Octavias POV
After about a half hour of searching I sat down on one of the benches in the store.
"Phoenix, I'm sorry, but every dress we found was too big or too ugly for you. We might have to search somewhere else.", I told her when she say next to me.
"Or you can try purple?", Salliea said walking into our view holding up a purple dress.
"Go try it on Phoenix", Ronni says. Phoenix takes the dress and walks into the changing areas. Once she comes outs she looks amazing as always.

"Its a perfect match!", I told her

"Its a perfect match!", I told her.
"Really? Do you really think so?", she asked us.
"Of fucking course we do! You look fantastic. You have to buy it", Ronni told her and phoenix agreed to buy it.
"I don't want to buy my dress here.", Ronni said when Phoenix walked back into the dressing room.
"Why?", Salliea asked her.
"I already looked. There's nothing that's my style here. Plus I might not even be going.", Ronni explained.
"Why not?", phoenix asked shutting the door and walking over to us.
"Trevor is just different. Ever since the Ethan thing. I feel like he's finally had enough of my shit and only wants one more thing from me.", Ronni sighs then continues, "Before I passed out from poison or whatever I saw him with Ellen in the hallway. They were hugging. Not a friend would hug a friend way either. I saw the connection they had. It was pretty disgusting to be honest."
"What if he's the one who poisoned you?", Phoenix said, "I mean, don't tell me I wouldn't be the one surprised."
"Then he has it coming. I will do very terrible things to him.", Ronni said as we all walked to the cashier.
"Ronni, why not go by yourself like Salliea is. Better yet go with Salliea. Ain't no one going to tell you no.", I told Ronni.
"True, I can just say its a girls night and not tell him about the ball?", Ronni said uncertainly.
"Yeah go with that.", I told her. Ronni gained her confidence again and decided to go with that. We purchased our dresses and then went to another store to look for a dress for Ronni.
"What a pretty fountain!", Phoenix said looking at the fountain in the middle of the mall. We all decided to sit there for a while.
"Isn't that Gigi and Christan?", Salliea asked pointing in the direction of two people walking holding hands. Ronni calls Gigi's name and she turns around. Gigi and Christan walk up to us.
"Why are you always leaving?", Ronni asked her.
"There are some things I can't tell you.", Gigi said.
"Why not? We've all been best friends for a very long time now. Why can't you trust us?"
"All in good time, my friends. All in good time."
"Well stay with us. Are you guys going to the ball? Did you guys already go shopping?"
"Yes Ronni. We planned ahead of time. We're here just shopping around."
"Well now you can shop with us.", Ronni said ending the conversation. We all got up and went into multiple stores looking for a dress for Ronni. She didn't like any of them she tried on.
"I don't know guys", Ronni said sitting down, "maybe this is a sign I shouldn't go"
"Ronni you better go or I will cut you.", Gigi said. Ronni decided to go, but she convinced us all to get something to eat since its about 1 pm.
After eating at the food court phoenix wanted to go continue to look for a dress for Ronni, but no one else did.
"How bout you all go home and Ronni and I will stay here. We can take the subway home.", phoenix suggested.
"Fine by me.", Salliea and Gigi said in unison. We soon left the mall leaving Ronni and phoenix there alone. I hope they find a dress. Ronni is just very picky in when it comes down to dresses.
The green gate opens and I drive in slowly following behind Gigi. We park our cars and walk inside. The house is quiet. Too quiet. Phoenix, Salliea, Gigi, and Christan stay in the kitchen talking while I go upstairs to see if anyone is home. I check the fourth floor first then make my way to the second. I lean my ear against Trevor's and Ronni's bedroom door.
"I thought you said you had this under control? They kicked you out and hate you.", one voice said. I'm going to guess it was Trevor's.
"Yeah but that's not my fault. They're ugly, pathetic bitches. You have to kill her before tomorrow or the deal is off.", a more feminine voice said. Who is that?
"But why does it have to be her?!", Trevor said his voice getting angered.
"Because she's the only thing holding you back from being with me. Aw, unless you actually have feelings for her and want me to tell my boss the deal is off. He will be so saddened.",she said. Suddenly the crew down stairs starts laughing.
"They're home?", the feminine voice said. I darted into sallieas room, which wasn't that far from Ronni's. Ellen stepped out of the room. What the shit? Who is Trevor killing? What deal? Why is Ellen here?
"I'll see you Sunday.", Ellen said then headed to the back staircase and out the back door I'm assuming. Trevor shut the door and I went down stairs.

Ronni's POV
"Phoenix, I like this one.", I said. Phoenix and I are now at a bridal type shoppe. The name of it is "Bridal balls and gowns" and they don't have that bad of stuff here. There's this really cute blue one I've been eyeing and I have decided to give it a try.
"Go try it on!", phoenix encouraged me. I went to the fitting rooms and tried it on. I didn't look that bad in it. I came out and phoenix gasped.
"Ronni, you look very pretty. I have no words.", she said flattering me.
"Okay....I'll buy it.", I walked back into the changing room proud of myself that I finally found dress.

After I pay for my dress phoenix and I go to cinnabon before going on the subway

After I pay for my dress phoenix and I go to cinnabon before going on the subway.

We arrived home and as soon as I walk into the door Octavia pulls me into the living room.
"Ronni, you can't trust Trevor anymore. I don't know what exactly happened, but here's what I heard. Ellen was in your bedroom with Trevor. The door was locked shut and they were talking. They talked about some kind of deal and killing someone. A female. If he 'doesn't do it tomorrow then they deal is off' then she left out the back. I don't think confronting him about this is a good thing. Just be careful, okay?", Octavia said then walked away. Trevor is putting me j to danger and I know it. I must get rid of him.
I walk up the stairs and into my bedroom. Trevor is asleep on the bed. I grab my of my stuff quietly and go up to the third floor. I take a room that Octavia doesn't have her shit in and put my stuff in there. My stuff as in like my new dress, my brush, things like that. I don't feel safe even sleeping with him knowing he still communicates with Ellen. I walk into our shared room.
"Trevor, wake up we have to talk", I said shaking him till he wakes.
"Yes, my love?", he said sitting up.
"I know this might seem rash, but I don't love you anymore and I think we should break up.", I told him, saying my words quickly.
"But baby. I wanted to marry you.", he protested.
"I'm sorry, but I think I'm lesbian...", lie after lie. Did it hurt me? Yes. Did I have to do this? Yes. Did I want to do this? No. Who knows, maybe I'll be better without him.
"I need you out by the time I wake up tomorrow morning", I said getting up and turning to the door.
"You see babe that's going to be an issue.", Trevor said. I turned around and he had a gun pointed at me. Holy shit.
"Trevor it's just a break up. Please just calm down.", I said trying to calm him down.
"No it's not just a break up! IT'S MY LIFE ON THE LINE! IF I LOSE YOU, I WILL BE MURDERED", Trevor said yelling at me. In one quick motion I open the door and darted down the stairs.
"Everyone! Outside! Go go go go! Trevor has a gun and wants to kill!", I said yelling at the group downstairs. They all ran outside and into their cars. I was about to hope in Gigi's car when I see an unfamiliar car drive into the gates. Stella gets out of the passenger side. I run over to her and tell her to leave. Trevor's outside. He yanks phoenix out of octavias car and points the gun at her. Phoenix is screaming, crying and kicking, trying to get away from him. Not being successful.
"Ronni give yourself up and phoenix won't get hurt.", Trevor said taunting me. I walk closer to him slowly. Trying to make him stop, but in reality I'm just buying Octavia time. Octavia soon finds a rock and sneaks up behind Trevor.
"Trevor it Didn't have to be this way", I start laughing and then Octavia hits him in the back of the head with it. He falls to the ground and I walk over to his body.
"He's still alive. Aw, that's too bad.", I say and drag his body inside. I push him down the stairs into the basement after taking the gun.
"Stella", I looked at Stella, "who's that?", I asked her pointing to the guy in the car. Stella made him get out of the car.
"This is Ethan, my sorta boyfriend person thing.", Stella said awkwardly. We stood there in shock. Stella has a boyfriend and she has been hiding it. What else don't I know?
