Prom night was cold and windy, the dark sky scaring away any possible 'monsters' that lurked nearby. I stood in front of my mirror, trying to convince myself not to do this tonight. I mean tonight of all nights I will not hate myself, for tonight's prom, and all the girls are beautiful and happy at prom. Right?
My mom walked into my room, a smile upon her face. "Ariella, Lucas is here." she put the last bobby pin in my thick dark brown hair as I took one last look in the mirror before grabbing my white heels and heading down to Lucas.
Lucas has short brown hair and ocean blue eyes is skin slightly tan with light freckling around his cheeks. Luke is captain of the football team and soon to be prom King and Golden Boy of our South Carolina suburbs. "Hi Ariel, you look great" he said opening the door before mother could snap the picture. He looked very handsome in this suit, too handsome for me to be standing next to him.

At the dance, I looked around for my sister, with no luck. Mr. Murano our very old principal tap the mic in an attempt to get our attention " student students if you will please let me introduce the prom King and queen drum roll please" nobody did so but you know. "Lucas Lykerson and Isabella Espinoza!" Lucas smiled at me as he went up to collect the crown, he and Isabella looks perfect up there; Bella found me Later by the punch bowl, she was telling me all about her date, Justin, the co-captain of the football team and Lucas is right hand man. Just when she got to the good part as she told me, Lucas came up and stole me away.
He took me outside to the gazebo, sitting down on the bench pulling me down next to him so content with how tonight was going up until he uttered the words " I'm so glad Bella asked me to go with you." how could I be so stupid? Did I really think a guy like him could truly like a girl like me? I'm scarred and broken, I didn't know what to say.
" Do you know what can you get me some food and water or something please?" I got up and moved down the steps towards the football field getting away from anybody who could question why I seemed upset.
I heard the gravel crunch, as somebody walked up behind me. " now enlighten me princess, why is someone as beautiful as you out here all by yourself?" a voice questioned. I world around wondering where the voice could be coming from. Finally I was confronted and extremely tall gorgeous man.

"What do you want?" I asked growing weary of his presence.
" you. Princess, I want you." he said wrapping his arm around me and holding something to my mouth. I held my breath not knowing what it was, thoughts wandering through my head, wondering if holding my breath will even save me. He Chuckles as if can read my mind, " you can't hold your breath forever sweetheart, sooner or later you'll have to breathe." as if it was a demand for me to breathe, as if he was demanding me to breathe my lungs gave up, gasping for air, traitors.
(Him))
She was so beautiful. She looks so peaceful, as I left her into my arms and walk towards the car. I look to the sky and pray to God, that he stays true to his word.
