CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Dakota

There’s a definite chill in the air these last few nights, and I shiver under my heavy sweater as I make my way through the dark, deserted alleyway toward the abandoned building. It’s been five nights since I slept in Levi’s arms and I miss him. Somehow, he wheedled his way into my heart, and I miss him way more than I ever missed Cole.

I’m still sick every time I think of Friday night. I can’t believe Levi was so quick to judge me. Especially after everything we shared. And he hasn’t made any effort to approach me. In fact, he hasn’t shown up at class or the cafeteria, and I know he’s purposely ignoring me.

I wish it didn’t hurt as much as it did.

I obviously didn’t mean that much to him if he can let me go just like that. I push into the building and trudge up the stairs. It’s better I found out now before my heart was any more invested.

“What the …” My words trail off as I step out onto the roof. It’s been transformed overnight. A multitude of candles rim the perimeter, casting magical shadows on the floor. Bunches of roses rest on elevated stands, scenting the air and lifting my spirits. A silver bucket with non-alcoholic champagne and two glasses rests on a small table, alongside a midnight feast of sorts.

My heart is sprinting around my chest, bursting at the seams.

Lilting music tickles my eardrums as Levi steps forward, strumming his guitar and singing.

All this time, I’ve been lying to myself

That mocking face in the mirror spoke the truth

But I was too scared to see

Too afraid to fight for what I know is right

Until you broke through the haze

Lost and alone

With your beautiful, haunting moves

Silently calling out to me

I’ll get down on my knees

To prove I’m worthy

A girl like you deserves the world

And I want to be the one to give it to you

My beautiful midnight dancer

Dancing through the starry night sky

Like an angel without wings

Your pain speaks to mine, and I need this connection

To feel something I’ve never believed in

But I’m no good for you

Afraid I’ll take you down with me

When all I want is to build you back up

To see the light shine in your blue eyes once again

I’ll get down on my knees

To prove I’m worthy

A girl like you deserves the world

And I want to be the one to give it to you

My beautiful midnight dancer

I want to get lost in you

To drown in you

To wake up surrounded by your beauty and your goodness

You make me smile, and I don’t ever wanna stop

Don’t ever wanna stop

Smiling or loving you

I just wanna give you everything you’re missing

And never forget how that feels

I’ll get down on my knees

To prove I’m worthy

A girl like you deserves the world

And I want to be the one to give it to you

My beautiful midnight dancer

So scared, but what do you say?

To falling from the sky with me

I can’t do this without you, and I need
