Savior

26. Dress

After two weeks, I was finally coming out of the hospital. Hunter had came to pick me up and we were now driving to my house.

It felt great to finally be free. No more nurses, no more checks.

Prom was in two days and I wasn't really exited. I had made some decisions while I was in the hospital that weren't easy to do.

I was brought back to reality when Hunter's hand touched my thigh.

"We're here." He said.

I looked out of the window to see my house. I got out of the car and grabbed my stuff before heading toward the door.

It was quiet. My mom wasn't home. She was probably still at work. I switched the lights on and walked to my bed room.

I looked around. Nothing had changed. The pictures were still there and and my bed wasn't done which meant my mom didn't come here.

My phone started ringing. I answered to my best friend.

" hey, what's up ? "

" get ready, I'm coming. "

She hung up.

" What about this one ? " Maria asked for the hundredth time.

She had been trying to find the perfect make-up for prom and thought it was a good adea to advices from me.

" I don't know anything about make-up, why would you ask me ? " i asked.

" Payton was busy finishing your dress. " She admited. " By the way, do you know what Hunter is wearing to prom ? "

I shook my head. "He said it was a surprise. "

" I can't wait to see your dress ! " she seemed more exited than me about this dress.

Don't get me wrong, Payton is very talented. But I didn't see the point in acting exited when I wasn't. I knew prom wasn't gonna be as fun for me than it would be for others.

"Yeah, me too." I lied.

I was playing with my ring while Maria was still searching for a make-up.

I looked at the small diamond placed on it. I let a little smile take place on my face.

We heard someone closing the door and both looked at each other.

" what was that ? " Maria asked.

We went to see who was there.

I heared Maria scream which made me scream too.

In front of us was Payton looking as confused as ever.

"Shit, Pay, you scared the shit out of us."

She was holding something oin her arms.

" I was just bringing your dress so you could try it on. "

Maria screamed next to me.

We went to my room and I started putting the dress on.

I got out à few minutes later.
