Yo! Thanks for your reviews! I don't have much to say right now so I'm just gonna say the disclaimer and get on with it.
Don't own anything. Especially the song "Baby Come on. Acoustic version" By plus 44 please read it! It such a good song!
Jump to Friday night and I'm more nervous than ever. I pace the floor and think of things to say to him.
"I um, uh like your tie?" I think out loud.
"Ew no." April says. Though she's in our history class she's a seventh grader so she's decided to coach me on things to say tonight and help me look nice.
"Just be yourself. That's what he loves you for." I freeze and April put her hand over her mouth.
"What did you say?" My midnight ocean eyes question. Her plumbago lips shake.
"Huh? I didn't say anything." She's playing with her fingers nervously and hiding her embarrassed face with her long violet locks.
"Brendon…..Loves me?" my heart is doing summersaults and I found it hard to breathe. This dress is way too tight. My oxygen is depleting. I need to sit down. My shoes are strapped to tight. They are cutting off the circulation to my foot. Brendon loves me, Brendon loves, me. My heart is skipping beats. Oh God, I must be having a heart attack. But Brendon loves me so none of it really matters.
"I wasn't supposed to tell you! God, he's going to kill me when he finds out! Don't say anything about it to him! Promise me right now!" Her emerald eyes look at me. She's serious. I feel bad now that I know because now I can't say a word to him about it so why should I even know in the first place if it doesn't matter.
"I promise." I sigh; she smiles lightly and grabs her make-up bag. I have this impending sense of doom in my heart now instead of the summersaulty heart attack feeling and given the choice between the two I'd rather have the heart attack feeling
"Let's do your make-up!" She giggles, an evil smile plastered on her face whilst fear is etched on my own.
Yup…
I'd definitely take the heart attack.
"Presenting her Royal Highness, The Crown Princess Mar'iander Grayson!" April giggles from the top of the stairs signaling my cue to come down.
I walk as gracefully as I can in my high heels down the Maplewood stair case. I'm wearing a Black off the shoulder dress that is corset-tight at the top and fans out when it gets to my waist in a princess-like fashion with millions of sparkles running throughout. Adorning my arms are two simple silk black gloves. I took my locket off for once and put on in its place a simple black chocker with a sapphire in the middle to match my eyes. April put my hair (which I've been letting grow out so now it comes to about my upper back) up into a simple bun and let two pieces of my bangs on either side fall down in gentle waves. As for make-up it was simple (thank God) just some eye-liner, mascara, light blush, and light pink lip gloss. I looked in a word: elegant. But I could care less about what I looked like at the moment it was Brendon, who awaited me at the bottom of the stairs, who looked stunning.
He had dyed his hair completely black and had gelled it back in a neat fashion letting me see both of his amethyst eyes for once instead of the one. He had on a black bow-tie tux and his shoes where so shiny you could see the stars reflect from the skylight above. He looked like a god to me.
"Ma—Ma—M-M-Mar'i you l-l-ook beautiful." I blushed at the comment and his adorable stuttering.
"You look very handsome yourself." I replied. He smiled lightly and gave me a bouquet of red roses and my blush started to burn my face.
"They're beautiful. Thank You." I put them in a vase by the door and he offered me his arm which I gladly took.
"C'mon lets get out of here." He whispered in my ear his breath tickling it making pleasant shivers go up my spine. I nodded and bided a goodbye to Al, April, Titan, and of course Dad as we headed out.
The theme was a night in Italy and they did a great job too. Rose petals and sparkling cider on every table with plastic champagne flutes with our school and graduating year on them. I honestly can't wait until I graduate and leave these rude book throwing peers behind because I get to save my mom as soon as summer starts because then my training will finally be complete. But anyway back to the setting: red, white and green streamers adorned everywhere on the ceiling connected to said colored balloons. There was a place where everybody had to get their picture taken on a gondola. They even had a fountain where after not too long the foot ball team was dared to jump into and eagerly did it making their dates mad along with the teachers that where chaperoning.
All in All it was great. But their was one sad thing to this entire day nobody wished Jazz(Who looked amazing in her black and pink dress and whose date happened to be Terrance Harper, the star basketball player) a happy birthday except for me, Brendon, and her older brother by 3 minutes (because he's on the soccer team everybody wished him a happy birthday). Miki was Wally's date too and she didn't even wish her best friend a happy birthday so I went up to the DJ and requested they play the 'Happy Birthday' Song for my best friend and when he did I pushed my blind friend and her brother into the middle of a forming circle and the entire class sung to them. Jazz was so happy she cried.
Jump to half-way through the dance when the DJ decides to have a live performance play on stage and of course Brendon's Band "A New Plan" goes up and I hide in the crowd embarrassed at his antics. The only problem was a couple of his band members (The bassist and the drummer) where in the 7th grade so they preformed an acoustic song.
"Um, Hi" Brendon starts out, I put my face in my hands. "Um, we are going to do an acoustic cover for you guys by one of myself, my band, and my girlfriends' favorite bands. So um, here we go." I look up. No he's not. Please tell me he's not going to sing our song to the entire 8th grade.
"She's a pretty girl." Yup. He is.
"She's always falling down.
And I think I just fell in love with her,
But she won't ever, remember, remember
"But I can't always find her
At the bottom of her plastic cup,
Drowning in drunk sincerity
A sad and lonely girl
Quit crying your eyes out,
Quit crying your eyes out
And Baby Come on
'Cause if there's something familiar about me,
The past is only the future with the lights on.
Quit crying you're eyes out baby.
And she Said:
"I think we're running out of alchohol.
Tonight, I hate this flipping town." Nice save Brendon.
''And all my best friends will be the death of me.
But they won't ever remember, remember.
So please take me far away,
Before I melt into the ground.
And all my words get used against me.
You sad and lonely girl.
Quit crying your eyes out,
Quit crying your eyes out
And Baby Come on
'Cause if there's something familiar about me,
The past is only the future with the lights on.
Quit crying you're eyes out baby.
He goes into an acoustic guitar solo and has all the girls I hate screaming his name and the entire crowd cheering including myself. He looks at me and winks. I blush madly and he smiles as he continues:
"Quit crying your eyes out
Quit crying your eyes out
And Baby Come on
'Cause if there's something familiar about me
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying you're eyes out
'Cause if there's something familiar about me
Quit crying your eyes out
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit crying your eyes out baby." He strums the last notes on his guitar and everyone goes wild he says a brief 'thanks' and hops off the stage.
"So how bad was I babe, your honest enough to give me the truth." He says behind me. I smile and turn.
"You were amazing." I say honestly and hug him. Thank God for the heels they make me tall enough so he can just bend his head slightly to kiss me.
"Honestly, though, you were a little pitchy at pa—" I'm cut off by an explosion at the front door. Brendon throws me behind him.
"I want you to run when I say, ok?"
"No. it's not. I can't stand here and watch another person I love get hurt because of me." He looks shocked for a moment. And I wonder why until realization dawns onto me. I just admitted my feelings. That heart attack feeling comes back and doubles when Brendon kisses me so passionately on the lips I begin to float again. He grabs my shoulders and keeps me rooted again.
"I love you too." He admits, "So please do what I ask. Please. I don't want something to happen to you again that's my fault." Fear and regret are evident in his eyes. I nod knowing I can't change his mind and run out into the garden's maze and break down crying.
"If he gets hurt it's my fault for running like a scared rabbit. I don't even have my NightStar outfit to help him." Suddenly I feel eyes on me. I turn. It's the kid from the news papers! I think his name was 'Phantom'.
"He's fine. I saved your classmates No need to worry anymore." His voice is strangely familiar I feel myself being drawn in by it.
"How did you help him?" I ask my voice a whisper. He says nothing as I come closer. I know him from somewhere besides the newspaper, I know this for a fact. Phantom is still silent.
"How did you help him?! Talk! Where is Brendon now?!" I yell. He still doesn't answer well at least not verbally. Two hands flew out from his cloak and pulled my lip gloss covered lips to his.
I'll dedicate the next chapter to the first person who figures out who Animal and Phantom are. I 3 reviews! Leave me some
Love ya,
