Simon's P.O.V.

We danced and danced and danced and for the first time in forever I didn't think of anyone else except my friends and I. It was like everyone else in the room wasn't even there. I finally felt at piece. Like I could be my own person.

Suddenly a slow song came on and everyone turned to their partner. At first I was worried, worried that Josh would want to. Until he grabbed me and pulled me in.

He wrapped his arms around my waist as I wrapped mine around his neck. We slowly swayed along with the song and everything was perfect.

I looked into his beautiful eyes, God does he have beautiful eyes. I remembered the first time he came into our school in middle school and god did he stand out from everyone else. He was all anyone would ever talk about. So many girls and even guys had humongous crushes on him, including myself. He was everything that I dreamed of.

Even though I would hear rumors saying that he just pulls one night stands and doesn't care about anyone but himself. That he was just like JJ and that group, but I thought different. I saw the other side of him, that no one sees. Everyone just takes for granted. The boy on the inside and out is the boy that I love.

"You know, I guess I didn't really think about this till now, but why me? Why am I lucky enough to have someone like you? So many girls, even guys would die to be with someone like you. The bad boy that is dastardly hot. You were always talked about and everyone just wanted to be with you. Even if it was a one night stand. So why am I not a one night stand? Why am I not just like everyone else?" I asked as he looked at me and smiled.

"Because you, just like Tobi, saw the side of me that everyone takes for granted. They see this whole entire bad boy look, but don't want to know the guy on the inside. I wear piercings because I think they look cool, I look like a bad boy because I like those types of things. Not because I want to throw people off, that just happened and then people just assumed I was a bad boy. I don't want one night stands, I want forever. I've never dated in my whole entire life, that's why I talked to you online. So that you wouldn't look at me and expect that from me." He said smiling.

"What made you forgive me?" I asked as he smiled even more.

"Because you didn't judge me right away when we became partners in science. You didn't question what a stoner or bad boy like me was doing in an advanced placement class. You accepted me and then I guess I realized that you lied to me because you were afraid that I wouldn't accept you. That is my biggest fear in life, and I realized how much a hypocrite I was. Then I realized that you mean more to me than just one lie means. I will always fight for you, I will always be there for you, I'll always hold you close, I will always love you. That's why I forgave you. Because I didn't want to lose you." He said as I felt a tear fall from my cheek.

He then caressed my cheek and then slowly put my head on his shoulder as we swayed back in forth.

"I love you Joshua."

"And I love you Simon."
