Hey guys, I was really bored a few minutes ago so I decided to write another chapter now instead of this weekend like I planned.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Alli's POV
I woke up Friday morning to Sav pounding on my door, I was so startled I fell off the bed right on the floor where I'd left my new high heels for the dance tonight. I sighed and stood up before running into my bathroom and taking a quick shower before blow drying my hair and throwing on a mini skirt, blue tank, and black heels before rushing out the door, thankfully my mom and dad went to work early and didn't catch me in this outfit as I made my way to the Dot to get a coffee before school starts. Once I walked in the building I went up to the front and ordered a coffee and sat on one of the stools while waiting.
A few minutes later when I had paid and was walking out the door, the black hearse I know very well drove by and stopped right next to me on the side walk and the back door popped open to reveal Adam.
"Get in!" He called to me sitting back in his seat as I walked in and shut the door before putting my seat belt on and taking a sip. It was quite awkward sitting next to Adam who only the day before asked me to the dance tonight.
"Thanks." I said to Eli who wasn't even listening. Instead just talking to Clare about tonight.
"Can I have a sip?" I heard from beside me, I turned to Adam and smiled, nodding and handing over my coffee. He took a big gulp and handed it back.
"That was more than a sip." I said sarcastically taking a large gulp myself. His cheeks turned pink and he looked down.
"Sorry?" He said as more of a question.
"It's ok." I giggled handing it over and motioning for him to have more. "You can finish it, I'm done." I told him as he slowly took it out of my hand letting our fingers brush against eachothers for a moment before taking the cup to his lips for a smaller sip.
"Thanks." He said smiling at me. We didn't say another word the rest of the ride, we just kept exchanging glances here and there.
"Yo, love birds!" Eli called from the front making us both look up and turn pink. "We're here." He said getting out of the car and walking inside next to Clare. I giggled and took off my seat belt. As I got out of the car Adam appeared next to me and very nervously slid his hand around mine, engulfing my fingers in his and holding it tightly. I looked down and smiled at this as we walked into the building together.
Clare's POV
Once Math class was over I went to Science where I sat with Adam who was obviously not paying attention and was day dreaming about somthing, or someone.
"Whacha thinking about?" I asked, sitting next to him, and startling him in the process.
"Oh, hi." He said sitting up and facing me. "Do you think Alli really likes me, or did she only say yes to be nice, or is it because-" He started rambling but I cut him off my clamping my hand over his mouth.
"Relax Adam, she really does like you." I told him taking my hand off his mouth revealing a small smile. He nodded his head before turning to face the teacher who was now going on about well somthing, I don't know I wasn't paying attention.
"Thanks." I heard a whisper next to me, I looked over at Adam who was still looking forward as if nothing had been said, I nodded even though I knew he wouldn't know and turned back to the front of the class.

"So after school, Eli will drop you off at my house and we'll get ready and they'll pick us up for the dance." Alli repeated for probably the fifth time since we got to lunch making sure we all knew the plans.
"Yeah, we got it." Eli said rolling his eyes and taking a bite of his peperoni pizza from the cafe. I slapped his shoulder.
"Be nice." I whispered to him, but he just gave a pouty face and sighed. I rolled my eyes as we continued going over details for the dance, the sleepover, and the party at Adam's tomorrow.
"So it starts at 8:00," Adam was saying, "but it proabably won't pick up till about 9 or 10." He finished taking a sip of his apple juice he got from the vending machine. We all nodded in understanding as the bell rang signalling the end of lunch.

Finally the end of the day came and Eli drove Alli and I to her house with all my things while he and Adam went back to 'our' home to get ready or play video games or read, or whatever they do when they hang out.
Alli dragged me into her kitchen where she grabbed two bottles of water and pulled me upstairs making me almost drop my things on the ground. We were finally in her room when she told me to go take a shower and then she'd help me get ready.
"Why are we getting ready so early, we still have like 4-6 hours." I told her as she was pushing me in the bathroom.
"We're girls!" She said as she shut the door behind me and left me alone to get ready, I could hear her in the other room rummaging through drawers and throwing things around. I just shook my head and turned the shower on while getting in.
I took a quick shower and was in some pj's Alli lent me while she showered. Once she was done she blow dried my still damp hair and then hers before, she curled my hair to make the little ringlets more "bouncy" look as she put it. She just blow dried her's while sitting on the bed next to me.
"Ok so I need to make sure we have the perfect make up for you. I'll be right back." She said getting up off her bed and walking out of the room and down the stairs. I could hear the small foot falls of her on the stairs as she was getting furthur away. Thump, thump, thump. Then nothing.
I waited in her room for about 15 minutes and almost fell asleep by the time she came back in with her hands and arms piled with different lip sticks, eye shadows, blushes, mascaras, etc. She dropped everything on the bed before arranging them in sections.
"Do you have any cover up in your bag?" She asked looking over at me, I nodded my head and went downstairs to get it out of my back pack. When I picked it up and turned around I bumped into Sav who I didn't even know was there.
"Oh sorry." He said looking down at me, I could tell I was probably blusing from embarassment.
"It's ok." I said dropping my head and rushing up the steps and back into Alli's room. She was just staring at each section of makup slowly picking one things up and replacing it with another.
"Here." I said tossing the cover up on her bed and plopping down on her chair at her vanity.
"Come here." She said, as I got up and she picked up one lip stick and held it up next to me face and stared at me for a few seconds. I suddenly felt self cautious and avoided eye contact. She looked back at the other lip sticks and glosses on the bed before picking up a dark pink one and holding it up to my face and smiling. She then set it aside on her vanity and we repeated this process for nail polish, eye shadow, and blush before she picked out her make up supply then turned to me.
"Ok, we can begin." She said clapping her hands together and turning me to face away from the mirror and toward her. She then told me to close my eyes as she began making me her life sized doll.
About 15 minutes later she was done and when she was done she turned me around to look at the results and I must say I was impressed. It wasn't to much and it wasn't to little, honestly other than cover up I never wore make up so this was shocking to look at now. I turned to look at her as she was standing against the wall next to me smiling.
"Wow." I said as she pushed off and pulled me up.
"I know right!" She said as she pulled her mascara out and got to work on herself.
Another 15 minutes and she was done and now going to get dressed in the bathroom. I pulled my dress out and waited for her to come out, which she did moments later looking amazing.
"Alli, you look so pretty!" I said as she walked back over to the vanity to check and see if any make up smudged.
"I know, go get dressed." She said laughing as I walked in the bathroom and changed. Once I was in my dress I started panicing due to the fact that my gauze covered wrists were visible now and anyone could know in a matter of seconds.
"Alli I don't know." I said as I walked out and she looked over at me then down at my wrists.
"I'll show you, I'm better with cover up than you think." She said grabbing my left wrist and slowly unwrapping the gauze revealing the cuts. She was the only one who I had really let see them and as soon as she did she gasped. "Clare, these look... fresh." She said looking up at me in alarm.
"Alli relax." I told her avoiding eye contact.
"Clare, Eli will murder you if he finds out!" She whisper shouted.
"Eli won't find out, got it?" I said looking her in the eyes. She looked down then sighed before picking up the cover up without another word.

A few hours later we were ready and in Alli's living room, watching TV. Alli did really good on me, you couldn't even see the cuts anymore unless you were looking extreamly close and hard for them. We were waiting for the guys as Sav walked down in black dress pants a dark blue dress shirt and brown shoes.
"Very nice." Alli said examining him from her spot next to me on the couch. He looked over at us from the door and smiled walking into the living room.
"Thanks, let me get a look on you girls." He said leaning on the door frame and staring at us. Alli stood taking my hand and pulling me up with her, we both stood up and he checked over each of us smiling. "You guys look really nice." He told us as his phone went off and he answered it. "Hello? yeah...I'm on my way now...ok bye." He said as he hung up. "I gotta go get Holly J(1)." He said as he walked toward the door and picked up his keys.
"Have fun." Alli called as he opened the door.
"You too!" He called back shutting the door behind him. We both turned our attention back to the TV trying to find a good show that was on when the doorbell rang.
"Oh well, here goes nothing." Alli said shutting the TV off and walking toward the door with me behind her.
(1) I like Sav and Holly J as a couple so deal with it. Also the name of this chapter. Own The Night, it has nothing to do with the chapter I just really like Lady Antebellum. Anyway until next time.
