As Will parked the car, I prepared myself for the glares and whispers. And sure enough, as soon as Will opened the door and took my hand, I heard saw the jealous stares and heard people muttering things I'm not going to repeat. I took a deep breath, and told myself tonight would be the best night of my life. Gabriel already had Cecily's arm around his, and honestly, I feared for that boy's life.
"Hey, hey, calm down, Will. It's fine. You can't expect Cecily not to ever date anyone." I said, trying to calm him down.
"I'm not saying she can't date anyone, but him? Gabriel Light-fucking-wood? Is she serious?" he said, absolutely furious.
"Okay, alright, but aren't you the one that broke his arm, and read his sister's diary? What did he ever do to you?" I asked, genuinely curious.
"Well, h-he... I guess he hasn't had the strength or wit to really affect me,"
"See? Now lets go get pictures. And stop looking at them, it'll just make you angrier." Will looked at me for a moment, smiled, and held out his arm.
As we walked into the venue, my jaw dropped. The student council had really, really outdone themselves this year. Blue and gold balloons were scattered everywhere, confetti littered the beautiful white floors. The lights were stunning and the stage decorated with flowers. And glitter. Glitter everywhere.
"Wow," I said.
"Well yeah, wow, because I helped organize it!" Jem said from behind me.
I turned around, shocked to hear that Jem was on student council. "That's amazing! This is awesome," I said, genuinely shocked.
After talking to Jem for a bit, Will and I got our pictures taken. After that, it was time to dance. Will kept stealing glances at me, and when he wasn't looking at me, he was watching Gabriel and Cecily like a hawk.
And then, shit hit the fan. Gabriel leaned down, and kissed Cecily. Like on the lips. And she kissed him back. Will turned about the darkest shade of red you can get. He practically ran over to them, me trying to pull him back. He was too strong for me, and ended up pulling Gabriel off of Cecily.
And then punching him in the face. "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO?"he yelled.
"I kissed your sister. I kissed Cecily." he said, sounding dazed and as if he couldn't believe the words that had just come out of his mouth. "No SHIT Sherlock!" Will said, angrier than I had ever seen him.
"Will-""I swear to fucking God if you ever try to touch her again, I'll-""WILL." I said, in the sternest voice I could manage with him looking like an erupting volcano of hotness.
"Let go of him." were the first words out of Cecily's mouth this entire time.
Will looked at me, and after I nodded, he let go. "I'm warning you, Lightworm, I-"
"For the love of GOD, Will, would you stop treating me like a glass doll and let me make my own decisions! If I want to be with Gabriel, there's nothing you can do to stop me." And with that, Cecily grabbed Gabriel's hand and frog-marched him out of the room.
By now, the entire school was watching us, completely shocked and confused. I motioned for Will to come with me, and walked out the doors farthest away from where Cecily and Gabriel had left.
"Hey, calm down. I'm not saying I'm on Cecily's side. But you need no ease up on her. Remember, he hasn't done anything to you." I said, trying really hard to get him to look at me.
"I know, I'm sorry. I just really don't want her heart to get broken by that asshole," he said, looking really lost and vulnerable.
"Heartbreak is inevitable when it comes to real love. If he loves her, he'll come back no matter what," I said, trying to be as helpful as possible.
"But w-"
The doors opened.
"Hey, are you guys okay?" Jem asked.
"We're fine. About to head back in, actually!" Will replied, wiping the worry off his face and replacing it with a smile I could see right through. It seemed like Jem could too.
Each time he brushed off a fight, my heart broke a little more for him. His pain was as clear as glass- and although he thinks I can't see that, I can. I just hope Gabriel doesn't mess up now...
