Neighbors (Chris Motionless)

6. Prom Night

4 Years Later

Athena Pov

"C'mon babe." Chris says, asking for my hand, also trying to bring me to the dance floor. "No, I told you I can't dance!" I whine, slightly bouncing up.

I told him a million times already. "Please, for me babe?" He pouts. I roll my eyes, "uhhh finee!" And like that, I noticed he was smirking in victory.

He pulls me close and we interlock hands, dancing to the slow music. "You're the best girlfriend ever." He whispers to me as we sway around like every other couple.

It feels to good to be a real. "And you're the best boyfriend ever." I assure him.

He then lets go of me, making me a lot confused. "What's wrong?" I question. Now he just looks plan mad. "You're a liar!" He yells, causing everyone to stop dancing and look at us.

"W-what do you mean?" I ask, anxiety of his answer strumming through my voice. "You're a liar! If I was the best boyfriend ever you wouldn't be leaving me for a stupid college!" He yells, scaring me at my lowest.

I knew this was going to happen. "No baby, please we can talk about this." He shakes his head, telling me no. "We're done, have fun at college." He says then walks out the gym. His words making me breakdown right in front of everyone.

Why would he do that to me?

"Wake up!" Nathan shouts while shaking my shoulder, making me lurch out of bed. "You were sobbing!" He tells me added with a worried expression on his face.

I feel my face and it was drenched in sweat and tears. I let a small sigh slip from my two lips and look over at Nathan who was less worried by now. "Thank you." I say in a whisper.

He bobs his head. "What we're you dreaming about?" He questions as he stands under the doorway. Chris, I was dreaming about Chris. Why? Me and him were dating! What?

I shrug my shoulders, yet I did know. He doesn't respond and closes my door.

Prom day.

Today's the day, the day a bunch of girls are getting their nails, hair, makeup done. In my opinion, it's stupid. I'm not going to get all dolled up for coming home at 10 and doing nothing.

I didn't even want to go but Chris made me. He was supposed to be in his first year of college but his dumbass got held back in 11th grade so we got to be seniors together. Fortunately, Angelo did pass.

I don't see why Chris is making me go if he's not going to be with me, he's going to be with his date, Hailey. Ew. She's so annoying. I have no date obviously, I wanted Ang to come but he had this exam thing.

Well, I guess it's time to get ready.

In my black skin tight at the hips dress, I walk down the stairs with a small handbag in my left hand. "Wow." My whole family, and Chris said, shockingly at the same time.

While feeling the blush creep up my cheeks, I walk over to Chris and give him a hug. "You look amazing Athena." He tells me once the hug broke.

Of course I said thank you. I hugged my mom and dad; they said the same thing as Chris. I even hugged Nathan. "You look beautiful." Nathan tells me.

"Thank you." I say back. He smiles. I look over at Chris and give him the 'let's go' look. He grins and nods. "Wait!" My mom yells, she holds up a camera.

Me and Chris groan at the same time. "Oh be quiet and take a picture." My mom demands, laughing. I chuckle and get next to Chris. "Get closer! You guys are best friends!" Me and Chris both blush.

I listen and get closer. He wraps his arm around my back and onto my hips while I hold onto his body. "Ok, cheese!" Chris and I smile and wait for the flash to go off.

"Okay thank you." She says looking into the camera, checking if the picture was good enough. "Bye Mr and Mrs. Walsh. Bye Nathan." Chris says as we walk out.

We walk over to his car in silence. Good silence. He opens the passenger door for me and I get in. "Thank you." I murmur as I get in. "No problemo." He then walks to the other side as I put in my seatbelt.

"I'm going to meet Hailey there. You ready?" He asks me. I am nothing close to freaking ready! This is probably the last school activity I'll get to do with him.

I still haven't told him that I got accepted to SDSU in California. I'm worried at what he's going to say. Is this why I had the dream? I don't want him to hate me for leaving but I've wanted to go there since Marla died.

She always wished to go there, I just want to make her happy and proud. "Uhh yeah." I reply after taking a brief minute to think.

Prom, here we come.
