Loving You. . .

Special nights

"Love is a strange frack magic." Atticus

The entrance is a long hallway that shows the garden and at the end of the hallway it's the ballroom. I am standing in the hallway looking at the garden, I am mesmerized by it, it's like in a dream. There is long fountain in the middle of the garden and on one side there is a band of Jazz playing and a dance floor surrounded by tables. Little lights are hanging above it all, making it look like stars. I get closer, wanting to get a better look at it all.

"This is beautiful." I can't stop looking at it.

"I know. A dream." I turn to Cassia. We are all here with no dates. It's Cassia, Lissett, Valerie, Claire, and me.

"Let's go walk around. Get to enjoy it all." I take Cassia's hand. We walk into a passageway that leads to a carriage.

"Would you girls like a ride." A man in a blue suit asks us. "It's part of the theme."

"We would love to." I drag the girls into the carriage.

"Does this make you feel more like a princess, Princess Mia?" Cassia smiles at me, she knows how I like to be a real princess. "I haven't seen you this happy in so long."

"I am happy. This feels like a dream. I am in a beautiful dress on a horse carriage."

"All you are missing is a prince." Lissette comments.

"Shut up Lil, no princess needs a prince. All she needs is a crown." Cassia glares at Lissette.

"Or a dark lord? Wouldn't you want that, Mia?" She smirks. The horse has stopped and we are back at the entrance.

"Thank you!" We all say at the same time as we get off the carriage.

"Let's go dance!" Lissette takes a hold of my hand and drags me to the ballroom.

As we walk into the ballroom 'I want you to know' starts playing. We start dancing and I'm enjoying every minute of it. I never want this to end, the music, the laughters, the energy, I love it!

We have now been joined by one of Claire's friend, he is cute and a total gentlemen. 'Earned it' starts playing and everyone in the room starts looking for a partner.

"Val take Mia to dance." I turn to Cassia, shock written all over my face.

"Come Mia let's dance." He takes me to the center of the dance floor. He puts one hand on my waist and he takes a hold of the other one. I am in shock but some how I manage to rest my hand on his shoulder. Right when I hand touches his shoulder he brings me closer to him. My heart starts beating really fast and my mind starts to panic. Don't touch me! I don't like to be touched. God help. Calm down Mia, you are just dancing he won't hurt you. Focus on something else. I start to listen to the people around me trying to forget about Val.

The couple on the right side of us is having a conversation about her friend.

"Where is Gabrielle?" I here the guy asking the girl.

"Oh she is not coming. The guy she has been seen wasn't coming so she decided to stay with him. I think they are going on a date." I don't know why but I start getting this gut feeling like if something bad is happening.

The songs stops playing and they start playing 'All of me'. Oh God, I need to throw up! I push myself away from Val and I run out of the room. I make my way to the toilet and all the food that I ate makes its way out. I need to go home. I grab my phone and I dial Alex, please answer!

"Mia. I can't talk right now. Call me back later." He sounds breathless.

"Please Alex, I need..."

"I can't. Bye." And the line goes dead.

"What's going on? Are you back at it again?" I see Cassia at the entrance on the restroom.

"What? No. I think I have a bug or something."

"Want me to get you something to drink and you can sit down and wait until it's over. There is only half an hour left." She takes my hand and leads me to a table. "Sit here and wait, then we will leave." She goes to the drink bar and gets me orange juice and hands it to me. She sits down next to me and looks at me with a worried expression.

"Have you and Alex done it?" She asks me. Where did that come from?

"What?"

"Have you had sex with Alex?"

"Why do you want to know?" I am taken back by here boldness.

"Because if you have, maybe it's not a bug, an you are pregnant." What?

"I can't." I look down at my hands. "He will hate me more, I will destroy his future." Tears are sliding down my face as I think about his rejection. I wipe the tears from my face. "And besides I wouldn't want it to mess mine up too. God forbid, I. Will. Get. Rid. Of. It."
