Patrick Stump Imagines

59 - Shut Up and Dance

He wondered what the commotion is as people started to gather around the dance floor.

"Do you think she is around?" He asked his best friend, Pete, whom he begged to drag along the party so he wouldn't feel alone or isolated.

"I think so, but I haven't seen her." His best friend replied. "Patrick, I told you countless times, you'll be okay."

"Thanks Pete." He said softly as the speakers started to pump the intro of an upbeat song.

As Patrick saw her, he felt his world stop from revolving on its own axis. He watched her as she danced, following the beat of the music. He saw how happy she was, since dancing is her passion.

But aside from how happy she was, there is another thing that broke his heart. It broke him whenever the song says "...this woman is my destiny." and a guy would point at her and make heart figures on his chest.

He must be a co-dancer. He thought.

But the wind blew the other direction.

Before the song completely ended, this guy took the woman--who used to be the love of Patrick's life--and showed him what he prepared together with their close friends.

In every card board that their dancers/friends held, are letters:

W-I-L-L Y-O-U M-A-R-R-Y M-E ?

It pained him when he remembered that he couldn't make her happy; he was always in tour, leaving her behind. They barely had time for each other and that's when they decided to have it called quits.

The shrieks of the crowd made him flinch, as they heard her say yes. He saw how they kissed each other and it didn't just break him.

It destroyed him.
