May 30th, Prom Day

I sat on the edge of my bathtub as Ella kneeled before me, powdering my face with make up. Today was Prom, Ella and I planned to get ready together. We didn't feel it was necessary to go to any professionals or what ever. Why waste money when we can do something ourselves?

She finishes applying foundation and everything to my face. She grabs some grey eye shadow and begins dabbing it into my eye lids lightly, causing a smokey affect as she adds some lighter grey more to the inside of my eye lids.

"Are you excited?" I ask her suddenly.

"Yeah! How about you?" She asks back, apply eye showing to my other eye lid now.

"Same. It doesn't feel real. You know? We've made it this far. We are attending our Prom tonight, in a month we'll be graduating!" I trail, completely surprised.

"I know! I've been waiting for his day my entire life and now its here I just feel like its not real." She explains.

She grabs a tube of mascara and adds a few coat to my lashes.

She grabs a pale pink lip stick stick. "Pucker up." She says. I laugh and nod, puckering my lips together. She dabs the color onto my lips. I rub my lips together spreading it around.

"Alright, I'll do your make up now." I tell her, standing from the bathtub edge. She takes a seat and I begin applying foundation and contour and all those things to her face, blending them all together.

"Do you want mascara and the liner and stuff or like eye shadow and stuff?"

"Eye liner." She smiles. I nod my head and grab the small liquid eye liner, instructing her to shut her eyes.

She does and ever so slowly, I drag the thin brush along her lids, flicking the end up to a wing. I fill in places that I missed and make sure they look even.

"You're lucky I like art or else these wouldn't have turned out the way they did." I tell her, laughing afterwards. I apply some mascara to her lids and then some light gloss onto her lips.

We finish up the make up. She ends up curling my hair into perfect ringlets. I curl hers and then we pin some places up and leave some down.

She stays in the bathroom as she gets into her dress and her shoes. She decided to wear heels because she is very short. So this way she'll be relatively close to Josh's height. I decide on flats because 1- I'm clumsy as all could be. And 2- if I wore heels i'd be taller than Tyler. I'm already only an inch maybe even less shorter than him.

I pull on my flowy grey dress that is shorter in the front and longer in the back. Its a charcoal grey. Tight around the bust with some lacy jewel pattern on the top. The soft material floes down softly. Its pretty comfortable honestly, I won't be uncomfortable the entire day.

I pull on black sandel flat type shoes that actually go with the dress nicely.

Ella knocks on my door. "I'm decent!" I call out to her. The door opens and she steps inside.

"Wow." She says, eyeing me up. "Your dress looks even better then when you first got it." She says.

I blush deeply and look down at it. "Thanks." I look up at her baby pink dress. It was more girly than my own. Its pink with tons of jewels on the bust. Her heels are white, she looks like a princess.

"You look stunning." I say back. "Like a princess." I add laughing. She smiles and laughs along with me.

"The guys should be here soon.." I trail. Cue the doorbell ringing. We both exchange an odd glace at the fact that I predicted that.

We leave the room and go down the hallway. Laurie and my father sit there in the kitchen.

"You girls look great!" Laurie says, smiling at us both. I thank them for the both of us as Ella opens the door.

Standing there, both suit clad are Tyler Joesph and Josh Dun. They looked normal really, their hair was the same except Josh looks like he got a small haircut. They're both wearing some sleek, black and white suits. Josh wore a light pink tie that matched Ella's dress. Tyler had a grey bowtie on that matched my dress.

"You boys look amazing." Ella says, glancing at the two of them.

"Wow." I say, glancing up them. "You two clean up well." I reply.

"You girls look incredible." Josh says for the both of them. Tyler looks too distracted to speak. I hadn't realized by what but when I saw me was looking at me, I blushed deeply.

"Thanks babe." Ella says, pulling Josh into a hug. She kisses his cheek softly.

"Want us to take your pictures?" Laurie asks suddenly, standing up. She smiles at us kindly.

"Uh Lauris its ok-" I start off but Tyler and Josh cut me off.

"Sure if its not a problem?" Josh wonders.

"That'd be great actually." Tyler interjects, resting a hand on my back.

Laurie goes to the kitchen to fetch her camera. When she does, she gets us to stand in front of a blank wall. She takes pictures of all four of us just goofing off and one decent one where we're all smiling. She takes some cute and funny ones of Ella and Josh and then some of me and Tyler. We have time to spare so she takes some of me and Ella together then Josh and Tyler together.

"Okay, you kids be safe tonight. I you need anything call us." Laurie says in such a motherly tone. We all nod our heads and with that are out the door.

We all climb into Josh's moms car and head for the hotel where Prom will be held as well as the after party.

We arrive within half an hour and make our ways inside. It started around 10 minutes ago. The floor was flooded with dancing teens. You could tell which ones snuck on alcohol or drank before coming. Some dance and kiss each other sloppily.

I grab Tylers hand and drag him to the dance floor, moving and shaking my hips to the beat while I clutch onto his hands. He laughs and mimics me, dancing along.

I stare at him and think of how far I've come. How far we've come. We met at the beginning of this year and were close to strangers. And now here we are, dancing together at our Prom, as boyfriend and girlfriend. I have my priorities, I am no longer a sad empty shell of a girl. I'm living my life. Free of demons that used to harass my mind everyday and night.

"I love you!" I shout over the loud, booming music.

"I love you!" He shouts back, pulling me in for a breath taking kiss.
