Chapter Thirty-Three

     He closed his eyes, thinking for a moment. "Your carrying a baby, so your responsible for two lives, instead of just one."

     I looked at him for a moment. "Okay, I get it." 

     Just then the limo pulled up at the school. "Ready?" Zach asked me. 

     "Yeah.." I nodded, letting him help me out the door. I sighed looking at the building that they were having it in. They had decorated the outside with balloons and banners.

     I let Zach led me to the entrance, and I waiting for him to give the tickets to the student collecting them. He gave the person the tickets and pulled me inside. The room was dark with colorful lights shooting all over the place. There were more balloons all over the place, and they has flowers and hearts all over the walls.

     "Want to dance?" Zach asked me. There was a loud song playing, and everyone was dancing to it. 

     "Of course." I said, he took my hands and led me to an open spot. He then began to shake his body, and move his arms, causing mine to move with his. I laughed and joined him. He let go of one of my hands, and twirled me by the other one. Next, he pulled me close, and spun both of us. This went on for about two minutes, until the song finally ended.

     I laughed, pulling away from him, just as a very slow song came on.

     "Wanna dance again?" He asked, offering me his hand. I took it without hesitation. He pulled me close to his chest, and I put my hands on his shoulders, while he put his on my waist. We began to move our feet to the music, and I stared into his clear blue eyes. Very slowly, I rested my head on his chest, and closed my eyes, letting him take lead in the song.

     Before I knew it, the song ended. I stepped back from him, and smiled. Taking a breathe, I opened my mouth to say the words I'd been longing to say for so long, but before I could someone tapped on my shoulder. Turning around, I saw Eric standing behind me.

     "May I have this dance?" He asked, holding out his hand like Zach did. 

     I looked back at Zach and he nodded. I turned back to Eric.

     "Fine." I said, reluctantly letting him put his hands on my sides and putting my hands on his shoulders. We began to move to the next slow song.

      "Your look very pretty tonight." He said staring at me.

     "Whatever." I replied, looking away. I noticed that Zach was dancing with Ashley, who was wearing a very short red dress.

     "I'm sorry, okay?" Eric said, trying to get my attention.

     I sighed, and turned towards him. "Why'd you do it?"

     "Because I was jealous.." He looked away. "I knew you and Zach had a thing for each other, and I liked you. So, Ashley convinced me to get back at you.."

     "Well, it was wrong!" I hissed. "Did you want to destroy my life?"

     "At the time, I did. But now I know it was wrong, and I'm sorry." He looked back at me.

     "Okay." I said simply, pulling away from him before the song was over. I wasn't going to let him ruin my night. I hurried to the table serving punch. I grabbed a cup, while Zach hurried next to me.

     "You okay?" He asked, taking my hand.

     "Yeah, did Ashley say anything to you?" I took a sip of my drink.

     "She tried to convince me that you weren't the right person for me." He picked up a glass.

     "She did?" 

     "Yeah, but I told her that you were the best thing that has ever happened to me." He smiled.

     I lifted my head up, and brought my lips to his. "Thank you." I said after we pulled apart.

     "Tonight was the best night of my life." I told Zach. We were standing on my porch, the dance had just ended. 

     He replied by bringing his lips to mine. 

    "I'll see you tomorrow." He whispered, before walking away. I smiled, and walked inside. 

     "I'm home!" I called out.

     "I'm in the bathroom!" My mom yelled. I hurried across the living room to the bathroom. Inside, my mom was bent over the bathtub giving Lilly a bath. 

     "How was your night?" She asked me, as she scrubbed shampoo into Lilly's hair. 

     "It was prefect." I replied. "And mom.. Guess what?"

     "What?" She turned her head to look at me.

     "I've decided.... that I want to keep my daughter." I smiled.
