Used to be the one
to hold you when you fall...

I don't f*ck with your tone...
I don't want to go home...
Can be one night
Can you?
Can you?

Y/n POV

Why today?
Today was a day before the spring prom. It's weird. All my friends have
a date, all except me. We all went to buy our dresses, which got me kinda awkward. The prom's topic was like a ball. We had to wear a mask and puffy dresses. We aren't the type to wear it. We feel like a big fudging marshmallow. I found a blue dress that was so beautiful. (Please imagine it. Something weird is going on...)



I tried it on and showed it to my friends. They were in shock.
"Omg. You look so beautiful."
"So perfect."
"Dang girl."
I blushed.

Noah's POV

Why am I doing this?
My friends and I went to buy a tux for our prom.
They all had a date, except me.
I looked around until I found a beautiful girl.
She had h/c hair, e/c eyes, and the greatest smile.
Wait...
That's Y/N!
I always had a crush on her.
My friends would tell me she had one on me also, but i would never believe them.
She looked beautiful, she had a blue dress on and was smiling like an angel. Her friends saw me staring at her. I turned around and ran to my friends. Oh, brother.

Y/n POV

I was hearing Billie Eilish and didn't hear my friends screaming like maniacs. They yanked my headphones/earphones out of my ears. "Hey, what are you doing! I was using that you know!"
They kept on talking at once and i didn't understand a single little word.
"One at a damn time!"
Get the reference?
"Ok, you know your little boyfriend, Noah?" my best friend said.
I felt myself blush.
"He isn't my boyfriend (even though i wish, i whispered) but what about him?"
"He was staring at you and kept on drooling, we're telling you, y/n he does like you! He had hearts in his eyes!"
I rolled my eyes and went back to change into my regular clothes.
When I went back I payed for the dress and looked for my friends.
Worst thing yet, i saw my friends with their dates and NOAH.
I didn't pay attention, but saw my friends wave their hands in front of my face. I shook my head and realize
I was staring at him.
I felt a tint of blush in my cheeks.
I left my friends there and went to look for a mask for the dance.
I looked around and found the perfect one.

I tried it on and it looked perfectly.
I payed for it and left the store.
Even though my friends were still in there with their "dates", i was hungry.
I went to Aunty Anne's and got me a pretzel. Mama loves her pretzel.
Sorry if you don't like them
You could change it.
I got a text from my friends Saying they were going to roam around with the guys. Well great.
I went into one of my favorite stores and could believe what/who i saw.

I'm KIDDING...

I saw noah looking around and smiling. He turned around and saw me. He smiled and walked over to me.
Oh, brother. Help me God!!!

Noah's POV

WHAT AM I DOING.
LEGS STOP MOVING.
I cant believe what I'm doing.
My body is betraying me.
I finally realized I was in front of y/n.
I bet I look like a huge idiot. Can someone help me?!?!
"Hi. So You're going to the prom to huh?" She said.
"Y-yeah."
"Well who are you going with?"
"No-One. You?"
"No one either." I was shock.
Who wouldn't want to go with someone so beautiful, funny, and smart? "What not even! Someone would have asked you."
She shook her head. "I'm not surprised. But what I am surprised is no one asked you."
"Well, many have asked me, but i declined. I didn't want to go with them. Even if they were so popular or "really perfect" as many say. I just wanted to go with one person I always thought of."

Y/n POV

One person i always thought of.
My heart broke a little.
"Well, who would that be?"
"You."
I turned around to see if anyone was in the back of me.
He grabbed my shoulders and starred directly into my eyes.
"You. You, Y/N Y/L/N. I want to go with you." I felt myself blush.
"Wow um, yeah me too."
He pecked me in the cheek and left.
Omg OH MY GOD!
AH AAAAHHH!!!!
I felt butterfliesin my stomach flying, hitting each other.

Time skip... AT HOME... Next day...

You can do this.
I stare at myself. I came quickly from school and took a quick shower.
I curled/straighten/(whatever you want) my hair. Perfect.
I didn't put make-up.
I look perfect without it.

Time skip...
AT SCHOOL!!

I saw my friends dancing with their dates. I looked around for Noah.
Where is he?

While at Noah's House...

"Ow! CHLOE!
It hurts!" Noah screamed.
"Shut up you cry baby." Chloe yelled back. "We better hurry. Y/n is waiting for you and so is my date."
Noah blushed and she noticed.
"Aww is Noah ready to see her?" Chloe teased him.
"Hey, who's your date?" He shot back.
She glarred at him.
"Hurry up."

Back at school ...

One of a slow dances came on.

I don't wanna friend...
I want my life in two...

I saw a handsome boy with a blue mask walk towards me.

Waiting to get there...
Waiting for you...

He took his hand out for me to take.
I saw who it was. I smiled and took it.
He led me to the dance floor.

When I'm around slow dancing in the dark...
Don't follow me you'll end up in my arms...

I starred into his eyes.
Wishing to take off his mask. I didn't.

You done made up your mind...
I don't need no more signs...
Can you? Can You?

Give me reasons we should be complete...
You should be with him i can't compete...
You look at me lik e I was someone else..
Oh well...
Cant you see?
I don't wanna slow dance...
In the dark...
Dark...

When you gotta run...
Just hear my voice in you...
My voice in you...
Shutting me out of you...
Doing so great...
You...

Used to be the one (used to be the one)
To hold you when you fall
Yeah, yeah, yeah (when you fall, when you fall)
I don't fuck with your tone (I don't fuck with your tone)
I don't wanna go home (I don't wanna go home)
Can it be one night?
Can you?
Can you?

He took my mask off.
So did i to him. Noah...
"You took long to get ready."
"Yeah. So I can be perfect for you."
"You don't need to be perfect. You ARE PERFECT."

Give me reasons we should be complete
You should be with him, I can't compete
You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well
Can't you see?

He leaned closer to my ear and said,
"I always wanted this to happen."
"Oh yeah, wait for a big surprise."

I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance)
In the dark
Dark
In the dark
Dark

I kissed him. He kissed back with more passion.
"Now that's a big surprise.
I love you."
"I love you too."

Never we'll be alone.

Hope you liked it.
I'm sorry I took long.
And thank you for those who supported me.
This is my gift to you.
My mind is still out of shape, but im
hoping for the best.
