The ball room had glistening chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, with thousands of candles lighting them up. Fairy lights draped off them and were connected to the cream walls at the sides. White round tables dotted around the place. Few occupied with couples laughing, drinking or just merrily chatting.
I was soon greeted by hundreds of people. Phoenix sensed my discomfort and politely excused us dragging me to a quieter part of the room. 
"Have you ever tried punch?" His eyebrows pulled together in an silly frown and he looked at me confused. I just rolled my eyes and grabbed his arm dragging him towards the massive banquet tables. I grabbed two small glasses and filled them with the bright red liquid. Shoving one is his hand I raised my glass in a joking way and we almost fell over laughing as we downed the sweet liquid. Putting the glasses down on a table I turned to see him with his arm outstretched towards me. He smirked cheekily.
"Care to dance?" I smiled and bowed back we were like small kids playing prince and princess.

We walked in to the middle of the dance floor as wild horses started to play. Phoenix slipped his arm around my waist as I draped mine over his shoulders. We stood there close to each other swaying to the slow beat of the song. I was having a great time, forgetting any worries I had and for the first time in years the problem that faced the outside world left my mind. 

Soon I felt eyes glaring into the back of my neck. I turned to find Lockwood and Holly right behind us. Holly gave me an evil smirk before whispering into Lockwood's ear. Then as I was about to look away, she grabbed Lockwood's face in both hands and kissed him lustfully on the lips. My heart started beating loudly in my chest I was sure everyone could hear it. My throat became dry and I found it hard to breath as I realised one thing. He didn't pull away. Phoenix placed his hand on my back and directed me off the dance floor. Once out of their sight. He folded me into his arms. I leant into his chest and cried until my throat burned. He silently lead me to the banquet table and grabbed me a glass of water. We went through a set of glass doors into the back garden. As he sat down on the steps I collapsed down next to him.

"He doesn't know what he is missing Luce." I looked up at him startled at his sudden out burst. He looked at my face eyes full of determination. "As your best friend, it's my job to fix this." I smiled at his words, he was too good for me. 
"It's nothing just leave it, he wouldn't want me any way." I knew what I was saying the way he had just kissed Holly proved it. He shook his head and laughed. 
"She is messing with you." He stated it as if it was obvious. But then again it probably was. He carried on after waiting a second to watch my reaction. "She is trying to make you jealous, so you should make both of them jealous.
