Hating Emilia

39

-Ethan Hernandez-

I never knew how chaotic a prom was, especially senior prom.

I'm shocked that I'm graduating honestly, I haven't told anyone about college yet, luckily my scholarship wasn't taken away.

Emilia's getting ready for prom, and I had to get a suit last minute, I wasn't planning on going, but now I am, just for her.

Just for my dove.

Alastair helps me tie the tie since I have no fucking clue how to do that.

"She better come back tonight." He says to me "I don't want to find out you took her somewhere else." He says and I nod my head

I wasn't planning on doing that with her, honestly. Cassie is in the living room with Sydney who I learned was Elijah's half sister.

Emilia's aunt is helping Emilia with her makeup for prom "what- what um, happened to my parents?" I ask

"Mysterious death." He says, short and simple, I'm not sure how I feel that my parents are dead

Part of me feels relieved that I won't have to see my father again, each time I think of him I can feel the hit to my gut.

He had also hit part of my ribs apparently, it took a while for me to breathe without being in pain.

I still can't believe he did it, and I can't believe my mother watched him do that.

I wonder if he would've gone further if she would stop him.

Hoping she would, when in reality I know she wouldn't. I just don't get.

Sure I'm a fuckup and all, but did I really need to have that happen? Did I really deserve that?

Once Alastair's done with my tie I go downstairs and see Cassie and Sydney putting cheap makeup on Cesare.

Cassie stops when she sees me and smiles coming over to me "I wanna go" she says happily "you do know you'll get to proms in highschool?" I say

Cassie's smile grows bigger "really?" She asked and I nodded she goes back over to Sydney and I wait downstairs for Emilia "how long has it been?" I asked her mother

She shrugged "I'm sure their putting the dress on now." She tells me with a small smile.

Within a few minutes I hear the sound of heels, and I turn around seeing Emilia, in a red silk tight dress that's long, my eyes trail up her body resting on her face.

Her hair is curled like she told me it would be, she looks stunning.

She walks over to me and smiles at me "you look stunning, dove." I say wrapping my arms around her waist and she smile "you don't look so bad yourself, menace" she says

I nod my head at that strange nickname she's given me, does it bother me? No, because she's Emilia.

We're now at the place the prom was being held at, and honestly it's boring. I don't want to be here, but Emilia does.

She sits next to me, talking and laughing with Eliana about whatever they're talking about.

I see her old friends staring and glaring at us, mostly Emilia and I.

Now I really don't want to be here, it's honestly so boring here.
