Chapter 17

Savannah

Today is gonna be hell. Today marks the 2 year anniversary of me being dead which is also the same day that the Romanoff are having their masquerade ball.

"This will be different especially since I'm not used to balls like this."  I looked at the black and red invitations that was sent for Veronica and my brother.

"But it will be worth it. Just go. Live a little. Get some dick." I looked at Veronica and shook my head while handing her the invitation back. "You can't be in a dark mood all your life."

"You must not know me V. This isn't knew to me." I walked to the bar and grabbed a bottle and drunk it.

"You should slow do Rae it's not good to take a bottle to the head like that."

"What dress are you wearing to this occasion?"

"It's black with a thigh high slit."

"Long sleeve or short?"

"Straps." I hummed and looked at her.

"Go with a deep brown and black smokey eye with a matte red with a hint of brown as a liner. Light blush no contour but yes to concealer and highlights." She looked at me with confusion. "You were struggling with what makeup you wanted so there."

I walked upstairs to my room to see my brother on my bed.

"Why in the absolute fuck are you on my bed?" He lifted his head up off my pillow to look at me and lay back down.

"I'm tired and you bed comfortably comfortable." I hummed and pushed him off and his body hit the floor.

"Damn you son of a bitch that shit fucking hurt."

"Are you dead?"

"No?"

"Then I didn't push you hard enough which means your fine." He sighed and left.

I sat up and looked at the dress that was picked out for me.....it gave Jessica Rabbit vibes which is my literal idol. The heels made the dress even better like damn I would look sexy as fuck. But I'm dead so I can't.

........Fuck it

"VERONICAAAAA." I heard her little soft footsteps come up the stairs.

"What? What?"

"I'm going but don't mention me and I'm coming a little late like way later." A smile grew on her face and she almost hugged me but I stopped her. "You better not speak to me at this function at all I don't want you to know me.....keep up the act of me being dead. Okay?"

"Okay no problem me and James will leave earlier anyway to help set up." I nodded.

"Why are you still standing there you can leave now." She made an O shape with her mouth and left.

Why did I agree to do this? I haven't been to a ball since I was 10 and even then it was to kill someone not to just relax. This is different and I'm not used to different.

It's been six hours of me sleeping which means I should now get ready. The ball started at 4 and will end at 2 am so I have sometime.

I got dressed did my makeup and walked out the house, debating on if I wanted to take the Camaro or do the motorcycle but since I'm a "lady" I decided the Camaro plus it's red like my dress.

"God this house hasn't changed since." I walked in and was automatically bummed rushed by Veronica. "What is it and unhand me now."

"I thought you honestly wasn't coming."
