Grace's POV.
'' Alex you think this is enough dressy for the night?'' I point to my laced half transparent dark dress Amanda bought it for me for Alex's party that I've left it in the closet since it got in the house.
It's like an after party this thing we have to go to, there will be a lot of famous people. I'm not looking forward to see anyone in particular besides Ed to be frank. I don't even know half of the celebs that will be attending anyway.
'' Oh my. Look who came out straight from the cover of a magazine. You're stunning, everyone will be wanting to talk to you. And if I'm lucky I will probably use you to find new friends and leave you behind.'' I cringe my nose and mock his tone playfully.
I'm going to have fun tonight and I want for it to be perfect. I gather my hair up and turn my back to him chewing my inner cheek and glaring at the person in the mirror. '' Up or down?'' I ask Alex referring to my hair.
'' I don't know? Sometimes you just treat me like that gay friend you ask fashion advices to. I don't actually understand much about that crap in case you forgot.'' I spin around and puff, flattering my eyelashes childish.
'' Let's put it this way then. If I was a drawing you were working on, you would be designing me with the hair down or up?'' Alex touches his chin staring at me for a couple of minutes. He takes everything so seriously.
'' Down. I like it wild and out of control.'' He winks and I move my hair to one shoulder. It's curly and fluffy, I don't know how in hell I've managed to get this result but when I got out of the shower hours ago and I dried it, it just grown and became this mob of messy waves which doesn't really bothers me since I look kind of nice. Alex is right, down is better.
'' Grace.'' Alex catches my attention and I turn, the lipstick still on my hand halfway from my lips. '' You don't have to come if you don't want. I know you need to clear your mind and stuff but if you want, we could just stay indoors and chill out watching rerunning of whatever you desire. I'm not much of the party animal either.'' He forcefully laughs and I'm so thankful for his concern although I'm fine. I need a night of fun, it will cheer my mood and the bad feeling that is eating me alive from the inside will go away.
The missing of something that's what is it. Something I need like the air but I'm willing to learn how to survive without it and I will start from tonight. It have to. I owe this to myself.
'' Alex. My lovely brother.'' I tease his accent and we both giggle before I cup his face with my hands and rub my fingers on his cheeks, '' I wonder if there will ever be someone who knows me better than you do. I assure you though, I want to go. I want to have a sick time and lose control and laugh and dance. Just for tonight, I'm willing to try a taste of a different world, then we can come back to reality but just for today, let me be a princess. A kick-ass one but still a princess.'' Alex wraps his fingers around my wrists and gives them a little squeeze.
