A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't updated in forever but I should have more time, it was just mainly end of term stuff keeping me from writing before, ughh. Anyway if you have not already go check my new story with an awesome co-writer.(: Oh and credit to all_tobeone for writing the first paragraph(: I'm sorry this chapter is short, ilysm

After an hour or so I had realized what I had done. I felt so bad for what I had done to Spencer although I knew that deep down I really cared for Mikey more. Moments passed and I really couldn’t shake off what Mikey had told me earlier. That Vinny was in love with me ever since the moment I met him. The first time I heard those words I got nervous because I knew nothing would ever happen between me and him… or would it? I had to talk to Vinny alone and soon. "What’s wrong babe?" Mikey said, interrupting my thoughts. "Nothing, just thinking about Spencer." I lied. "Just runaway with me and we can leave everything behind." He implied. "you know we can’t do that Mikey." I said. He looked disappointed and said "ok." As he said that he tried leaning in for a kiss and I felt my stomach doing flips. i tried to resist because of Spencer but then our lips met and it felt like fireworks went off I felt happy again. I wished that this moment would never end.........

"Mikey?" I pulled from the kiss about to ask him a question.

"Ya babe?" He smiled and wrapped his arm around me.

"What were you-" I paused not able to go through with the question I really wanted to ask. " Can we get somemore hot chocolate?" I quickly thought even though I didn't want anymore.

"Ya sure." He said wrapping his fingers around my hot chocolate mug overlapping mine the sparks hit and I stumbled back dropping the thankfully empty mug. I panicked picking up the mug and with shaky hands handing it back to Mikey.

"Nevermind..... I'm not thirsty." I said quickly as an effort to explain what had just happened.

"Are you alright?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow in confusion. I took a deep breath but everything slipped as my eyes met his gorgeous brown ones. There was a part of me that still couldn't beleive that I was right next to him.

"Fine. you?" I faintly smiled and set my hot cocoa mug down.

"Fine as long as I'm with you." He smiled and rested his hand on my back. He was trying as hard as I was to forget my unmistakably nervous actions.

"Well I should really go get dressed so I hope you can be fine without me for a minute." I drug myself out of the car and suddenly realised how much snow was resting upon the ground. "God that's cold." I laughed and tried to find my foot in the midst of at least 16 inches of snow.

"No duh." He retorted and snaked his arms around me from behind, picking me up off the ground. The tension eased as I felt his arms hugging me to his body. It was relaxing just being held by him. His arms were enough to lift the world's biggest burden off my chest, that was all it took, him.

"Put me down." I said between laughs, but at least I couldn't complain about the cold on the feet. I still had yet to get this whole winter thing into my head.

"Okay, whatever you say" He laughed pulling us both to the ground.

"You jerk." I smiled and rolled onto my back as the snowflakes fell in my face. "Now thanks to you I'm going to get hypothermia."

"Oh please." He giggled and rolled so he was on all four leaning over me.

"Oh please" I said mocking him. He just cocked an eybrow and winked.

"Did I ever tell you how much I miss you?" He smiled and I sat up pushing him away from me. "I miss this, I miss late cool summer nights spend with only you just talking, I miss calling you mine and wish we could just stay in this moment forever."

"I miss this too." I mumbled as I stood up, brushing the snow off my frozen body. "See ya." I said taking off towards my house.

"When?" He questioned as I walked away.

"You tell me." I smiled and took a step as the snow filled into my shoes. The only way to avoid snow in my boots was to leap all the way to the porch, so I did. One leap, one twirl, and a skip.

The warmth of Ashton's house cascaded in a moment of peace. "Hey." My mom smiled when I shut the front door. "How was your night?"

"Fun." I smiled and walked to my temporary room to unpack.

"Who brought you home?" She asked getting snoopy.

"Nicolette." I lied letting anything slip from my mouth. I rushed up the rest of the stairs before she could get any other questions in.

"Kalen. stop." She said assertively. I flipped around and saw how mad she was. "I know that you were out with Mikey all night."

"Okay fine I was." I said sitting down on the top stair.

"Kalen, I don't want you to see him any longer. He's slowly picking you apart peice by peice. Think of how happy you were with Spencer, and now you are just setting yourself up for unhappiness. That's why when I'm saying this it's because I don't want you to get hurt" She paused and a tear fell down my cheek."I want you to stop seeing Mikey. It's unhealthy."

I opened my mouth to argue but I couldn't. No words escaped from my mouth as I tried to convince her. I ran to my room and let it out.

"What are you seriously doing? You are being stupid, you know what is going to happen."

I heard Vinny's voice echo inside my head. I knew it wouldn't happen, it couldn't. Mikey and I loved each other.

"I don't want you to get hurt." Vinny's hurt filled eyes looked into my soul as I thought about last night.

"Mikey wouldn't hurt me, he couldn't." I convinced myself and took off.

I just didn't know anymore. What was meant to happen? It felt so wrong but so right being with Mikey, but it felt right being with Spencer.

My fingers hesitated to turn the key when I had finally made it to ICON. I walked down the hall and onto the floor where I dropped everything and One of my favorite songs by civil wars started playing, Dance me to the end of love.

Then I let my heart free and danced away all my passion and feelings letting happy thoughts of peace and resilence fill my mind. My leaps carried me until a familiar memory took over my thoughts. I saw Tyler dancing at one of his auditions. He was killing it, every movement as graceful as the last. It brought tears to my eyes as I had no choice but to sit down on the floor. Every step looked so effortless and yet seemed to be perfect and I couldn't help but think what would have happened if he were still here. He would know exactly what I should do in this situation. I would go to him and cry telling him my story and he'd laugh saying everything would be alright, but it won't be. It will never be right, no matter what. There is no way out, I'm trapped in a cage that I can't escape.

"Kalen?" He asked walking down the hall. Mikey appeared from the hallway and a smile spread quickly across his face but faded more quickly once he saw my tears.

"How'd you find me?" I chuckled and forced myself up from the cold floor.

"It wasn't hard really." He smirked and wrapped his arms around my waist then up my back. I felt weak and put my head on his shoulder to cry.

"Mikey, it's so hard." I cried and let myself fall to the floor. "Can we run away. Away from all this."

"Well first you have to tell me what's up." He laughed and lay down next to me on the floor.

"My mom wants me to stop seeing you, and Vinny agrees."

"I love you Kalen, I just want you to know that. I will literally do anything for you."

"Dance with me." I smiled and restarted dance me to the end of love.
