Chapter 14 is here! And thanks for the reviews! :)


Chapter 14

I gasped when I saw Usui standing behind me.

"Crap! Usui you scared me!" I clutched my chest to calm myself down. "You really are an outer space alien."

"You look beautiful." He said. He was wearing a simple black tux. My prince charming looks so dashing.

I blushed at what he said and muttered, "Whatever." He chuckled and offered his hand.

"You're gonna have the time of your life Misa-chan. I'll make sure of it." He whispered as we walked toward the school gym with my hand around his.

I winced as bright lights shone from above the stage. Kuuga's band was playing a rock song and everyone was dancing. This is so not the atmosphere I wanna be in. I looked around the place and everything was from red curtains to chandeliers to grand tables. It looks like a castle. The prom committee really went all out tonight.

Usui suddenly dragged me away from the dancing crowd to the maze-like garden behind the gym.

"Usui, what are we doing here? The party's inside." I said pulling my hand free.

"I just thought maybe we should do something different." He led me to the gazebo decorated with lights and dangling vines. Just like the ones on my dress. I gasped. It was so beautiful.

"Can I have this dance?" Usui said, bowing like a prince.

"You know I don't dance." I said smiling.

"Just follow my lead, you'll be fine I promise." He took my hand and positioned the other on my waist.

"The music isn't even mellow—" I stopped as soon as the song changed to a slower one. Okay, I take that back. I looked down on my feet. I seriously don't want to step on his Italian shoes. Don't ask me why I know.

Usui swiftly lifted my chin up and stared at me intently. "Eye contact, Ayuzawa." I gulped. His eyes were so deep but it shone as the lights hit them.

"I might step on your—" I said but he quickly sealed my lips with a kiss. I didn't hesitate any longer and kissed him back. I pulled his tie and heard him grunt. He wrapped his arms around my waist and deepened the kiss.

"You're so beautiful." He said between kisses. I can't believe it. I thought prom would be boring but it just might be the best night of my life. He nibbled my lower lip and I moaned. I parted my lips and his tongue explored my mouth. But before I could continue enjoying our lip lock, my phone rang. Not now.

"Usui, wait. My phone." I said trying to break the kiss.

"Leave it." He captured my lips again and continued kissing me. My phone rang again and I knew I had to answer this. It might be mom. I successfully untangled myself from Usui and wiped off any smeared lip gloss.

"Hello?"

"Misaki! Help me!" Sissy.

"Cecilia? What's going on?"

"Misaki, you've got to help me. My crazy date took me to this warehouse. He said we were just going to a club to have a drink but he took me here. He wanted to do it with me but I didn't want to. He left me here alone." She was crying. What the hell has she gotten herself into?

"Where are you?" These girl is seriously gonna get me in trouble. I should've kept an eye on her. "Usui, I have to go get Sissy. She's in this warehouse or something. I have to go. Or else, we'll both get killed. By Susan." I said as soon as Sissy hung up.

"I'll come with you."

"No, it's fine. Sissy wouldn't like that. I'll call you when I get back I promise." I called out as I sprinted from the garden. Damn these heels. I look like a kangaroo running in these. I stopped in front of the car to get my keys from my purse when I saw the folded painting. I was supposed to give it to Usui tonight to finally tell him how I feel. I clutched the it tight. Maybe I can still give it to him after I've fetched Sissy.

"Ms. Ayuzawa." I sprang around and saw Gerard leaning on his car. Well, I'm assuming it's his.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in college?" I said. Usui and his brother really have this habit of sneaking up on people. It's not healthy.

"I just came to visit my little brother."

"Can't you do it after the party?" I asked. What's so important that he has to come all this way just to see Usui? I rolled my eyes and got my keys out.

I felt Gerard nearing me. Quickly, I opened my door but before I could go inside he said, "Do you know why Takumi likes you?" I froze for a second and stared at him. "Do you know why he's always following you around? Warning you to stay away from me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." I said. Okay, this guy is officially creeping me out. How does he know that?

"Did you know Takumi had a girlfriend that looked exactly like you?" my eyes widened. My chest suddenly ached and I couldn't concentrate on anything else except on what Gerard just said. "If you don't believe me, this is her picture."

He handed me a folder and inside was a photo of a girl smiling candidly with Usui beside her. Ana Collins. She had black hair just like mine. But her eyes were different. She had dark brown orbs while mine were lighter, like honey. But beyond that, we looked exactly the same. I started to shake. I don't know if it was because of the cold wind outside or because of what Gerard just told. Maybe both.

"She died of Leukemia two years ago. My brother loved her dearly. Sadly, the doctors couldn't help her." He added.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm just warning you. Or rather saving you from a broken heart. You didn't really think Takumi fell for you because of who you are right? I'm sure you've been wondering why of all the girls in the world, he chose you."

I stared at him with piercing dagger eyes and handed him back the folder.

"I don't know what you're real intentions are but Usui and I aren't together. He doesn't like me that way and the feeling's mutual. Now, if you're done pestering me I have to be somewhere. Goodbye." I got inside the car and drove away.

I clutched my chest tightly. It feels like it's gonna explode. Ana Collins. Despite the fact that we do look alike, I can't deny that she was prettier. Is that why Usui likes me? Because I look like her? My tears threatened to spill but I held them back. If it is true, I don't want to cry for him. I won't be vulnerable because of him. I stepped on the gas pedal and sped up. After 10 minutes, I caught sight of the warehouse. I turned left and saw Sissy sitting on the sidewalk. I immediately stopped the car and ran towards her.

"Cecila!" she looked at me and cried. Her mascara flowing down as her tears spilled.

"Oh my god! I can't believe I'm gonna say this but I'm so glad to see you!" she hugged me tight and I could smell alcohol as she spoke.

"Have you been drinking?" I asked and lightly pushed her away.

"Just a little. The guys spiked the punch. C'mon, let's get out of here before my psycho date comes back for me." She grabbed the keys from my hand and headed to the car.

"Whoa hold on there." I took the keys back from her and I received a scowl. "What do you take me for? Stupid? Why would I let you drive when you're drunk?"

"Oh c'mon. Don't tell me we're going through this again?" she said rolling her eyes at me.

"Yes. We are. And I'm driving." I got inside the car and Sissy growled. "Well c'mon. I'm leaving you if you don't get inside." She hopped beside me and folded her chest.

"You know what? I take back everything good that I said about you."

"You never said anything good about me. Ever." I retorted as the engine roared to life.

"Oh you are such a smartass aren't you?" I rolled my eyes and drove away.

"I have serious anger issues right now Cecilia. Do not test me."

"Ooooh, I'm so scared." She mocked. If I didn't have self control, I would have done a roundhouse kick on her face right this second. I stayed silent the whole trip, still thinking about what Gerard said. I flinched as I remembered his words.

You didn't really think Takumi fell for you because of who you are right?

I bit my lip. I haven't felt this much pain since my parents passed away. I felt like I wanted to die. But there's one problem. Sissy won't stop talking.

"I shouldn't have called you. You only made things worse! You are a worthless piece of shit!" I know she was just saying that because she's drunk. Okay scratch that, I think she would still say it even if she's sober.

"Hey! Are you listening to me?" I didn't answer her. If I did, who knows what might come out from my mouth?

"Hey!" she yelled again. "Oh now your giving me the silent treatment?" she pushed me hard but still I ignored her. I heard her growl and shout, "Get out Misaki! This is my car and I'm driving it!" she grabbed the wheel and steered it the other way.

"Cecilia! What are you doing! We might crash!" I tried to push her away but she clawed my fingers with her ridiculously long nails.

"I don't care! As long as you're going down with me!" she grabbed the wheel again and before I knew it, the car was already on the other lane. There was a bright light and a loud horn. I couldn't see where we were going. Without thinking, I hugged Sissy shielding her from the glass shards as soon as we hit another vehicle. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain. Sissy screamed but I just held her tight. The car flipped around and as soon as it hit the ground I lost grip of Sissy and landed on the concrete floor. I hit my head and lost consciousness.


Okay, this was my brother's idea. Don't hate me! Please review my awesome readers! xoxo. :)
