I stand there completely shocked. What have I done? I run towards the corner where I saw Zachary turn, holding up my dress a little.
I hear the song Pieces by Red playing in a room. I push open the door and hear sniffles coming from the bed.
'I'm here again A thousand miles away from you A broken mess...'
"Zachary?" I question in the darkness.
"Go away." He mumbles back.
'Just scattered pieces of who i am I tried so hard Thought i could do this on my own I've lost so much along the way...'
"Why are you crying?" I ask.
"I said leave me alone!" He screams at me.
"I-I'm sorry..." I whisper.
'Then i see your face I know im finally yours I find everything I thought i lost before...'
"Fuck you, Alexus." He screams at me, getting up off the bed. "how dare you? How dare you make me feel this way about you. For gods sake!"
"Zachary?" I whisper once again, the tears escaping my eyes.
'You call my name I come to you in pieces So you can make me whole...'
I walk over to touch his shoulder but he swats my hand away. I silently exit the room and leave him in the darkness. I close the door behind me and slide down on the floor with my back on the door.
'Ive come undone But you make sense of who i am Like puzzle pieces in your head
When i see your face I know im finally yours I find everything I thought i lost before You call my name I come to you in pieces So you can make me whole
I tried so hard! So hard! I tried so hard!
When i see your face I know im finally yours I find everything I thought i lost before You call my name I come to you in pieces So you can make me whole...'
I get up off of the floor and dry my tears before walking back to the dance floor. Suddenly Abigail rushes towards me and grabs my hand in hers.
"Alexus? What's wrong? Where were you?" She asks worriedly.
"I Uhm I got into a fight with Zachary." I say, my lip quivering slightly.
"Zach? About what?" She questions.
"See that's the funny thing. We were talking as if we were friends and then he snapped at me." I groan, tears somehow managing to fall from my eyes.
"At the end of the day, all you need is hope and strength. Hope that it will get better, and strength to hold on until it does." She smiles pulling me into a hug.
I hug back for a while until I notice Daniel serving people some drinks. "Hello there madam!" He exclaims kissing my cheek.
"Hey Daniel." I blush.
"Have you been crying?" He asks, wiping the stray tear from my cheek.
"I have. But it's fine now." I reassure him.
He bites his lip in thought for a second before nodding his head. He sets the tray on the table and grabs my hand, leading me to the dance floor.
"Now. Time for that dance I asked for." He smiles.
Suddenly The Night We Met by Lord Huron starts playing. I wonder who the DJ is. Whoever they are have good taste.
'I am not the only traveller who has noy repaid his debt I've been searching for a trail to follow again Take me back to the night we met...'
Daniel and I sway to the song and he keeps his hands on my hips, whilst mine are around his neck.
'And then i can tell myself What the hell I'm supposed to do And then i can tell myself Not to ride along with you...'
When Daniel and I dance it's smoother than it was with Zachary but it's not as thrilling. I'm not constantly having to worry if I'll fall and it's a comforting kind of peaceful but I'm craving more. I'm just not sure what.
'I had all and then most of you Some and now none of you Take me back to the night we met I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Oh, take me back to the night we met...'
As we danced I felt my mind drift back to Zachary. Why did he get so mad?
'When the night was full of terrors And your eyes were filled with tears When you had not touched me yet Oh, take me back to the night we met...'
I layer my head on Daniel's shoulder and closed my eyes. I continued to sway, whilst drowning out everyone and everything around me.
'I had all then most of you Some and now none of you Take me back to the night we met I dont know what im supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Take me back to the night we met...'
