Stay With Me...

I felt a bit nervous as I thought about how Conner was going to be here, with my best friend. He was going to be standing only a few feet away from me and I do not know how I felt about that. I still have not forgiven him for what he did, or what he at least strived to do and I will never forget it. My mind was wondering around, thinking about how he has changed and what he is going to be like now, and I can’t imagine him any different. I still see him as the guy who tried to assault me.


Megan kept telling me in the limo ride here to forgive and forget. I’m sorry, but I’m not the kind of person who can just forget about something like that. The fear was unbearable and haunting. I know Megan feels guilty for saying yes, but if she really felt guilty, why did she say yes?

“He’s walking over here.” Sophia whispered in my ear, but I didn’t dare to look. I just gazed at the door to the ballroom that would lead me to the best night of my senior year.

I felt Harry’s grip hold me tighter as I heard a “Hey, guys.” Being said from the same rough voice I used to swoon over. Should I look, or be kind and act like nothing ever even happened.

I decided not to look and just let harry speak for me, which wasn’t really talking as he just nodded his head at him, causing Sophia to shuffle uncomfortably. This was going to be a long night.

“ Let’s go inside.” Megan said as she held onto Connors arm and dragged him inside but Harry and I stayed behind.

“I’ll meet you guys in there.” Sophia said as she nodded at Harry as I peeled my eyes away from a his corsage I didn’t even know I was admiring.

Harry and I stood in the middle of the walkway as people passed us, probably wondering we weren’t as eager as them to go in. “We don’t have to go. Probably just go back to the room and-“I then cut him off because going to the room was the last thing I wanted to do.

“Are you kidding? It’s Prom, Harry. The night every high school girl is eager for.” I said as I looked up at him into the eyes that always captured me with even a glance. “Plus, I get to see your amazing dance moves again.” I teased him, because I’ve seen him dance before, and it wasn’t so pretty.

“I have some new dance moves.” Harry smirked as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder, comforting me. “I call it the sprinkler.” He said as he turned his head to look down at me.

I let out a chuckle as we began walking towards the two double doors that held the best time of senior year.



Harry and I swayed back and forth as my head rested against his timid chest to the song “Love Someone” by Jason Marz. This night seemed perfect as the Christmas lights were sprinkled above us and plastic, beautiful trees stretched themselves over us as cut out stars hanged themselves to brighten up our mood. I felt Harrys soft tender lips kiss the top of my head before the sound of heels tapping against the ballroom floor headed towards us.

“Delilah,” I heard a familiar voice call out before I turned my head, but still rested it on Harry’s chest, revealing it was Sophia. “Can we talk… for a minute?” Sophia said as she looked at harry and then back at me.

I lifted my head slightly from Harry’s chest before looking at him “Don’t take too long.” Harry smiled before he moved slightly from me. I returned the smile before I walked with Sophia, who seemed to be heading towards the refreshment table.

She grabbed a water bottle and took a quick sip from it before she begun to talk “Megan thinks you’re mad at her and if you are that’s not cool because you know how bad she feels about this and-“

I quickly cut Sophia off from her rambling “I’m not mad at her.”

“Then why haven’t you talked to her or even look at Conner?” Sophia said while twisting the water bottle lid shut.

I then gave her a diminutive shrugged before the sound of someone tapping on a microphone made everyone stop talking and gaze upon the stage. “Hello, Miller May High Students!” I young man’s voice boomed throughout the room, causing all attention to be on him. I wish I had the guts like him to not be bothered from being the center of attention.

“Are you guys having fun?” He asked which caused the room to roar with cheers.

“Good, Good.” He said as before I looked around the room, and for some reason was looking for the boy I was avoiding. When I finally caught a glance at who was now the new Conner I was a bit skeptical if it was him at all. His hair was nicely done and he covered up his tattoos. His piercings were out and he looked decent, like you-can-take-him-to-your-parents-and-they-dont-want-to-shut-the-door-in-his-face kind of look. He looked like he has changed, but I wonder if his attitude has.

Conner then looked in my direction and gave me a small wave. The wave was welcoming but somewhat out of sympathy as if he was trying to apologize with one simple gesture. A small smile appeared on my face, trying my best to be polite before I slowly glanced back at the stage as I noticed the man walking off of it. I wonder what he was talking about.

The music slowly faded back in before Sophia turned back to me as she rolled her eyes, I guess what he said was pointless. “Anyways as I was saying,” She begun before she took another sip of her water. “Why haven’t you talked to her or Connor?” she asked once again before I sighed.

“I don’t know, I think it may be awkward,” Lie. You just don’t want to talk to him. “And I think Megan doesn’t want me to make it awkward.” There I go, trying to turn the table. “And I want to spend the night with Harry.” Actually not a lie.

“Have you ever heard of Chicks before dicks?” She sassed me before started to head back to her table with Megan and Conner

I let out a sigh before I felt two hands around my waist, like the warm touch that Connor put on me that gloomy night. “Delilah,” I heard Harry’s raspy voice whimper in my ear. “ You want to get out of here?” Stop asking that.

“But prom started two hours ago, and they haven’t even announced king and queen.” I defended.

“Oh, everyone knows the quarter back and the head cheerleader will receive those awards.” He mentioned.

That is true. “But Harry,” I walled “one more hour,” I said as I tried to negotiate with him “And then we can go back to the hotel room?” She sound of uneasiness spilled out of my voice before Harry nodded his head.

I have one hour. One more hour until he finds out.
