september 16th, 1993

he's gonna fucking beat you if he finds out!!" my brother ben exclaimed.

"i'm going anyways" i mumbled, brushing my pink hair.

i was wearing a white dress that came right above my knees that had thin straps with a jean jacket over it to hide the ugly bruises on my arms.

it was the only dress i owned, and it was my mothers.

"you look just like her" ben mumbled.

"yeah, with pink hair!" i laughed, making ben laugh too.

"so they're picking me up" i said, putting down my hairbrush and standing up and sliding on a pair of light pink flats. hand me downs.

"those 4 guys you're always with?" ben asked

i nodded, smiling.

he rolled his eyes and took out something from his wallet.

a...condom?

"what the fuck ben!!" i exclaimed

"just in case!" he said, throwing his head back and hysterically laughing.

i rolled my eyes, trying to hold back laughter as i pushed him off of my bed.

just as i was about to tackle him, the horn of a car kept beeping.

thank god my dad wasn't home yet.

i practically sprinted down the stairs to see alex at the door. he had on a white dress shirt, black tie, and black skinny jeans with black converse.

"wow" he said to himself.

"what??" i asked, totally confused.

"n-nothing lets just go jacks hungry" alex said quickly, his cheeks heating up as he lightly grabbed my hand, leading me to the car as i used my other hand to wave goodbye to my brother.

we got in the front seat of the car and i turned around to see the other three boys, and started laughing my ass off.

jack had on a bright blue ruffle tuxedo, rian had on all black and a bright pink tie, and zack had on a green dress shirt with white pants and his hair was slicked back.

i continued laughing as alex joined in, tears in both of our eyes.

"my mom dressed us all!" zack said, throwing his arms in the air.

"cassadee is making me wear the pink tie!" rian said, face palming.

jack looked dramatically out the window, making alex laugh even louder, holding his stomach.

"lets just go to the dance already" jack said, rolling his eyes as alex drove off
