So Evanescence is playing...
Everybody in my limo is gathered by the door, ready to go.
And I'm walking around the outskirts of the dance floor looking for Ben so I can say goodbye.
He's nowhere to be found. I see Graham by himself.
He sees me.
I pretend not to see him.
I look the other way.
Out of the corner of my eye I see him coming over.
I turn toward the door and start walking away.
And then I hear his voice, right behind me, confident, sweet, "Alex."
And I turn around (hello Matt Damon), and he asks me to dance.
And I say, "I think I'm leaving."
And he smiles and makes some sort of sarcastic comment, but I can't hear it because my heart is beating too loudly, screaming at me for being so stupid.
And we stand there for a little while, talking, and I turn to look at my date, my friends, standing by the door, just messing around, not even paying attention to where I am or what I'm doing.
And I realize what a mistake I'd made and just as I'm about to say, "Actually, it doesn't seem like we're going anywhere, let's just dance" ... the song ends.
Ifheonlyknew.
