Jen POV

Today, the school has set up a Christmas party. I don't really want to go, as usual, so I decided to just stay at home and watch Netflix.

Since Josh told me that I am his a few days ago, I was a little taken back and scared. I didn't know what he meant by I was his. My fear subsided when he started acting differently to what he did everyday. Now, he would come to my driveway everyday before school and kisses my cheek or hugs me from behind. I didn't like it, but I didn't hate it either.

That's the only thing that has changed in my daily routine, school is the same. Bullying, protecting myself, crying and then heading to the library where Josh is.

I am laying on my bed watching TV when there is a knock on the door and my mom's head peeks into the room. 

"Hey Jenny Lou" she smiles

"Hi mom, did you need anything?" I pause the TV

"I just wanted to know why you don't want to go to your school Christmas party?"

"Oh, I don't know, I just don't feel like going" I reply

"Jen, you should go. It will be fun, once you leave school you will regret not going to these events." My mom convinced

"I don't know. I don't feel-" My mom cut me off

"Please Jen? For me?" she pleads

I thought about it, my mom always wants the best for me. So I finally concluded that I should go.

"Okay" I sigh

"Yay!" she exclaims, "wait, I have an outfit for you"

My mom rushes downstairs to get my outfit that she has bought. After a few minutes she comes back upstairs with a bag in her hand.

"Here" she hands me the bag, "Change into it quickly!"

"Alright"

She walks out to the room, leaving me to change by myself. I take the outfit out of the bag, it's a sweater dress and apparently the party is formal, so this is perfect.

I quickly change into it, and slightly curl my hair, leaving it down. I call my mom back in.

"OH MY GOD JEN!" she screams enthusiastically, "You look amazing!"

"Thank you" I blush

"Come on! Hurry up, it's almost time" she says

I quickly walk downstairs then put my shoes on.

"Bye guys" I tell my family

"Bye"

My mom decided to drop me because she doesn't like me driving in the night. We soon reach school, and I wave her goodbye.

I make my way to the sports hall where homecoming was. I can hear the Christmas music playing, and I pray to myself again then walk in.

I feel awkward because people came with dates, and I have come alone. I make my way to the food table because I am starving!

"Hey" I hear someone say from behind me, I turn around and see Josh.

"Hello" I smile shyly

"You look very beautiful" he compliments

"Thank you" I blush
