Soooo.....Its been awhile..... PLEASE DONT HATE ME. Ive been busy and havent had any inspiration and thats why no chapter has come out. But please tell me if you like this chapter or not. I would really appreciate it.
There comes a time in your life when something changes. When you transition from being a child to a teen to an adult in the real world. Even when surrounded by hundreds of people, your life still remains beige, and your smile is always faker than the love you get from those around you. With a void inside yourself with nothing to fill.
Even though I was staring at myself in the mirror in a dress that was tailored to my body and my makeup was flawless, I somehow felt less than myself. I was meant to be giddy with anticipation. I knew that, and I knew that as a teenager, I was supposed to be excited for the night of all nights, but I stopped being a teenager mentally years ago.
I walked down the stairs with a blank expression, my lips sealed tight and my revolver slid stealthily into the belt holster strapped to my waist. Tonight, no matter what happens, it's all about the boys and keeping them safe. I'm not going anywhere and I'm not crossing any lines except the ones that pertain to my career. My work is the only reason I'm here, and that's it.
In my 18 years of life I never imagined this to be the way my Prom plays out , but i guess the world works in mysterious ways because this was the chance I was left with. The fact that I had made it to the bottom of the stairs had alerted the rest of the gang. When they noticed me, their heels clicked and their show shoes came to a halt. Colton, Theo, and Sailor were stunned that I had gotten out of bed at all today.
Let alone got ready to go to a school dance with the state I was in. Colton took a step forward, but I stopped him with a hesitant hand, that said 'Now isn't the time for confrontation.' I started heading towards the garage where our car for the night was parked without saying anything. We were driving ourselves in a glossy black Range Rover to avoid drawing too much attention to ourselves.
I can feel it in the pit of my stomach that something was going to happen. I dotn know to whom it would happen to, or what was going to haoppen but I keew it would be an eventful night.
"Ok whos ready for Prom night" Theo said with a very chipper voice trying to lighten the mood and everyone just kinda looked at him with a 'seriously' kind of look. "Jeez no need for the overwhelming response" he mumbled under his breathe makign me crack the smallest of smiles. But nit small enough becuase Colton was giving me a longing smile saying that he was happy I was still feeling anything at all.

The drive to the hotel where the dance was hosted was quiet and quick. No one had the confidence to speak up about the elephant in the room, which happened to be myself. I hadn't spoken to anyone in like 48 hours, and that had everyone on edge.
Everyone stared at us as we walked out of the car like royalty. I know we look good but seriously I need some privacy sometimes. I watch Theo and Sailor walking hand in hand and try and decide what I'm going to do with myself for the rest of the night. Before I thought twice I called out to the person I needed to talk to first.
"Colton!" i yell out as I see him entering the building and his eyes go as wide as saucers. He's clearly shocked Im speaking let alone to him of all people. He runs over to me and panick is set in his eyes.
"What? Whats wrong?" he says panicked clearly thinking something was wrong or we were in danger. I take a deep breathe and decided to keep talking, cause If I didnt thrat would be hella awkward. Like I call him over jsut to say nothing.
"I just want to remind you that if you see anything strange, come to me; if someone attempts to talk to you or someone you don't recognize tries to talk to you, come to me; and if you can't find Sailor or myself, hide because something is wrong. Okay?" I say this in order to be as transparent as possible.
He seemed dissatisfied that this is what I want to discuss, but I understand. We had a lot of things to talk about, but I wasn't ready to do it yet. "Ya, I know Lyds, Sailor gave us the talk while you were getting dressed," he replies, irritated.
My heart skipped a beat as he gave me a new nickname, but my stomach sank. I can't and won't have feelings, even if it kills me, as I've previously stated. As he walks away now knowing the conversation was over it hurt. He was never mine but losing him right now is breaking my heart.
As I myself walk into the establishment I never did notice the group of kids staring at me and Colton with dead looks in there eyes. I was too caught up to notice the smallest ones belt holder sticking out which clearly showed the outline of the gun. And my heart was too broken to notice that they all had smiles on there faces.
The world stopped breathing this night, cause it knew the one thing Lydia didnt.
Tonight was the night it changes everything.
