hartley's point of view

For the past hour I had been feeling the butterflies go crazy in my stomach. It was an indescribable feeling, yet I felt like I was a bit irrational. Almost half an hour before we kissed I had made up my mind that I wasn't ready to date again. This I told him. Then I decide to kiss him again like... half an hour after that decision was made. I feel like a dumb bitch, but I also feel like It was the best thing I could've done for myself. Dominic and I had gotten ourselves into a conversation with the majors wife about my performance later. She had been talking forever, and we were both just standing still, listening to her babble about how hard it was putting this dance together.

"Oh honey, your performance is gonna be the highlight of the evening! I'm sure of it." She exclaimed and put her hands to her heart. "Thank you so much, mrs. Carter." I smiled at her, and felt a hand taking mine. I looked down and then up, only to completely blush at Dom. She walked away without looking back. Dominic spun me around, causing me to laugh and occasionally almost fall. "So, you're quite popular here, Mrs. Dawson." He said and pulled me close. I mumbled a tired 'mhmmmm' and put my head on his chest. "I'm so tired, Dom. I literally want this to be over already," I said and put my arms around him. "- I want to return to the days where I can curse again." I added. Dominic consistently laughed at me and put his lips on mine.

I felt somebody drag me away from the kiss and I looked up in a pair of eyes that belonged to my dad. "Hartley Violet Dawson, what do you think you're doing?" He started. He was filled with anger. Wrath was the only thing in his head as of right now, and apparently me during public PDA wasn't making it any better. "Dad, Dominic and I we-" He grabbed a hold of my arm and squeezed it hard. A wrenching pain was filled in my entire arm. It felt as if a 1000 knives were being poked in and out of my arm at the same time. I loudly shrieked and the moment I did that; he stopped. He pointed in Dominic's direction and looked me deep in the eyes. "You have to knock it off with him, or I will. And it'll be the hard way, Hartley." My dad stated and quickly moved past me. Dom made his way over to me. "Hartley, what happened?" He asked.

"Please just promise me that you won't leave my eyesight tonight, that's all I'm asking. Please, Dominic." I pleaded and held him in a tight clasp. "Okay, I promise. You'll be fine, yeah?" I nodded. The other places. If only I could be there all the time. It seemed so good there. "Hartley, you're up! Please go on stage." Mrs. Carter said and pushed me in the stages direction. I turned around and mimicked to Dominic to go and stand up front. He seemed to get it, because he came up to me and whispered: "I'll go be front row." I blushed hard and attached my lips to his for a few seconds. "See you there." I mumbled, grabbed my red dress, lifted up and walked up the stairs. Who knew that such a big dress could be such a pain in the ass to get up a few stairs?

The spotlight fell on me and the lights in the big room dimmed as the song started.

"Boy, you're such a lost cause
Now your name is crossed off
How you gonna fix this?
You can't even fix yourself."

I looked at Dom with a passionate look in my eyes. "This is for you." I mimed at him.

"It was almost two years
That I chose to spend here
All alone on New Year's
Thinkin' "What the hell?"

I don't wanna break your thread and needle
Tryna stitch you, but I can't, I refuse."

I was standing completely still, yet I was nervous to perform. I would never be anything else, that'd be uncommon for a person like me.

"Shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
Had a feeling that you never felt it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish
Don't know why I looked the other way
I wanted you to change, yeah
I shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish

I bet you thought you gave me real love
But we spent it all in nightclubs
All you ever wanna do is lie
Why you always such a Gemini?

Baby, who you tryna run from
Me or all your problems?
You know you will never solve 'em
You don't even know yourself

I don't wanna break your thread and needle
Tryna stitch you, but I can't, I refuse

Shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
Had a feeling that you never felt it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish
Don't know why I looked the other way
I wanted you to change, yeah
I shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish."

I pointed at Dom and stuck my tongue out to make him laugh. Fortunately for me, it worked. I took my one hand to my heart. My poor heart. When and if we're ever gonna be official, my heart is gonna be broken. So very bad.

"I don't wanna break your thread and needle
Tryna stitch you, but I can't, I refuse."

I walked down the stairs while a man held my dress for me so that I wouldn't fall. I mimed a quick 'thank u' to him, and kept walking towards the crowd. My eyes were locked with Dominic's when I could see him.

"But it's not possible
Plus I'm not responsible
For your self-made obstacles
Put my heart in the hospital, whoa, whoa-oh."

I was now standing in front of him, my hand in his and I was looking deep into his eyes. "My heart is pounding." I whispered into his ear. He pecked my lips before responding: "Calm down, I'm right here if you fall, yeah?" Oh my god.

Bang.

That was the sound of me falling for Dominic Harrison.

And I fell hard.

"Shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
Had a feeling that you never felt it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish
Don't know why I looked the other way
I wanted you to change, yeah
I shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish."

The song slowly faded and everyone started clapping. I jumped up and down. "Dom, I did it! I did it!" I exclaimed with a pint of excitement in my voice. He picked me up and spun me around in the air. It felt like flying; it was relieving. He put me down again, only to give me the longest kiss in the world. I pulled away from the kiss, blushed and gave him a hug to cover it up.

This wasn't the feeling of defeat; it was pure happiness.
