Chapter 29

"Wait there!" I said to Harry. I ran upstairs and found my dress awaiting me. I took it gently and stepped into it, pulling the glossy material up over my body. I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair wasnt done and my makeup was half done! I sat down at the mirror and fiddled about. A knock came to my door.

"Holly? Hey are you not at the art exhibition?"

Holly looked down.

"Im here to help you with your hair, your dad says you need to be leaving."

I wondered why she had avoided my question. She then motherly took a brush and stroked my hair. She told me to close my eyes. She only took a couple of minutes but when I opened my eyes I stared in disbeleif. It was amazing! She had twisted my hair at the back and two little plaits at each side of my head led to the twist. I got up and hugged Holly tightly. She smiled sadly. I put her out of my head I was going to West Barren High dance with the cutest guy ever.

I ran downstairs and called to Harry to close his eyes. When I walked into the hall he opened them, I gave a twirl for him and he kissed me softly on the cheek and fave me a corsage for my wrist.

"You look amazing." He whispered.

I looked down at my corsage it was a turquoise rose. I smiled he knew I would wear this dress. Dad said goodbye to me with a strange strained expression on his face. He was queit and Holly was absolutely silent and she kept looking at her feet. As I left I quickly looked back to see Holly burst out in tears and Dad hug her gently and then the door closed and I felt weak. Had something happened to Peter?

Harry told me to put everything out of my mind but I couldnt. I laughed reservedly as we hopped on a bus.

"Hey you have me to protect you now."

I tried to laugh but I was worried sick.

I kept fumbling my thumbs and biting my lips. Harry quickly kissed me.

"Dont worry nothing has happened this night is about me...and you."

I looked at him strangely. He almost said this night was just about him. I shoved everything to the back of my mind.

West Barren High. My heart lurched as we approached the hall. We were so close to Blue and Matty now. Harry and I walked in hand in hand everyone stopped and glared at us. Harry grinned and lifted his eyebrows to some football players. I looked around the room at a lot of familier faces. People smiled and said hello to me as we walked across the dancefloor. I noticed a couple sitting at a table with their heads down. I didnt have to guess who they were.

"Lets sit over there." I said into Harrys ear and pointed to where the couple sat. We went and took our seats. Blue looked up slowly at me and looked straight back down.

"Im sorry." She murmered and looked across to Matty.

"It just happened and Im sorry you had to see it." She seemed to flare up then. She stood up and her chair screeked across the floor. Everyone seemed to stop and stare at us.

"But why did you run? When I needed you most?" She said raising her voice.

"You know you cant run from everything Bloom if you do that in life you will end up alone."

I looked down to Harry.

Blue looked from Harry to me and rolled her eyes.

"You dont see it do you? You think he LOVES you dont you?" I glared at her. Harry said nothing.

"Well he doesnt." She said patheticly.

"The minute you were gone he was dating other girls!"

I looked at Harry. He stood up angrily and glared at Blue.

"You know nothing ok? From the one who is dating Matty WHILE he was dating Bloom."

"They werent dating they were figuring things out." Blue shouted.

"So you decided to figure things out for them? Just stop Blue. Why are you pushing us all away."

Blue grabbed her bag and stormed out of the room. I followed her. I needed to see if she was ok. I didnt mean to cause that. This was meant to be one of the best nights of my life. I shouldnt be selfish did I not know something like this would happen? Sure, we never textef eachother or anything since I moved. She was obviously really upset that I left her. I hadnt known Indigo had died. Blue had told me she was all right! I found Blue sitting on the bench where I remembered her giving me the Ellen cake. I sat beside her and stroked her long golden hair. She pushed my hand away.

"I didnt know." I whispered.

"Of course you didnt! You didnt exactly keep in touch!"

"Neither did you! And you told me she was fine."

"Hey Im not the one who got up and left."

"I didnt.."

"What do you mean?"

"My dad came for me. He took me that night but its ok because he has changed and he is much more fit that mum to look after me."

Blue smiled a small smile.

"Your mums not doing so well."

She was opening up.

"Look sorry I said Harry doesnt love you. He obviously does. He tracked you down you know?"

"Thats weird."

He tracked me down?

Blue nodded. She gave me hug. We both said sorry and went back to the hall. The dance was in full swing. Harry took my hand and led me to the dance floor. I dont remeber anything else only we danced all night long.
