AUTHORS NOTE

BTW I have no clue how long my book is going to be. I am just going with the flow so when I get near the end, I'll let y'all know but don't worry it's miles off yet aha.

And you guys have heard this song before in my previous chapters but it's now Blaire and Jaxon's story. I feel it suits the ending very well hehe.

Also a lot of images in this chapter.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

A couple days after the rooftop hangout, it was the day of the ball. 

Everyone, myself included, have been really tense and kind of dreading this ball. No one dares to mention the fact that my 'father' will be coming.

Jax's bullet wound healed completely so he was back to training and out on jobs in no time.

Unfortunately, Xander's face has healed but he has a slight bruise here and there. I ran into him yesterday, when Jax let me cook myself some food in the kitchen.

Let me tell you, when me and him made eye contact I was holding Jax's hand for dear life. He told me it was going to be okay because Xander can't afford having another damaged face, especially around his 'friends' at the ball.

But I was still staying as close as possible to Jax as I could. I am still a bit scared of Xander.

After mine and Jax's moment near the elevator after the hangout, it was never mentioned. Jax has been at the training room all week and Josie took me dress shopping. Of course with too many bodyguards then necessary. Jax gave me his credit card and said 'don't worry about the bill'. 

I picked out a few dresses and some dresses that Jax would probably drop dead to see me in.

Josie helped me narrow it down to 2 dresses. But I just bought both because she said at some point there would be another ball.

One is red and the other is green...yes I know both of mine and Jax's favourite colours.

Right now, me, mom, Lili and Josie are all getting changed in my room since its one of the biggest ones. 

There is makeup scattered across the counters in the bathroom, dresses, tights, heels and wigs (we don't ask about the wigs) slung on the floor and my bed. 

My sofa is covered in a selection of different coloured purses, bags, pouches...the lot. My room is just chaos right now. 

It's currently 11:33am and Josie is doing my hair. No one has even gotten ready, changed or any of the sorts. I'm apparently the first one. 

My hair is long, brunette and wavy so Josie shouldn't have any problem styling it. 

An hour later, I'm done and now she does Lili's hair. I sort out my makeup because I don't want anything drastic on, mom helps me with my eyeliner.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

After everyone has sorted their makeup and hairstyles, we help each other get into out dresses. 

It is currently 3pm. We have to leave at 5pm. I know we don't have a lot of time but since Jax's Mafia is kind of the 'host' of the gala, they have to arrive early to make sure everything is to their needs. Meaning me, Lili and my mom have to go with them.
