"Oh my God! You look beautiful!" Screamed Beth.
We were in my room getting ready for the party. It took three hours to get dressed and apply our makeup. And now we were both done and was looking at ourselves in the mirror.
My long brown hair was curled and came down in waves down my shoulders. I had on light makeup of mascara and pink lipstick. I was in a white tank top with flowers on it and a black skinny jeans. I wore a white slippers on my feet.
I have to admit, I looked amazing. "Yes, I know. You too."
She smiles and looks at herself. She was wearing a red tank top blouse and black jeans. Her black hair was also curled and loose around her shoulders. She smiled "Yeah, but you are going to knock Nate off his feet."
I roll my eyes. "I don't know about that."
It was now 7pm and Nate was going to be here any minute.
"I have to go, my ride is going to be here any minute." Beth said excitedly.
Oh! Did I mention she has a boyfriend? She does and she is head over heels in love with him. I was really happy for them.
I hear the doorbell, as we take up our jackets and went downstairs. My mom was at work, so I went to get the door.
I open it to see Brian Stevens standing on the porch step.
"Hi Julia." He smiles at me.
"Hey Brian."
Beth came up beside me and gave Brian a long kiss. "Hey babe, you ready?" He asks.
"Yes." Beth said. Just then, a black Mercedes pulled up my drive.
"That must be my date." I said. We went outside and I lock the door.
Brian and Beth went in Brian's car and drove away. I went up to Nate's car, where he stood holding the door for me.
"You look amazing." He said when I reach him.
I felt my cheeks getting red as I looked down nervously. "Thanks." I said.
I went in the car and he closes the door and went around the drivers' side. I put my seatbelt on as he starts the car and pulls onto the road.
The car ride was silent for the entire journey to Matt's house. But it was not an uncomfortable silence.
Fifteen minutes later, we pull up to the house. The party was already started and the place was crowded. I got out of the car when I notice that Nate was not going to pull the door for me.
I look around the front yard where empty red solo cups were thrown everywhere. People were at the side of the house making out or on the lawn lying down already drunk. Loud music was blaring from inside the house.
Nate came up beside me and took my elbow ushering me inside. Inside the room was more crowded and the music was louder.
"Want something to drink?" Nate shouts over the noise.
"Yes, thank you." I said, also shouting.
He left and went over to the bar. I look around to see if I could spot Beth, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Nate came back with a beer for himself and handed me a soda.
"Want to dance?" He asked.
"Sure." I replied. I still could not believe I was at the party with Nate Benjamin.
We went over to the dance floor and started dancing to Party In The USA by Miley Cyrus.
Nate was behind me and he put his hands on my hips and moved behind me. We danced for five minutes until I was tired.
"Let's go somewhere quiet for a while." Nate whispers in my ear.
I hesitantly agreed and we went into one of the rooms down the hall on the left. Nate closes the door and came up to me and starts kissing me instantly. I was shock and didn't respond at first and then I kiss him back.
He put his hand on my butt and pulls me closer to him. He groans and remove his lips from my mouth and move to my neck kissing it. I gasped when he lift up my shirt pushing his hands under.
I push him away then. He looks at me with confusion and lust in his eyes.
"We have to stop, Nate." I said quietly.
"Why? We were having fun." He leans over trying to kiss me again, but I back away.
"No." I said. He looks angry and he pulls me closer crashing his lips on mine.
I shriek and kick him in his jewels.
Yes, I kicked him where the sun doesn't shine.
He bent over in pain and look at me with anger in his eyes. "You little slut. Don't act like you are a virgin." He spat.
I slap him right across the face and head for the door, slamming it behind me. I went into the living room looking for Beth. I spot her dancing with Brian. She was having fun.
Not because my night sucked, I should ruin her night also, I said to myself as I head to the front door.
Once outside, I decided to walk. My house was about twenty minutes away, it was no problem.
Five minutes in my journey, it started raining heavily. The night was cold so I pull my jacket tighter around me.
Great!
What else can go wrong?
I walk for fifteen more minutes in the rain that hadn't let up one bit and then I was home. My parents was not home as yet. My mom was still at work and dad was on another business trip. Thank God, because I couldn't deal with all the questions right now.
I went upstairs and took of my wet clothes and went straight to bed. My teeth were chattering, so I bundled myself in my blanket. I just wanted to sleep and forget about tonight completely.
"Is Liam going to the prom with you on Friday?" Bethany asks me as we walk to our mathematics class.I shrug. "I don't think so. Dances are not his scene. He told me that before.""Oh okay." Beth said."If he doesn't want to go, I understand. I'm not going to hold that against him. I'm still going to go to prom and enjoy myself." I said, smiling at her.She grins back. "Oh yes and remember that you are a prom queen nominee." She said in a singsong voice.I groan when she said that. I didn't really care for prom queen, but Jasmine had nominated me when I was in the hospital. I didn't even know. I was shocked when I heard my name being called over the intercom as a prom queen nominee last month. I didn't even campaign because I didn't care to win.After a while Jasmine adds. "By the way, I snuck in and saw the work you guys did on the decorations. I like it." She compliments."Yes it is." I said smiling in reminiscence at the work we had done.A month back, I had went to help Simone wit
Julia's POVI awoke the next morning, feeling more rested. As soon as I open my eyes, I find Liam watching me.I stretch and smile at him. "Were you watching me sleep?" I ask."Yes." He said, returning my smile. "I love watching you."My smile broaden at his comment. I then look over at the table near the window. It was laden with get-well cards and flowers. I saw them yesterday, but was too tired to really look at them.Liam follows my line of sight and looks at the flowers as well. "A lot of your friends visited and brought those." He explains. He then points at a bunch of purple flowers. "Those are from me.""There are all beautiful." I said quietly.He then gestures to the room. "And this room that you are in, is courtesy of my dad. He paid to have you moved into this comfortable room with everything you need."My eyes widen. "Your dad paid for this room?" He nods. "Wow...I guessed I really missed a lot." I didn't know that he was talking to his dad again."Yeah. He came yesterday
Liam's POVAnother day has passed and now today was Wednesday. After school, I decided to go to the park, just to think about things. It was very hard to go through something like this again. However, no matter how heartbroken and devastated I am, I will never turn my back on her. I will never leave her. I know deep down that she needs me more than ever.I soon left the park and went to the hospital. I pass Julia's parents in the hallway, as they both headed to the hospital's cafeteria. They both had left work early and was here since then. After talking to them a little bit, I went up to Julia's room. I walk over to the chair that was beside her bed and sit down.I was in the room for ten minutes, when I hear a light knock on the door. I look towards the doorway and see that it was my mother. She begins to walk towards me and I get up to meet her halfway."Liam, your father is here to see you." She said. I was about to tell her that he was the last person I wanted to see right now, b
Liam's POVThe weekend had come and gone, but Julia still hadn't woken up. It has now been four days and I was beginning to think the worse.Today was now Monday and I have decided to go to school. Even though, I didn't want to, I knew that I had to, because I couldn't keep skipping school. I was currently at home getting ready for school. I still hadn't eaten a full meal, only small bites and my mother was beginning to worry about me.As soon as I was ready, I got in my car and drive to school. When I reach school, I park in the parking lot and get out. I enter the school building and walk to my locker. Students in the hallway gave me looks; some were sympathetic and some were just blank. I held my head straight and ignore them. I didn't feel like dealing with anyone right now.I get my books out of my locker and went to my first class of the day. Mathematics was one of my favourite subjects, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't concentrate. My maths teacher was currently expla
Liam's POVThe following day was Friday and Julia still hadn't woken up. There was no improvement; her condition was the same. Yesterday, I had went home to have a shower, changed my clothes and bring back anything that I would need. I came back to the hospital right after.My mother had called me to try and convince me to go to school today, but I still refused. Surprisingly, she didn't argue with me. Julia's parent hadn't been to work either. They had asked for two days off. Beth and Brian did not go to school today either, but Brian had took Beth home to get some things.I was currently sitting on the chair that I had been on since I got to the hospital. I suddenly look up to see Dr. Barnes walking towards us.He greets us with a smile. "Julia can be visited by friends now." He relates. I nod my head at him, before he walks away again. I get up from my seat and begin to walk towards room 205.When I reach the door, I open it and step inside the room. Instantly, my eyes went to Juli
Liam's POVIt was now around 7pm and I was still at the hospital. I didn't plan on leaving, not until Julie wakes up.Julia's mom was asleep on the chair that she was on. Her father had went home to get some blankets to bring here. Beth was asleep as well. Her head was placed in Brian's lap, who was stroking her hair gently. He looks tired as well."Liam!" I hear my mother's voice. I look down the corridor and saw her walking towards me. I had called her earlier and informed her about what had happened. She said she would be here as soon as she left work.I stand up to meet her. She wraps her arms around me in a hug, when she reaches me. "I'm so sorry, honey." She said quietly. She pulls away and looks at me with a sad expression. "How is she? Have you heard anymore news?"I sigh and shoves my hands in my pants pockets. "No. No development." I answer, my voice cracking a bit."Oh honey." Her eyes then trails over to where Julia's mother lay, still asleep. "I can imagine what her mothe
