I walked back into school after being gone for so long. And I hated it more than ever. Prom was this weekend and I haven't even bought my dress yet, so Izzy, Jazz, Bee and I were all going out after school to look for dresses for us. But that was in 4 hours.
I caught up with all my homework and did extra credit work to see that my grades were better than failing. After I had everything done, and my grades were back to being at solid B's, my day was over and Izzy was waiting for me at my locker.
"You know," She said as I put my stuff away. "I can't believe that you didn't tell me any of this." She leaned against the locker next to mine.
"I'm assuming Jazz caught you up with everything that happened?" I asked, tying my hair into a high bun. I walked downstairs after I put everything away and texted my mom that I'd be out with Izzy and the two 'bots.
"Yeah. Jesus, Nova. You've gone through some shit." She smiled in thanks as I held the door open for her as we walked outside to where our boyfriends were standing.
"Yeah, I mean I did die…and I thought 'Bee died, so I kind of tried to kill myself but it's all okay now and everything's fine." I brushed the topic off quickly as we made our way to the cars. "Are we going to the mall first?" I asked as I glanced at Izzy.
"Yes." She grinned, and then slid into the car, as I did the same and grinned at Bee.
"Okay, where are we going?" He asked, holding my hand automatically.
"Right now, to the mall so Izzy and I can find prom dresses. If we're lucky we'll find them since prom is tomorrow. My mom bought our tickets already so we're good on that." I told him. "Izzy made reservations for dinner. We're going to Olive Garden, and they're going to…Red Lobster." I shrugged. "But after we find dresses, we're getting our nails done, then we're going out to dinner, and then I believe home."
"Babe," I shut my mouth and looked at him. "You're rambling again." He whispered. "Ratchet wants to see us on Sunday too. About what happened in Chicago."
"The whole I can hear your voice thing?" I raised an eyebrow as I played music.
"Yeah, that thing." He chuckled, and then parked next to Jazz, as we all got out, and headed inside the Tranquility Mall. We walked through stores, and asked about the prom dresses that they had, usually they answered with 'we didn't have any'. Finally, we saw dresses in a window.
"Izzy, look." I grabbed her arm and pointed to the two dresses. She stopped with a gasp as Jazz and 'Bee looked at each other in confusion. Izzy and I walked inside, and got the two dresses and tried them on quickly.
I tried on a two piece, that was a black top and a maroon skirt, while Izzy tried on a wine colored dress where the bust was sparkly. We walked outside at the same time, and we both gasped at how we looked.
We both looked at each other, and gave each other nods, as we quickly turned around and changed back, and bought the dresses.
Izzy and I got ready the next day, and spent the day together since she had spent the night at my house. Once night had rolled around, we were both super nervous.
"What if he thinks I'm not pretty?" Izzy whispered as she put on her dress, as I helped her zip it up. I gave her a look through my mirror and rolled my eyes.
"Iz, shut up." I turned around so she could help me zip my top. "Jazz has fangirled to me about you, okay? It was over the radio when you were going back to California." I told her. "Everything's going to be okay," I promised her.
She finally nodded and then looked at me. "What if he shows up?" I frowned, shaking my head.
"I don't think he will," I whispered as I thought back to him.
He had a name, but I hated thinking of him. He was my kind-of boyfriend when the darkness first came around. He paid attention to me, and when I tried to first kill myself, he told me that I was crazy and wouldn't talk to me again. I keep him hidden along with the darkness.
I refocused my eyes when Izzy waved her hand in front of my face. "Nova, hey. Don't let it get to you, okay? If he shows up, you'll have to deal with Bee, Jazz and me." She gave me a smile, that I weakly returned before we heard my mom call our names.
The guys were here.
Izzy went first. I grinned at her when Jazz gasped, and told her how beautiful she looked. I knew automatically that she was blushing and happy. I was next.
"Okay, Nova, don't trip down the stairs," I whispered to myself, then walked down, making sure to hang onto the rail so I wouldn't actually fall. I made my way through the living room, and to the kitchen where Bee stood, suited in an all-black tux.
He didn't speak for the longest time as he stared at me. I paused as felt so much admiration and love fill my body. I blinked at him and then smiled when he whispered a single word. "Wow."
I smiled and blinked at the flash from my mom's camera. I turned to her, "Mom!"
She grinned at us. "I'm not even sorry."
Once we got to the venue where prom was being held, I took an anxiety pill just so I wouldn't have a panic attack if he showed up. I had told Bee about him, he's known for months. But I usually never thought about it. I hated him with all my being.
Bee grinned down at me and then grabbed out tickets from his jacket pocket, handing me one as we walked inside and gave a teacher our tickets, as he made sure that Bee was on the list, and then we were inside.
"Nova!"
This can't be happening. My anxiety pill hasn't kicked yet.
I took a step back as Izzy and Jazz joined us, while Bee stood in front of me as he walked toward us.
Bee raised an eyebrow at him. "Can I help you?" Bee's voice had dropped lower, he talked in that tone when he was really pissed off, or when he was teasing me. But this time, he was more than pissed off.
"I'm a friend of Nova's. I just wanted to say hi." He lied, as he winked at me. Bee let out a low noise that sounded a lot like a growl, as he looked back him.
"You aren't anything to her," Bee growled. "You are a worthless piece of shit that never deserves anyone to love you. You can leave."
He quickly disappeared, as everyone turned me. "Are you okay?"
I took a shaky breath and then gave them a nod. "Yeah, but I don't want to stay long."
Bee nodded. "One slow dance." He whispered, grabbing my hand. "Then we can go to Perkins and eat food. You have someone to meet, by the way." He winked, then pulled me into the dance hall.
I had a thought, dear
However scary
About that night
The bugs and the dirt
Why were you digging?
What did you bury
Before those hands pulled me
From the earth?
Bees' hand's wrapped around my bare waist as my arms wrapped around his neck, as he smiled down at me, "Everything's okay, baby. Nothing can hurt you while I'm here." He whispered. I gave him a smile and laughed when he twirled me slowly, before pulling me back close to his chest.
I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask you, neither should you
I closed my eyes as I rested my head against his chest, listening to his too fast heartbeat, as we rocked back and forth, together in our own world, not paying attention to anyone else.
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do
I smiled when I felt Bee's head rest on top of mine, as I thought back to everything that's happened in the past 11 months. I met Bumblebee, I fell in love with him. I made new friends. I fought in wars. I died for five minutes. I brought someone back to life. I defeated the darkness. I was finally happy.
I knew that look dear
Eyes always seeking
Was there in someone
That dug long ago
So I will not ask you
Why you were creeping
In some sad way, I already know
I looked back at Bee as he looked at me with love and such feeling that I thought my chest was going to burst. He smiled at me and pressed a kiss to my forehead as we danced. "Nova," He whispered as I looked up at him. "You've made me so happy." He grinned at me, as I smiled, and buried my face in his chest once again.
So, I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask you and neither would you
I smiled at Izzy as she watched Bee and I dance, as Jazz's arms were wrapped around her, a big grin on his face as he smiled back at us. I looked up at Bee, and kissed him quickly, listening to the music.
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do
Bee smiled against my lips, as he kissed me back, pulling me even closer than I was before. "I love you." He whispered as he pulled away, his bright eyes shining. I smiled and kissed him softly once more.
I could not ask you where you came from
I could not ask you, neither could you
"I love you more," I answered back. "You cannot argue with me; I will always love you more," I whispered. "You've made me the happiest I've ever been, and I tried to leave this world more than once," I whispered, hugging him, and pressing my face into his neck, lightly kissing his skin in thank you.
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We could just kiss like real people do
He smiled at me and slowly stopped rocking as the song ended quietly. We watched each other without words, somehow feeling exactly what we wanted. Communication without saying anything. It felt like our souls knew what they wanted to express, but we couldn't get the words out.
"I love you." He whispered, but his lips didn't move, I only heard his voice in my mind as I felt happy, yet relaxed.
"I love you." I thought, smiling when he glanced down at me with surprise, we loved that we could talk like this, but we both weren't sure why.
After prom was over, we did, in fact, go to Perkins, and spent hours at After Prom, having fun and being able to let ourselves go as we enjoyed the night. On the way to the base, we kept the radio on so Izzy and Jazz could say goodnight since Jazz was spending the night with Izzy.
"Well, children." I laughed, "Be safe, Izzy, don't get pregnant because I will kill you, and so will your mother." I told them. Jazz let out a laugh, and Izzy gasped at my words before she told Jazz to disconnect the radio.
We arrived at the base at 5 AM since the Autobots had moved bases' again since everyone that was a part of NEST lived in California, and made it easier for everyone. I frowned when a large jeep sped past us, and into a parking spot that the base had, as a man got out of the car, and leaned against the driver's door.
He was very, very, very largely built, and most of it seemed to muscle and height. He had a good half foot against Bee, and a foot against me when it came to height. Bee looked at me, and grinned as he parked, and got out of the car, as I followed suit.
"Bumblebee!" The unknown man called out, giving him a hug before he looked at me. He was very tan and had a beard and long hair to match. "Is this your lucky lady?" He looked down at me as I approached them. He had a gruff voice to match too, and a scar that ran through his eyebrow.
He grinned down at me, before he hugged me lightly, as he didn't want to break me. "I'm Shift, it's nice to finally meet you." He smiled, "We haven't met only because I landed in Canada and was driving down here." He explained.
"It's nice to meet you too." I grinned, and then looked at Bee, as I realized how tired I actually was. Bee chuckled and then nodded.
"Go to room 432. I'll be there in a second." He gave me a light kiss, and then I was off to find the room, and to sleep.
Okay, this chapter was so long, holy shit. It's currently 1:30 AM and I'm dead beat tired. Yes, shift is an OC Autobot, but don't worry, it'll make sense. His faceclaim is Jason Momoa (literally I based Shift off of him). The song that I used for the prom scene is called Like Real People Do by Hozier and I hope you listened to while reading or are right now because it's the cutest thing and I might have cried while listening to this song. Anyhow, I'm tired. So, as always. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, leave them for me to read. — REMEMBER, NO FLAMES.
