[Chapter 24]

(Flaire)

I wish the night won't end...

I wish it could be like this all the time...

I wish he's always here by my side...

Always together...

Forever...

For once in my life...this is the first time that I've felt so much happiness in me...in my heart.

Having him wrapped by my arms and me wrapped around his arms made me feel...happy and glad. I hugged him closer as tears started to flow down in my eyes.

"Flaire?" He called.

"Yes?" I answered.

"Are you alright?" He said as he was trying to face me, but I stayed still. I didn't want him to see me like this.

"Yes, yes I'm alright" I replied as I hugged him tighter.

As much as I didn't want to end the dance with Ethan. I didn't know what came over me and dragged him to the side table of the ballroom.

"W-What's wrong?" He asked a bit confused and worried. "Uhmmm...Want to eat?" I asked, not knowing what to do and what I should say.

"Ok" was the only thing he could say. On the way to the food table...

Ugh! Think Flaire, think! Why did I do that? What am I supposed to say?! I'm losing my mind! I couldn't breath, hard to breath. Heart...pls stop pounding for now. It makes harder to breath.

Instead of heading towards the food table, my feet took me to where the latest on my list that I should go in this event. Why the heck Did I come here?

(Ethan)

I couldn't help at feel that Flaire wasn't alright. I tried to make her face me but she only stayed firm. I was alarmed when she grabbed me and took me to the side table of the ballroom.

She said she was going to get foof, but darn I was right. She's not alright. I wanted to follow her but my body is frozen. I couldn't move.

The least I can do for now is...wait.

After a few minutes Nic and Clint cane over. "So, what happened?" Nic asked as he winked. I just gave him an annoyed look.

"Walk out" I said. "Oh...that's bad." I rolled my eyes and left them. To the looks of Nic...He finally did it.

I stood up and ignored both of them and walked to the garden.

(Flaire)

After a few moments of walking back and forth, cricling around the girl's bathroom. I finally got myself outside.

I walked towards the ballroom and my eyes wandered searching for Ethan. But instead of him, I saw Nic and Clint to the table where I last left Ethan. I walked towards them.

"Hey guys, have you seen Ethan?" I asked.

"Yeah, he left a while ago. You missed him" Nic answered.

"By any chance, Do you guys know where he's gone?"

"No" Clint answered. I nodded and gave them a lopsided smile. I left afterwards.

I searched the corridor, the music room and every room in this school searching for Ethan. After a while, tears run down my cheeks. Where the hell is he?

"Ethan!" I cried out in the rooftop of the school. I felt the night breeze on my cheeks and my whole body. Making me feel like I'm flying. Which made my tears flow down like a stream.

I was about to walk down the stairs when I heard someone calling my name. "Flaire!..." My head twisted back at the recognition of that voice.

Ethan...

To my excitement I called back. "Ethan! Where are you?!" I saw him beside the bench, in the garden, waving his both arms on the air.

My face gave him a wide and satisfying smile and as the feeling of happiness overwhelmed me, I didn't think twice about jumping off the rooftop to get to him easier.

I landed perfectly in front of him. I looked at him and his face was priceless! Bewildered at what I just did.

"Why the heck Did you do that?!" He yelled. I smiled at him and just gave him a hug. For a second, I felt him wrapping his arms around me.

Tears flowed down again. "Ethan..." I called. Instead of answering he scolded me good. "Where the heck did you go? I've been waiting for you there!" He stated as he let go of me.

"It's not my fault I got confused, nervous and ran away like a chicken. My feet took me in the bathroom! And I've been searching for you!" I answered back.

"Why did you go to the bathroom anyway? You said you were just gonna get us some food" He asked to me seriously. "Oh T-That was something that my feet did." I said. "I'm sorry for that anyway" I added.

"It's fine" He said.We both sat at the bench.  The tension of silence and awkwardness came over the air. Making me so uncomfortable. I broke the silence.

"Uhmmm...Ethan?" I called out. "Yes?" He asked as he looked at me with That smile.

Lub...Dub...Lub...Dub...

What am I feeling anyway? It's confusing.

I shook my head to take the thought of. "N-Nothing...Just...No, just forget it." I said while stammering.

"Ok then, I'll forget about it if..." He stood up and lend his hand to me. "We can have a take 2 in our dancing" He said between his grins. I chuckled and took his hand.

A shockwave passed through my veins as our palms intertwined. What's...this? I looked at our hands and to him. I gave him a smile and we walked to the ballroom, together.

This night...proved something that I cannot understand on my own. Was he growing in me? Do I...like him? No, that's impossible. But...The feeling I have right now?

Lub...Dub...Lub...Dub...

Is something that I haven't felt before in my entire life. An I couldn't take the thought off that I really like being with him.
