Harry’s P.O.V.:
I walk down the stairs, with Claire’s arm wrapped around mine. I feel so stiff in the tux Clair’s mom picked for me. It’s so not me, I look so stupid. I look around the crowd, but can’t see Roe anywhere. I need to talk to her about what happened the other day at the toilet. I look over at Claire, who is stuffed down in a red dress that matches my eyes. She is waving, a like she is the got damn queen.
When we are standing and taking some drinks, I see Liam, Roe’s brother, and Aria, her best friend. Maybe I should talk to Aria; to find out were Roe is.
All alike that, for a second I catch Aria’s eye’s, and she gives me a very judgmental look. A guess, Aria knows about the episode at the toilet.

_____________________________________________________________________________

And finally it comes: king and queen announcement! I honestly don’t get surprised, when my and Claire’s name get called up. We get up to the stage, and I watch the other couples getting called. First it is Aria and Liam; they are such a cute couple, they really deserve to win. Then it’s the geek couple, witch name’s I don’t know. But then, my world breaks down. The last couple is Zayn and Rose! How can Roe go to prom, with him? I slowly feel the anger rise in my body, and can’t stop starring at her. While we wait for the result, they cuddle, and being all… cute. I can’t stop thinking about her, and that is so disturbing. I have to love Claire, I have to. I can’t risk the effect it would have, if I break up with her. It would break down my family, not just their reputation but also their pride. It all started a year ago:
I had some friends back then, some bad friends. One night, we got really drunk, and we ended giving each other challenges. It got out of hand, and one of my friends, Matty, challenges me to rob the McEvan’s house. I was dumb, and didn’t think about it. I climbed over the gate, and sneak in through the back door. I went to the living room, to take a painting or something. But just as I grabbed a painting, a security guard cut me. Then, Claire’s parent’s called mine, and they came over to pick me up. As they came, my and Claire’s parent’s made a deal. Claire’s parents would keep it a secret, if I agreed to marry Claire. I agreed, but nobody knows about it. We won’t announce the engagement until Christmas this year. At that time, both Claire and I are 20 years old.
I get ripped out of my thoughts when they announce the winner: Roe and Zayn. After getting crowned, they go down to the dance floor. I hate watching them slow dance, and Roe being happy about it. I think she forgets what he did to her that day at our building. Claire asks me to dance, but I turn her down. I like standing in the corner, and sulk over Roe and Zayn.
Suddenly Zayn leaves Roe at the dance floor, and I make my move. As I begin to walk over to her, a slow song come’s on, but she is still standing there. I walk up to her behind her, so she want see me. As I stand behind her, I just watch her for a moment. She’s wearing a little black dress with her long brown hair waving loose over it. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. With my left foot I push her left foot so she falls backwards. I catch her with my arms wrapped around her stomach. Without looking at me, we just stand there for a while, dancing slowly to the music. I’m a kind of glad that she is standing with her back against my stomach, with her hands on mine, so she can’t see that I am not Zayn.
“That was a quick trip to the toilet,” she says softly, still holding my hands into her body.
“I actually wasn’t on the toilet,” I say, just waiting for reaction.
“Harry?” She immediately let go of my hands, and turn around, but we still stand close as hell.
“Yup, that’s me,” I say, and give her my most charming smile.
She takes a step back, and looks around.
“I thought you were Zayn,” She says a little nervous.
“We have to talk about what happened the other day, at the toilet,” I say, try to find her eyes, but they are all over the place.
“No we don’t. I misunderstood our relationship, and thought we had a thing, but we don’t, you and Claire got a thing,” She says, still looking for Zayn’s face too appear.
“I’m sorry, but,” She interrupt.
“Don’t be. Now go over and dance with your date!” She says, and walks away. Not over to Zayn, but over to Aria and Liam.
I have to pee! I walk into the boy’s bathroom, and hear some weird noises. Some people are making out in one of the boxes. I know how much it sucks to get exposed while doing it, but I still think it is fun. I open the door, and its Zayn and some random girl in there! How can he do this to Roe?
“Zayn! What the hell are you doing?” I ask furious!
“Just having some fun…” He answers, and gives the girl a quick kiss.
“And what about your queen, Roe?” I ask, feeling the anger growing inside me.
“Please don’t tell her!” Zayn demands me, and stands up, leaving the girl on the toilet seat.
“And what if I do?”
“You will get some of this,” he says, giving me a light punch. I punch back, a little harder. He punches me out of the box, so hard I hit a sink that is put against the wall behind me.
I punch him very hard on his nose, and it starts to bleed. He wipes the blood away, and punches me so hard in the stomach, that I break down, and fall down on the floor. He starts kicking me, and I just crumble. I want to stand up and punch, but I can’t. I’m too wrecked. The final thing that crosses my mind is her. It’s Roe. Not Claire, but Roe.
