Forbidden Love

S O L E I L

I am panicking.

Prom is in two hours. Am I ready? No. Have I started getting ready? NO.

My dress is all ready though and hanging on my door. I am going to hang myself too.

I take a deep breath. One. Two. Three. F-

"Soleil!" My brother yells.

I close my eyes, taking a deep breath. "What is it?"

"Are you ready?"

"No." I yell.

"Seriously? Come on, man." He groans. "The venue is thirty minutes away and we've got to take pictures. West is going to he here in thirty minutes. Have you started yet?"

"No." I mumble.

"Oh my fucks."

"Stop stressing me out! All you've got to do is put your stupid suit on." I mutter.

Times like these are why I wish my mother was still alive. I tune out Lucas, put music on as loud as I can and start my makeup.

It goes like a roller coaster but I end up loving it. I went with a natural look. Thank fucks for YouTube.

I curl my hair, put my dress on and finish it up with jewellery.

I stare at myself in the mirror, sighing. I looked great. Very great. It just was upsetting that my mother wouldn't be here.

She was supposed to be here. For prom, graduation but she missed it all.

I had gone with a black dress with a slit. A classic, I know. But it was all I could afford.

I walk out and head down to the living room, finding my brother and father talking.

Both look up and I laugh as their mouth flies open. My father stands up, smiling. "You look beautiful, sweetie."

"Thank you." I smile.

"Your mother would've been so happy to see you both looking so handsome and beautiful." My father sighs.

"You look nice. Kind of." Lucas shrugs.

I smile. "You too."

"Alright, pictures." My father says, taking out his camera he keeps.

We take probably a million pictures, West arrives and we take a few with him too until it was finally time to go.

"Alright, have fun. No drinking, no smoking, no drugs, no sex, understand?"

I hum. "Sure, dad. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Alright, bye kids." He waves and Lucas pulls out of the driveway. I stay on my phone until we finally arrive to the venue.

He parks and the three of us head inside. It was a very fancy event. They spent a lot of money on this one, definitely. As we're inside, it was already full.
