I hear a knock on the door.

I open the door to see Tom in his suit ready to go.

"Hey beautiful" he greets me
"Hey" I say
We awkwardly lean in for a hug.
Ever since we got back together something's been off.

This guy is so sweet and I feel really bad for cheating on him with his best friend but I really want to be with Jay. I don't want to hurt him again.

"Should we get going. We're going to be late" he says while looking at his phone.
"Yeah. Ok" I agree with him.

y/n's POV:
We get to our school gym, where the formal is and see fairy lights wrapped around the trees from outside.

The outside looks like this...

It looks really nice

It looks really nice. I'm surprised it looks this nice to be honest.

"Wow" f/n says
"I know right" I agree
"Do you want a drink?" I ask f/n
"Yes please" She says

I walk over to the punch and grab 2 cups. I glance back over at f/n to see she's talking to Caleb. I hope they get together. I've secretly shipped them for so long.

I look around the room and stop to see Tom and Lily. Ugh. I knew they would be here.

I ignore them and start walking towards f/n and Caleb and hope Tom and Lily don't see me. Well just my luck. That's not the case.

Tom and I make eye contact. He smiles at me. I smile back. Lily notices Tom staring at me and pulls his arm to take him somewhere.

Tom's POV:
Lily pulls my arm to take me outside.

"Tom. I cheated on you with Jay after the party" she confesses
"I know" I respond
"What? Who told you?" She asks
"Jay." I say
"Oh. I'm sorry" she apologises
"It's fine." I say while looking at y/n. She looks stunning tonight.

"Look. I know your in love with y/n." She says
I don't deny it. I just smile still looking at y/n.
"Yeah I know and I blew my chance with her" I say disappointed
"Go up to her and tell her how you feel" she says

"I've already tried." I say sounding defeated
"Plus I have to be with you" I say
"Tom. What we have, isn't love it's a friendship. You and y/n are meant to be" she says
"Your right. I'm going to go up to her. Thank you Lily" I say while giving her a hug and go back inside to tell y/n how I really feel. Again...

*hope you enjoyed! Sadly the next chapter is the last chapter*
