Caitlyn's Prov

"Ell, what about this one?" Caitlyn asked holding up a royal blue boob tube.

I shook my head it was pretty, but it wasn't as pretty as the gold one I almost had.

"Oh I like that one." Mitchie smiled snapping it out of Caitlyn's hand.

I laughed as Mitchie inspected every hem of the dress, "Mitch, you already have one."

She pulled a disgusted face, "You don't honestly think I'm wearing the dress that trailer trash picked out?"

I smiled it felt good to have friends this loyal.

"So, what do you think?" She smiled as she held the dress up to herself pulling a few poses.

"I like it." I smiled giving her the thumbs up.

"O.k. now it's time to get you one." Caitlyn smiled.

My good mood vanished quickly; no dress was going to hold a candle to my gold dress.

"We can take a break from looking if you want?" Mitchie said picking up on my mood.

"Yeah, maybe grab something to eat?" Caitlyn suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea." I agreed.

Jason's Prov

I looked around the shop; it looked exactly like the one we were just in. Ella would never be caught dead in this shop because it sold real fur, I frowned at myself trying not to think about Ella was harder than I thought it would be.

"Jason!" Tess's high pitched voice yelled from across the shop, her voice didn't seem as alluring to me anymore it sounded more like a cat being straggled. "I need your opinion."

I rolled my eyes as I made my way across the shop floor to her she was holding up what looked like a bit of tinsel.

"What do you think?" She smiled as she wrapped the tinsel around her neck.

"What is it?"

"It's a scarf to go with my home coming dress; it's the same colour and everything."

"So, your dress is gold then." I smiled.

She nodded her expression read that she was still waiting for my answer.

"Well, then I think it's great." I said still thinking it looked like a bit of tinsel.

"I know." She beamed as she dragged me to the till with her.

******************************************************************

I got lost in my own thoughts again as Tess prattled on about her home coming dress as we exited the store. I wonder where Ella was for our last classes today. Wonder how she was? I hope she didn't cry, gawd I hated it when she cried.

As much as I wanted to deny the fact, I knew I still had feelings for her.

"Jason." Tess screeched as she tugged on my arm.

"Sorry, what were you saying Ella…I mean Tess?"

"Your still thinking about her, aren't you?" Tess stared accusingly at me.

I nodded glumly.

"It's o.k. Jason." Tess smiled. "After a break up you always feel like this."

The realisation set in Ella and I weren't together anymore, "Wow." I said quietly.

"What?"

"Nothing, it's just until you said it, I guess it didn't seem like Ella and I were officially over."

"Well you's are, aren't you? I mean you wouldn't want to be with some psycho that doesn't like you having female friends and beats them up."

I didn't like hearing Tess refer to Ella as a psycho but the last part was true would I want to be with someone that acts like that? But Ella didn't ever act like that before.

"Do we have to talk about this?" I asked wanting to get off the subject quickly.

"No we don't. Maybe instead we could talk about who you're gonna take to home coming now instead?" Tess smiled flirtatiously.

"Um…Tess I dunno if us going…" I was cut off by laughter but not just anyone's laughter…Ella's.

I scanned the crowds for her but before I knew it my head was being jerked downwards and Tess was pressing her lips tightly against mine.

Tess's Prov

He was turning me down!? This cannot be happening! It should be the other way around! I should be laughing in his face!

He trailed off half way through and started looking around him, the big idiot probably forgot where he was...or he heard her, I smiled wickedly as Ella and her loser friends broke through the large crowd, well if I can't have a date to home coming neither can they.

I looked up at him, the dumb dumb was looking in the wrong direction for her, looking towards the girls they hadn't seen us just yet but they were walking this way. I smiled again before standing on my tip toes and pulling Jason's face towards mine I would have to wash my mouth out a million times after this but it would be worth it I thought as I planted my lips on his.

Ella's Prov

"Finally." I gasped as we broke through the crowd.

"I thought we were never gonna get out." Mitchie laughed.

"Let's go again." Caitlyn smiled.

We all giggled at her as we walked towards Barney's; unfortunately we walked the way we had to pass the "high end" shops that sold real fur. EW!

I was still giggling as Mitchie and Caitlyn stopped abruptly; they both exchanged a glance before moving in front of me blocking my view.

"What's wrong?" I asked getting nervous as I watched the expressions on their faces; both looked annoyed and worried.

They didn't say anything Caitlyn turned her whole body around to see something I couldn't because they were in front of me while Mitchie looked at me with a worried expression.

"Guy's what…"

I stopped mid sentence as Caitlyn turned back to face me leaving a small gap so I could see what they didn't want me to.

Earlier in the day I swore my heart broke, to be honest I was just over reacting, I mean I know your heart can't physically break in two, but it sure as hell feels like it. The pain was unbearable, for a split second I actually thought I was going to pass out from the pain.

"Ell, come on you don't need to see this." Caity said as she went to help me go back the way we came.

I didn't move it felt like my feet were nailed to the ground and I couldn't look away from what was happening in front of me even though every second I did the pain I felt was getting worst.

"Tess, what are you doing?" I asked as I pulled her hands from the back of my head.

She just smiled, but not a friendly smile it was more like a smirk, before she gestured subtly to the crowd of people to our right.

No! I wanted to scream as Ella's eyes locked with mine, I could see the tears forming in her eyes and the pain in them was as clear as day.

I went to take a step towards her my voice no more than a whisper trying to call out her name, but she was gone in a matter of seconds lost in the sea of people.
