His Dark Side

Four

"What we see mainly depends on what we look for."

Two weeks have gone by and I haven't seen Alex since he came into my room and am blessed that he hasn't. Everything is pretty much going fine with my parents, they haven't done anything to me after that horrible night and that's because I was mostly home the whole weeks.

The alien feelings that I had before for Alex is gone and I couldn't be anymore grateful for it.

But the rules today will be different, after all some hours later it's my birthday. I'm turning 21 tomorrow and to celebrate my birthday, Nat and I are going out to party hard. That's what she said.

It's 9 in the night so I decided to quickly get dressed. I decide to wear a black tank top and denim jeans and tied my hair in a French braid and wore a black cap to cover my face and wore my favorite black pair of converse.

I've already made arrangements of how to escape from my dungeon.

My room is in the second floor so I'm gonna have a little trouble going out of here through the window without breaking my leg from the impact of falling and so I've already tied my bed sheets to the bed and by that I came down so that I'll be having support if I fall. All thanks to my girls scout training. It does really pays off.

At last I came down. I took a deep breathe and ran as fast as I could. I finally reached my friends house. Her family is really good.. they're always kind towards me. Why can't my family be like this? I can feel my heart tightening as I feel the pain how alone was I till Natasha came in my life she's the only friend I have.

"Hi babe!" She comes running out her house pulling me into a tight hug. "Happy birthday." She says while kissing my cheeks. Nat was wearing a red lacy dress which stops above her knee and she matched it with black stilettos and her silky blond hair was open, spread across her back.

I'm totally underdressed.

"Hey." I smiled at her.

She frowns and stares at me for a minute, eyeing me up and down. "What are you wearing?"

"Jeans and tank top." I frown back at her. "Why?"

"It's makeover time, girl." Before I can reply she was dragging me inside her house to up the stairs to her room.
While going I waved and offered a smile at her parents who were watching TV in the living room together.

"That's totally not needed." I said finally when I was sitting on Nat's bed and she's in her closet, I could hear the sliding noise of the hangers against the metal tube on her closet.

"You're wrong." She exclaims and comes out of her closet holding a beautiful black backless full lacy sleeve dress, and which has a cut at it's left side. This dress was really beautiful!

"Nat, I can't.." I sign.

"You have to, or else I won't talk to you." She grins at me as she points me to sit down on the chair in front of her mirror.

I roll my eyes at her and eventually did what she told me.

I opened my clothes and wore that sexy dress. I was glancing at my back wide eyed in the mirror of Nat's bathroom, this dress is exposing my back completely. But I do look hot.

I came out of the bathroom hesitantly and stood in front of her. Nat was looking at me wide eyed.

"You're looking beautiful, Eve. I swear if I was a boy—.."
