~Joey's POV~

The police finally arrive, set us free, and they take Sawyer, and everyone involved in the kidnapping, in. I'm just glad I won't have to put up with his shit anymore, since it's almost the end of our senior year.

"Hey Joey?" Daniel taps my shoulder. I turn around to see Daniel holding a beautiful assortment of flowers. I gasp. "Would you like to go to the dance with me?"I nod my head happily and hug him, taking the flowers and smelling them. Daniel is truly the best boyfriend anyone could ever ask for.

I still feel really bad for make Danny go through all of this. He nearly got killed by Sawyer, but he managed to whack Sawyer out before Sawyer could do the same to him. He could have easily just left me there. He could have joined Sawyer's side again. He could have just assumed I was away. But no. He made SURE I was alive. He made SURE I wasn't away. He made SURE I made it out alive.

{Time Lapse to the next night, at the dance}

I straighten my tie. I hope I'm not too formal. I have a nice suit and tie on, which I think, and I hope, Daniel will love! Daniel decided he will pick me up around 6:00, since the dance starts at 7:00, and there might be traffic getting there. I fix my hair into a perfect swoop, and I brush my teeth. I take one last look in the mirror. Damn. I look good.

I shut the lights off in my bathroom and my bedroom, and I run down the stairs. "I'm leaving!" I yell. As usual, no one cares. I walk out the door and wait for my handsome prince to arrive.

After waiting for a couple minutes, he finally arrives. I smile and walk towards the car. He exits the car, smiling cutely. "Hey handsome" he smile and kisses me on the cheek. "Hey cutie" I reply, giving him a kiss.  He opens the door for me and I smile. "What a gentleman." I get into the car, feeling his lips giving my cheeks and head little pecks as I pass him.He closes the door and he hops into the drivers seat and starts heading to the school.

We finally arrived at the school, after spending the whole car ride talking about our favorite bands and getting to know each other more than we already did. He quickly exits to open the door for me, and I smile, exiting. "Shall we?" He asks, holding out his hand. "We shall." I reply, putting my hand on top of his, and we begin walking in.

Once we payed the fee to get in, we walk to the gymnasium, where there are a bunch a high school kids, all grades, dancing with friends or dates. They dressed the gym pretty nice for a shitty high school like ours.

We decide to get something to eat before we dance, so we can just party all night. We find a table and place our belongings there. "Stay here, darling. I'll get you some food." Daniel stops me. "Daniel, I don't want you doing everything for me tonight. I want to do something for you!" I say. "You already did something for me. You chose to be with me. Now, I must be your man servant!" He smiles and I let out a giggle. "Fine. But be quick, and don't expect me to not do something special for you later!" I smile and he salutes and walks off to get us some food. I smile to myself on what just happened and I wait patiently for Daniel to get back.

He finally gets back with some food and places it in front of me. "This looks delicious!" I smile. "I know right! I'm surprised that the food doesn't look poisoned for once." He giggles. I smile and we begin to eat.

We finally finish talking over the loud party music and eating our food. Suddenly, "Work Bitch" by Britney Spears comes on, and Daniel pounces up. "THIS IS MY JAM!" Daniel screams, and I smile. He grabs my hand and yanks me onto the dance floor as I am laughing uncontrollably because of how Britney trash he is. But he's cute Britney trash. He's my Britney trash.

After dancing to multiple up-beat songs, a slow dance song comes on. My first slow dance. I don't even know how to dance. Daniel look me at me and I look at him. He puts his hand out, smiling, and I grab it. "Warning you, I have no idea how to dance." I say as he pulls my body close to his. "Don't worry , I'll teach you." He smiles. "Follow my feet pattern." He says, and he slowly starts side stepping, kind of in a circular motion. I follow and I catch on quick. "You're already a pro" he smiles and I smile back at him. We slowly dance, and it feels like the whole world suddenly stopped spinning or time froze, and the only survivors were me and Daniel. We stare into each other's eyes, and he does that cute little smirk he always does, and damn, it gets me every time. His beautiful greenish-brownish eyes lock with mine. "I'm so glad you're mine." I say, leaning my head against his, as he continue to slow dance.
