because it goes with the song somewhat, but you don't have to.

It was senior prom. I sat alone. Crying. My hazel-ish brown eyes creating waterfalls that stream down my face. I had my eyes locked on my ex. My friend since freshman year. His name is Colby Lopez. Most call him Seth. Why? I have no idea. We broke up just the other day. He was supposed to be my date for tonight, but went with another girl. I was hurt. After tonight Colby is leaving to go to the WWE. I turned around to take a sip of my semi-cold water in a tampered with glass. My feelings took over me real quick. I couldn't properly swallow my water without my throat closing and voice becoming numb. I gave up. The loud music beating in the dance hall is giving me the biggest headache ever.  I threw the already cracked water glass to the ground causing it to shatter. No one noticed. Everyone was too sidetracked with their loves. My head fell to the table. I couldn't contain it anymore. I whined loudly and the blasting music masked it. As the minutes went by, there was a few slow songs that played, but there was no one to dance with. No one specifically for me. After a song finished I felt someone come up behind me. It was Colby. I just know it. He has that "sweet as fuck but cocky if you screw him over presence". I couldn't turn around. I'm a mess.
"Hey, Jaz, can we talk?" He planted his hand on my shoulder while his voice cracked a little.
I quickly turned around, and my eyes immediately locked in with his. I saw the guilt in his eyes when he saw me like this. There was an odd break in the music. Everyone ran to get food when they had the chance, but me and Colby.
"W-Why are y-you here?" I cried out.
"I'm sorry. I'm leaving tomorrow and I miss you.... I know you don't trust me but.... can we at least have one last dance? I made the DJ hold up the final song for me and you. I picked it out too. It's our song," he started tearing up. I can see the regret. I nodded my head and headed out to the dance floor for the first time since the beginning of the dance which was a few hours ago.
"What's the song?" I questioned, wiping the tears away.
"Remember? 'One Last Dance' by R5. That's our song."
My heart sunk. That song always gets me emotional. I've always listened to the lyrics carefully. It fits me perfectly. How can he remember after all this time?
He pulled me closer and the song started playing. Oh god, I'm not ready. I cried enough.
"Listen to the song. It's my message to you", he planted a small kiss on my forehead causing me to blush a bit.
I knew it. I just knew it.
I ignored the fact that he wanted me to listen to the song and I just enjoyed my last moments with him. I felt so safe in his arms. Him being tall made me feel really special. He was like the sun to a warm day. Lighting up everything and making everything beautiful. He made me smile. He's my only reason.
Near the end of the song I forgot one thing. Prom King and Queen. How could I forget about that? If Colby gets Prom King, I'm Prom Queen. No doubts about that. Everyone loves me and him together.
I noticed our feet moving in rhythm. My head against his chest. I could hear his heartbeat. It's probably the most beautiful sound ever.
"Na na na na oh-oh
Na na na na oh-oh"
God, for some reason this part makes me tear up. Colby held my head up. Teary eyes on teary eyes. We both leaned in and out lips crashed. His soft lips on mine. I miss this so much.
The moment our lips separated, my head laid against his chest again and I started crying hard. For multiple reasons. The song just ended, and the love of my life is going to be gone in less than 24 hours.
The DJ cut the music and grabbed the microphone, "now it's time to crown this year's Senior Prom King and Queen! It was a close one but, this year's prom King is..... Colby!!!!" he smirked at me before heading up to the stage. The roars of the crowd kept going for at least 25 seconds. They all knew who was next. "Ok, now your prom queen..... Jazmine!" Oh. My. God. I felt this coming but it still hit me. I was left speechless. I went up and got hi-fives all the way up.
I stood by him and our fingers intertwined. We were holding hands. Holy shit. Everyone started leaving because we usually don't do a final dance after the king and queen get crowned. It's weird. I immediately looked at him.
"Do you want to be my girlfriend again?" he silently asked.
"Oh my god yes! But how will this work, you're leaving tomorrow."
"You can come with me. I already talked to my boss about it."
I hugged him so tightly.
"I love you Colby"
"I love you too."
