• I've done everything I can to get you to notice me, I can honestly say I've done everything in my power to have you see the real me, even possibly love me...

    Elizabeth watched her best friend walk to the dance, walk away from her. Her world falling from beneath her. Her breath became unsteady as she heard the song playing in the background. She went inside to where the dance commenced to go to the bathroom to clear her eyes of the tears that were almost forced to the surface.
    The music continued in the background

    Cause I'm broken
    When I'm open
    And I don't feel like
    I'm strong enough.

    While your dancing with her, I'm falling apart. It hurts so much to know that I'll never be the girl in your arms. I'm always going to be the best friend. To both of you.

    Two best friends tearing her apart.

    Elizabeth's P.O.V

    The dance commenced around me, I sat in a chair to the far side of the dance floor, wishing that I didn't know they were dancing together, knowing that the girl in his arms was as much a friend as any and he was my best friend. After the song came to its even slower end I saw them approach me, I half wanted to bolt for the doors knowing that they would act like "poor Elizabeth". There was no need for them to feel sorry, there was only one guy I would have liked to have danced with.

    After a while of talking with them and the continuous "yes, I'm fine" answers, the lights came on letting every student know that the dance was over. I watched as Daniel and Celeste walk out of the dance together, he would be taking her home no less.

    I walked out the front doors of the dance about five minutes later when the doors weren't as crowded same as the parking lot. I got to my car on the farthest side of the lot. I got into the drivers seat and rested my head on the steering wheel. Just about that time I felt my phone go off in my purse.

    A text message from Daniel
    Do u wanna hang out b4 u leave for home?

    I typed back a "Sure" and made my way over to his house. He would be there alone, Celeste wasn't allowed out past the ending time of the dance. I got to his house and made my way to his bedroom. He smiled a "hi" to me as I sat on his bed.
    "How are you doing? You looked pretty sad at the dance..." Daniel's voice trailed off. I think he knows I love him deep down and I know for sure that he knows I like him more then a "best friend" but from time to time he would forget that.
    "Yeah, I'm fine... I just had memories popping up in my mind," I wasn't lying, I was having memories from that song.
    "I know that was our song playing, I felt horrible that she didn't let me dance with you, I was wanting to... It felt wrong dancing with her while our song played," Daniel's eyes fell as he spoke. He reached down to pick up his phone, he messed with it for a few seconds and he stood up as the instrumental part of our song began. "May I have this dance," he held out his hand for me and I took it.
    The song: Broken by Seether.
    While we danced in his room to the slow song, it gave me time to think. There is obviously a reason why my attempts to get him to notice me haven't worked. There is a reason why, after all the stuff Celeste put him through and they are still together. I must admit that he does deserve better, but they were meant for each other and who am I to say they cant be together. My chance with him was messed up long ago. Half way through our song I couldn't hold myself back anymore. "Daniel, this isn't right. Going behind Celeste's back like this... I've admitted to liking you, you forget that every now and again but the funny thing is that I lied when I said I liked you," I admitted to him.
    "You did?" His eyes were shocked and he gave me a long stare before I continued.
    "Yes, I did... I should have told you that I love you... That's more the truth then what I told you," I shook my head and continued. "However, I'm not going sway you or your judgment. I'm walking away, right now... Good-bye..." I walked out of the bedroom and left to my car without another word. I hated doing that, it wasn't something I would have done willingly.

    I was driving home, tears in my eye, this was one of my many problems solved, now it was fixing a broken heart. I was lost in thought too much so to notice the car on the opposing side of the street swerving into my lane just slightly, I determined that he was a drunk driver but I didn't do much when he swerved out of the way for a cat that ran into the middle of his lane because there wasn't much that I could do. It was so quick. I hardly felt it at all. He hit me, his hood managed to pin me to the ground. His car went through mine and there was no stopping it from happening.

    And so far my only regret is walking away when I should have stayed at fought.
