Chapter 10 - Thursday

-LPOV-

I heard someone yell at me from the other side of my bedroom door.

"Leah! GET UP!" Seth yelled.

Ugh. Leave me alone. I want to sleeeeeep.

I head my door open, so I threw a pillow in that general direction.

"You missed." Seth announced.

"Go away!!!!" I whined.

"Okay. Oh look, a laptop. And it's really cute too! I'd better snatch it up before someone else does!" Seth cried, sounding similar to a fan-girl.

"Seth. I know your bluffing." I said.

"Oh! Let's take a peek at Leah's word documents! Midnight Blue, Dreams of a Shattered Heart, Walking Alone.. it goes on and on and on!" Seth exclaimed.

I ripped off my comforter and literally jumped out of my bed. I saw Seth slowly backing away, laptop in tow. I had taken one step before he bolted out of the room.

"SETH!!!! I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU EVEN TOUCH ONE OF MY WORD DOCS!!!!!" I roared.

I saw his finger hit the save button. He'd erased one of my stories. NO! NO! NO!!

"SETH!!!!" I gasped.

"Leah, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to! It was an accident!" Seth apologized, a desperate look on his face.

"No Seth, your birth was an accident." I said, snatching my laptop before sprinting back to my room.

I ran in and slammed the door, locking it before I lay my laptop gently on my bed. I can not believe Seth did that. 74 pages of writing. Gone.

I refused to even listen as Seth pleaded with me from the other side of my door. I grabbed my iPod (a birthday present from Taylor last year) and ran into the bathroom, setting it in the dock.

..-20 minutes later-..

I walked into my closet, quickly picking my outfit. Dark blue skinny jeans, a black shirt and a purple sweater. I also grabbed my black Converse and swiftly put them on, along with the rest of my outfit.

I stuffed my books into my bag and put my laptop in it's case before putting that in the bag too.

I slung my bag over my shoulder and unlocked my door. I heard a honk outside and ran out the door, not bothering to lock it. Seth wouldn't be leaving yet. He was probably hoping he could catch me at the door. Too late for that.

I opened the back door, only to see Luna sitting there, pointing at the front seat.

I opened the front door and leaped into the seat quickly. I set my bag on the floor and greeted Taylor and Luna. They kept talking, but I was kind of in my own world. Mostly thinking of ways to kill Seth.

We arrived at school and Taylor had to poke me several times before I realised that the car had stopped moving.

Luna pulled me aside as soon as I had exited the car. She linked arms with me and started talking. I think it was about the dance or something.

"Right Leah? Leah. Leah? LEAH!" Luna yelled, inches from my face.

"Mmmm?" I murmured.

"Are you okay? You seem kind of distant today." Luna observed.

"Yeah. Fine." I said.

"Great, so you can come up to Port Angeles today after-school and help me pick out a dress for the dance. Maybe we can get you one too!" Luna exclaimed.

"Sure I'll help you, and thanks Lu, but I doubt anyone will ask me anyway." I mumbled.

"Leah. You are really special. Any boy would be grateful to even get the chance to talk to you. Plus, I think I know some one who might want to ask you..."

"Really? Who?"

"Sorry, but my lips are sealed." She said, miming zipping her lips.

"Fine. But if I'm not asked by the end of the week, I'm returning the dress."

"Leah, you are going to that dance with the boy who will ask you, and you will say yes, and you will have fun! Got it?"

"Yep."

We went our separate ways and I quickly settled into homeroom. Ash was peppering me with questions about the dance.

Was this all people could talk about? It was just the Spring Fling. And why was everyone talking like they were hiding something? Was there some big secret nobody wanted me to know about?

Homeroom passed quickly, and the rest of the day went by in a similar fashion.

..-After-school-..

I hopped into the front seat of Taylor's car once again, only this time we weren't travelling the familiar road home. Yet.

We made it to Port Angeles quickly, singing along to the radio the entire time.

All three of us made our way into a dress shop. We would get Taylor's outfit later.

I was told to sit down with Taylor and wait for Luna to come back.

Taylor talked to me about random stuff, his eyes twinkling with delight the whole time.

Luna had been gone for a few minutes when I decided that my best friend should know who I liked.

"Hey Tay, can I tell you a secret?" I asked.

"Of course, Leah." he said.

"Okay, and you promise not to tell anyone?" I inquired.

" Yes!!! Just tell me Leah!" he sighed, looking impatient.

"Okay. I like Skye." I mumbled to my feet.

"WHAT?!"

-TPOV-

"Okay. I like Skye." Leah whispered.

" WHAT?!" I yelled, earning a few stares.

"I know, I know, it seems strange." Leah chuckled.

Oh god, she thought I was surprised.

Well, I was. But I was also angry and sad, not to mention hurt.

"I'm just so glad to get it off my chest." Leah sighed.

"Yeah, good to know." I murmured, trying hard not to sound too disappointed.

-LPOV-

I saw the twinkle in Taylor's eye disappear the moment Skye's name left my mouth. Oh god, I'd offended him hadn't I?

There was an awkward silence until Luna came back with the dresses. I'd wanted so badly to say something, but the hurt in his eyes told me to stay quiet.

I tried on the first dress, which was blue with a flower pattern. I'll admit, that on the hanger it looked granny-ish, but it actually looked cute on me. I took the second one off the hanger; yellow, with white trim and straps. I liked it better than the blue one. I slid the third dress off of the hanger, it was also yellow, but with a halter top.

This process went on for a while, until I found the perfect dress.

It was grey and slowly faded to a pink at the bottom. I ran out of the dressing room and stood in front of Luna and Taylor.

"Luna! I love it so much!!!" I exclaimed.

"Don't thank me, thank him." She said, absentmindedly, not lifting her eyes from the magazine she was reading.

"Thanks Tay!" I half yelled, kissing him on the cheek and running back into the stall to change back to my normal clothes.

When I came out, Luna had put the dress on hold, and we were out the door. We passed two stores before entering another one.

Luna had left me and Taylor to talk again, when I saw a pretty blonde staring at Taylor.

I glared at her and she looked away. Wait...What just happened? Since when did I care if other girls were staring at Taylor? Or hitting on him? Or kissing him? I felt jealousy envelope my mind at the last one. What the hell was happening to me?

I shook off those thoughts and looked at Taylor. He was deep in thought. I could tell by the look in his eyes. His beautiful, beautiful eyes.

NO! STOP.

I looked at the counter and saw Blondie staring at Taylor again. I told him, and we came up with a devious plan to destroy any chance she had with him. I texted Luna telling her to meet us in the fitting rooms, and to get the camera on her phone ready. She agreed and I saw her hurry into the room.

Taylor intertwined our hands and I pretended to whisper something suggestive into his ear. I was actually just making sounds, but the dirty grin that got plastered on his face after gave the blonde no doubt it was suggestive whispering. I got up and began to lead him to a stall in the fitting rooms. I saw a flash of red and knew Luna was ready and in position. She would have to get on the floor to record it all though. As soon as the stall was locked I heard what sounded like an attempt to be stealthy and knew the blonde was outside the stall. Taylor and I stood against a wall; from the outside it would look like he was pushing me against it. We began clicking our tongues in a way that only me and him knew how to so it would sound like we were making out. I stopped clicking and began breathing heavily. I was actually trying not to laugh, but that's not what the blonde would think. To make it look more real, I wrapped one of my legs around Taylor's waist and 'quietly' whispered Taylor's name. After that, we separated and unlocked the stall slowly, and heard a scurry of footsteps get quieter and quieter.

We came out and Luna left first, and then Taylor said something embarrassing so I would look flushed. Luna paid for some bangles and then exited the store, giving us time for our big finish. We slowly walked up to the counter, with Taylor's arm wrapped around my waist. I saw that the blonde had a scowl on her face. I leaned over the counter and waited until the blonde was looking at me.

"Honey, you should take that scowl of your face, or you'll never end up with this." I said, while running my hand down Taylor's chest.

The blonde's mouth formed a big 'O' and we walked out, laughing the entire time.

I chuckled to myself as we walked into the next store. And then, I found The One. It was yellow, with a rather low neckline, but it didn't look whore-ish. There was a belt-like thing under the chest and it went down to about my mid-knee.

Luna had found her perfect dress too, (it was pretty much a green version of mine, except with a bow at the front, and it seemed more girlie) and she paid for both while I begged her not to. She did anyway. We bought Taylor a cute yellow button up shirt and a new pair of jeans.

After that, we stopped by a McDonalds to pick up some food before the ride home. We ate in silence, and when I finished my meal Taylor switched places with me, and I drove home. Once i was out of the car, Taylor went back to the drivers seat, and I watched the shiny red car get smaller and smaller.

I smiled to myself as I walked in the door. I dashed up the stairs and threw my stuff onto my bed. I then changed into my pyjamas, which was a tank top and shorts. Soon after, I went back downstairs and told my mom about my day, and then showed her the dress. She too, loved it.

She left after, and I began reading a book I had to do a report on for English. As the hours passed, one page blended into another and darkness consumed my eyelids.
