A twist in fate

Chapter Three

Prom is in less than a week and I'm almost done with the long list of jobs Lydia gave me. Anastasia and Drizella are out getting everything together and Lydia is trying to find way to distract me from getting my work done.

Lacey bought me a dress that I surprisingly like. It's black and long and The sides are cut out. It's simple yet cute. She also got me black heels.

I placed the dress in a safe spot in my closet and continued with my chores.

Wednesday after school

"Kristen!" Lydia called from down stairs. "It seems that Lucifer found a new toy." Her evil black cat was biting and scratching my dress. I ran over to it and picked up my dress as her cat ran to her and she held him. My dress was ruined and there's only 3 days left until prom.

"Looks like your not going after all. Sorry sweetheart."

I sighed and went up to my room.

"It's not that bad..." Lacey attempted to make me feel better.

"Lacey it's destroyed. There's no way I could wear this." I sat next to her on my bed in the torn up dress and held my head in the palm of my hands. "This isn't fair I finished her stupid list!"

"Well... Harry needs his 'cinderella' to be there." she teased.

I then got that "lightbulb" moment and I ran over to my dresser and pulled out my life's savings.

"Go to the fabric store and and buy me any blue fabric you can find and bring it to me."

"Um."

"Just go!"

Lacey came back almost an hour later and I grabbed my moms old sewing kit. We drove to her house and we spent the rest of the week working on the dress at her house.

Friday night it was finally complete.

A beautiful blue flowey dress.

"I guess you really are like Cinderella now." Lacey teased. (kristen's dress to the side.)

Prom night

I came downstairs in my dress. Lacey curled my hair and did my makeup. She also bought me white heels. Harry looked so handsome. He wore a white tie and a black suit. He stood next to Lacey's date Preston who was also pretty handsome. He wore a purple tie to match Lacey's pink dress and a black suit as well. Lacey and I walked to our dates and Anastasia and Drizella gave is dirty looks. When we got to the dance Harry held my arm in his and lead me to the entrance. it was beautiful. There was a DJ and colorful lights, people were dancing, the decorations were everywhere. White roses mixed with red and yellow sat on round tables with white table cloth.

We sat until a slow song came on and Harry asked me to dance.

"You look beautiful." Harry whispered as he held me.

"Kristen." A girl tapped my shoulder. She had light brown hair and brown eyes. he was wearing a short red dress the showed most of her cleavage.

"Anastasia needs you. She said come quick."

"I'll be back in a minute." Harry nodded and I followed the girl out into the parking lot.

"Where is she?" I asked before getting pushed onto the street causing me to scrap my knee. Anastasia and Drizella came from behind and each dumped a bucket of water over me.

"You should've stayed home." Drizella spat and ripped a hole into my dress. They both laughed and went back inside. I sat there, soaking wet, cold, and in tears. All I want is one night. One night. I thought to myself as someone sat next to me on the curb.

"Are you alright?" A women with blonde hair and blue eyes asked me. She looked about my age.

"No. I finally met the perfect guy. But every time something seems like it's going to turn out right my step sisters always ruin it!"

"So your just going to give up?"

"What's the point in trying?"

"Freedom. And love is always the answer to freedom."

"That's what my mom always told me." I smiled and turned to see that the girl was gone. I stood up and took off my heels. I went back inside the hotel to find Lacey and we went into the bathroom. She fixed my makeup and hair but my dress was ruined.

"Go outside and wait on the bench." She ordered.

"But I-"

"Go!"

A little less than five minutes Harry came outside and sat next to me.

"Do you want to stay?" He asked, handing me the jacket to his suit. "We can go somewhere else if you'd like?"

"You don't mind?"

"Not at all. In fact, how about we go back to my house and we can just hang out."

"I would love that." I smiled.

When we got to his house we went to his room and he let me wear his Ramones shirt. He pulled out his guitar and played for a while then he sudden stopped and said "prepare for the worst singing in history."

I laid back and he sang "what makes you beautiful."

When he finished I asked him who the song was for.

"You of course."

"Your voice is relaxing." I laughed and he continued to sing. I fell asleep to his voice.

"Goodnight, cinderella." He whispered.

Monday morning came too quickly, and Lydia decided to ground me for 2 months for no reason at all.

Then end of the school year was coming soon and I was applying to collages. Lydia took away my cell phone so Harry and I have to talk through email.

One Month later

Harry made "us" official. That really pissed off my step sisters.

When I got home from school Lydia forced me to go with her to go shopping.

The next day was the senior slideshow. I was actually really excited. we all met up in the cafeteria and the teachers played the slideshow that they've been working on since the beginning of school. But instead someone switched the video. On the screen was a video of me when I was a child, singing to "hey jude" by the Beatles. I immediately made my way from the cafeteria as everyone began laughing and a caption with my name appeared at the bottom. I ran to the bathroom and cried. When I finally got home I didn't do any chores, I didn't listen to my step sisters or step mother. I just locked my door and wrote music until I couldn't possibly think any longer.
