It had been a few weeks.
Liza didn't sit with us anymore.
Rylie still followed me around, but I needed the attention.
I miss her.
Derick was having a party this weekend, for Halloween. Sam was still really close to Liza, some days she would sit with her over at the dance team's table.
Thats where Liza was everyday now.
People said awful things about her, and how she 'slept around'.
It hurt.. because I wanted her so badly.
"David you coming to the party tomorrow?"
Derick sat down beside me.
Sam was with Liza.
"Yeah man."
"Liza's gonna be there," he whispered.
I nodded.
"You two belong together. The way you went after her that da-"
"I get it," I said raising my voice a little.
"Sorry dude.."
"Its fine.."
I put my head down on the table.
I wish it would all just go away.
————————————————————————
Friday turned into Saturday and I found myself already buzzed when I got to the party.
Girls were dressed all slutty and the boys just tripped over them.
The room was filled with devils, angels, and playboy bunnies.
"You think hooking up with someone might help you out bud?"
Alex placed his hand on my shoulder.
"What's the point? It's not anything real."
"Then find something real."
"I tried! And I hurt her!"
I took another sip of my beer.
"She isn't here yet."
"Well nah shit Sherlock."
He rolled his eyes. "Drop the douchey attitude man. Ever since she left, all you do is mope around."
I slammed my hands on the table.
"Well what the fuck am I supposed to do?!"
He took a step back, stifled.
"You need to g-," he looked up and his eye widened.
"Holy. Shit."
"Whats wrong with you?"
"L-Liza," he said pointing a finger to the back of me.
I turned around and my jaw dropped.
"F-Fuck."
I couldn't speak. She took my words from me.
She had fishnet boots that went up to her thighs and her black outfit clung to her body so perfectly.
Just looking at her made me sweat.
"S-She so..."
"Hot!"
"Alex!" I turned back around and hit his chest.
"Sorry man. But look at her!"
I faced Liza again, and the whole room was staring at her. A few people would look back at me, and then back to her.
She was unexpectedly making her way towards me.
It felt like hours before she was standing in front of me.
"H-Hi," I stuttered.
She smiled. God, how I missed it. That beautiful smile everyday before and after school. Being able to wrap my arms around her waist while we sat on her bed and watched movies.
"Hi David."
Her voice was soft, it sent shivers down my spine.
I looked about her face, her eyes weren't distant anymore.
Every time I would try to talk to her after that day, she would look away from me, and she was short with me.
But now, she was making eye contact with me.
For the first time in a month, she and I were together.
Face to Face.
Heart to Heart.
Slowly, this girl was becoming my world.
"Liza I'm so sor-"
My words were cut off by her hand grabbing mine and pulling me into a crowd of people.
She stopped and wrapped her hands around my neck.
"Liza.. what are you doing?"
"Dancing with you."
I smiled and pulled her in by her waist.
I didn't know the reason she had suddenly changed, but I didn't care at all.
She was here with me.
And I was in absolute love with the the feeling.
But I was mostly in absolute love with her.
