💀chapter 1: DEVASTATED💀

Dedicated to ArielMarkham8 for being an amazing reader.Thankyou so much.

ALEX'S POV

I was so cold, scared and alone. I didn't know dying felt like this, it was like a walk through a long dark windy corridor and the scary thing is that I knew I was dying, for the hundredth time I cursed myself for falling for the prank.

Esmeralda had come over bringing me a nice dress for prom,the gown was an ankle length blood red dress,the bodice was decorated with false rubies catching the light and glittering.

From my shoe rack she decided on a feet killing gold stiletto to go with the dress anything for beauty right?.

I had decided that there was no way on earth I was going for that prom we weren't even seniors yet but any reservations I had about Emmy was long out the window.

Esmeralda being her usual vivacious person who set out and got whatever she wanted, decided she wanted to experience the excitement of attending prom before she became a senior, she got us the dates and tickets before the big fight.

I was already all wrapped up in my blanket reading a book and pigging on chocolate bars and ice cream,I had my reservations when she came over ,yes! she was my best friend but we had this big fight recently and hadn't spoken to each other for a whole month and suddenly she wanted me to come for prom?I wasn't buying it ,not one bit.

"Come on it would be fun she egged pouting am sorry about what happened I didn't mean those things I said about you being unnatural".

My jaw nearly dropped Esmeralda has been my friend since let's say I started high school and I have been friends with her long enough to know that she was proud, stuck up,bitchy and rude but worse still she never says sorry in fact she would tell you to shove your opinion straight up your ass and that very person was apologising to me so that means our friendship must have meant a lot to her just like that,I melted in a puddle and like the stupid idiot that I am ,i forgave her and unknowingly falling right into every single little thing they planned out for me.

Yes! I forgive you I couldn't contain my excitement as I accepted her apology but those words if I could I would take them back but that singular word sealed my fate. My best friend squealed at my decision and immediately ordered me to go take a shower which I did after that I was primed, prodded and prepared for the party,I felt genuinely happy for the first time in a few months, I had gotten my friend back.

After dressing me she got dressed in a sea green chiffon dress that suited her to the tee and we were on our way in an instant my movie forgotten.

My as always parents were both on a business trip leaving me home alone though I didn't mind it was more of something like a routine than anything else.

The ride to the venue was fun filled as Esmeralda kept chattering excitedly or was it nervously now I couldn't be so sure maybe it was a little bit of both.

I tried to relax and be happy and as carefree as she was but something didn't sit right,i felt a pang as if something bad would happen or something was not right but she seemed so sweet in fact too sweet for someone that wasn't on talking terms with me like just yesterday.

Then instead of listening to my head,I listened to my heart against my better judgement but then I had always been weak and pathetic if Emmy hadn't come today, eventually I would have gone crawling to her.

The fight we had for was our first big fight,I had always relied on her for protection and fun but what she did really hit home and I needed space.

Anyway that aside,There came the most interesting moment, when the handsomest guy in my class, Nate who incidentally was Esmeralda's crush kissed me and asked me to walk with him to the pool he grabbed a small flask of whisky which he had smuggled in and poured a generous amount into my punch and then poured some for himself.

I was not good at holding my liquor so I became intoxicated I kicked off my heels which had been aching since I slipped it on and spurn around giggling .

I was in seventh heaven I wanted to say no to Nate Anderson when he asked me earlier to walk with him but i thought better of it he was really nice and Esmeralda was with another drop dead gorgeous guy Adam and she swore she was so over Nate and I idiotically believed that.

When they were all gasping and swooning over my dress, I should have known it wasn't normal. But then, couldn't a girls dream come true for once?.

I thought I was finally being accepted. When, I stared into Nate's smoky blue eyes and wind tousled blond hair,the whole 6"5 inches of him,with hundred percent pure muscles, he was perfectly tanned like he spent all day in the sun which he kind of actually did.

He was the captain of the football team cliche right I know that,he was also on the swim team and a straight A student.

And he was here at this party looking down at my 5"2 frame like I was the prettiest girl at the party.

Oh my gosh I practically stopped breathing, all i wanted to do was run my hands through it just like in all the romance novel I spent countless hours reading. I stared fixedly at his lips.

He leaned in for a kiss as if on reflex I stepped back,I wasn't sure I was ready yet, infact I knew I did literally faint if he kissed me moreover supposing he didn't like how I kissed I was really a novice is all this romantic stuff.

Yeah I read a lot of romantic novels but even you would agree that real life Romance was more difficult.

Sensing my reluctance,He grabbed my waist and tried to kiss me allowing my eyes to flutter shut I leaned in for the kiss heart hammering and my cheek probably flaming red
