Twas A Good Night
Present Time:
Lucas's POV
"That was very beautiful you two." Krystal said.
"It was so cute that you two went together and were crowned prom king and queen!" Alice squealed.
"Thanks you guys." I smiled.
"See love, I told you that prom could be fun if you enjoyed it." Edward smiled to Bella.
"You know I'm not much of a dancer." Bella said.
"That was before and now you dance gracefully." Edward said giving Bella a kiss on the cheek.
"Will I be prom queen like you and grandma?" Lucina who is trying out the tiara, asked Tiffany.
"Maybe one day baby girl." Tiffany smiled.
"That was so cute the way your teacher's husband proposed to her!" Nessie squealed.
"How come you guys don't propose like that to us?" Rosalie asked Jasper, Emmett and Edward.
"We were in the twentieth century at that time while Edward here decided to go old school."Emmet said.
"That's just how I am." Edward smirked.
"Prom was definitely something I want to remember in my human days," I said. "Including everything that I did and went through at that school, it was the one I loved out of all the schools I go to now. To think that I had an amazing life, I had everything I've ever wanted; friends, family and a happy life but that was until…" Everyone's faces fell when they knew where I was going.
"Until what?" Lucina asked who was the only one that was never told of what I'm about to tell them next.
"That night." I said.
May 23rd 2015
I examined myself in the mirror to see myself wearing a white long sleeve shirt and faded jeans. If you're wondering what I'm all dressed up for, I'll tell you. This Saturday night, Bri is throwing a White-Out Party in honor of the class of 2015 graduating very soon and she invited a lot of people from all schools including me and my friends. She knows people. Bri has over three thousands followers on Instagram and Twitter. As the name states, it's a party where everyone has to wear white.
"Hey guys," I said to my parents and Lilly who are in the living room watching TV when I came downstairs. "How do I look?" I asked showing my outfit.
"Like I should arrest you even if you're my son." Dad said with a chuckle as I rolled my eyes.
"You look great sweetheart." Mom said with smile as Lilly beamed.
I felt a bit uneasy for some reason. Let me tell you; when Bri first sent me the invite, the date was on the same night I was gonna have a special family night and that tradition was never broken, ever. My friends were disappointed to hear that I would be unable to go and told me to talk my parents out of it. I in the end said I'll try but it's not likely. When I told my family where I was going tonight, I was surprised to hear that they say I should go. Now I feel even worse.
"You know that I don't have to go and we can still have our family night." I said.
"Don't be stupid son," Dad said. "It's not every day you get invited to one of the hottest parties you teens throw. You have to go there!"
"We want you to have fun while you're young." Mom said. "Once you're in college, you'll probably be busy studying."
"Yeah big brother, you go have fun!" Lilly said with a big smile. I just love how adorable she is.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"You've been asking us that question for a week. YES!" Dad said.
"Okay, okay, I'll go." I said holding out my hands in surrender.
"And have fun." Mom said.
"Just don't drink because I'll know if you did." Dad teased but sounded serious.
"Dad, you really think I could get away with things with you around especially with your cop senses?" I asked.
"I was hoping so that I could handcuff you and take you downtown." Dad smirked as mom slapped his arm. That's when I heard the car honking.
"That's my ride." I said. "I'll be back late."
"Bye big brother!" Lilly called.
"Be careful sweetheart! We love you!" Mom called.
"Go crazy but not too crazy!" Dad called.
"Bye, love you and I'll try my best!" I called as I went out the front door and head over to Cooper's car and sat in the back seat with the girls where I saw all my friends wearing the white clothing.
"Are you ready for the night of your guys' lives?" Matt asked excitedly from the passenger seat.
"You bet we are!" Hannah said.
"Hell yeah!" Cooper cried.
"It's time to let loose and have fun!" Tiffany said.
"Let's do this!" I said and we all cheered as Cooper pulled out of my driveway hit the road. It was an hour long drive since the party's in Seattle. By around eight, we arrived at this building where the party is being held. We all got out of the car after Cooper was able to find a parking spot and arrived at the entrance where two security guards were guarding the entrance and a woman who appears to be in her college years was at a table.
"Can I have your guys' names?" She asked holding out clipboard.
"Lucas Stone, Tiffany Stewart, Matt Carson, Cooper Mendes and Hannah Beltran." I said as the woman went through her list.
"Yes, you are all on the list." She said with a smile as she marked off our names. "Here are some glow-in-the-dark accessories," She said pulling out some glow in the dark wristbands and necklaces which we put on. "And here are these." She then gave us paper wristbands.
"What are they for?" Tiffany asked.
"They're VIP wristbands." The woman answered. Wait what! "Bri has given you access to the VIP room!"
"Oh hell yeah!" Cooper cried as he, Matt and I five each other. No way, Bri really knows how to throw a party. She's like a Kim Kardashian.
"Have a good night!" The woman smiled as we all went inside. To say that the place is amazing was an understatement. It wasn't called a White-Out Party for nothing as the place was dark and there were curtains of white along with everyone wearing the color as they dance to the DJ playing the hottest songs grinding into each other.
"Damn, Bri really went all out!" Matt said through the loud music. There was a yell and we turned to see Bri running over to us and attacked me with a hug.
"I'm so glad you guys made it!" She said hugging me so tight that I could hardly breathe.
"We wouldn't miss it." Tiffany said as Bri let go of me finally and I was gulping for air.
"And I'm glad you actually came, Lucas!" Bri smiled.
"Well, I figured why not. My family can survive one night without me." I said.
"That's what I wanted to hear!" Bri said.
"And Bri, kudos to the VIP." Hannah said as we showed her the wristbands.
"Hey, you guys are my favorite people of all! You definitely deserved to be in the VIP room!" Bri said.
"Well let's not stand around and chit chat, let's have some fun!" Cooper said and he and Matt took off to find some girls to dance with and Bri took off when she saw more guests arrived.
"Let's go then." I said to Hannah and Tiffany.
"Hey," The girls and I turned to see two good looking guys coming over to us. "Do you girls wanna dance with us?"
"Okay!" Hannah beamed taking the guy's hand.
"I-I-I would love to." Tiffany blushed at the other guy and they left to go to the dance floor leaving me behind. Well that's one way to start the night.
"Hey Lucas!" I turned to see someone very familiar.
"Hey Tina, fancy seeing you here!" I smiled as she and I hugged.
"Yeah Bri invited me at work the other day." Tina smiled.
"Same here and I also got on the list of VIP." I said.
"No way, same here!" Tina said showing her VIP wristband. Tina and I continued making conversations when the next song came on. "Ooh, I love this song! Come on!"
"Ok-whoa!" I said as Tina dragged me to dance floor. Flo Rida's song Low started playing with color lights flying everywhere and Tina was soon facing me with her back as she pressed her body close to mine and started swaying her ass in rhythm pressed on my pelvis as I wrapped my arms around her waist.
As Tina wrapped her arms around my neck from behind and threw her head back, I looked around and saw Tiffany and Hannah dancing with the guys they met earlier. Then I saw Cooper with a hot blonde girl and Matt dancing with his girlfriend. They both saw me and gave me the thumbs up and I gave one in return.
"That was fun! Thanks for dancing with me." Tina smiled when the song ended.
"No problem and it sure was fun." I said as we got away from the dance floor.
"There you are." Tina and I turned to see a girl shorter than Tina with the same black hair coming up to us. Those two could be sisters. She then saw me and smiled big. "Hi, you must be Lucas."
"Uh yeah." I said feeling surprised that she knows me. Haven't I seen her before?
"I'm Jhuvy, Tina's best friend! She's told me a lot about you when you two dated." She said holding out her hand. Oh that's right, I saw her at lunchtime where she was hanging with Tina.
"Well I'm flattered." I said taking her hand.
"Wow, you're even cuter in person!" Jhuvy said causing me to blush. "No wonder Tina has a crush on you back then."
"Shut up!" Tina said with a blush.
"I'm just playing with you sister." Jhuvy teased. "Hey, you wanna dance with me?" She asked hopefully.
"Sure-whoa!" I said when Jhuvy grabbed my hand and took me to the dance floor. What is it with girls dragging me? For half of the night, I've been dancing with girls left and right. Not complaining about it but I need a break. Good thing I was able to shake off the last girl and caught up to my friends.
"Geez bro, I wondering where you took off after Tina took you." Matt said.
"Too many girls wanna dance with me." I said catching my breath. "I don't understand why."
"How many did you dance with?" Tiffany asked.
"I saw it all. He was with over ten girls." Hannah smirked.
"Ten? Damn, he danced with more girls than I did!" Cooper said.
"I should've taken your advice and be a complete douche so that I wouldn't get that many girls." I said.
"Don't be like that Lucas." Tiffany said. "You just have your ways with women unlike these two idiots."
"Hey!" Matt and Cooper said.
"Now come on. Let's check out the VIP room Bri hooked us up with!" Hannah said excited. And that's what we did when we showed them our VIP passes and went inside to see Bri and a few other people in a white lounge room where the tables actually light up. How much did Bri pay for all of this?
We spent the time drinking cider and chit chatting and went back to the floor where I was once again got dragged into dancing with more girls who caught interest in me. I don't understand how I did it. Other than that, it was a great night and an amazing party. I never had that much fun in my life with all the dancing and everything. Well what do you expect on your senior year?
We are now driving home from the party and I was sitting behind Cooper who was driving again, with Tiffany and Hannah and Matt was sitting in the passage seat. We were on the streets to where they would drop me off at my house. I looked at my watch saying it was five minutes to midnight. Yep, we were definitely tired. I don't think I'll be able to wake up until noon.
"Dude that was an awesome party Bri threw." I said.
"It was nice of her to do that since we have a few weeks left before we graduated."Hannah said.
"We still have finals though." I pointed out knowing how those tests are just around the corner.
"Oh screw finals." Cooper said. "Who needs them?"
"You do Mr. Average. I'm surprised you've been accepted to a college that takes students with the highest GPA." Matt laughed as Cooper punched him in the shoulders.
"Hey when you're the star athlete of the school basketball team, you don't need an education." Cooper said.
"Yeah let's see where that takes you." I said as everyone except Cooper laughed.
"Hey I didn't have to be a smart ass to get into one." Cooper teased referring to me.
"Cooper, leave Lucas alone. At least he's smart enough to have some real fun when he's not studying." Tiffany said.
"Yeah he's fun alright, especially when he went wild with a lot of girls." Matt said smirking at me. "How many did you danced with, eight, ten?"
"I got dragged by a lot to even count." I said looking embarrassed as my friends continued laughing.
A few minutes passed as we arrived at my house. That was when my cop senses reacted like never before. Why doesn't that feel good?
"What's going on over there?" Hannah asked. We all looked at where she's pointing.
"Shit, there's a fire!" Matt stated and sure enough there was a house being surrounded by a mix of red, yellow and orange fire.
As we got closer, Cooper said, "Uh Lucas, please tell me I took a wrong turn and this is not your house." Wait what! He can't be serious! No… no way!
I quickly got out of the car and to my horror it was definitely my house in flames. The sound of the roaring fire was loud enough that would've cause a rumble. As I watching the horrifying sight of my home being engulfed in flames, I noticed that everyone was witnessing the tragic scene. Firemen were putting out the fire and police men were questioning the neighbors.
"What happened?" I asked one of my neighbors. He turned to look at me and I saw the look on his face which was not a good sign.
"We don't know what happened exactly." He explained. "All we know is that there were screams and a crash and next thing you know, the place was in flames."
"Where are my parents? Where's Lilly?" I asked as I grabbed his shoulders and shook him furiously. Please don't tell me they're not that stupid to not go in there if my family is trapped inside!
He didn't look at me when he pointed at the ambulance behind me. I turned around and I saw three bodies on the stretchers. I let go of the guy as I ran up to ambulance only to be blocked at the entranced by a paramedic.
"Sorry but I can't let you back in here." He said.
"That's my family you're talking about you idiot so unless you want a broken jaw let me see them!" I said furiously.
Reluctantly the paramedic let me in as he closed the back door. I ran to the three stretchers that were each attached to an IV and heart monitor as the ambulance took off. All three of them had burn marks, their bodies are seriously damaged and covered in ashes, and I noticed that they each have two small holes on their necks which were bleeding.
"Mom, Dad, Lilly!" I cried as I went to them back and forth panicking.
"Sweetheart," I heard my mom whispered as I came to her.
"Mom!" I cried taking her hand.
"Oh Lucas, I'm glad you're home safely." She said softly.
"Me? Did you not know that you guys are heading to a hospital?" I asked calmly even though I'm shaking.
"At least I know that you're okay." Mom said with a small smile. "I love you… sweetheart." Her eyes were closed after that.
"Mom? Mom!" I cried.
"Lucas?" I turned around to see it was my dad.
"Dad!" I ran up to him. "What happened? Who did this to you?" I swear I'll kill the person responsible for this!
"Lucas, three people came into our house." Dad said weakly. "They attacked us until I tried shooting them causing a fire and they escaped. Lucas those people… weren't ordinary people."
"What do you mean?" I asked. Before my dad could say anything he passed out and his heart monitor made a long beep.
"We're losing them!" The paramedic stated as he pushed me aside. "Step on it!" He called the driver. No, no, this can't be happening. Please… it just can't.
We arrived at the hospital ten minutes later. The paramedics started taking the stretchers with my parents as I ran next to the one holding Lilly. She hasn't woken up yet but heart monitor said she's breathing. As we entered the hospital, I watched as Lilly's eyes slowly opened.
"Lucas?" She said weakly.
"Lilly, don't worry. Everything's gonna be okay." I said to her.
"I…love…you…big…brother." She said as I held her hand.
"Sir, we have to take these people to the emergency room." The doctor told me.
I stopped while they continued rushing to the room.
"I'll be right here." I cried to Lilly. "I promise you'll be alright." She has to… my family has to be alright!
Twenty minutes has passed as I was sitting in the waiting room with my friends. They came ten minutes earlier when they saw what happened.
"They're gonna be okay." Tiffany said holding my hand. I wish I could believe that but it's not that easy.
Just then, the doctor arrived and I ran up to him. He had his head down until he looked at me. My cop senses didn't know how to respond to the look on his face. No… no… please… don't say it!
"We've lost them." He said sadly. "They've lost so much blood that their hearts weren't strong enough to keep up and from being in the fire for that long, it made their oxygen level worse. I'm sorry."
With that, he left while I stood where I was with my fists tightened and fighting the tears coming out of me. Everything was falling inside me. My whole world was crumbling. They're gone. My parents who loved and raised me with heart and care and my sister who looks up to me and lightens my world are all gone. My knees gave away as I was crying like never before. I've lost everything. I've lost my family… forever.
It's such a tragic for Lucas. Now we will see how he's dealing with his loss. Please review.
