song: You - the 1975 (on repeat lawl)

______

Alice's POV:

I opened up a door.

I saw Joe on top of Karina.

He kissed her neck and she begged for more.

They were too caught up in there own business to not even notice that I had seen them.

I shut the door and ran into the bathroom.

My whole world fell apart.

I sat on the bathroom floor.

The cold tile caressed my legs causing small goosebumps to rise.

I was drowning.

Drowning in my sadness.

In my loneliness.

I couldn't help but feel so alone.

Not physically, but alone emotionally.

I sat there trying to comprehend it all.

I stared at a small square clean white tile.

How pure it was.

But then black droplets splashed and stained it.

They fell slowly and then all at once.

Contaminating it. Making it ugly and dirty.

Just like my childhood.

The small clean square was now smothered in my black tears.

I stood up and walked out of the bathroom

I went down the hall. Everything around me was blurry and in slow motion.

Teens laughing, smiling, dancing.

Couples making out.

Jocks being idiots and the rebels smoking.

Girls dancing and taking shots.

Lights flashing.

Its all too much. I start to see black dots, and soon my eyes close and I collapse.

I open my eyes to find I am laying on a bed. I run my fingers on the floral bedding. I bring myself up. There's a pounding in my head. I bring my hand and rub my forehead.

"You're up." I see the silhouette of a young boy in the corner. I jump in the surprise of not being alone. He switches on the lamp and the bulb illuminates his face.

"What the hell are you doing?" I ask.

"You fainted and I helped you here." Matthew said. "How long was I out?" "About fifteen minutes. "Well goodbye." I say getting out of bed. "That's it. Your not even gonna tell me why you were crying?" Matt follows me from behind.

I suddenly stop.

My heart broke. I turned around to face him. A tear escaped and I shook my head. I turned back around and ran outside onto front yard.

I fell on my knees. Matt knelt on the grass beside me. He said nothing. He just held me in his arms. He rubbed my back.

I told him about my feelings for Joe. I also told them that I found Karina and Him having sex. I told him his alone I felt. I told him how I felt about Joe and Karina doing this.

He said nothing and just listened. Which is exactly what I needed.

"Do you wanna dance?" He asked.

"What?" The question was so absurd. I was crying and venting to him and he wants to dance. I looked up at him.

"Do you wanna dance?" He held out his hand.

I understood what he was doing. He was trying to distract me.

Distract me from the world and its troubles.

I put my hand in his.

You can hear the music. The song playing was You by The 1975.

He places his hands on my waist. I wrap my arms around his neck. I place my cheek on his.

"I love this song." He says.

My eyes widen. "I do too." I whisper.

"Why?" I ask. "Why what?" "Why are you doing this after I have been such a bitch to you?" I say ashamed.

He chuckles. "You are not a bitch, and to be honest. I really don't know why."

"Oh." I reply. "I'm glad you did decide to help me." "I'll take that as a thank you," he smiles. "and your welcome."

I close my eyes and soak in the music. I let go of every thought, ever worry.

He took me home later that night.

Unsurprisingly Joe and Karina never called.

I didn't want to think about that right now, so I just got into bed and slept.
