Chapter 23

(A/N: Anyways, here I am again. FINALLY! got something in my head to get E.T. going. Since I said I need to finish it before school gets very hectic. One new chapter is up. And I hope you like this one. The freshest! Now read, lovelies! :*)

Bethany's P.O.V.

               Today is the day I've been waiting for. More than how his fans wait every single time at school. More than how his dog Macky waits for him to come back. Today is Matthew's birthday. The day I swore that everybody would see the best change they never thought I'd do. Maybe because I've been affected by the teasing so much, that I also decided to change the way I look, I talk and everything they doon't like about me.

     Not that I plan to be popular, but I'm just tired of hearing those words and name callings all over again. I have my on dead end inside me. and for how long, I reached my boiling point. And instead of letting my anger out on someone. I did my best to fix myself.

          I laid the red gown on my bed, the best gown that fitted my improving body on that one store I went to this weekend with Mandy. But since I left her on the cafe we went to, she did not saw the gown I bought since I ran to home after we ate. I was so excited to let everyone see the new me. And I just hope people would be happy to see me now. 

    I sat in front of the mirror, checking if there's any smudge on my make up, or if my mascara was too much, my eyeshadow is too much or anything that would make me look hideous. Nope, not  sign of anything bad at all. I smiled and my lip gloss shined with my lips. Lipstick was making me uncomfortable. I feel like someone punched me in the lips and it was swollen. Maybe I'm just not used to it. My hair was fixed with the curls. My eyes twinkling whenever I blink. I bought that drops for the eyes. I guess it and my eyes look well. I wore my new contact lenses, so I can still see even if I don't have my glasses on. I placed a little tiara on my head to secure the half-bun I made. 

      I carefully slipped my strapless gown on. Careful not remove the glitter on my body. I was shining tonight. Even my dangling earrings made my look so radiant like the sun. I just hope Matthew would like this. I wore my black stiletto on. I walked down the stairs only to see my mom, dad and Matthew's jaws drop on the floor. That was a joke. But they were looking at me, like I'm someone they never met before.

"Wow, honey. You look really stunning." Mom exclaimed clapping her hands together while dad and Matt reached for my hands, I thanked them after that.

         I gave Matt a tight hug and looked at him adoringly. Like a prince, he was really captivating tonight. He wore a black tuxedo for his party. His hair still soft to touch but able to be managed. I was getting teary-eyed. He was so beautiful. I just hope he stays like this forever.

"You're very beatiful, Beth. I was right not to beleive you can have a positive change. Look at you! That gown is hugging every curve that you have." he smiled, a real one this time. I t fits him so perfectly.

"You're handsome to, Matt. Happy birthday, babe. And you're right about makeovers. It doesn't hurt that much." I giggled.

This would be a magical night. For us.

Neptune's P.O.V.

       Dear Journal,

                     I've only got how many days? 14? I never thought this mission would be so much short. It 's unfair. Now, that somehow, both of us feels something I already need to go. I don't even know how to explain to Mandy that I'm not going to be able to come back. Not if I'd give up my crown to my older brother just to be here with her. What's the point of proving I'm worth to be the king after all these challenges I've went through?

         But how about my Mandy? Do you think I could bear to see her cry in front of me when I need to go? Of course not! And do they think I could marry another girl just because I've found out how this LOVE thing works? Nope. not a chance. I only love one girl. And in the end, I can't even get to love her with all of me cause I need to leave soon.

Life is unfair. And now I can see th truth to prove it. I won't give up without a fight. Maybe there a way. I can't leave her. Not now. Not when, I love her already.

From,

Neptune

          I closed my journal and kept it inside my drawer, Mandy was downstairs watching T.V. and laughing by herself. I smiled and looked at what she's watching.Her favorite, Mr. Bean.  I carefully descended the stairs and sat beside her.

"Prince Charming?" she asked, her tone changing.

"Yes?" I answered, afraid of what she might ask.

"Would you miss me...if I'm gone? And I can't go back?" she asked, looking at me seriously, like she've been wanting to ask me this question for a long time.

"Of course, you know I'd miss you...I. You don't know how it would be hard for me to not see you. Why do you ask?"

"I just..." she hesitated and played with her fingers.

           What was bothering her? Why is she afraid? I can see it in her eyes she is afraid of something. Scared? That is not one of her nature. I need to know what is it. Before it is too late.
