LONELINESS | Jasper Hale [2]

~CHAPTER 7: BREAKING POINT~

MY HEART was hammering in my chest, as Vivi and I were walking through the castle. I was constantly tugging on the cleavage of my dress, trying to cover myself more as I was feeling very exposed.

"Dora, stop that. It looks completely fine" said Genevieve, while pulling my hands off the dress.

I groaned saying "You're only saying that, because you made this dress. Besides I look ridiculous "

The golden haired woman stopped suddenly and looked at me " You . Look . B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. I mean it babe, just look at yourself"

Sighing I looked down at my velvet, long, green gown with long sleeves that had peacock feathers on them. I bit my lip and touched the emerald necklace that rested on, my exposed cleavage.

Vivi giggled while fixing the green mistletoe, that was pinned in the back of my hair "If I knew that you'd be blushing so much, I wouldn't put any blush on you babe"

"I don't even know why , we need to dress up so much. It's only dinner" I said while looking at my roommate's off shoulders golden gown and her golden braids pinned into a low bun.

"It's not just dinner Dora. It's a ball, made to celebrate your arrival" said Genevieve with a smile.

My heart stopped as I asked " WHAT?! "

"Yeah it was supposed to be a surprise party or something, but it's better that you know. I don't want you to pass out on my watch" she said with a small laugh.

I glared at the ground, with my already glowing purple eyes and turned around, heading to my room. I was done, I wasn't in a fucking mood for some party. Not after what happened on Bella's birthday.

"Dora? Fuck, Dorothea!" yelled Genevieve, as she catched my glowing hand.

"I'm not going. I came here to learn. Not party and act around some strangers. So fuck that party" I said while trying to pry my hand out of Vivi's grasp.

Genevieve grabbed my other hand and said "I know , okay?! I understand , but please come with me. Tomorrow morning you start your lessons. It won't hurt you to go and spend some time with your Godmother" I glared at her, but her soft expression didn't change, she only said "Please Dorothea. Do it for your Godmother, you're her only family"

Looking away I finally nodded. I couldn't say no to her last argument, I knew how happy Aldris is now that she met me. I could see it in her eyes.

"Alright" I whispered, as I raised my head adding "But you're stuck with me all the time. You're not even permitted to go to bathroom without me, Goldie "

Her golden eyes shined in happiness, as she grinned and wrapped her arm around mine saying "Deal, my sweet Violette "

I rolled my eyes and with that we continued walking, until Genevieve stopped in front of huge doors. I could hear people and music inside, which made my anxiety to act up. My hands started shaking and I felt my lungs squeeze, making my breathing harsh.
