life...

chapter 9

Megan's P.O.V.

Natalie's parents decided to throw me a party this weekend. Me being me, I'm against but since Natalie is all excited I decided I would be also just for her. We did each others hair and makeup even though I don't know how to tell her that no one is going to want to come after the incident that happened awhile ago.

"Nat...do you think that many people are going to come even though, they think that I'm a freak?" I asked as I curl a strand of her hair.

"Yea, why wouldn't they? Like yea stuff has happened that none of us are proud of but that doesn't mean that they should be rude and completely ignore us. We can't help what happened... well we could've but that's not the point, She looks up as me and smiles," There are people who still love you and have always loved you. Now don't go all soft on me. This is you party but I will not allow any crying."

I started laughing randomly, "Me going soft? You're the one giving me a speech telling me how people still love me and what not."

"Oh shut up, I've always been the soft one and you know this." 

I finish up the last curl as she starts singing Can't Feel My Face by the Weekend as if there isn't a curl in the world. She is so carefree, I don't understand how. She has so much to deal with yet, here she is  singing a song getting ready for my sweet sixteen. 

Nat's P.O.V.

I was dumbfounded by Megan's question, like yea  I understand what she is getting at but she doesn't realize how many people were excited when I said something about the party. Her parties used to be legendary until she became all depressed and uhm yea. I love that girl and I don't understand how she is so pessimistic. 

"Life is short don't dwell on the little things," I whisper to myself.

"What? Did you say something? Do you not like it?" Megan anxiously asked.

"No, I was just saying how everyone needs to quit dwelling on the little things and how life is short." 

"Short like as short as your dress?"

I laughed as I became self conscious of how short the dress was and how much skin was showing. Why was I dressed up and not her? Well she was but this day is meant for her not me. Oh well she is the one who picked out my dress so, whatever.

"Done." She says.

I stand up and grab her hands to twirl her but she didn't realize what I was doing and ended up falling down. She pulls me down with her as I started laughing at her.

"No, if you are going to laugh at me then you are going to be down here with me." She says as we fix with each others hair.

We both stand up and smooth down our dresses, "Are you ready to go to celebrate the best day of your life?"

"Yep as long as you are here with me through it all," Megan flashed me her million dollar smile and grabs my hand as we go out to our backyard where everyone is waiting.
