Book lover

29

Alice, Jason and I stood at the top of the stairs that led to ball room floor.
The lights were off. But there was sparkling lights moving on the ceiling, they looked like stars.
Nobody was really dancing but more of just sanding and talking. Everyone was wear super expensive clothes. I'm so glad I didn't chose something from my closest because even my moms old wedding dress probably would work for this party. It was funny Adam didn't seem like some one that would want to have a big party like this.

Off in the dark distance I could hear a choir playing.Passed the dance floor were fancy tables, for dinner I suppose.
I saw a lot of kids from school, which made me wonder if this was the best idea.
Alice tipped me on the shoulder I turned to see a gentlemen that offered to take Mine and Alice's cloaks.
I nodded and took my cloak off. Alice smiled at me and put her hand softly on my shoulder
"It will be fun!"
I gave her a fake smile while nodding. Alice gave me a frown telling me that she knew that my smile was fake, then she turn to look at the crowd.

I look down into the dark crowd for Adam. Finally I spotted him. Adam was right down the steps by the punch table. He was looking nervously through the crowd. Every few secs he would take a sip of his cup. Even though he wasn't facing totally my way, I could tell by his super blond hair that it was him.

"I wonder who he's looking for." Alice said while budgeting me and smiling
I shrugged with confusion
"You, silly." She said
I looked back down at him and smiled could he be looking for me?
I looked over just in time to realize Alice taking Jason's hand as he lead her down the steps romantically. When I went to look back at Adam he was walking up the steps towards me. I couldn't help but blush.
"You look exquisite and picturesque, spectacular."
I giggle
"What?" He laughed softly
"Did you look those words up on google?" I laughed
"No." He laughed
"Oh." I nodded with a smile
" it was yahoo." He said while laughing
We laughed some more and my nerves surprisingly disappeared.

Adam reached out his hand.
I took it and he led me down the stairs into the crowd.

No there wasn't the typical gasp from all the kids in the crowd as I we walked down the steps with the most popular kid in school but there was whispers and a few kids pointing.
Adam looked over at me and smiled just his smile his true smile made me feel safe.

Of course with my luck right when we got to the ballroom floor a slow song started.
Adam looked at me. And new I wouldn't want to dance in front of all these people.
"We can sit this one out if you would like."
I shock my head no.
"This is your party. I want to dance."

Adam nodded.

"Well then Elizabeth, may I have this dance?"
I smiled and nodded yes.
Adam lead me to the middle of the dance floor.
He put his hand on my waist as I place mine around his neck.
But I didnt move. I don't know how to dance and what if I make a foul of my self.
I looked down.
"Hey, hey." Adam said picking up my chin.
"What's wrong?" He asked
My eyes started to fill up with tears of embarrassment.
"I an terrible dancer."

"Look, do you remember in like the 1st grade when we had that Valentine's Day party and the teacher said to dance with a partner for the year book. You were hoping Ryan would ask you but instead you got me?"
"That was you?"
"Ya that was me, and do you remember what I said to you when you said you could not dance?"
I smiled
"You said i can dance on your feet then."
I laughed
"So you do remember that day?"
"How could I for get it was in the year book as the cutest couple."
We laughed
"Well That offer still stands." Adam said
I looked down at his shoes.
"Don't worry there not expensive." He said even though they were.
I looked around at everyone don't wanting to be laughed at
"Look, it's just me and you, it doesn't matter what they think."
I smiled
"Ok"
I picked up my dress and softy placed my shoes on his.
Then put my arms around his neck. He place his hands around my waist and held me up.
Then we both swayed to the music.
I thought it would feel awkward. And kids would laugh
But...
But it didn't
And they didn't.
It felt amazing.
I could feel my heart beating really fast in my chest.
It wasn't a nervous feeling but more of that feeling when you don't want something so perfect to end.
As the song went on I laid my head on his shoulder And just listens to the music.
/////////////////////////////////////
I forgot about bill and his abuse, my mom trying to get sober, Ryan and whatever he's going though.
Bullies at school no longer existed.
It was like Adam said it was just me and him.
Why is the world so messed up but so perfect at the same time?

Weeks ago Adam didn't exist, he was known as Thomas Adam Mitchell, the amazing baseball pitcher who had the life everyone dreamed of. Now you find out 6 years of his life he was a prisoner along with his twin brother. His twin, my only friend, Ryan, I knew him to have left me alone in the world when I was little.
Weeks ago I never dreamed I would be her at a ball. I never dreamed to be this deep in love with a guy I just met, or knew when I was little but just officially met.
Weeks ago my life was turning into a 25 car pile up with me being in the first car, the car caused it all, the car that flips 3 times and catches on firer, and I stuck in it with no escape. The car that the ambulance can't reach, so I'm just sitting there crying out for God to just end my life, as my skin is burning off my body.
That was my life a few weeks ago...
Now look at me.
Sure there's still thing that aren't perfect like the fact that Ryan and that girl are still kidnapped and Adam is obviously depressed and overwhelmed.
But nobody's life is perfect right?
-------------------------------------------
Everything that you want to last for ever comes to an end it could be a book for example you think it's the best book ever until you reach the last chapter and the girls boyfriend dies whiles she watching, or you met a guy, you like him and he likes you, you spend a whole day together then when the day comes to an end you find out he lives in Nebraska while you live in Missouri.
So just like everything else the song came to an end.
I stepped down off of Adams shoes and giggled at the small dents that were left in them.
He took my hand and whispered
"See that wasn't that bad."
"Oh, it was awful." I laughed
Adam smiled
--------------------------------------------
Adam took me to his table it had a different color table cloth then the others, it was silver while the others were white.
"This is the VIP table." Adam said

There was only four chairs at the table.

"Who else is sitting here?" I asked hoping it wasn't his mom and dad

"Alice and what's his name Herbert?"

"Jason."

"But wasn't his name Herbert at one time?"

"Ya, but his real name is Jason, bill named him Herbert."

Adam took a sip of his water that was on the table.
I regretted bring up bill.
"Well that's confusing." He added

"Really? Adam and Thomas?" I said
Adam smiled
"I guess bill messed up both our names ."
"So which name do you like more?" I asked
"Definitely Jason, Herbert just sounds like a type of frog or something.." Adam rambled
"I meant out of your names." I said laughing
Adam laughed
"Ummm, when I was little I like Thomas because you know the train, but Ryan said that Adam was better because he was in the bible, and was the first man created. So I like Adam more because Ryan liked it."
Adam took another sip of his water and laid his hand on the table.
"I like it more too." I said while putting my hand on his.
Adam looked over and held my hand
I said
"We will find Ryan, I promise."
