Dark Secrets, Big Lies |Toni Topaz|

【Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ２９】

After Jade ran away from the drive-in I called and texted her phone non stop I tried getting the boys to leave but they wouldn't "you just need to leave Jade alone that's how she deals with things. And when you go home please don't force her into telling you anything. That's just going to set her off. She'll tell you whatever happened when she's ready." Sweet Pea says as he's finishing up his nachos. I couldn't even focus on the movie because I was worried about Jade.

By the time both movies ended it was close to 1:00am Sweet Pea and Fangs dropped me off at home. I walk inside to see Jade already asleep in the bed. She was still sniffling in her sleep like she had been crying very hard before passing out. I changed my clothes and climbed into bed with her. I crawled next to her to wrap my arms around her waist I kissed her head before falling asleep myself.

...................................................................

After I took off from the drive-in I just kept running, my feet didn't stop I didn't even know where I was going until I found myself at sweet water river. I sat on a rock and just listened to the water rushing over the rocks. I sat there in complete silence turned my phone completely off and cried. For 17 years I was lied to year after year and no one felt the need to tell me the truth. It was like my whole life was a lie.

I sat there for two hours thinking about everything how I had a sister I never even knew until a few months ago. And it was only weeks since we could tolerate being around each other, did Veronica know we were sisters? Would she hate me again after finding out the truth? What was the real reason behind my dad not wanting Hiram around me? It was all too much the tears didn't stop falling, my head was pounding. I didn't want to go back home so once again my feet brought me to Toni's doorstep.

I changed my clothes, washed my face and the last thing I remember was feeling Toni's arms around me. When I woke up the last thing I wanted to talk about was last night. Today was prom day and that's what I wanted to focus on. Tomorrow was an even bigger day for me. Nothing and no one were about to ruin our special day.

"You ok baby?" Toni asked rubbing my back "I don't want to talk about it please Toni don't push it. I don't want anything ruining prom for us ok?" She gives my back a kiss "ok babe I will wait until you want to talk about it. I won't push the subject anymore." I turn to face her and my lips find hers "thank you babe" I respond.

"So what's the plan for today?" I ask "we're meeting at V's house to get ready since you refuse to see me before then. And we are all  having dinner at Maggianos. Betty said they have a nice court yard to take pictures in."

I was so glad now that I told Toni I didn't want to see her in her dress until tonight. That meant I didn't have to see Hermione at all yet.

"Sounds like a plan, I'm gonna get ready here with the boys. And Roman is sending us a limo to use for the night." I reply. "He is?" Toni asks I nod my head "yup he said we should have the best prom experience, so he's sending his best car for us to use free of charge. Even when I offered him money he refused it. And he said he was going to have it stocked for us so I guess a little pre game action before the dance."

"You and your connects Jones" Toni smiles. "Get used to it Topaz" I reply with a kiss. We got up and made breakfast together, ate, watched a movie, took an hour long nap before showering. Toni left with Alexa to Veronica's and I waited for the boys to come. "We're heeeerrreeee" Fangs sang as he knocked on the front door. "And we brought a few bottles" Sweet Pea adds. I let them in and we poured ourselves a drink.

The boys took over the living room with their suits and shoe boxes, and change of clothes for after. While they played PlayStation I did my hair and makeup taking a lot more time on both than I normally would. I wanted to look great for my soon to be girlfriend. "You guys might want to start getting ready, the limo should be here in like 30." I yell out to the boys. I pull out my suit and change. 

I decided to go with a black Gucci suit with a white accent collar a white dress shirt underneath and for a little extra bling a gold and emerald green chain to keep the jacket closed. And for my shoes I went with all black Louboutin heels. I packed a bag with a casual outfit for after just in case we went to an after party or something. I went out and showed the boys my outfit.

"Wow Jade you look amazing" they all say in unison. I bow "thank you boys" I helped the rest of them tie their ties and fix their hair. Just as I finished with Sweet Pea the car honked the limo was here. "You guys got a change of clothes for after?" I ask them all "yup we're ready to go." I lock up the house and outside in the driveway is sitting a beautiful white Cadillac Escalade limo.

"Holy shit this is siiick" the guys say in unison. "Let's go fellas" I reply. We climb inside and make our way to the Italian restaurant Betty and Veronica made reservations at.
