However, I should have known someone would spoil our perfect moment together. As we both began to deepen the kiss, we heard the door swing open and heard Kenney scream "AHHHH me eyes!!!!!!!"

I was furious as I looked over at Kenney, who quickly turned to Jason before screaming "Run Jason run the pregnant woman is angry!" and with that the two of them took off.

Levi looked at me and smiled mischievously as he strolled over to the door and slammed it closed. "Now where were we?" he asked as he slowly advanced forward. I let out a giggle before he pulled me down to sit on the couch. We sat cuddled up as he turned on the TV and flipped throught the few channels that were available. He paused when the show "Say Yes to the Dress" came on, glancing at me as if in thought. Before we could change the channel, I gently pulled the remote from his grasp. "I like this show" I said with a pout.

He gave me a look before I responded "What? My mom used to make me watch it with her."

He looked at me again before chuckling at my serious expression, "What ever you say princess"

"What did you call me?" I asked giving him my best death glare.

"Ummm, nothing. I have no idea what you are talking about." He replies and gently pulls me closer to him, perhaps afraid "Hormone Woman" may strike, as Kenney and Jason like to put it.

I rolled my eyes before settling down and enjoying his arms around me. My attention soon focused on the screen. My eyelids began to grow heavy and soon found myself slowly drifting to sleep. Moments before my body gave way to sleep, I could have sworn Levi whispered, "Someday Hails, someday"

While I was sleeping, I had the most amazing dream, or more like a good memory:

Levi, Kenney, Jason, and I were sitting in Kenney and Levi's garage, laughing and having fun. The band had just started and tomorrow was prom. The guys were laughing and joking around about how amazing prom would be and I was texting my boyfriend at the time. I was so excited, my dress and accessories were all ready. Kenney and Jason both had dates, both of them members of another band in town. Levi was going solo, because according to him, "he can get any girl he wants once he's at the dance and that way he doesn't have to pay for anything" I rolled my eyes when he told me this, it was typical Levi. When Kenney and Jason left to go pick up the pizza from Pizza Hut, Levi pulled me aside, "Harley are you sure you want to go with that jerk?"

"Seriously! Levi really, he's not a jerk and you would know that if you actually try to talk to him!"

"Harley, seriously think about it!"

"No! He likes me Levi and I like him!"

"Are you so sure about that, maybe he's just trying to use you!"

"Whatever, I'm going home!" with that I stormed off while he called my name. I never turned back and I never believed him, until the next night.

James arrived to pick me up the next night, acting like a gentleman as he opened the passenger door for me and once arriving taking my arm in his as we strolled into the school's gym. The night was going great, until James excused himself an hour in. I waited, seated on the bleachers where he left me for over an hour, before I decided to go look for him. I strolled the hallways, occasionally asking people if they have seen him. I stopped in my tracks when I passed a janitor closet in the hallway, it was around a corner in a hallway no one else was in, when I heard someone's voice, "Did you do what I told you yet?" a slightly (being nice here) annoying voice of the school's dance team captain Mallory asks.

"Don't worry babe, tonight's the night" I heard James tell her. I slapped my hands over my mouth, to keep myself from saying anything.

"James, I told you to hurry up and expose her as the emo slut she is!"

"Babe don't worry I got this! By the way, you are sexy when you are angry." They got quiet after he said that. I couldn't believe it, Levi was right! Why didn't I listen to him?

The next thing I know, I swing the door open to find James and Mallory in a heated make out session. "How could you?" asked trying to hold back tears.

To avoid a huge breakdown I took off running. I heard James call behind me "Hailey it's not what it looks like" I could feel my eyes roll into my skull. I took off to the first place I could think of, the park the guys and I used to always go to when we were younger.

I spent a few minutes at the park, crying my eyes out, when I felt someone sit down beside me and pull me in close to them. "Harley, I'm so sorry" I heard a voice say. I glanced up to see Levi sitting there.

I offered him a slight smile, before more sobs shook through my body. I turned slightly and clung to him as if my life depended on it and at that moment, it felt like it. We stayed like that, before the sun began to rise. I felt Levi pick me up bridal style and start walking, "where are we going?" I asked in a soft voice that did not sound like my own.

"I'm taking you home." he stated simply. Only we weren't heading to my home, we were heading to his.

He never set me down until we were upstairs in his room. He laid me down gently on his bed. I heard him rummaging through his drawers. He gave me a slight smile as he handed me a pair of his sweatpants and his favorite Pierce the Veil t-shirt. I just stared at him, not wanting to move, let alone feel anything.

He sighed before climbing on the bed. He gently took the sweatpants and battled through the layers of me dress. At that moment I didn't care as he carefully took my heels off before sliding the sweatpants over my legs. It made me feel slightly less self conscious by the fact that he was looking at my face rather than up my dress. I felt him pull me up into a sitting position and slid his shirt over the top half of my dress, before reach behind me and unzipping it. He carefully pulled it down, before getting up and carefulling hanging it up. He picked up my heels and gently placed them on the floor by where he hung my dress.

He lifted me up again, to move his blankets down as he laid me in his bed. He pulled the covers over me and fluffed up the pillow a little bit. He kissed my forehead, turned off the lamp, and started to walk towards his door. Before he could leave, I called out in a voice that could not even be called a whisper, "Don't leave me"

I saw a smile twitch slightly as he closed his door and took a pillow and a single blanket off his bed. He laid on the floor and smiled up at me before we both fell into a peaceful sleep.
