I'm sat in my bedroom, curling my hair. It's prom night. I'm going with Kyle Killerman. He left a note in my locker asking me. I'm excited for tonight. My dress is in its bag, hanging on my closet door. Reece tried to get me to show him, however I refused. I had my makeup professionally done. It was a nice matte, smoky eye look. It matches my dress perfectly. I mean i could have hired someone to do my hair, but I needed it exactly how I want it. I'm leaving it down for the most part with a braid crown. The crown goes across my head almost like a headband. A couple face framing pieces are left in the front.
Perfect.
I unzip the bag my dress is hanging it. Its a two piece. A halter like crop top with a floral pattern and a long plain silk skirt. All in black. Matches the black smokey eye and deep red lipstick I have on. I slip my heels on, and put on the skirt. The top next. I struggle to zip it on my own.
"Reece! Reece!" I call out so that he can help me, by he doesn't answer. I sigh. I'm not going to ask my father. So I guess I'm on my own. Wait, I wonder if Mia is here.
"Mia? You here?" I call out. I hear a knock on my door. "It's unlocked!"
"Hey Autumn, I heard you calling me. What's up?" Her raspy voice asks. Mia. My brothers girlfriend. His on and off girlfriend.
"I can't get the zipper up on my top. Can you help me? I tried to get Reece but I don't know where he is." I asked, as I pushed all my hair to one side.
"Oh, yeah of course." She quickly zips it up. And helps to fix my hair, making sure it looks as perfect as it can be. "There you go."
"Thanks Mia. Do you know where Reece is? I thought he'd want to see me in my outfit."
"No idea Aut. Sorry." I heard her reply.
"That's okay. Well that's all I needed. I'm just going to make sure everything in my bag and I'll be downstairs. Can you get the camera so that we can take some pictures so he can at least see it in photos."
"Yeah got it. Meet you downstairs." She smiles as she closes my bedroom door.
I grab my bag, its a small bag. Just enough to fit my Nokia, a lipstick, some cash, and a handheld camera. I go downstairs, which is not an easy task when you live in basically a mansion and you're in heels.
"Autumn." That voice.
"Father." I reply very monotone. Barely looking at him.
"Alright, Aut. You ready for some photos?" Mia asked me. Mia and Reece were only 3 years older. I turn 16 in August so they have both turned 19 this year.
I pose for a few pictures while Mia takes them with her camera. I made some silly face and more serious photos. All in all having fun with it.
"Alright, Aut why dont you get going, Is he picking you up?" I hear the redhead ask, originally a brunette, about a year ago she chose to dye her hair red and stuck with it.
"Oh! Yeah he is, I think I'll go wait for him outside, it shouldn't be much longer." I innocently say and I open the door. The smile I had on my face dropped as the door creaked open. Reece, my older brother, stood there holding dead flowers. "Reece? What are you doing here? Why are you holding flowers? Where's Kyle?" I started to ask so many questions. My mind was racing. Was it all a prank?
"I- Uh-" I heard my brother stutter and struggle to form words.
"It was a prank, wasn't it?" I ask him. He didn't respond. "It was.." my eyes widen in shock. I step back, and try to run but nearly trip in my heels. So I just get to my room as fast as possible. I couldn't believe it. My own brother pulled a prank like this on me.
I start to sob on my bed. I don't even care that my mascara is running. He knock on my door.
"Aut? Can I please come in?"
I tell him to go away and to leave me alone. He kept trying for at least 5 minutes before giving up.
After about an hour, I get up. Sitting at my vanity, I silently take out my braid crown and remove my makeup, not like it wasn't already ruined. You could see tear lines in my foundation. My lipstick smeared on my arm from when I fell onto my bed. I stare at the mirror. How could something I was so excited for turn out like this? I promised myself that I wouldn't let myself get like this again. Showing emotions only hurt you. Right? I don't think I can ever trust Reece again or Mia. Why didn't she do anything to stop him, or help comfort me.
I practically rip the dress off and stuff it behind a dresser in my closet. I don't want to see it. Its a hideous memory now. One I don't want to see. A memory, I plan on keeping locked.
Despite hiding the dress, I continued to cry that night. Reece tried multiple times to get me to open my door but I kept it locked. I didn't want to interact with him. No brother should play a prank like that.
A few days later, I kept hearing about it. It was the talk of the town. Kenny Killerman was attacked. No one knows who did it or why. It was unexpected. He won't share where it happened either. We know it was in our town but who and where it happened exactly, is unknown. I have a gut feeling on who it could be. However, I dont want to believe that it could have been Reece. He would have had no reason to do such a thing to Kenny. He's just a supplier for our school. So who did it? And why?
A/N: Remember Autumn is 15 years old, so i wrote her like a 15 year old, i did have to rewatch the prom night episodes however I think I got it down, it seems like Autumn didn't really understand until 20 years later, I tried to look up 2005 prom dresses and those seem to have been popular so yk- theLesbianBean enjoyyyyy here is the vision of the hair and dress I had:
