Chapter 21

Hazel POV

I stood in my room standing at my mirror wearing my moms dress. It felt wrong. Wearing her dress. I knew it wasn't her dress exactly, it was a remake, but it still felt wrong. There was a knock at the door but my gaze was still towards the mirror in front of me.

"Hey beautiful" Bob had wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, looking at our reflection, his head on my shoulder. He kissed my cheek. "You look beautiful Birthday girl" Suddenly tears began rolling down my cheeks. "Whats wrong baby?" Bob said confused. "Its not right! Its Mom's dress not mine!" I turned around, still in his arms, and cried into his chest. Bob cupped my face in my hands. "Stop the constellation of tears on your lashes" he hushed. "Stop with the fall out boy references" I said with a slight smile, Bob laughed softly, moving his hands back down to my waist. He ducked his head down and softly kissed me on the lips, with smiles on our faces. After a minute or two, I gently patted his chest and pulled away, still centimeters away from his mouth. "Go, I'm gonna get changed" i said, trying to get out of his arms but he pulled me in closer and kissed me once again. After a few more minutes, I patted his chest again and pulled away. "Seriously I need to get changed!" I said giggling. "NEVER!" Bob said. He grabbed me from behind and tackled me onto the bed and started tickling me. "Stop it stop it stop ittt!" I said laughing. Tickling was my only weakness.
That and coffee. he stopped and we laid there for a moment in each others. He kissed me on the lips again. "I love you so much, you know that right?" Bob said softly. "I love you too" i whispered back. "But seriously now, go away and let me get changed" I said. "Fine" Bob said reluctantly getting up. "Send up Kira and Cherry!" I said to Bob as he was at the door. "I thought you were getting changed?" Bob said facing me. "I need them to help me choose what to wear and have a quick girly chat" i replied. "You gonna talk to them about me?" He said laughing. "Yes now go go!" I said. "I love you!" i said before he left my room completely. "I love you too" He chuckled and closed the door. I undid the ribbon on the back of the dress and took it and hung up. I then sat on my bed, in my underwear, waiting for Cherry and Kira. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Can we come in?" Kira said with her head round the door, Cherry's next to it. I nodded and the came to sit next to me, Cherry on my right and Kira on my left. I put my head on Cherry's lap and my legs across Kira's. "Hey you alright?" Cherry said stroking my hair. "Yea" i sighed. "Hey aren't you wearing your new dress?" Kira asked confused. "I couldn't bear to wear it. It didn't feel right. Its was my moms, not mine. It felt wrong." A tear rolling down my cheek again. "I know sweetie, I know. Whenever I look at my Phoenix tattoo, I cant help but cry a little" Cherry said squeezing my hand,beginning to tear up herself. "Common! Lets get you something to wear!" Kira said springing up from my bed and going over to my wardrobe. I sat and gave Cherry a quick hug before joining Kira at my wardrobe, Cherry coming up alongside me. " oh my fucking god Hazel this dress is amazing!" Kira said pulling out an electric blue satin cocktail dress with a black bow going around the waist. "YES. YOU MUST WEAR THAT!" Cherry said. Kira passed me the dress and I began to get dressed into it. Usually most girls our age dont like getting changed in front of each other but im best friends with these two so I have no problem. "So Kira, hows you and Andy?"
I asked as i was putting on my dress. "Great, we might me be moving in with each other next year" i smiled and sat down at my dressing table and began to re-apply my make up. "And you Cherry? i saw you happily talking to Mikey there. You seem to be getting on well", instantly her cheeks began to go as red as her hair. "WellIthinkhesreallycute" she mumbled. "M sorry I didn't her that, did you Kira?" Kira shook her head. "Ithinkhesreallycute" She said. "Still can't hear you!" Kira said brushing my hair. "I think hes really cute okay!" She finally said clearly. "Awwwwwww" Me and Kira both said, Cherry's cheeks seeming to get darker. "Don't worry Cherry, I think he likes you too" I said whilst putting on my mascara "REALLY!?" Cherry said a little bit to excitedly. I laughed and nodded. I got up and went over to my now many pairs of shoes and picked up electric blue converse knee lengths to match my dress. "So you ready?" Kira said.
I nodded and we went downstairs to get the party started.

11:42 pm June 22nd

It was safe to say that we were extremely drunk. Fall Out Boy, Green Day, Black Flag and Misfits had been playing on full blast all night. Skittles decorated the floor along with plastic shot cups and a few bottles of vodka rolling around.

Third Person

3: 17 am

Gerard had just finished another bottle of Vodka by himself before climbing over to Frank and hugged him. They were only hugging for a moment, Gerard had already fallen asleep on Frank. Frank not wanting to disturb him let him stay lying on his chest and soon fell asleep himself, worried about how much more Gee had been drinking lately. The red head girl called Cherry had been talking to Mikey for hours until they began making out. They both had got tired and had moved over to the sofa and they both fell asleep in each others arms. Ray and Kira had fallen asleep after playing on the games console, competitively playing on the bongos. Hazel had spent the night dancing and kissing Bob. And like everyone else they fell asleep on the floor with a blanket over them.
