Where She Went

28. Time

Guys, we are officially nearing the end to the Fault Lines trilogy. I only have a few more chapters left before its a wrap! I want to thank you all again for keeping up with this crazy bipolar book and staying on the ride throughout both books. I look forward to writing the last few AMAZING chapters for you!

The media above is Hazel's dress (left) and November's tux (right)!

Also, this chapter is a bit short because I want the excitement to help wrap up the book! (And I want to be mean and leave yall in suspense(; )

With all love,

Auna<3

********************************************

About a month and a half has pasted, and the party draws closer. It was bound to be any day now, and I waited feverishly for it to come.

I have started showing, and I've had to succumb to the fact that this is truly real and I am actually bearing a child. Thankfully I've been able to hide it by wearing my baggiest dresses.

Harrison hasn't shown any signs of killing November yet, and I'm hoping he will last through the party. I need to be able to leave with him, or I might not be able to at all because I couldn't see a normal world without him.

Fixing my dress in the mirror, I fluff it out towards my stomach and walk out into my bedroom to be greeted by an excited looking Savell. She holds a giant box in her hands, and holds it out to me when I near.

"For you. I hope you like it." She smiles. I smile back and take it gladly from her.

"Thank you. If I may ask, is this for the party?"

"Yes, my dear. Please try it on quickly so I know if it fits. I'll be back in a few minutes."

I trail my fingers over the intricate design of the box. If the box was this nice, the dress was bound to be beautiful and expensive.

"Okay. Thank you."

Savell nods once and leaves the room to let me try it on.

I take a deep breath and place the box on the edge of my bed. Pulling off the rough ribbon attached, I put both hands on the side and lift the lid carefully. When I see the dress I involuntarily gasp.

I pull the dress out and stare at the beautiful and black delicate lacings on the top, and slowly make my way down to admire the silky nude colored material with a feathery lace on top. It was gorgeous.

I shrug off my other dress and pull the new one over me, instantly feeling the plush, silky fabric touch my bare skin. Once I can fix it on to my liking in the mirror, I wait on the edge of my bed for Savell.

She came in a few minutes later and draws a hand to her mouth when she comes in eye contact with my dress.

"Hazel, it's absolutely stunning on you!" She gasps, drawing closer.

I give a small laugh and do a small spin.

"Thank you. It is a very beautiful dress."

Savell admires it for a few more seconds before clasping her hands together. "Oh, I almost forgot!"

She runs up to the box and shuffles deeper before pulling out matching heels and a diamond necklace. I guess I hadn't seen the other things when I was taking out the dress.

"Here, put these on." She hands me the heels and I take them gladly.

They were also stunning, with small pebbles of crystals lining the edges of the toe.

I put them on and instantly feel taller. I hadn't remembered wearing something similar like this since homecoming. It felt so long ago.

"And last but not least..." Savell walks up to me as I finish and gently pulls the necklace over my neck. She clips it in the back and stands back a few steps to admire my final look.
