Falling For My Teacher

27: trick or treat

"Ryan! Harry is here!" my mom yells from downstairs. Harry dropped me off a couple hours before the ball so I could get ready. The dress looked even better when everything was done. My hair was curled into ringlets. I held my mask with one hand, black glove on the other. Black shoes. Everything looked perfect.

I let out a deep breath. I remember Niall talking about this ball. When I would wake up in the apartment with him, he'd always mention the Halloween ball and how we'd finally be able to go together. I could feel his arms wrapped around me the way they used to.

But that will never happen again.

I shook the memory from my mind, heading for the door. It's my last day here. My last day with Harry. I might as well make it the best.

Despite the fact I saw.. I saw Niall isn't going to ruin my night. As much as I wanted to run after him, I didn't. I couldn't.

"Ryan will you please hur-" my mom stopped mid sentence, gasping at my sight. "You look.."

"Beautiful," Harry smiled. He met me at the end of the steps, taking my hand in his. He looked just as good. Suit and tie. Hair pushed back instead of swooped. His tie matching my dress. Dashing.

"Have fun sweetie," my mother said as I left the house.

Arriving at city hall, it was already pounding with music. I mean I've been to this three times. One every high school year, but this felt different. I had a date. Was it a date? I mean.. He held my hand today. Was it out of comfort? I don't even know.

"Ryan! Harry!" Spencer said with her mask glowing to the neon light. "Wow Ryan you look beautiful."

"So do you Spence," I smiled. Louis came along side, kissing her cheek softly. I knew it would eventually happen.

"May I have this dance?" Harry asked, offering his hand. I smiled, taking hold of his hand as he lead the way. I remember the first time I went to a party with Harry. It was weird going as 'just friends'. I guess that's how it is now too. But he now have history. And for some reason, I don't regret any of it. Nothing. I loved Niall. And I loved Harry. But we can't have both. I fell in love with Niall. I fell in love with the thought of being in love with Harry. I wanted the public attention from Harry. And I hate that I wanted that. I just wanted to show people that I could find someone to love even have Jalen. He hurt my in ways I could never imagined. And I did. I found two people actually. But I broke the heart of both. Cause I'm a stuck up bitch.

"You look absolutely beautiful tonight Ryan," Harry said under a whisper. I smiled, knowing he was still staring at me. "Ryan?"

I looked up to see his masked eyes. He looked so different like this. I was used to quiet, gentle Harry. This was classy, high in 'quality'. When I say that.. He just looks a lot more classy.

"I want you to know I care for you," he said, making me stop the swaying. "And.. I brought someone here, to show you.. I'm sorry." He stepped away, letting another step forward. My heart was racing. Behind the black trimmed mask was the blue eyes of the man I had fallen in love with nearly half a year ago. His blonde hair was gelled up into a quiff. Perfectly trimmed in a suit.

"May I have this dance?" He smiled, as I tried my best to comprehend what was happening.

"Go," he pushed, having Spencer by his side. Her smile was wider than the Grand Canyon.

I took the hand of the person in front of me.

"I missed you," I said, leaning my head against his chest.

"I'm never leaving again baby," Niall whispered. His lips kissed the top of my head slowly swaying to the music.

They say love doesn't wait for just anyone. I was lucky enough to find someone who does love me for me. Even after what I did. I'm happy to say Harry is still in my lift. Dating Reagan. I couldn't be more happy. Everything always ends up as a happily ever after.

But that's what we want. He don't want out story to end with a death or with a heart break. We want that sappy ending with the cute marriage. Too bad I'm too young for that.

"I love you Ryan," Niall said softly, taking his mask off slowly. I smiled as he took my off as well.

"I love you too Niall."
