Emily's POV (for the last time 😢)
I stood in my room in my closet looking for something to wear. I heard my door creak and looked over to see my mom a camera in her hands. "Mom" I said annoyed she was almost as bad as Jonathan (so I'm told by Will) she giggled putting the camera down.
"I what to document" she said walking into my room and leaning on the wall. I smiled at her and went back to looking through my closet.
"So what you gonna wear?" She said leaning trying to peek around my closet door.
"How about this?" I asked holding out a purple top with a bow that wrapped around and tied in the back. And a long white skirt I had gotten from my grandma last Christmas. My mom studied the outfit and looked from me to it. Over and and over and over and over.
"Mom" I said snapping her out of her trance as it had gotten to much to bare. She looked at me one more time before speaking up.
"Perfect!" She said smiling at me. I jumped with excitement as I walked passed her into the bathroom. She followed knowing i'd need help with what I wanted to do. She smiled at me in the mirror as she combed my dirty blonde hair out and started braiding part of it. She made three small braids then braided those together in the back. So I had a big braid made of smaller ones over the rest of my lose hair.
"Thank you mom" I said as she finished.
"Of course,this is a special night" she said. I walked back into my room and changed. Before I left my room I looked at my desk. Pictures of me and my friends the entire party huddled together smiling leaning on each other.
One of me Max and El with Nacy shopping. And one of me and Steve and Skyler. Steve and her had been dating for a few months now and Dustin and I were rather proud of ourselves for getting them together.
And next to that one was a collage of me and Dustin. One of us hugging,one with us making silly faces. And one of him kissing me on the cheek. I smiled at the picture feeling butterflies in my stomach.
I walked out of my room to be blinded by a bright light. My eyes re adjusted to see my mom pulling a picture out of the camera. "Mom!" I said she laughed and looked at me.
"Give me a spin" she said I sighed but did as she asked. And she gave out a weird squeal witch made me look at her funny. I rolled my eyes and walked to the kitchen taking a sip of water and and deep breath.
"It'll be fun! Stop worrying" my mom said as she walked up behind me. I nodded and walked out to the car.
My mom drove a sat nervously fiddling with my skirt. "Hey" I looked at her.
"It'll be fine" she said I knew it would be but that didn't make me any less nervous.
My mom parked the car and I climbed out she gave me a thumbs up as I walked into the school.
I checked in with Mr Clarke and walked into the main gym. Blue and white lights and streamers hung everywhere. Snowball spelt out in big letters hanging from the ceiling. A smile spread across my face it looked so magical. "Hi Emily" I turned to my name and saw Nancy she sat with Jonathan on the bleachers. I walked over and said hi.
"I like your skirt" Nacy said to me I did a curtsy.
"Thank you" I said Jonathan smiled. His hair was combed out of his face it looked good.
"I like your hair Jonathan" I said he chuckled a bit and said thanks.
"The party's over there" Nancy said pointing to the other side of the gym.
"Ok" I said turning to leave.
"Bye guys have a good night" I called to them I heard them say "you to" as I walked off. I pushed my way through the sea of kids and found the party.
"Emily!" Will called out to me when I was close. Dustin turned around as did you rest of the gang. Everyone's faces lighting up with smiles. Judy stood next to Will she had been hanging out with him for a while so I guess they came together.
"Hi guys" I said as I got to them. They all said hello,except for Dustin. I looked at him he was just looking at me. I felt my face grow warm only I didn't hide it like I used to.
"Y- wow you look beautiful" he said. The knot in my stomach getting tighter.
"Thanks, and you look very handsome" I told him. And he did he wore a gray suit with nice dress pants and his converse. His hair was shorter to he got it cut a while ago it wasn't all over the place anymore. He smiled at me and I could tell he was happy. I loved seeing him happy through all what's happened.
"So how've you been?" Lukas asked me. He stood next to Max. I looked to him and answered.
"Good! How about you?" I asked. He smiled and said he was doing good. We made small talk with one another talking about movies and comics. Then a slow song came on Lukas turned to Max and offered his hand she took it and they were the first to leave. Then Mike and Eleven then Will and Judy. Then it was just me and Dustin.
He took my hand and lead me to the dance floor. "I'm not very good at dancing" I said shyly looking around at everyone else my heart rate getting faster.
"Nonsense" Dustin said as we stoped in the middle of the floor. I looked at everyone around me my hands getting sweaty.
"Don't pay attention to them" he said,I looked at him trying to block out everyone else. His blue eyes looking gray in the light. His now shorter brown curls sitting on top of his head.
He took by hands and put them on his shoulders as he put his around my waist. He started to sway to the beat of the song as everyone else. I swayed with him not focused on anyone else anymore.
I stepped closer to him laying my head on his shoulder and hugging him tightly. My mind for the first time in a long time,calm.
Not rushing with fear or worry. We danced for a while before I leaned back and looked at him again. His soft smile making me feel as if I was flying.
How was I so lucky to have him? I asked myself. He leaned closer to me and placed his lips on mine,now I was definitely flying. I closed my eyes and just felt him. His lips on mine his hands around my waist hugging me pulling my small frame into his slightly bigger one. We pulled away but stayed close,sharing breaths looking into each other's eyes.
After the song had ended we walked back over to the bleachers sitting down next to Mike and El. I leaned on him and listened to the conversation going on between him and Mike his fingers curled around mine. Will and Judy and Lukas and Max joined us shortly after and we all talked the night away.
I'm sure my mom was hiding somewhere taking pictures along with Jonathan.
I felt as peace for once. My life had been a train wreak. My dad,me feeling alone all the time. And oh ya the upside down and all that!
But right now in this moment I felt at peace. Here with my friends my boyfriend lovingly holding my hand. What could go wrong now?
