Part 3
Welcome to the last stop. I hope you have enjoyed your stay. I got a few
more chapters here. I hope you all understand that this story wasn't
written to make complete sense. Only parts. There will be one more story.
Hey, I can call it the Jewel Trilogy. Yeah. All of the stories, once completed, will be called the Jewel Trilogy. What do you guys think? (Rhetorical question)
Set up. It has been a year. Emerald and Leon are serious. She's finishing up her senior year. She has also been accepted to Harvard and Stanford. Both schools want her. She wants to stay with Leon but her dream has been to get out of California. She has to decide by June 12.
So we begin in. 5 . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 Chapter 11 "I got my prom dress. I got my makeup. I'm looking sexy. I'm looking gorgeous. You wish you had me. But I got my one. And it is Leon." I danced around, acting completely cracked out. I knew I shouldn't have had that extra cup of coffee but I had and now I am paying for it.
I stood in front of my mirror and starred at myself. It was prom. The night. Most girls call it the night for other reasons but for me, this was my night to have fun, not to screw some guy because I feel I have to.
I wore a floor length retro- 18th century gown with the corset that made my breast sit up. I wore my grandmother's cameo choker that she wore when she became a Lady of Rose, a local women's group that ended in 1979.
My hair was pulled up in a French roll that, unlike most that are on the side of the head, warped around from one side, to the front and to the other side. I had surly temple curls surrounding my face. My makeup was surprisingly flawless.
I told Leon that I would pay for the limo but he refused to allow it and paid for it before I could even search for the best price.
"Emerald honey, your ride is here." My mom called.
I grabbed my cell phone, stuffed it into my wrist pouch and went down stairs to find my mom with a camera.
"Look. Oh my god. My baby had grown up." She flashed the camera and used the whole roll before I had reached the limo.
"Have fun tonight." She said.
"I will mom." I got in and driver closed the door.
I stared at what was in the bar and checked out the radio. I turned it to K- ROQ and laid back in the seat.
"We're here Miss." The driver said.
He got out and went to the door but someone stopped him.
The door opened and I lowered my head to get out. When I looked up, I gasped.
Leon stood there in black tuxedo with a sky gray vest.
I made this weird half gasp, half giggle sound. He lowered his hand and aided me out.
He had this stupid look on his face.
"What? Is my."
"No. Nothing. You look great."
"Thanks." I started laughing.
"What?"
"You sound like a teenager."
"You make it out like it was that long ago."
"It was three. You should be past that by now."
"Spicy." Letty yelled from the door. "Damn girl. Look out you. I should have had you design my dress."
Mia touched my shoulder and made a "sssss" sound. "She is hot."
"Street." Vince walked around me and then stopped. "I give it eight stars."
"That's it?" I asked.
"It only goes up to eight. Starts at five."
"Retard." Jesse said.
I looked around but didn't see Dominic.
"So, where's."
Everyone got quiet and the look of guilt flashed across their faces.
"What's wrong?" I stepped away from them and closer to the house.
"Nothing. Let's go Em." Leon said and took my arm.
I wrenched away and ran into the house. Leon followed closely behind.
I went into his room looking for my laptop. Ever since he read it, I had left it at his house. I found it missing. I turned on him.
"Honey. Sweetie, where is my laptop.?" I asked calmly.
"It's around."
"Don't fucking play with me." I snapped, quickly recollecting myself. "Sorry. But where is my laptop?"
"He found it." He finally said. "Dom was going through the house, found the laptop and thought it was mine. By the time I found him, he had read almost every file but one."
"What does this have to do with him not being here?"
"He read the dream." Mia said from behind me. "He wouldn't let us see it."
My heart sank.
"No. Crap." I picked up the dress and ran in the house calling for him.
"He's not here." Leon said.
"I have to find him Leon. There's a lot of stuff in there that he shouldn't have seen." I grabbed Leon's keys from his counter top and went to take his car. He picked me up off my feet and swung me in the opposite direction.
"Where are you going? None of us know where he is."
"No. But I have to find it. He will hate me. I refuse for him to hate me."
"Baby, we'll find him later."
"No. Please?" I fought with him to let me go.
"Emerald. Emerald."
"No." I broke away, keys in hand, got in the car and took off.
Angel note:
Sorry for the short chapter but I was typing while Buffy was on. It was good episode. I can't tell you about it though. Sorry.
Look for a long chapter 12 though. I'm thinking about 6-10 pages.
