Days go past, and haven't seen Alex at all.
The less people saw her, the less people talked about her.
Some people even hated me.
I guess they thought I did something to her.
I mean I did.

I hurt her.
It wasn't supposed to be like that.
My mother told me to go back with Anne, and I did as I was told.

"Bro, you alright?", Sean asked walking into my dressing room as I was getting ready for Anne's birthday party.

"Yeah", I lied.
"You sure?", He asked.

"I don't know. Man. Isn't werid how she hasn't been to school in a week.", I said.

"Are you still stuck on that Alexandra girl. Bro, seriously you need to get over her, your dating Anne remember?", He said.

Why does he sound so much like my mother.
He doesn't understand.
No one does.
The way she makes me feel.

"You don't get it. Sean. She makes me feel like I don't have to be who I am, to make her happy. She makes me happy, she makes me see life a different way.", I said.

"And Anne doesn't do that?", He asked.
"No. She has never made me feel that way", I said.
"Then why you even with her, man?", He asked.

"I don't know. My mother, she wants me to be with Anne", I said.

"And you?", He asked.
"I just wanna be with Alexandra", I said.
"You can't break up with Anne again. Most certainly not in front the entire school, at her birthday party", I said.

"I don't care", I said.
"Your insane bro.", He said.

I sighed walking in front of the large house that belonged to Anne. "You okay?", A voice asked me.

I turned to see Sophie.
"I don't think I should even be here. I mean it's literally her birthday", I said.

"Screw the bitch.", She said.
"Your going to go in there and make William see what he's messing out on", she said linking her arm into mine as we walked into the large house.

We we're led to a large ball gown room with tables set, and decoration of Anne's birthday everywhere.

"Good Even, Oakham. Welcome to Anne's Birthday. I would like to say, Give it up for the birthday girl herself, my best friend, Anne Lockhart!",  one of Anne's friends say.

I rolled my eyes, clapping along with everyone, as Anne walked up on the stage.

"Oh, my God. Thank you so much for coming to my birthday party. Now let's get to amazing part, I would like to introduce my boyfriend, William Henry!", She said as William got out on stage, I went to get up, but Sophie held my hand, I slowly sat back down sighing.

"Come on, babe", she said.
As William took the microphone and began to speak.

"How would I describe Anne Lockhart?", He asked.
"smoking hot!", A voice shout in the crowd making the audience clap, and whistle.

Anne, her bitch ass just enjoyed the attention.
I rolled my eyes.

"I would describe her a psychotic bitch", Will said making the audience gasped, I almost choked on my spit.

"Will?", Anne asked.

"It's actually funny because I still don't know what I saw in you in the first place", he said.
My mouth dropped open, people began pulling out their phones.

"Anne isn't a good person at all. She's a bully. With insecurities of a five-year-old. She's a selfish ass bitch and she doesn't care about anyone but herself.", He continued.

Anne then stormed off the stage, crying.

"I'm not here tonight to describe Anne as a person, I'm here tonight to apologise, to Alexandra", he said as suddenly everyone turned towards me.

"What the hell is he doing?", I asked whispering to Sophie.
I breathed heavily.

"Alexandra, I am so sorry. I'm sorry I got you involved in my so complicated life. I'm sorry that I hurt you. I'm sorry that I didn't stand up for you when I chance. I'm sorry I listened to my mother who told me to date Anne, and not you.  I'm sorry that you still get dirty looks walking down a hallway because of me. I'm sorry my mother doesn't like you. I'm sorry that only a few out of a thousand students approve of you. But I'm not sorry for falling for you", he said.

I froze.
Did he just.

"Did he just?", Kat asked.
"He so did", Amber said.

"There I said it. Just for everyone who didn't know. I am falling for the new girl, who isn't rich. Who isn't perfect, who isn't white", he said directing that part of the speech towards his mother who sat in the audience, speechless and baffled.

"Please forgive me", he said as he slowly got off the stage, walking towards me.

Time to go.
I quickly stood up, about to walk out the door, when he grabbed my arm, pulling me towards him, and kissing me.

There in front of, what felt like millions of eyes, and camera phones.
I pushed him away.
Leaving him confused.
I was fucking confused myself.

I looked around noticing everyone staring at us, I turned around going at the door.
"Alex, wait", he said following me out the door.

I walked out of the building trying to catch my breath.
"Alex", he said.
I turned around looking at him.

"W-why would you do that?", I asked.
He didn't speak.
"D-do you not know how many were there. Your mother. She's goin- he cut me off, "who the hell cares", he said.

"What?", I asked.
"I want to be with you, Alex. And if that speech wasn't enough to tell you, then I don't know what will", he said.

I stood in silence.
"Say something. Please", he said.
