Miracle

Hi, Ebony. I hope your okay. I've  been thinking alot about what happened between us, and I now know why it did happen. It was all my fault. If only I noticed in the beginning. I should've found the time to come and see you. I was just so busy, worrying about settling in that, I... Even with everything that's happened between us... I miss you, and, I love you. Forever and always xxx Jesse x

After reading these words, still fresh in my mind. I close the message and delete yet again another email from Jesse. He's been trying to get hold me since the... last phone call we had. I just can't bare to talk to him yet.

===========================

The evening of prom was now here, so I stop off at Mia's house so we can help eachother to get ready. She puts on her gorgeous lace prom dress that I bought with her in town. And I dress into my white ball gown type dress. We do hair and make up, and soon after we're almost finished.

"So, are you okay going to prom... on your own I mean?" Mia asks in her soft, velvet voice.

"I guess so... It's a masked theme so, at least no one will know who I am." I say.

She chuckles. "You still love him don't you." she says placing a flower in my hair to add the final touch.

I sigh sadly. "... Yeah."

"You shouldn't be going to prom on your own hun. You two should have gone together. Your a beautiful Elizabeth tonight. You need your dear Darcy to sweep you off your feet."

"Well, unless I pray for a miracle then, It won't happen."

She gives me a sympathetic look.

"Don't Worry, I'll be fine on my own. Just make sure you have a good time with Jake." I say smiling. "Have fun okay."

"Oh I will, don't worry about that."

The door bell finally rings.

"Ohh! I guess that's for me!" Mia springs up onto her feet. "You look beautiful." she says looking at me approvingly.

I simply smile and reveal her to everyone downstairs. Jake - Mia's boyfriend - is standing in his new tux, in front of the door when we reach the bottom of the stairs. His face lights up as soon as he sees Mia.

"Wow, Mia! Your stunning!"

"Isn't she." I say as Mia does a quick twirl for everyone to see.

"You look great too Ebony."

"Thanks."

I hand Mia her mask when she gives me a delightful hug before taking Jake's hand and ushering him to the limo.

===========================

"Here we go." I mumble. "Just go in and have an good time." I say to myself outside the front entrance of the school, mask in hand.

I glance at the many couples who are going in, two by two. The guys in their smart tux, girls in their once in a lifetime prom dresses. I'm glad I chose the safe, more elegant look.

I lift up my mask up in front of my face and start to stride confidently into the hall.

The music fills my ears, as soon as I walk in. I scan my eyes around the room. Most people are dancing in the centre of this endless space. Others chatting around the sides. Then I spot a quite area, with tables and stools straight ahead of me. 'Not many people there' I think. Still holding up the mask, I walk towards an empty table and perch on a stool in front of me.

'Who am I kidding. It sucks to be alone at prom. I wish Jesse was here.' I think to myself wishfully.

I place my mask down on the table when a hand taps me on the shoulder. I quickly lift up the mask to my face again and turn around to see who it is.

He's tall. That's definitely one thing. Tall and wearing a 19th century costume, a kind of Pride and Prejudice type outfit.

Its dark so I cant see that well.

"Who the hell are you?" I say confused as I can't make out who it is that's under the mask.

"Take off your mask."

I can't make out the voice either because the sound becomes muffled.

"What?"

"Take off your mask."

I do as he says, and then give him a 'What the hell is going on' look.

He slowly pulls down the mask, and as soon as I see who it is, the whole room seems to start spinning around me.

"Jesse?." I say confused, and a little light headed. Then I smile at him with relief, before he lifts me off my feet. He leans in to kiss me, his arms wrapped around my waist. I don't refuse. I willingly lean towards him, closing my eyes as I do so. We kiss and it feels magical. Just like our first kiss together. It's such a relief seeing his angelic face again.

I pull away. "Wait. But.. I thought..." I stutter and then trail off.

"I know. I know exactly what your going to say. Do I have to spell it out for you?"

"Uh, yes please."

He takes a breath before starting again.

"The thing is Ebony. I just couldn't be without you. Living in London on my own and not seeing you... just killed me. Every part of my being urges to be with you. I love you too much."

"You could never love me too much." I say pulling him in towards me to meet his lips again.

"So, I've transferred to a college here, close to you so we can still be together."

I almost can't believe it, I'm so surprised.

"Well, you look... 'Dacy-ish'"

"Of course I do. I am Mr. Darcy." He mimic’s in a posh voice. "And you, my dear Elizabeth, look divine."

"Well Mr. Darcy. Why thank you." I also mimic, smiling.

"Elizabeth... Would you do me the honour of having your first dance with me tonight?"

"Certainly." I say as he links his arm through mine and walks me towards the dance floor.
