perfect moment
Note: Takes place after 1x10 "Hi, Society"
She looks into his eyes and she knows. This is the perfect moment she’d been dreaming about for as long as she remembered. This is her perfect moment, and he is her perfect boy. Only, it’s not really perfect anymore.
He’s looking at her like she’s the only one in his world. And that is all she’d ever wanted, yet somehow the thought 'it’s too late' goes through her mind.
She pushes the thought away as she kisses him, closing her eyes, wanting to get lost in the sensation of being with the boy she loved loves.
But images of limo rides and a tender unsure kiss fill her head; the whispered 'are you sure?' of another boy echoes in her ears. The first time she knew the answer was yes, there had been no question in her mind, tonight though she isn’t that certain.
He ruined her perfect moment, with his stupid butterflies that wouldn’t die, his necklace that she couldn’t take off even now, and worst of all the slight hope he gave her that maybe they could have worked.
She knew it was wrong to think that maybe he could be tamed. She knows him, better than he knows himself, and she knew he could never be her perfect gentleman. He would only let her down, just like he had tonight.
So she kisses Nate and closes her eyes and pretends she doesn’t hear him calling to her as she walked away from him forever.
