Layla’s P.O.V

Fearing the worst, I caught his eyes, making sure he knew I was looking at him, I grabbed Adam’s glass of champagne and downed it, the alcohol burning its way down my throat. I stared at him back in the eyes as he jogged up to her table. I stood up and ran outside. “What are you doing?” he ran up to me, and pulled me by my elbow and I jerked away. “Why aren’t you with her?” I asked him, looking away sniffling. “Who? Elsa? Why am I supposed to be with her? You’re my girlfriend, not her,” he said, and brought me into a hug. This time I didn’t stop him. “I was just upset that you had to dance with Adam so I went out. I bumped into her and we talked. She didn’t know I was with you, so she tried to make a move on me, but I quickly stopped her and told her everything. She regretted it and she brought me back inside because you won Prom Queen and I should celebrate it with you, okay? That’s all happened. I promise,” he said and kissed me on the forehead. I let out a breath of relief and laid my head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around my waist. We just stood there embracing each other with the music inside fading. “Why was Adam sitting at our table?” he asked, still holding me. “He apologized for what he did the other day, and he meant it. He said I didn’t have to dance with him if I felt uncomfortable. He’s fine. Trust me,” I assured him and he just nodded. We sat on the edge of the fountain just holding hands.

Jeff’s P.O.V

Its all settled now. She felt insecure about the whole Elsa thing, exactly how I felt about the whole Adam thing. Great now, best friends Jeff and Layla are together, with four best friends; Akshay and his soon to be girlfriend Irene, Adam, the ex enemy, and Elsa, Jeff’s ex girlfriend. Things are finally falling in place and I wish they’d stay like this. Layla and I moved closer to each other. The wind was blowing from all the directions and her hair was just moving slightly. She was humming to the song playing inside the hall, and the water gushing behind in the fountain heightened the intimacy of the situation to a whole new level. With almost everyone around us making out with random people I didn’t see the reason why I shouldn’t kiss the girl I loved the most in the world. “Layla?” I brought her attention to me. Her brown eyes were darker and I could feel that she felt the same thing and without wasting any time, I carried her onto my lap and crashed my lips on hers. Her finger immediately hooked around my neck playing with the wisps on hair, and my hands found its way around her slender waist. I pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. Our tongues synchronized as we kissed. The taste of champagne lingered in her mouth. Out of breath we pulled away, our foreheads touching. Her eyes fluttered and it was like a pine tree on Christmas, bright and alive. “I love you so much,” I muttered and she just nodded a tear trickling down her cheek. I was content. Tears of joy is what she deserved. She deserved the best of everything in life. And I hope I am the best for her. “Don’t le-“ she didn’t let me finish what I had to say. She kissed me hard, and I could feel her smirking in the kiss and she pulled away. “No, I won’t leave you. Promise,” she said and held my hand. Could she read my mind? Probably. I rested my arms around her waist as we walked back inside.

“There you guys are! Too caught up making out?” Akshay asked us, winking. I just waved him off, and walked to Adam’s side. “Things will stay like this right?” I asked him, offering hand for a handshake. “Yes it will,” he said and pulled me into a bro hug. Elsa and Layla hugged each other, both of them in tears, breaking their past in pieces. The dance will be over in another half hour so Elsa called all five of us for photos. Ashley, from Elsa’s Biology class volunteered to be the camera person and clicked numerous pictures of all six of us.
