*trigger warning, mentions of r*pe, SA, SH and abuse*

A few weeks had past since the accident and that put me at the 7 months pregnant mark and as each day progressed the more my worrying progressed aswel, but the reassuring from sophia certainly helped with everything in general. One day I was just chilling in my room watching TV when sophia came in with a gorgeous jade green dress still wrapped in the plastic.

"Wow that dress is beautiful." I said gawking at it.

"Right, I loved the color and I knew this was the one." She said taking it out of the wrap.

"But what's the occasion?" I asked pausing the TV.

"This is for an event I was invited to attend for the evening in a few weeks, but a funny little thing happened and you were also invited to." She said smirking at me.

"Wait really?" I asked stunned, I've never been invited to anything in my life.

"Yeah you were, they want you to come as a special guest as your story really had an impact on them and they wanted to see you and hear you in person, now you do not have to go if you don't want to but.."

"No I wanna go, this sounds fun like people wanna hear me for once in my life, il do it." I said confidently.

"Well if that's what you want then let's find you a dress." She said smiling.

We went to a boutique and I got fitted for a dress that would actually fit me on account of my huge belly, it was a black sparkly strapless dress with a slit in the skirt and let me tell you when I put that dress on I felt like a million bucks, I truly felt beautiful in that moment and I felt like nothing could stop me.

"Oh my god Diana honey that dress was made for only you, you look gorgeous." Sophia said as I came out of the dressing room.

"This is the one, I'm taking this bitch home." I said fiddling with the skirt, sophia laughed at my remark.

We eventually made it home after getting everything I needed for my night out, I got silver sparkle kitten pump heels that match the dress as I couldn't wear stiletto heels given I was pregnant, I had my makeup covered as I knew what I was doing when it came to that. 3 weeks went by in an instant and before I knew it it was time for the big gala, that day flew by and the evening soon fell on us, as the afternoon sun turned from warm to sharp that was our cue to get ready, I slid into my dress and got my makeup all done, I had harsh black eyeshadow and holographic glitter fanning outwards starting from my tear duct, I felt like I was the one to steal the scene and it felt amazing to be finally able to feel those feelings.

"Oh Diana you look beautiful." Sophia said to me as I walked down the stairs, I gawked at her as she stood there, the jade green dress, her curls, everything just made my heart flutter as her beauty radiated over to me.

"I actully feel pretty, I actually look pretty to." I said as I stared at myself in the mirror.

"Hey look at me". She said placing her fingers under my chin, I closed my eyes and craved her touch as I listened to her speak.

"sweetie you already beautiful without the dress, what you are on the outside doesn't define who you are on the inside, this is just a dress, I see someone with a beautiful heart and a kind soul beyond the dress." Sophia said cupping my cheek, I opened my eyes and just stared into hers and I never got lost in someone's eyes like I did hers.

"Thank you." I said.

"Now let's get your hair sorted out, now wanted a high curly pony tail right?" She asked getting her curling iron out.

"Yeah I figured that would look cute." I said.

"Oh that will look cute, especially on you." She said smiling.
