Bianca and Tom walked towards the dance floor as they joined the other kids who were happily dancing with each other, smiled across their faces as they enjoyed a night of freedom. Standing in front of her, Tom grabbed Bianca's hands in his as he began to bob his head to the beat of the song and began to sway side to side, "Come on, dance with me princess".
Bianca smiled at Tom as they both began to dance, from jumping up and down to doing some funny moves, they enjoyed each other's presence. The laughs that escaped from their mouths as they both danced their problems away, it was just him and her, two young people who were deeply inlove with each other, two people who wanted to be with each other than anything.
After a good hour of dancing the DJ decided it was time for a slow dance, "Let's take it slow for now, I want to see every couple on the dance floor". Tom stared at Bianca as he waited for her to drag them away from the dance floor and go sit down with Jake and Madison, but he was surprised when Bianca grabbed one of his hand and placed it on her waist as she grabbed the other and placed her hand on his shoulder.

A smile spread on his lips as he brought her closer to him, their chest touching each other as they swayed side to side to the rhythm of the music. He kept his eyes on hers as he let the emotion between them guide them around the dance floor, he stared at her with nothing but love and admiration in his eyes. Tom understand that what he did to her was something terribly wrong but the outcome of it was something he didn't plan.
He didn't plan to fall deeply in love with her, he didn't plan to fall in love with her laughs, her smiles, her voice, her everything. Tom wished that he could go back and time to stop himself from accepting the bet and would have tried a different way to reach to her, she was someone he grew up with, it would have been a more easier and not hurtful way in getting to know her. But he fucked up, he fucked up so bad the moment he accepted the bet because it was all a game to him and his so called friends that ended up going against him when he tried to stop it. Tom would have done everything to stop it and not hurt her but he knew it was too late and seeing the look in her eyes when she told him she knew about it completely destroyed him. It shattered his heart to see the girl who he fell inlove with walk away from him with tears and a broken look that he caused. That's why he had to make sure to make it up to her, to show that his feelings towards her were real and he would do anything to win her back. He would do anything for the girl he loved.
As Bianca and Tom dance the night away, she couldn't help herself but began to think of all the memories she created with him. From their first kiss, to him asking her out, to simply being in each other's arms. She knew that sooner or later Tom would have to know about her going away, but tonight all Bianca wanted was to enjoy being in Toms arms and remember the feeling of safety and happiness he brought to her.
Tom noticed how Bianca would keep dazing off, as if she was here but her mind was somewhere else, "Whats wrong Bianca? You've been dazing off all night, is everything okay?".
Bianca stared at Tom knowing that it was either now or she would never say anything, "I...can we talk outside please? There's to much noise here and I'm starting to feel claustrophobic". Tom gave her a nod as he grabbed her hand and began to lead her outside of school until they reached the parking lot.
Turning around to face Bianca, he noticed how she kept nervously playing with her hands and looked like she was about to start panicking at any moment, "Bianca? Everything okay?".
Bianca stood there nervously as she stared at Tom, trying to find the right words to say to him but nothing came to mind. She knew that there wasn't any 'easy' words to say to him that wouldn't hurt him, she had to say the truth, nothing else but the truth, "I'm leaving Tom".
Tom looked at Bianca with confusion, "Leaving? Bianca the dance just started, are you not feeling okay? Do you want me to drive you hom-"
"Tom no, that's not what I mean. I'm..." Bianca sighed as she stared at Tom, she couldn't bare with what was going to happen next but she had to do it, she can't keep it away from him anymore, "what I'm trying to tell you is that I'm leaving Tom, to New York when school is over".
Tom stood there as he tried to process what she just told him, "You're leaving? Why would you leave?..."
"I'm going to New York to study at Juilliard, Tom. Steven was able to get me a spot and I'll be studying there for a year-"
"Are you running away from me?" Tom interrupted her, Bianca shook her head as she looked at him with confusion, "Running away?...Tom no, why would you say that?".
"Are you leaving because of what happened with us and the bet? Bianca how many times do I have to say I'm sorry in order for you to understand that I truly meant it? I'm sorry, okay? I never meant to hurt you the way I did, I know it wasn't cool what I did but this doesn't mean you have to leave".
Bianca raised her hands as she tried to stop Tom from talking, "Tom don't you get it? This isn't about you or what happened between us, this is about me and being able to follow my dreams. You have to understand that going to Juilliard was a dream of mine since I was a little girl and now I'm given the opportunity, I can't just let it go". Bianca stared at Tom as she noticed how he just stood there glaring at her, "Please try to understand me Tom, I'm not running away okay? I'm doing this because of me and for me, this is a decision I took on my own and you have nothing to do with it. Can't you be happy for me, please?".
Tom shook his head as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, "So that's it? You just pack your bags and go off to New York and leave me?" he took a step forward towards her, "Do you even care about what I feel towards you?"
"This has nothing to do with our feelings towards each other Tom, this has to do with me and my future "
"That's the thing Bianca! I thought I was a part of your future, just the way you are a part to mine" Tom began to tear up as he reached for her hand, "Does our future even matter to you?".
Bianca stared at Tom with glossy eyes as her lip began to tremble, "Don't do this to me Tom, don't make it harder than it already is"
"I can't change your mind, can't I?" Bianca shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks. Tom simply gave her a nod as he let go of her hand and took a step back, "Fine, it's over then".
"W-what?"
Tom wiped his tears as he gave Bianca a shrug, "It's over. We're over. I don't even know if we were still a thing but I'm done. I can't do this Bianca, I've been trying to get your forgiveness, I know what I did was wrong but my feelings for you were always right".
Tom shook his head before he turned around and began to walk away.
