"What happened?" He asked nervously

"I had a bad day..." I chuckled nervously dying a little inside

"Well you can tell me anything, you know that right?" He offered a small smile

"I know, and I love that..." I smiled

"Well lets go, we can talk on the way to your house" He smiled warmly

Honestly we didn't talk at all, we just sat there listening to music and shouting out the lyrics, this was Dave's way of making me feel better. When we dated, we'd always sing along to the radio, and I guess it wasn't really any different.

"This song is perfection!" I smiled as I turned up the volume

'I can hold my breath, I can bite my tongue, I can stay awake for days if that's what you want, be your number one...I can fake a smile, I can force a laugh, I can dance and play the part, if that's what you ask, give you all I am...I can do it, I can do it, I can do it! But I'm only human, and I bleed when I fall down, I'm only human, and I crash and I break down your words in my head, knives in my heart, you build me up and then I fall apart, 'Cause I'm only human!' we chouroused

This song was the best, Christina Perri really made a good song. It describes everything we feel in life...or at least it describes me.

"Thanks for everything, Dave" I smiled

"No problem, and Denise, I was wondering if we could go out on Friday, I want to give 'us' another shot..."

"I can't this Friday, what about Saturday?" I asked remembering the ball with Nathan

"I can't on Saturday, I'm still filming 22 Jump Street. What about next Wednesday?" He offered

"Next Wednesday is perfect." I grinned

"Okay, well I'll see you later" He smiled

I walked in instantly remembering my problems, I had to explain to Nathan, I would have to tweet something about being single, I didn't want ANY hate. then again nobody does...

"Denise, where were you? I was worried!" Nathan asked

"I want you to tell the press tomorrow night that we are friends, nothing more nothing less. Got it?" I ordered

"Okay, sorry but when did I say we were? You grabbed my hand, it's not my fault that the paps got there and saw us together." Nathan argued

"Look Nathan, I am sick of all the hate that I'm getting, and I'm sorry. I like you as a friend, honestly I think I'm in love with someone."

"I get that you do not like me, but we have to talk to Scooter about this, this is good publicity for the band, and I'm sorry. I'll try to fix this as soon as possible."

"So you want me to get hate just so that you can have more publicity? No social life, no love life, nothing just so that you can be a bit more famous?" I growled

"Well when you say it like that, you make it sound worse" He whispered

"Because it's a shitty thing to do Nathan!" I yelled

"Please Denise, do it for me, just until after the ball." He begged

"Fine, but after this I am going back to my regular life, where I'm somewhat happy!" I shouted

"That's fine by me." He muttered

                                                                   ***

I grabbed my strapless gown that was laid down on my bed, black high heels in a box, and boxes containing a lot of different make up supplies, and a beautiful necklace that had an infinity sign pendant, half of it had diamonds, pretty black diamonds. On the inside was a note.

I know you're not my date tonight, but I saw this and thought about us, our love. My love for you is infinite, and I know that somewhere in there, a piece of you still loves me. Well at least I hope...I want you to know that I'll love you forever and always...       -Dave

I do love you, more than you'll ever know...

       I walked out an hour later fully dressed with the necklace that Dave had given me, I saw Nathan at the bottom of the stairs, so cliché I know, but either way my heart belonged to someone else.

"You look amazing" Nathan smiled

"Thanks, now lets get this over with" I muttered

We walked to the Christmas Ball and just started talking to random people that Nathan knew. Something in the back caught my eye, well someone actually. His hair was gelled into a quiff and he was wearing a tux, damn he looked good in a tux. I walked over to where he was and he looked me up and down, that breath taking smile forming when he saw the necklace around my neck.

"David John Franco, I am madly in love with you and have been since high school and I've wanted to tell you, but something always happens, and I should've believed you when you told me that you were drugged, we wouldn't be in this situation right now, we would be happily watching Disney movies and I know I'm rambling but I'm just so--" I was cut off by Dave placing his lips on mine, his touch, oh how I longed for it, our lips moved in sync and this was just perfect...

"You talk too much when you're nervous" He smirked

"Gee thanks, way to ruin the moment" I blushed

"Well, Denise Marie Dimarco I'm in love with you too, and when I saw you, I wanted to be the one escorting you, and when I saw that necklace on you, it made my heart melt because I knew you still felt the same way about me, and I want to grow want us to grow old together, I want to start a family with you, I want to pick up where we left off the first time, I want to make you Mrs. Franco, I want us to be happily married, so that you can smack me when I piss you off, and I can just kiss you when and where ever. With that being said, will you be my girlfriend?" He smiled

"Of course!" I grinned

"You won't regret it!"

I danced with him, not wanting to be anywhere but in his arms, but sadly all good things must come to an end. Just as Dave was about to kiss me Nathan came to get me, he needed some photos of us dancing for the press so he asked me to dance which I was willing to decline but Dave said that it was only fair, after all Nathan had asked me to be his escort and I did sort of promise Nathan...

                                                                         ***

That night I went to bed in Dave's arms, I know we're moving a bit fast, well not really because we've been best friends forever and we've always loved each other. This felt so right, and I can now say that he's mine...hopefully forever.
