I gripped onto his wrist, “Alec!” I snapped. He looked down at me with wide eyes. “Gosh what Elle?” He questioned, pulling his arm away with one single tug. “Sorry I just…” I looked up at him taking a deep breath, my hands clenching onto my dress. This is not at all how I planned my Halloween party to go.. “You need something?” Alec said glaring me up and down. “I wanted to say sorry..?” I say, trying avoid what was about to happen. I had so much confidence I would do it tonight but I couldn’t bother with the dreaded lump in my throat. I knew I messed up in high school, making fun of him for his glasses and uh, ‘personality’ but I’ve changed. I just needed him to see that. “Sorry?” He raised a brow. How can you dare bother saying sorry after what you did?” Alec questioned. “Because I..” I paused, getting it out of the way would help. Even if he doesn’t feel the same which I know he won’t… I’ll have some closure. “I like you, maybe even love you.” I covered my mouth. Omg I did it, I did it I did it I did it! Alec froze up too, looking down at me. He cleared his throat and nodded, “Oh.” That was it? I just confessed my feelings and all I got was an oh? “That’s surprising.” He continued running his hand through his hair. “But I don’t do…” he looked me up and down, “mean girls.” He turned back around and got in his car, I could practically hear my heart crack in two. That was it. Well then… at least I have closure..
