Sight
Chapter 8
�Red is definatly your color Lizzie!� Grace said as Liz stood in front of the mirror in her red long to the floor dress, made with a smooth satin material and with a sheet of silk cloth over it, and part of the silk attached to her ring finger. �I guess it looks ok!� Liz shrugged putting on some matching red lip stick and already had her silver eye shadow on, and a little extra make up. �Are you nervous?� Grace asked. �I have no reason to be!� Liz sighed twirling around once.
�Elizabeth honey, you are going to be late if you don�t get going!� Her mother called from downstairs. �Okay mom!� she shouted back grabbing her heels and going down the stairs. �Have a good time dear!� Her mother said smiling. �Yeah, bye mom!� she said putting on her shoes and heading out the door.

�I wonder where Lizzie is!� Olivia said looking around holding Jesse�s hand tightly. �Livi, lets worry about it later! Come dance with me!� Jesse said, the song playing �God Must Have Spent� by NSYNC. �Okay, I love this song!� Olivia giggled following Jesse into the middle of the dance floor.
=====
Elizabeth made sure to make a quiet entrance, she didn�t want to be here anyways. Right away she spotted Jesse and Livia in the middle dancing, they seemed so happy together, who was she to ruin the evening. �Hey Liz!� Hunter said from behind her. �Oh, Hunter, hi� she said disappointed.
�Listen I�m sorry about the other day, I didn�t mean to get so angry, I was out of line!� Hunter apologized. �It�s ok!� Liz said walking to the punch bowl and scooping herself a small cup of the red liquid.
�Well bye� he said then ran off. She rolled her eyes, he had apologized so many times before! It never meant anything to her though. This was going to be a long lonely night for her.
The fast songs seems to last forever, and the slow songs wrenched at her heart as if someone was stabbing her over and over again. She�d scream at the top of her lungs, and no one cared, no one noticed, she was just Elizabeth McGee, friend of Olivia Cortez, Elizabeth McGee, the one who hadn�t smiled once in a week, the one who was out to hurt everyone because she wasn�t happy herself.
Heartache had killed the happy girl she once was, love killed her youth, she trusted someone with everything she had, her heart, and it had been broken like glass, as if she was a rare piece of crystal that was over looked, and accidentally knocked off the dinning room table.
She uncrossed and re-crossed her legs hearing another slow song coming on, but then, she recognized it. The song that hurt her most when she was alone and upset. �I Can Love You Like That�
She got up and was heading for the door, she couldn�t take that! That was to much, she was lost and alone, as if no one cared for her in the world, she mattered to no one!
�Lizzie!� she heard a familiar voice say cutting into the music. She turned around looking to the stage. Chris was standing there, decked out in a tux and everything! It brought tears to her eyes, maybe he did care! He then stepped down and started to sing, such sweet words to her.
�I just don�t understand, can�t help the way I feel, it�s crazy but it�s true, oh, oh, cuz when I touch your hand, I know this feelings real tell me are you feeling it too!� he said walking up to her and taking her hand with his free hand, the other holding a microphone to his mouth.
�I know your scared to show you care, just let me show you how, can�t you see what you mean to me, your all I need right now! I just want someone to hold me tonight, oh oh, yeah yeah, somebody who�s holdin� me tight, oh oh, well well, alright, Can�t say I know for sure, can�t say we�ll never part, never gonna let you go, mmm, you�ve heard it all before but listen to your heart, give me all you�ve got and more, just hold me now and say you�ll stay, your mine tonight and then say you�ll never go away, this night will never end!� he sang, she couldn�t help but smile, he wrapped his arm around her waste singing.
�I want to get together with you! Oh with every beat of my heart! I�m on fire, what can I do? I just want someone to hold me tonight, oh, yeah, somebody who�s holding me tight, oh, well, well, I just want someone to hold me tonight! Oh, somebody who�s holding me tight, oh, well well, somebody loving me, somebody holding me!�
�I just want someone to hold me tonight!� he finished, in a speaking fashion. �I love you Chris!� she said in tears throwing her arms around him happily, her dreams had come true, her prince charming had come and rescued her!
�I love you too Lizzie!� he said while hugging her swaying back and fourth.
�They read you Cinderella, you hoped it would come true, that one day your prince charming would come rescue you� Chris smiled �May I have this dance?� He asked politely. �Yes you may!� she said as they walked out onto the dance floor together, and they became the only two in the world.
The only things moving, the music was so faint now, just staring into each others eyes. Swayin back and fourth, side to side. And it was true, all their friends were right, they were meant for each other. She buried her head into his chest and held him close, she wouldn�t let him go this time! Never!
