Chapter 9 - BPOV
The homecoming dance is tonight. I should be happy, but I'm not.
I get ready and then I wait for Mike to show up.
He's late... again.
What is with that?
I could be at the dance already, but no I have to wait for him.
Finally he arrives.
He is wearing a tux and of course my mom gushes about how handsome he looks, and what a beautiful pair we make.
My dress is royal blue and of course matches his tie.
God could she be anymore annoying. She always thinks we'll get married. Hell to the no. Not gonna happen.
She makes us pose for stupid pictures, so not liking this.
He leans in to kiss me and I can smell the alcohol on his breath.
I turn my head away from him.
He knows how pissed I am as we walk to the car.
I take the keys from him and drive us there.
Walking into the gym, he tries to put his arm around my waist and I move out of the way.
I don't want him to touch me.
My thoughts have of been of someone else lately.
I wonder if he's here.
I scan the room and see him sitting there.
I smile.
