Where do I go from this?

Chapter 23

Annie's POV
He looks at me concerned. "What's wrong?" He says as he places his hand on mine. "Ok so about a week ago, I got a package. It was from well my ex not Case but Will. He left four years ago without telling me. I was heartbroken because he was my best friend as well as my boyfriend. We never got to say goodbye. But when I was getting ready he rung me today and told me to meet him tonight. He will know what I'm wearing because he got me this dress. So I can't avoid him. And I'm so sorry I didn't tell you please forgive m—" he interrupts me.

"It's ok, you don't have to explain yourself. I trust you. I think you should meet him and I will be there if you need me. Ok?" I nod my head as I lay it on his shoulder. "I won't let anything happen to you. I promise" he whispers. I feel the car come to a stop. We must be here. Hayden gets out and helps me out.

He intertwined his fingers with mine as we hold hands. I take a deep breathe as we start to walk. Here goes nothing. We walk into the crowded room. Everyone looked amazing. I look at Hayden and he smiles at me. "You can go find him. I'll be right here if you need me." I show him a faint smile. "Thank you..." I walk off into the middle of the dance floor.

I see a boy standing in the middle. I walk up to him and tap his shoulder. "W-will?" I say in shakey voice. He turns around. He has changed so much. He isn't the boy I remember. "You came" I nod. "You've changed....a lot" he shows me a smile. I feel so uncomfortable right now. I just want to be with Hayden. "Are you going to explain so I can go back to my boyfriend?" I say harshly.

"Oh....you moved on" he says looking down. "ITS BEEN FOUR YEARS WILL. YOUR THE ONE WHO LEFT ME WITHOUT TELLING ME. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN YOU PUT ME THROUGH! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!" I look at him dead in the eye as tears fill mine. "I was depressed for a year because of you. Then I got into a really toxic relationship. My mom died in a car accident this year as well. And if it wasn't for Hayden I don't where I would be right now!" A tear slips out of my eye and down my cheek.
