CHAPTER SIX

The others had already left but Mattheo was still here with me. "But I wanna go to the party" I whined to him. He insisted I had to stay here and let my ankle rest and heal.

I bought a new dress, a necklace, and a bracelet for this. I'm not letting it go to waste. "Matty I bought so much stuff for this party I'm going" I say sternly.

"Fine, you're using the crutches, no heels and if I even see a second of pain on your face your back home instantly, got it" he says staring at me.

"Deal" I smiled and shook his hand. "Okay now leave, I need to get ready" I say, ushering him out. "Be careful princess" he says exiting through the door.

That was too easy. I thought he would pester me about needing to rest. I used the crutches to get to my closet. I picked up the gorgeous dress I had gotten. I carefully undress and dress myself into the dress.

Oo I looked so hot right now I loved it. I put on the earrings Mattheo had gotten for me. Sliding the bracelet on my wrist.

Damnit the necklace. I heard a knock on the door. Oh perfect, they can help me. I use the crutches to get to the door and open it up.

I'm looking down as I open it "hey can you hel-" I look up and see it's Tom. "Oh hey whatcha doing here" I smile.

"I forgot to give this to you earlier," he says, holding up the tie. "Oh thank you" I smiled and tossed it onto the bed. "What did you need help with?" he asks. "Oh uh my necklace I can't get it on" I say back with a smile.

"Turn around" he says. I hand him the necklace and turn around. I move my hair so he can clip it. I can feel him super close and I slightly blush.

Jesus, am I glad he can't see my face right now. As I feel the cold clasp touch my neck signaling it was on. I turn around, wiping the blush off my face and look at him.

"Thank you" I smiled at him. I've never realized how tall he was. Well I was slouching a little and not in heels so I guess that's why.

"Are you going to the party right now?" I ask looking up at him. "Yeah" he says back "can I walk with you" he gives a little nod. I walk out with the crutches of course closing the door behind me.

We make our way down the long halls. "Can I ask a question?" I look over and up at him. He makes a sound signaling a yes.

"Why did you help me earlier today?" I ask. "You were hurt" he replies back bluntly. "Yeah I know, but like you don't like me very much" I say back.

"I do like you, I could never not like you" he says to me.
