It's Saturday, and there's only two hours until Andy picks me up to go to the school formal. I'm so nervous already.
I just got home from getting my hair done, I'm happy with the result. My hair is done in an elegant updo with my fringe bits out. Althought it's not much of a fringe, it's quite long.
Every two minutes I go into my wardrobe and admire my dress, I fell in love with it when I first saw it. It's of a peach pink colour and the bodice in a heart shape. The bodice from the top to my waist is completely sequined and then from the bottom down it's plain. It's really long, lucky enough I bought heels that are quite high. It's also strapless so I had to get the top properly fitted so it wouldn't fall.
The time goes fast, I only have half an hour left so I decide to do my make-up. I layer my ivory skin with foundation, I'm content that it gives my face the tiniest bit of colour. I apply a peach coloured eye shadow to my eyelids and then line my eyes with silver glitter eyeliner. I add my false lashes as I feel they're neccessary and I finish off my eyes by adding the tiniest silver rhinestone to each corner of my eye. I decide on clear lipstick as my eyes are busy enough as it is.
I sit in my room on the edge my bed with only minutes to spare. I hear the doorbell ring.
Andys P.O.V
I'm at her door, shaking with nervousness. I hear foot steps, I take a deep breath.
Her mum answers the door, as she sees me her face softens into the kindest of smiles.
"You're here to pick up Is, right?" she questions.
I nod my head and return her friendly smile.
"I'll go get her" she says as she walks up the stairs.
She's only been gone the fewest of seconds but I find myself becoming impatient. Just as I'm almost on edge, I see her. I immediately feel like the luckiest guy in the world. I can't keep my eyes away, they're like magnets to her beauty.
She slowly walks down the long stair case, her eyes remain on the ground. Almost as though she's insecure but you'd think that a person so beautiful would be so vain. I walk to the very bottom of the stair case waiting for her to meet me, our eyes meet once but her eyes trail down again.
As she meets me I go from seeing her perfectly made up eyelids to her big blue eyes as she finds the confidence to look up into mine. I'm lost for words, it's as though her eyes are a weakness of mine.
"You're so beautiful" I whisper in her ear gently.
She looks to the ground again with a smile on her face this time, I sense her nervousness. I'm feeling it too.
I place two fingers under her chin and gently raise her face to mine trying to beat her insecurities, she flickers her eyelids. I feel her fingertips trail down my arm but before holding my hand her eyes ask for permission, I lace my fingers through hers to inform her she doesn't need permission.
I don't dare seperate our hands on the walk to the car, but we break apart when I open the car door for her. She looks at me gratefully and I wink at her softly. She smiles and takes a seat and I shut the door.
We don't talk during the car ride but it's no where near awkward. As we pull up I emerge from the car and open her door once more. I immediately feel the need to be touching her in some way, I slowly guide my hand around her waist and use it to gently pull her close enough for me to softly kiss her cheek.
She lifts her hand and brushes it along the side of my face, our lips only a centremetre apart. I want to kiss her but it's not the right time of the night to. I take her hand again and lead her into the gym, where the dance is being held.
I immediately locate Shaun, Emma, Kate and a few other friends. I also see Beth, but she's dateless.
They all rush up to us, I'm glad to see Shaun and Emma as happy as they are. What begins with everyone complementing eachother turns to random talk. As I hear a song I know for a fact both Issy and I like so I drag her onto the dance floor.
She's far from quiet now, we have a good laugh at some of the other people dancing as they're not what you'd call 'great'. A slower song comes on and I gently plant my lips on her forehead before she wraps her arms around my neck and rests her head on my shoulder.
I feel more content then I've felt in an extremely long time. But as I glace over at Beth she doesn't look as happy, I decide to be the better person in this situation and go see if she's okay. I leave Issy to talk to Shaun and the gang.
"Date didn't show up huh?" I say as sympathetically as possible as I approach her.
She shakes her head before asking if we can talk outside for a second.
I notify Shaun and the others of where I'm going and proceed outside. I owe her this, I did dedicate six months to this girl.
As we walk to the back doors of the gym there's a sudden gust of cold.
"Andy, I'm really sorry about how it ended" she starts.
"It's okay" I answer feeling sorry. "It turned out okay for both of us"
"Not for me" she adds. "Dumping you was a mistake"
She walks closer to me, too close.
"Beth, I've moved on" I say, hoping she'll step back. She doesn't.
"Maybe I can change your mind" she says. I find myself immediately wonder what se meant by that phrase.
Her arms wrap around my neck with such force as she kisses me, I try to break away but her arms tighten.
The only thing that motivates me to break free is seeing Isabels face as she watches in horror. She no longer looks at us, but at the floor she retraces her steps back wards and back into the ball room. I push Beth away as hard as I can without hurting her and go after Issy.
The ball room's a mess, there's so many people. I am determined to find her though.
Shaun stops me. "What happened bro?" he asks.
"No time to explain, just help me find her" I order.
He does as he's told and searches the whole room with me, we even then ask Emma if she can look in the bathroom. No sign of her.
The only place we haven't checked is out the front, I walk as fast as I can through the loads of people and finally make it to the doors. As I walk out the dark is lit up by a car that pulls up. I see her, I recognise her mums car. I'm too late as she get's into the car and it drives away. I stand on the spot, speechless and furious.
