Prom Night

Bailey's POV:

"Just let me see Bailey." My mom urges me to come out of my room after I put on my dress. "You're mom might break the door down if you don't get out there." Carmen stares at her reflection in the mirror, "I'm sweating, why am I sweating?" I question feeling my hands begin to clam up and I reach for my towel drying my arms and under my arms.

"It's because I'm hot." Carmen flips her hair over her shoulder. She's being serious about that. I pat my forehead looking in the mirror making sure I didn't ruin my makeup or my hair. "You're hot too now let's go before your girlfriend comes and steals you away for the night." She laughs but I quickly cover her mouth.

"What? pfft, why did you do that?" She asks and I point at my door motioning to zip her lips. "Oh bitch please, there's no way that they don't know that you and Skylar have a thing okay. If anything it's really clear." She lightly pats my cheek before turning back to the mirror.

"Well yeah because you see and know what we do, they don't. I just recently came out to them and if I tell them that Skylar and I are you know then they might have a heart attack." I whisper to her then we both hear a tap on my window. We look over and we see a hand waving at us.

"Well will you look at that." Carmen chuckles and I walk over opening my window and Skylar pulls herself up in her tux sitting on my window ledge. "Wow." She smiles looking at me, "Wow to you too." I chuckle holding her jaw in my hand pulling getting a kiss. "You look beautiful oh and I have one of these." She pulls away holding a clear box with a single flower.

"It's a crumpet, no, corset, that isn't right either. Fuck what did the lady say it was." She struggles to think of the name. "A corsage." Carmen says for her,

"Right that, a corsage." She snaps her fingers making me laugh and I see the matching flower on her suit jacket. "Bailey opens" the door so I can take a look at you please!" We all hear my mom's voice.

"I have to knock on the front door huh?" Skylar asks and I nod, "Okay will do and I'll pretend to act surprised, see you in a bit." She kisses my cheek before climbing back down. "She looks good in a suit, I need to get myself a suit." Carmen comments and I nod feeling my cheeks warm up.

"I know, I wish she'd wear suits more often so I can take them off." I quickly cover my mouth after what I said and I turn to Carmen who did the same thing as me. "Bailey Elle Skeels you dirty dirty girl, I think you're worse than me holy shit." She chuckles and opens my door, "Finally I thought you two died, why are you all red?" My mom waltz in and looks at me cocking her eyebrow.

"No reason." I fan my face and she nods slowly, "Anyways both of you look beautiful, I'm just happy you didn't wear jeans like your dad because that's not right but come on downstairs I need to get pictures of you gorgeous ladies." She smiles jogging downstairs and I look at carmen.

"I think someone cursed my mom." I say making her laugh and we link our arms walking down the stairs seeing my mom and dad stand with smiles on their faces and Skylar with her jaw practically on the ground, "Would you look at that you two a matching." Dad points between Skylar and me making us nod.

"It's just the theme." I tell him which Carmen and Skylar agreed. "Good observation hun." Mom says holding her phone sideways. What does she mean by good observation? "Come on get together side by side." She moves us around with me in the middle with Skylar on my left and Carmen on my right as we stand in front of a wall with family portraits.

After many pictures and absolutely zero with Skylar and me which would bother me but it's fine because we'd be alone once we get to the venue. But mom held me back as Carmen and Skylar went outside to the car.

"Be careful Bailey." She tells me holding my shoulders and I nod, "No I mean be careful with Skylar." She kept her voice low and I turn around to see my dad converse with Skylar while smiling. "What does that mean?" I ask.

"I've dated people like her, not women per se, but to say the least they aren't the best people. They're always hiding secrets and one of my ex boyfriends oh my god, I learned that he's a thief and let me tell you he had a motorcycle, didn't care about school okay, nothing changed that man and now he's jail." She rants describing her ex's like Skylar.

This is a part of my mom's life that I'd never thought I'd hear. "You see I thought that they were cool because they were all rebel like but then I learned they get themselves into bad trouble and I don't want that for you." She cups my face, this is very weird.

"Um, is there a reason that you're telling me this now and not when I was first meeting Skylar?" I ask and she looks at dad then me. "Because we did some digging and we found that she and her family has done some fishy things with their trading." She whispers. "What exactly did you find mom?" I take her hands away from my face.

"Well it's not fishy just concerning like they do trading privately." She continues to whisper. "Yeah of course they do, Carmen does the same thing with her dad, what are you trying to get out mom?" I ask and she stands straight. "Skylar isn't good for you." She simply says which hurts.

"So what's good for me mom because from what I know about Skylar, she's good for me." I tell her and she crosses her arms over her chest, "Don't fight with me on this Bailey." She says, "But I'm not fighting on you with this I just want to know why you think she's so bad for me." I really can't do this right now.

"I just know Bailey okay, let me be a mother and look out for you." She throws out but I didn't respond. "Bails come on we need to go now before the traffic picks up." Carmen comes inside and I smile at her, "Yeah right of course come on." I give one more look at my mom before joining Carmen with Skylar and my dad.

Why would she bother to say something now like she couldn't say something earlier? "Ready?" Skylar asks and I nod walking to a car similar to Sages. "Okay let's go, I'll see you later Mr. Skeels." She waves to him and we all get to the car.

Daniel's POV:

I waved to my daughter and her friends as they drive off then my wife joins beside me. "What's wrong with you?" I ask her as she stares out of the garage. "Hello earth to Elayne, what's wrong?" I ask again, what's gotten into her.

"Nothing Daniel, I just don't like Skylar that's all. I dated her kind and they're heartbreakers, she could cheat on Bailey or bring her somewhere dangerous. I swear I think I saw them kissing one time." She says and I raise an eyebrow, "You dated people like her?" I ask.

"Sometimes I think you only have two brain cells, I mean people who act all distant and grungy, I thought they used to be hot and mysterious but they had secrets and I know Skylar is hiding something I mean think about it Daniel, look at the car that she brought around just now. You think a high school senior can afford a vehicle like that, the most expensive car we've seen on school grounds is a dodge." She tells me, I do not have two brain cells.

If I did only have two brain cells then I wouldn't be a good lawyer. "So you think Skylar is going to hurt our daughter, why though? I like Skylar and she's only shown care for Bailey can't you see it?" I ask her.

"I do, I do see it, as clear as day. Something doesn't feel right in my mind about her. I don't want Bailey hurt in her first relationship with a girl and if she does then you can bet she's never leaving this house again. I've been hurt by people like Skylar thinking they can whisp me away to an unknown and keep me safe but no they played with my heart and then shot it with a gun." She takes a deep breath.

My daughter is in a relationship. "She's in a relationship?" I close the garage walking back into the kitchen as she follows. "You really only respond to one thing I tell you but she isn't going to admit it but they seem couply, I don't know I think she was lying when she said she didn't have feelings for Skylar but I'm her mother. I know things even if she doesn't know." She tells me.

How come I don't get that power. "Do you really not like Skylar because if you keep Bailey here forever then she might be the one who takes Bailey away forever." I laugh at my own joke but then daggers get sent my way. "Daniel don't push it." She says lowly and I nod. "Okay dear."
