Homecoming Dance (story not a poem)

You should have been at the homecoming dance. I was having a good time till I saw one of my best friends dancing with my ex! I thought to myself, how could she do this to me? We'd been friends since we were young. She knew I still had feelings for him. All I could think about was how he told me I was no longer the type of girl he wanted to be with. But yet he's with her? We're so much alike. We're practically sisters!
I make a run for the bathroom before I start to cry. Adrianna notices something is wrong and follows me to the bathroom. She asks "What happened? Why are you crying?" I reply between tears "I saw him dancing with one of my close friends. How could he do this to me? More importantly how can she do this to me?" Adri tells me "Steph, you have to just get over him. He's not coming back. I know it hurts to hear that. He's already moved on. And you should too. He's not worth your tears. I think to myself if only she knew just how much I still care for him.
After ten minutes of crying I finally decide to go back out there. I'm standing all alone while everyone around me is dancing and having a good time. I try looking for my ex again. But he's nowhere to be seen. It's so dark in here. I hate dances. Thank God it's almost over.
Suddenly I see him all the way across the room. It's like everyone just disappears and it's just me and him. As soon as I see him I start running to him. He picks me up in his arms and swings me around. He kisses me on the lips and says "I'm so sorry. I've missed you so much. I start to cry and say "I've missed you too. I can't stand not being with you. It's getting too hard for me." He says "I want you back. You mean everything to me. Please just give me another chance."I reply I'll give you another chance because I love you so much. Always and forever."
We make our way to the door to get ready to leave. We're walking hand-in-hand. All of a sudden I hear someone calling my name "Steph! Hello? Step are u there?" I ignore it. All that matters is that I'm with him and he's with me. We're going be together forever. We'll live happily ever after, I think to myself. I look at him and he looks back. We kiss passionately.
All of a sudden I hear my name again "Hello??" I snap back into reality to see Adri agitated. I say "huh?" She replies "Hurry up! The dance ended 5 minutes ago." I look at my phone to check the time and realize it's already after midnight. I ask Adri "Did I talk to You Know Who just a few minutes ago?" She says "No..." I reply "Are you sure? I swear I talked to him! We made up. We got back together. We promised always and forever" She said "Steph. I was standing next to you this whole time. You didn't go anywhere" Confused, I ask "So we didn't get back together?" She said "No Steph. I'm sorry to say that you guys didn't get back together. You're such a 'hopeless romantic'. You need to quit day dreaming about him and get over him already!" I think to myself if only I could. All we'll ever be is just a fairytale that won't be coming true.
