Chapter 43

*Jack's POV*

My hands, my body and my legs were wobbling and I couldn't control my balance.

Harry had his arm around the back of my neck and give me a reassuring smile.

Oh god..here we go. I watched the judges looking around the hall, searching for someone?something? I don't know.

The silence came back alive, louder than before as the headmaster walked back to the mic and hold out a piece of paper.

"Hoo-kayyy" he hold onto the 'ay'. "So, may I ask the Queen and the king come back onto the stage please"

Attention were focused on me and Rose as we made our way up onto the stage.

Standing next to the headmaster on one side and Rose on the other we looked down to the crowds. Why was funny because you can't really see anyone. It was pitch black.

"So, here we've got Jack as the King and Rose as the Queen. Now, only one of this two have to be changed and that is..." He paused to build the suspense that we obviously don't need.

Well..I don't.

"Rose Colton" he continued as the crowd were shocked by the result. Rose eyes were widen in horror "now Miss Colton, I'll take the crown back because it deserve to Miss.....Erika"

Gasps were echoing after one another. I was shocked too. How did she win over the 'queen bitch' in this school?

Wow this is interesting. Rose angrily stump her way down the stage and back to her group of friends.

"Where is Erika?" The headmaster bring back the attention, looking over the 'invisible crowds'.

*Erika's POV*

"Nonono..I'm not going out because I know that Zack will find me. Things are never going to be fine alright! It never had and never will!" I clenched my fist and banged it against the sink.

I looked at my reflection on the mirror. My make-up's are now ruined with tears still running down my cheeks and Rose hugging by my side.

"Alright then..let's go home shall we?" Jane asked patting my back.

I washed up my make up and apply a simple contour with a dark matt brown lipstick "alright..let's go" I said packing my make-up back inside my little purse.

"Congrats Erika!!! I knew you would win and beat that son of a hell Rose Colton. That bitch deserve it! You should've seen her face. Oh BTW, they're waiting for you outside" Kayla; a girl from my science class who is also a nice, kind and sweet person spit out statements at me.

It took me quite some time to take in the information that was thrown at me.

Shit! I won? For real?

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Rose dragged us outside and pushed towards the staircase "go" she waved me off.

I watched my steps and tried my best to not tripped over my dress. Making my way there, Jack was standing tall and straight,wearing his card box crown but yet, he still looks amazing.

As I reached my destination, applause were thrown at me. I couldn't stop smiling, it was a miracle. All those bad memories were taken away and locked in prison, away from me. For good.

"May I announce, Queen Erika and King Jack" the headmaster grabbed our hand and raised them up in victory. He released us and we made our way downstairs.

"Hold up" Jack mouthed as he lend his hand over for me to take which I politely accept.

We walked down the stairs like a proper king and queen. God! Why is this so cliché. Can this get any better?
