Brought Together

19. Prom Part 1

Melanie:

I arrived back home, I was soaking wet.. I went straight upstairs and pulled out all my wet clothes.

I was so cold so I took a hot shower. When I finished I pulled on my pyjamas. I sat down on my bed and looked at my phone.

- ONE NEW MASSAGE : MOM -

"I bought you a dress for your prom tomorrow, it's the hallway x"

SHIT, I HAVE PROM TOMORROW. I totally forgot! After me and Mark broke up, I didn't wanna go anymore cause I wouldn't have a date.. But I promised my mom I would go, so I kinda was forced to go.

I texted Tami and Holly, "GIRLS HELP ME I HAVE PROM TOMORROW, and I totally forgot.. I don't wanna go but promised my mom.. WHAT TO DO?! X"

I got a text from Holly a minute after I send it, "Mels, just go! Prom is the best thing when you're a senior! You should go.. X"

Her text made me think about my friends at school, almost all of them had a date and I would be left alone..

A couple minutes later I also got a text from Tami, "Girl, just go! You should have fun.. Enjoy for the both of us, I'm stuck at home, explain later! X"

I didn't wanna go, but I decided I had to.. I went downstairs and carried the big box with the dress upstairs.

I opened it, it was a peach coloured strapless maxi dress, it had millions of little diamonds on my breasts. It was just perfect.

- Next day-

I woke up and I was freezing, I covered myself in my blankets and didn't wanna get out of my bed.

My mom came upstairs, "Mel, it's already 1pm! get ur lazy ass out of bed" She said while she pulled of my blankets.

I got annoyed but knew I had to get out of bed.. My hairdresser could be here any moment.

I took a shower and pulled on some trainers. "MEL, AMY IS HERE!" I heard my mum yelling from down the stairs.

Amy was my hairdresser and she came to do my hair & makeup for the prom. I walked downstairs and gave Amy a hug, "How are you doing?" I asked her.

"Fine thanks! How are you sweety?" She asked me with a smile.

"Well, could be better.. I went to London last week and I met this guy.. Harry Styles" I said sad.

"Wait! You did what ?! Oh my god girl, I'm jealous!" He said cheerfull, she laughed.

I laughed but didn't mean it .. It hurts to talk about him, he had promo's like everyday and had no time to call or text me, he even kinda 'broke up' with me yesterday..

Amy did my hair, it was beautiful, she straightened my hair and did my makeup.

I looked pretty, but I didn't feel like it..

It was already 6pm, my mum cooked dinner.. We ate and then I went upstairs to get my dress.

"Mum? When is dad home? He has to bring me to the prom!" I said.

"He could be home every second!" She answered while she was packing in the dishes machine.

I put on my dress and my heels. I looked stunning, but still.. I didn't feel like I did.

The doorwell went but I didn't wanna open it.. My mum looked at me with a annoyed expression in her face. "I'll open the door, lazy ass" She said and walked to the door.

My mum opened the frontdoor and a little after that she closed it.

"Mel?" She asked me while she came back into the room.
