It's Latin

*Sam's Pov*

It seemed to take forever to dig through my closet for the dress I knew my dad loved most on me. Whatever I can do to make tonight easier, I thought lightly. not really paying attention to the mindless jabber of my closest friend. I hate the way my nerves were pushing to take over my whole mindset. I checked my phone for what felt like the hundredth time before unlocking it finally.

I was trying to be cute, but no you had to ruin it ;)

I left it at that chuckling slightly as I collected the dress and heading into my bathroom. Turning the hot water on I evaluated the makeup that was laid out on the counter. ready for me to use them. I could already tell the colors would be subtle enough to make a good impression later on. Sliding under the hot water i allowed myself to fully relax for the first time since breakfast. I hadn't expected Christian to give me those things back, but now that he did I knew it was fully over. no more worrying about it, no more hating myself for leaving stuff in another country, and no more bad boy blues. I had to admit that it felt good to have control over my situation again. After dragging myself out of the shower I did my make-up before sliding on my dress. Evaluating myself in the mirror I smiled at my reflection. 'this night better go well.' i thought harshly, not wanting anything to ruin my current mood.

"Sass! Liam's here!" Tyler called as I was leaving my room.

"Great timing Li," I greeted making my way down the stairs.

"I'd say so, and don't you look gorgeous." he smiled taking my hand. "so tell me what do you want me to do?" he asked once we were alone in the entryway.

"well we have two options. lay it all out there to my dad," i took a breath before continuing. "or we could just plain put on our best show."

"how do you want me to act?" he laughed already knowing the second one was the way to get this night over with fastest.

"like you're still crushing on me."

"oh so normal." he smiled taking my hand.

"i guess so." i tried hiding the smile that played on my lips as we walked down to the dining room.

I was definitely not looking forward to either of our 'dates' tonight. I knew Alice was going to bring up all the times I'd 'stood her up'. though in my defence I had never actually agreed to go out with her, let alone ever been single long enough. 'was I single though?' i wondered. shaking the question off I thought about Sam again. I hoped she just explained everything to her dad and that was as far as liam's part went. I hate any thought of Sam changing her mind about us. as I finished buttoning my shirt i heard my phone vibrate.

I sent my message as i made my way to my car. The drive seemed to take longer than any before. I guess i was dreading this more than i expected. The walk to her door was quick but awkward. My heart beat into my throat as i knocked on their front door.

"Harry?" Alice opened the door.

"Hi, are you ready to go?"

"When she told me you were going to take me up, i thougt you were just going to ditch like every other time." she lightly teased. 'thank god she has a sense of humor' i thought.

"well in all fairness, every other time i had a girlfriend to be loyal to." i smiled.

"and what changed?" she teased grabbing her coat.

"i'm not in a relationship?" i tried, though knew instantly that i failed.

"well too bad for her."

*Sam's Pov*

Dinner seemed to be going on without a hitch as liam and i flirted lightly, though that was no different than how we acted at school.

"so liam, how are you two doing?" dad asked motioning to us.

"what do you mean?" liam asked. i knew we had decided to play it all off as one date, but hey i don't want my dad to be mad about it all.

"are you two official?" he asked bluntly, making me choke slightly.

"oh, no. we only went out once. i think we may just remain friends honestly." liam answered hurt slightly laced in his tone.

"ok, well i give you my blessing if it leads to more." he smiled leaving the room as he always did after dinner.

"i'm glad he likes me." liam chuckled to me as i led him back to the front door. "i'll see you at school tomorrow."

after i saw him pull away i rushed upstairs.

*Harry's Pov*

i had to admit, this was one of the best nights i'd had in a while. Alice was amazing, she even laughed at the stupid jokes i came up with. on the ride back to her house we shared stories of her grandmother.

"i'm so sorry she does that!" Alice laughed.

"yeah but if she didn't come in every week, then i'd never had actually gotten to know you." i smiled.

"well i'm glad you finally manned up and took me out."

"hey i was man enough, i just always had a girl on my arm."

"well good night mr. ladies man." she chuckled walking up to her front door. i watched as she waved to me before i made my way back home. before too long my phone vibrated from the passanger floor board. i let it ring as i thought about tonight again. i had no clue why it was constantly vibrating. it was probably mum wondering where i was, but i'd be back before curfew so it didn't matter. I finally looked at my notifications as i walked into the house.

4 missed calls from Latin

'Shit!' my brain screamed at me. how could i have forgotten about calling her? i knew she wouldn't have called back to back, so i knew this was bad. i unlocked my phone quickly before trying her number. i listened to her voice mail start to play, i quickly hung up and called again. i must have heard her voice mail start at least 10 times before she must have shut her phone off. 'damn i've screwed up bad this time' my brain sneered, before i finally gave into sleep.
