Sapphires P.O.V

It was Saturday and the day of the dance had finally come.

I had finished my shift and made my way home. It was 3:30pm and Zane was coming to pick me up after 6pm. Mia and I had picked our dresses literally after Zane had asked me. We went after school and I found the perfect dress.

It was a baby pink dress with lace arms and the top half it was lace. It was a floor length dress and I was quite excited to wear it. The best part was it covered my legs and arms, I'm not comfortable showing them and so when I found this dress I was over the moon.

I got into the house and headed straight for the shower. I stepped out of the shower and walked towards my room. I looked over to my dressing table and my bed, a 5 min nap couldn't hurt. I ran towards my bed and jumped, I closed my eyes as I laid in my towel.

"SAPPHIRE GET UP, WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING" I jumped at Mia's voice, I looked at her and burst into laughter. She was in a tracksuit with her hair in rollers and a full face of makeup.

"Nice look" She rolled her eyes as she threw her bag at me.

"Ouch" I rubbed my forehead as I got off the bed.

"It's 5pm and I have an hour to get you ready. What am I gonna do with you" Mia looked at me like she was a disappointed mother.

"You're gonna love me" I winked at her and she giggled.

"Please don't wink, how many times do I have to tell you that you look creepy"

~❤️~

Mia finally let me look at the mirror and I was in awe, my hair was a gorgeous updo with a few curly pieces framing my face. My makeup was very minimal and my skin was glowy.

I made sure to put makeup on my patches, especially on my arm as I didn't want Zane to see them. He's never seen them so I was nervous how he would react.

"Thank you so much Mia, it looks amazing, I look amazing" I laughed as she pulled me into a hug but it failed as her rollers smacked me in the face.

"I don't mean to brag, but I'm pretty good at what I do" I rolled my eyes at her, I walked out of my room to let her get ready.

I made my way downstairs and the house was dead quiet. Dad was thankfully at work and Gramps and Grams were on a dinner date. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed chocolate cookies and stuffed my face.

I pulled myself onto the island and ate my cookies in peace. I took a minute to appreciate how good these tasted.

"BOO" I felt myself choke on my cookies as I screamed. I opened my eyes to see my dad clutching his stomach laughing. When he realised I was choking, dad mode was instantly back on and he smacked my back which thankfully helped.

"Dad you can't just sneak up on someone like that" I scowled as I got off the island and headed for the living room.

I saw Uncle Mike sitting down on the sofa, when he saw me he got up. Me on the other hand ran up to his and pulled him into a hug.

"Uncle Mike, I've missed you so much"

"I wish I could say the same thing kid" I pulled back and saw that he was smirking. My dad was standing behind us laughing.

"I hate you" I frowned at him and he rolled his eyes as he pulled me into a hug.

"I'm just kidding, of course I missed my little girl" Uncle Mike always treated me just like his own, he would shower me with gifts and love as one would do for their own child.

"I don't mean to sound rude but why do you look so nice?" I laughed as him and my dad both took in my appearance. I awkwardly stood there as their dad instincts kicked in.

"I'm going to the charity ball at school" I kept it short and simple. I was hoping my dad wouldn't be here when Zane picked me up but not only was he here but so was Uncle Mike and that was a recipe for disaster.

"With?" I looked at Uncle Mike who had a curious look in his eyes, my dad on the other hand had been awfully quiet.

"My friends" He prompted me to go on and I was dreading telling them about Zane.

"I'm going with Mia" And as if on cue she walked down the stairs, she wore a navy dress and looked gorgeous. Her red hair stood out in beautiful curls, and her eyes had a dramatic wing which made her look lethal.

Mia walked over and greeted them both, before anyone could say anything the door rang. I felt my stomach drop, please don't be Zane, please don't be Zane. I walked over to the door and there stood on the other side was Zane.

I tried to signal to him to stay quiet but no he had to open his huge mouth.

"Hey babe, you look so fucking hot" I was going to throw up, I knew my dad and Uncle Mike had heard.

It was nice knowing you Zane. Before I could say anything, he made his way in. He walked with a confident stride but he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw my dad and Uncle Mike in their uniforms.

Uncle Mike walked forward first and gave a sarcastic smile to Zane. "Is this your 'friend' Sapphire"

Uh oh, I knew I was in trouble because he used my full name. I nodded my head. My dad looked at me with a hard look, he gave me a look to say introduce your little friend.

"Uh, dad, Uncle Mike. This is Zane, my friend" Uncle Mike was still supporting his sarcastic smile as he neared Zane.

"Babe, you look so fucking hot" Uncle Mikes voice was dripping with sarcasm but the tone he used was terrifying. He moved closer to Zane and pretended to dust something off his shoulder before grabbing it harshly. Zane's face paled.

"Nice suit, let's hope it doesn't get ruined if you meet with an 'accident" I saw Zane visibly gulp.

No one dared to say anything, I was scared as hell for Zane so I can only imagine how he felt. My dad walked over and stood on the other side of Zane.

"Let's get one thing clear, Zane" My dad spat his name with disgust.

"If you make my daughter feel uncomfortable or upset in any way or form you'll pay for it with your life. Understood" Zane nodded his head.

"Yes, yes sir"

"Good, because I wouldn't want to hurt you." My dad pulled out his gun and tapped it on Zane's chest. Zane looked like he was going to pass out.

"Or we might do it just for fun, I mean my hand slips on the trigger when I get a bit tipsy" Uncle Mike's sinister tone managed to freak me out. He had his gun out and started to mess with it which terrified all of us.

"Ooo" He pretended as if it slipped from his hand. Him and my dad both out laughing, the rest of us laughed nervously out of fear because of what they might do.

"Well then son I'll let you go, have a nice evening. Have her home by 10" My dad's behaviour changed into a cheerful one instantly. He acted as if he didn't just scare the life out of Zane.

"Yes sir" Zane's voice trembled and a part of me enjoyed what happened. Uncle Mike and my Dad walked off into the kitchen silently.

Zane turned to me with a fearful smile.

"Shall we go" I gave him a small smile.
