Eyes on You

Chapter 20

A/N : 1K READ??! Woop! Woop!! Thanks for everything! :D Because I love you guys so much and feel like being generous, I've done a oneshot of Brendon x reader! but it's in my other book, the 'Emo Trinity X Reader' one. Feel free to check it out! xoxo 💕💕

Going through the two weeks is very anxious for you. You heart beats faster more often as the day nears. Yes, the 'Day'. F/n is anxious too. Yeah, she should. Having a dream of being the 'Queen of the Night' is quite a burden for her. But who doesn't? Though you don't like the idea of going to prom this year, you too used to have that dream, it's just that, it's not this time. Your fear of going there is bigger than that dream. And this time also, is time for F/n to shine. That is the only thing that keeps you motivated to go. Seeing your best friend on stage and getting an award is sure a proud moment.

And since F/n and Patrick are the ones making you agree to go to prom with them, they make no exception for you to wear something nice as well. You keep telling them that it's not necessary, but they insist. They would reply with "You need to show 'em girls, especially those bitches." or "You're worth more than what you think. You deserve to be pretty." Hearing those from them would always leave a smile on your face. They make you realize that you have your own place in this world and the world need to acknowledge it. Yeah, they make you believe again whenever you feel like you're worthless.

So, there you guys go again, going from shops to shops, except this time it's a dress hunt for you. And finally, you got it. The best dress that they find would fit you perfectly for that night, even when you doubt it countless time. When you got back home and into your room, you hang it up on the wall, so you'll always look at it whenever you enter your room, or just pacing around in the room. The more you look at it, the more you're falling in love with it. One time, you take it off from the wall and try it on while looking at yourself in the mirror. It hugs your body perfectly. F/n and Patrick were right about it. You chuckle a bit at yourself because you feel and look beautiful as you see your reflection.

But then, your mind reminds you of Sarah, out of sudden. 'She's the queen of everything. Everyone knows her. She's the school popular people.' These thoughts are running in your mind. And the worst thought you're thinking of right now is, you'll never have a chance with Brendon. Somewhere in a tiny part of your heart still hopes that you could go back to Brendon. But can a miracle happen to you that night? Plus, you've never been lucky enough for that to happen. You let out a silent sigh, before taking a glance at the calendar on your bedside table. Three days before prom??! You never realize how fast time flies. Welp, this is it. You'll be facing it soon. You can only hope and pray for the best.

* timeskip to the day - Prom Night *

"Oh my goosshhh!! Look at all the decorations!!!" F/n squeals as the three of you enter the hall. You guys promised to meet the others there so you begin looking for your friends. "Oh, there they are." Patrick points to a group of familiar faces. You waste no time joining them, and as soon as one of them saw you, she can't help but to squeal as well. "Y/n??! you're here!! We thought you said you didn't want to come!!" She then engulfs you in a hug. You chuckle then say, "Welp, here I am! Hahaa.." "Whoa! And look at F/n!!" Another guy friend of yours said. F/n sheepishly look at the floor. He continues while nudging Patrick, "You sure are a lucky guy, Pat." Patrick blushes and rubs the back of his neck, letting out a nervous laugh.

Your friends are enjoying talking to each other, but your eyes are busy roaming around, in search of Brendon and Sarah. You know that the sight of them being together would probably breaks your heart again, but your mind is being very stubborn right now and wants to search for them. You are no longer paying attention to what your friends are talking about. After a few moments, your eyes finally landed on them. As expected, they come to prom as a couple. But, they look a bit weird in your opinion. Sarah isn't clinging to Brendon like she always did. Still, their hands are holding each other, and that makes you sad.

Your mood drops down, your face shows uneasiness. You may even look a little pale right now. But that's a good excuse for you to be away from the event for a while. "Hey guys, I think I need some fresh air. It's too crowded in here. I'm gonna be outside a bit, okay?" You told your friends, making them turn to look at you. Before you go, they even said things like "Feel better soon." and stuff. Then you quickly make your way out, restraining yourself from breaking down right there and then. You are mad at yourself right now for being so weak over thing like this, having a sudden panic attack after you saw Brendon and Sarah. Oh, why won't your feelings for him just go away?? That would make it easier for you to live your life.
