"I don't know what to wear."
"I told Emily to bring over a few things." Oh that's just great. So great! I don't even want to see her. She's not as bad as the rest I guess, but still..she pulled a damn gun on me.
"She held me at gunpoint." I say in defense and he doesn't even look surprised.
"You do realize if you had escaped that day they would've killed her. She's got kids. She's not dying for nobody." I roll my eyes and pull out my make up bag.
"Can't believe I'm doing this." I whisper to myself. I can't act for shit. If one person there tries me I'm smacking them. Then again I'd be risking this whole thing and I can't do that.
After a few minutes Emily comes to the house with a variety of options.
"Their all short." I point out and she smirks
"That's what people like these days." She comments back while picking out the one she likes the most. I roll my eyes and shake my head at her decision making. It's not that the dresses are ugly or anything, but their just not for me.
"Alright I don't want to rush you or anything but please be ready by 5:30." John leaves the room.
"Fine. This one." I pick out the only long dress in the stack and she snorts
"That Valentino is going to look perfect on your body. Try it on!" She urges with excitement. I grab it from her and head to the bathroom.
I shit the door and strip off my clothes quickly. I put on the dress and try to zip it on myself, but it won't.
When I open the door Emily is right in front of me. Geez.
I turn around and she zips it right up. It fits exactly right. Like a damn glove..and it's beautiful.
"Wow." She says looking at the dress up and down
"Wow." Repeats John startling the both of us. We look at him and I am almost positive they both noticed how red my cheeks are now.
"I don't like it. I don't want to go."
"You have to." John gives me a weird look and I already know what he's thinking in his head. You better stick to the damn plan or you'll never get out.
I agree to keep the dress and I awkwardly thank her for it. She gives me a hug which I didn't want before she leaves.
"John I really just want to talk to my mom. I can at least tell her I'm somewhere safe. Please."
"That'll jeopardize everything. You will talk to her soon but not now. Please just go along with this." I sigh in annoyance and shake my head. Fine.
I do my make up and get ready since we are leaving in a little bit. I don't put a lot in because I'm not much of a fan.
After I finish I notice he's been done for quite sometime.
"You look ready. Lets go."
"And you look like shit. Lets go." I tease. He hits my shoulder lightly and opens the car.
"Do not try to escape. Not at the party. Not at night." He warns me when we get into the car. I laugh lightly because he read my mind.
When we get into his car I turn on the radio. Trying to lighten up the mood. Spirits by the strumbella's comes on.
"I got guns in my head and they won't go? Seriously? You want to listen to this when 2 people held you at gunpoint?" He jokes and I laugh so loud it makes my mouth hurt
"Shut it." I reply back. I hate how nice he is because it makes hating him hard. Shouldn't I hate him with all my heart? I mean I know it's not his fault and I could've been stuck with another man, but still. This is his fathers fault but not all of it. I don't know.
We arrive there sooner than I thought since he drives the car so damn fast. Plus the house isn't that far away from his. He opens the car door for me and I notice he has a gun in his suit pocket.
"Why do you have that?" I point and he smirks
"Business." He intertwines our hands and I pull away.
"Geez Lor, calm down. I would never hurt you. I won't let anyone hurt you." His smirk turns into his signature smile
"I'm not going to swoon over you. Lets get this over with." I walk faster than him and I hear him chuckle at my words. I stop at the front entrance and wait for him.
"Don't get out of my sight. That's my suggestion." He whispers in my ear before opening the door.
Once he opens the door loud voices boom over the huge house. We go inside and we hold hands walking in. Faces turn quickly at us and eyes are popping. So many damn people.
"Hi!" A voice from behind says, a ladies voice. I turn around and fake smile at her. She looks like she's in her late 30's. Johns hand gets tense and he looks at her. I can tell he's fake smiling too.
"Hi Annie." He plainly greets her and she kisses him on the cheek. He wipes it away when she looks at me and I can't help but laugh loudly.
"What's your name?" She asks with a huge smile on her face
"Lauren."
"How beautiful!" She compliments my dress and grabs my hand. I leave John and look back to see him talking to someone. Idiot!! I can't be left alone with this strange lady. As far as I know the only people at this party are the weirdo's who support this sick company.
"I want you to meet a few people." She tells me, she bumps into Johns father. Great. The last asshole monster we need to see. He grabs me and hugs me. I don't think I've ever wanted to kill myself even more than at this moment. Actually I want to kill him.
"So you've met my wife I see." He kisses her on the cheek and she blushes. Omg.
You have to be kidding me. This is some kind of sick joke I almost swear. Hows this beautiful lady with a cute smile married to this sick ass with the ugliest smug look on his face. I don't believe it.
"Um yeah." I use my fake smile again and he smiles even bigger looking at her. She hugs me again. What is with these people and their hugs. I need to leave.
"She is so sweet. I'm so glad John bought her." she tells her husband. My heart drops and I don't even n know what to say
OH HELL NO! She didn't not just say that.
I almost smack her but I contain my self. I can't ruin this plan. This is the only plan that is giving me hope. I must go on if I want to see my parents and go back to my regular life ever again.
"Aha.." I dryly smile and walk away from them. If I didn't walk away I might've choked her.
