chapter 1- the ball
Olivia Pov:
“Come on, hurry up,” Skylar shouted from the bottom of the stairs. “I’m coming, I’m coming.” I replied. “well hurry, we are going to be late, to a freaking ball.” “yeah to a ball you’re forcing me to go to.” I heard a chuckle. I quickly put the finishing touches on my makeup and swiped the brush against my cheeks leaving a light pink streak of blush. I paired my blue dress with some silver high heels and rushed down the stairs. both of us were wide-eyed looking at each other’s dresses. “You look gorgeous Olivia.” “I could say the same about you, Skylar, you look hot!”

SKYLARS DRESS IS THE RED ONE:)
“WOW! you look beautiful.” demi (Skylar’s boyfriend) says. “And I would love to tell you every single thing I find sexy about this dress and you, but I’m afraid we can’t be any later than we are already.” demi says, all while getting closer to her, grabbing her waist and leaning closer to kissing her ear slightly. moments like these, I wish I had someone. I cleared my throat rather loudly indicating we should get going. he stared at me for like 3 seconds before saying “right well, let’s go”. he held out his hand in a ‘showing the way’ motion. I walked out right behind Skylar, and he followed.
when we got to the car he helped Skylar in, while the driver helped me into the blacked-out SUV. surrounded by guards. the ride was silent except for the occasional kissing sounds coming from my bestie and ‘her bae’. “stop bae your going to ruin my makeup.” Skylar says. “I can’t help it, you’re just so irresistible, and I love you.” I rolled my eyes at this. don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against him, and if she’s happy I’m happy, but they just met not even a full month, and he’s already throwing around the L- word.
“I love you too” I turned my head to look at Skylar so quickly with wide eyes, I probably looked like an owl. (for context purposes, Olivia is sitting by the right-hand window, demi is sitting in the left side window seat and Skylar is sitting in the middle. the driver is well driving in the driver seat and there is a guard in the passenger seat and 2 more guards in the back seat.) I don’t think they noticed me, because they were too busy looking into each other’s eyes, with big happy smiles and in that moment I wondered how it would feel to be truly in love, and if they were it was beyond me.
while staring at them I noticed a guard staring at me or more specifically my clevage. what little clevage I had. we made brief eye contact, I quickly turned back and continued staring out at the window. but I could still feel the guard’s eyes on me and it made me slightly uncomfortable. the rest of the ride was just me staring out of the window thinking about my life. more specifically my parents and how they left my life so abruptly. I don’t know if I can ever love. They were the only people I loved. well them and Skylar, I’m an only child so she is pretty much like the sister I never had but always wanted. it hurts every day without them.
It’s been almost a year. ironically they died on my 23rd birthday, which was supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life, Skylar organized a huge birthday party for me. and on my parents’ way driving to the party they were hit by a drunk driver, the driver didn’t even stop. it was a hit-and-run, but they never found the person, or maybe they just didn’t care. either way it hurts I never got to say goodbye and their killer is still out there. living life. unlike my parents. 2 days before my birthday aka the worst day of my life, we got into a fight about my birthday plans. I told them that I was grown and could do whatever I wanted and if they disagreed they didn’t have to come to my party. but they came or at least tried to come, but unfortunately, they didn’t make it. a sad chuckle sounded in my head
I didn’t even realize I had started crying and sniffing. until I felt Skylar’s hand on my shoulder asking me what was wrong? I just told her I was thinking about my parents. she pulled me towards her. she wipe my tears with the pad of her thumbs and told me that I shouldn’t cry anymore because it will mess up my makeup. we both started laughing at that. I looked at demi only to see him looking at me with a look of pure annoyance and a bit of confusion. like he was upset that I had taken away some of Skylar’s attention. I looked away and just stared into Skylar’s lap. and rested my head on her shoulder.
like 10 minutes later I felt the car stopped and the driver announced that we had arrived. I lifted my head to see that we were in front of a magnificent building it was huge and there were guarded with guns surrounding it. it was huge, bigger than my apartment complex, it had white and tan walls with a beautiful garden, there were flowers everywhere. demi of course helped Skylar out of the car. The passenger seat guard got out and helped me out. the guards escorted us into the ballroom and the inside was even more magnificent than the outside. as we walked in lots of eyes were on us, well more so Skylar and demi. well, this is going to be fun:(
