Lilly 14
Timmy 18, Senior Prom
Flashback…
Lilly watched Timmy adjust his tie in the bathroom mirror. His tuxedo was black, with a gold tie. His date was going to wear a gold dress. They had been going out for two years, her name was Melody. He was going to pick her up in a half an hour. Lilly helped him tie his shoes as he finished shaving
"Don't forget to brush your hair." Lilly reminded him, handing Timmy a comb.
"Thanks Lils." He said taking the comb and attempting to make his hair neat. His brown skater hair had become even curlier than usual.
"You know, you should have gotten that trim." Lilly said.
"The ladies love the flow Lils." He said still attempting to comb his hair.
"Sure.' Lilly laughed as she walked over to help him with his hair. Timmy threw down the comb in defeat.
"It's impossible." Lilly sighed patting down his hair. "Well if the ladies love the flow so much then it shouldn't matter."
"True that Lils." He said now brushing his teeth. Lilly left the room to get the rose Timmy was suppose to give his date.
"Oh thanks Lils you saved me." Timmy said happily taking the rose.
"I knew you'd forget to buy her one." Lilly said.
"How much was this?" Timmy asked taking out his wallet.
"It's on me Romeo." Lilly said pushing away the money.
"Thanks." He said smiling.
"You know, you better help me get ready for my prom." Lilly said.
"Eh I'm not too sure about that." He said looking at himself in the mirror.
"Why?" Lilly asked.
"Because I might kill your date before you get the chance to go." He joked as he turned around and faced Lilly.
"I can't wait to prom." Lilly said dreamily.
"You have awhile to go kiddo." Timmy said.
They both walked downstairs to be greeted by their parents. Mrs. Truscott was smiling and Mr. Truscott was sober, for once.
"You know that date of yours really should be here." Mrs. Truscott sighed.
"They did invite dad and you over you know." Timmy said.
"Well you know how I feel about people." Mrs. Truscott said fiddling with the camera.
"Yeah Ma, anyways lets get the pictures taken so I can get going." Timmy said.
Mrs. Truscott took a few pictures of Timmy alone, before Timmy pulled Lilly in.
"What's she doing?" Mrs. Truscott asked.
"I want my lil sis in my pictures if you don't mind." Timmy said smiling at Lilly.
"Fine, if you really want her to be." Mrs. Truscott said dramatically.
...End of Flashback
I sat in my room staring hopelessly in the mirror. Matt was supposed to be here in 15 minutes and I still had to fix my hair. The last two months with Matt had been horrible. He has been repeatedly trying to sleep with me. Seriously, no means no. But he's a stupid boy and doesn't get it. I was wearing a baby blue dress that fell right below my knees. Amber helped me pick it out, surprisingly I actually liked it. I put my hair up in a bun and made my way downstairs to wait for Matt.
My mom wasn't home, and Matt's parents were coming over for pictures. It was going to be pretty embarrassing. What parents do miss their kid's prom? Mine do of course, oh well I guess there's always next year. I heard a knocking at the door, I opened there to see Matt standing there with his parent's.
"Hey babe." Matt said greeting me with a sloppy kissed. I held back my disgust.
"Hey." I said turning red. I don't know how Matt could do that with his parent's right behind him. His mom gave me a hug, I met her before, but I never met his dad.
"Well son you were right she is a hottie." He said winking at me. I gave a fake laugh hiding my disgust.
"Well let's get these pictures out of the way so we can go." Matt said grabbing onto me.
"Lilly sweetie, where are your parents?" She asked taking out her camera.
"They have a work thing." I lied.
The music was blasting through the doors as we entered the hall the school rented. Lights were flashing and there were many tables. Each couple was assigned to one to share with other couples. Everyone was mostly on the dance floor. I also noticed there were chaperones. Principle Franklin, vice principle Lewis, Mr. Marcus, and Ms. Stewart. I was in awe, she had a black dress on that rested right under her knees.
"Come on lets get dancing." Matt said dragging me onto the dance floor. As we danced I saw Amber and Oliver grinding heavily in the corner, occasionally making out. Matt saw me looking over.
"Mmm that looks like fun." Matt said grabbing onto me. I groaned.
"Um I'm feeling thirsty, I'll be right back." I said walking away.
"Okay babe." Matt said while eyeing a girl.
"I'll have water." I said to the man.
"Here you go sweetheart." He said handing me a glass of water. I went over and sat at a random table. I watched Matt dancing with five girls at once. I sighed, I really must break up with him soon.
"Hey." Ms. Stewart said. She took a seat next to me.
"Hey." I said giving her a smile.
"Where's your boyfriend?" She asked sounding a little jealous. Or at least that's what it sounded like to me.
"There." I said pointing to him and five other girls who were practically on top of him.
"Oh wow." She said looking shocked.
"Its fine, I never really liked him anyways. He was just there." I said finishing off my water.
"You should be having fun, it is your prom after all." She said.
"Always next year." I said reminding her.
"Well then why don't we go outside and talk?" She asked. I nodded and she led me outside.
"So…" I said. I heard a familiar song play from inside the hall.
I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face
"What's going on?" She asked.
Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You know what I mean. The way you acted the last basketball game. The way you have been shutting me out for the pat two months." She said sounding hurt.
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes
I told her about my parents. How they divorced, how my dad beat my mom, and how my mom hated me. I told her how much I missed Timmy. And I told her that it hurt that my parents were never there for me, how I had no one to talk to. I felt pathetic.
"…and it's just that no one loves me." I finally said.
And now you find yourself in 82
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you
You cant concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragons wings
She sat there after I finished. It looked as though she was carefully choosing her words.
And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well
"Lilly, I hope you know that I love you." She said softly. I smiled at her, I never heard anyone say it they way she did. Only Timmy was the one to say I love you, and mean it.
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes
"Lilly, Lilly! " Matt yelled. "Oh there you are."
"What is it Matt?" I asked sounding annoyed. He killed the moment.
"Come on lets go." He said.
"Have fun Lilly. No drinking!" Ms. Stewart yelled as Matt pulled me away.
"Where are we going?" I asked Matt for the fifth time.
"Where here." He said pulling into an empty parking lot.
"Why are we stopping here?" I asked nervously.
"Come on Lilly enjoy the moment." Matt said leaning in to kiss me.
"Fuck off Matt. "I said pushing his face away.
"Lilly come on!" He said attempting to kiss me again. This time I punched him in the nose and told him I'd call the cops if he tried again.
"Take me the fuck home." I yelled.
"But Lilly...'He whined.
"Now!" I yelled again.
As I arrived home, I told Matt it was over. I walked into the house to find my mother on the couch with some man.
"Where have you been?" She asked.
"Prom mom." I said running upstairs. Hopefully next prom would be a lot better.
Thanks for all the reviews last chapter, I personally thought that last chapter wasn't that good. I also do not own the song used in this chapter. It's called Heat of the Moment, by Asia. Well anyways review (:
