Bloody Roses

Chapter Two

Waking up to my mother standing over me is not the best way to wake up. "Mom what the hell are you doing?" My voice was low from just waking up.

"You need to go dress shopping today before all the good dresses are gone. Get up and untangle youself from Drake." As soon as she was done speaking she turned her heels and stormed away.

Sighing I snuggled into Drakes chest a little more. Why is she acting like this ball is the most important thing in the world. It's just a party. "Please don't get up. I am so comfortable." Drake mumbled into my hair making me smile.

"I know, but if we don't get up she will come back with water." Pushing myself away from his chest I slapped Misty's head making her jump and scan the room. When her eyes landed on me she glared and plopped her head back onto her pillow.

"Bitch, let me sleep." Her voice was muffled from the pillow.

"Misty we have to go get ready to shop for our ball gowns. Get up." That sentence alone had her jumping from the floor and running upstairs to my bedroom.

After about thirty minutes everyone was awake and rushing out the door trying to avoid my mother.

Drake grabbed my hand stopping me from getting into Misty's car. "Colton and I are going to go look for some tuxes. Meet up at the coffee shop?"

I smiled "we will meet you guys there. Have fun."

Drake kissed my cheek and shut my door for me once I was inside the car. Misty cleared her throat making me look over at her. The way she was smiling told me everything I was about to hear.

"You two are the absolute cutest. I can't wait until you two make it official. Everyone knows you two are in love."

Rolling my eyes I just pointed at the road "lets get going before my mother threatens us with her broom."

Misty laughed and started her way to the mall. When we got there it was already packed and it was only seven am. "What the actual fuck." Misty groaned as she parked the car. "It's going to be a very long day."

After about two long hours of dress shopping we finally found our dresses at the last store.

"Oh my goodness those dresses look amazing on you two! I definetly think you two found the ones." I looked over to see an older woman staring at Misty and I.

"Why thank you ma'am. We think so too.." Before I could finish my sentence a man around the same age as the woman walked up and told her to go assist the customers at the desk.

The woman gave us a small smile and walked over to the counter where a line of girls had formed. "How can I help you two today?"

Misty stepped in front of me "we are doing just fine thank you.. Andrew."

The man smiled and nodded his head "personally I think you would look better in a dark red." He paused for a minute until he looked over at me "and you would look gorgeous in a navy blue. It would go with you skin tone."

At this point I could tell Misty was sold on this guy. He worked in fashion and he was very smart with his words. "Misty we need to go meet the guys at the coffee shop. It's almost time."

Misty glared at me and walked towards Andrew. "I think we are going to stick with the dresses we picked out ourselves, but thank you for the help. Come on Amber we need to go pay for these dresses."

Andrew smirked and looked both of us over "Here I'll go ring the dresses up and you two can meet me at the counter."

Misty nodded and pulled me into the dressing rooms. "Girl he was so fine! Why did you have to pull that move. I bet I could have gave him my number."

Shaking my head I laughed "he's going to ask for it at the checkout counter. If he really wants it he can just steal it from the computer. Now we need to hurry. Drake has messaged me four times saying they were waiting on us."

After we paid for our dresses we raced to the coffee shop where the Colton and Drake.

"What the hell took you guys so long?" Colton shouted making everyone in the coffee shop stare at us.

Misty covered his mouth and pushed him into the seat. "Finding a dress takes longer than finding a tux. We have more options and styles."

Sitting down next to Drake and grabbed my thigh and gave it a light squeeze."Plus she was too busy flirting with one of the workers."

Misty elbowed me in the ribs and sat down next to Colton. "It's not like anything will happen. He was looking at both of us in the same way."

Colton glanced over at me and raised an eyebrow "you didn't give him your numbers did you?"

Misty rolled her eyes "we gave them to the store, but not to him directly why?"

Colton grew quiet and shrugged his shoulders leaving an awkward silence surrounding the table. That was until Drake spoke up "how about Amber and I go get us some coffees. Anything specific you guys want?" Both of them stayed quiet so I just nudged Drake with my arm.

"Are they ever going to get over what happened between them?" Drake questioned as he grabbed my hand and walked me to the line of people.

"Well, he's the one who confessed on almost cheating on her. So I don't know. We can just grab them their normal drinks."

Drake nodded his head and we just stood in the line until it was our turn. Once our drinks were ordered we waited by the counter until they were done. "Hey uhh Amber. Listen I just needed to say..." As Drake was talking some girl ran up to him and practically pounced on him.

I let go of his hand and walked away from the two of them. Drake looked at me with sad eyes and I knew that we weren't going to workout.

"Amber Owen, your order is ready." I rushed over snatched the coffees and made a mad dash towards the table.

When I sat down both Colton and Misty were giving me sad looks. "What the hell are you two looking at. Drink your coffee before they get cold."

Drake never came back to the table so I left his drink there and told Misty I wanted to go home.

Several hours later.

Misty and I were staying at her house tonight because both of our parents just had to go to this business dinner party. Misty went to the bathroom leaving her phone laying on my bed. It was going off like crazy.

"Misty who is texting you so much this late?" I picked up her phone to see it was an unknown number.

"Amber what the hell are you talking about." Misty shouted from the bathroom.

I ignored her question and read all of the messages the random person just sent.

'You are so beautiful. I will have you in my arms soon.'

Unknown 10:47 p.m

'Come on don't play hard to get. You know I will eventually have you to myself.'

Unknown 10:54 p.m

Misty snatched the phone out of my hands making me look up at her. "Who the hell is this? They are on the boarder of stalker." She started reading the two texts and her face went pale.

"I'll just block them. It's probably just Colton playing a prank on me or something." Misty then blocked the number and stretched out in the bed. Can we just sleep now. We have a very long day ahead of us tomorrow."

I nodded my head and turned out the lights not long after that we were out.
