I Let Her Go...

Chapter 5

Sam was going through a tough time and I know I said I would go with Matty. What should I do, be a good friend or be selfish for once? Honestly, I don't know what to do anymore! I had to choose and I can't break just one heart nor both hearts. Maybe I should go alone, so no hearts get hurt!

The prom was just a day away and I said nothing to either one of them. I did the only thing I would do if I don't want to handle things; simply ignore it. The thing is, I can't ignore them forever. I tried to go to my special spot to think and be alone, but that was impossible due to the fact I was in the prom committee. It took some hard work and weeks to pull off a good looking prom. White Christmas lights with tall tables and chairs, light blue table cloth, candles and flowers at every table. I guess this could be some fantasies for some girls.

Once I left the double doors, I had a phone call from Matty, then I see Sam "supposedly" running by! I ignore the call from Matty but pretended it was important so Sam won't stop and talk.

I went home as soon as possible and got my dress and stuff ready for tomorrow. It was very important... if this thing fails, I won't get any hours. I went to sleep right away ignoring the fact that I needed to tell both that I wasn't going with either one of them. Tossed and turned, and I can't sleep. I got up and headed to the kitchen to get warm milk. My sister heard me and came outside! I asked for her advice and she told me "follow your heart, it'll lead you to your success" I thought to myself on what that was supposed to mean. At least that small advice helped me sleep.

The next day when I came out of my house, I saw Matty and I walked up to him and said that I couldn't go with him to prom. He looked devastated and walked away. I went into the car and went to the prom. On my way there, I called Sam saying I couldn't go with him. He also sounded devastated.It's better if they sound devastated and mad at me instead of finding out that I said yes to both of them at prom.

I had 5 hours until the prom started, so I made my last touches and left. I met up with my friends at the hair salon an hour later and went home to get ready after.

*show time*

Time to do this thing and get it done. I walked around the whole night making sure that everything was in the right place. Then I saw Sam and Matty sitting alone at there tables with their friends with their dates. I felt that guilt hitting me. I went to Sam first and cheered him up. I made him talk to an old friend that I knew that he would fall for! After that, I went to Matty.

Our conversation:
Alison: hey Matty, may I!!
Matty: are you sure or you're scared that Sam might see us?
Alison: you knew?
Matty: I ran into him the other day... And you know what he told me, that you turned him down. Then just yesterday you turned me down hoping I won't find out!
Alison: I...
Matty: navy biscuits, how could you do that to me? You left me looking like a little pathetic puppy who had a date then shows up with no date!
Alison: I know and I'm sorr...
Matty: save it...
(He walks away)
Alison: Matty??

I thought that no hearts were going to be broken tonight, but instead, two hearts were broken.

Matty's p.o.v
That was the hardest thing I ever did. I left her finally looking like the pathetic puppy. I walked out of the prom looking like the angriest boy that ever lived! Robin came after me and started to talk.
Our conversation:
Robin: hey...hey what's wrong buddy?
Matty: can you believe Alison?
Robin: she did it for the right reason!
Matty: I know... Wait what, you knew?
Robin: of course, we always talk, haven't you notice?
Matty: lately, I haven't noticed anything for the past week!
Robin: no kidding
Matty: so... Why did she say yes to me, or why did she say yes to Sam?
Robin: well, she felt bad for him, I mean his girlfriend cheated on him and she was there for him! She didn't want him to feel more hurt than he already was!
Matty: but she could of told me
Robin: she didn't want to ruin things with you, she knew that the prom meant a whole lot to you
Matty: she's a great girl
Robin: she special that one
Matty: man... I acted like a total jerk
Robin: welcome back to earth ding dong!
Matty: I should go talk to her!
Robin: yes you should!

After that talk with robin, I ran straight in looking for her. I looked everywhere but no sign of her anywhere. I was scared to ask her friends where she was, cause she probably told them, but I went and asked anyways! As I approached them defenseless, I asked them where they've seen her and no luck. Right when I was about to give up, I saw her black and white fluffy dress behind the curtains. I went back stage and saw her crying and cleaning. It was adorable how she's stress and does her stress cleaning! I went up to her and started to talk.

Our conversation:
Matty: need any help!
Alison:(sniffles) what are you doing here?
Matty: apologizing!
Alison: okay?
Matty: I'm sorry that I snapped at you, I was really upset that you didn't tell me!
Alison: I didn't want to ruin your night!
Matty: I know that now
Alison: how?
Matty: who do you think?
Alison: Roobbin
Matty: I'm still sorry, will you forgive me!
Alison: I forgive you!

*Slow song play*

Matty: may I have this dance?
Alison: yes you may!

We both danced and laughed. Could this night get any better? I looked down at her and saw how the light beamed down at her eyes letting them sparkle. We had a moment and I think it just got better! We ended the night, with me walking her home! We said our goodbyes and then.... She kissed me on the cheek! "Score" I yelled out and as I turned to see her reaction, she giggled and said that I was a total dork. I guess prom night could be the biggest moments that I would treasure forever!
