Another short chapter, but its just a warm and fuzzy moment between Ella and Iggy


Ella's POV

"I'm doomed" I wailed looking in the mirror.

"No your not" Iggy soothed as he lay on my bed while I tried my dress on for the school social.

"I am. I look like a sunflower" I said looking at myself as I was dressed in my best dress, plus I hated yellow.

"I bet you're the cutest sunflower there" he grinned and I chucked a pillow at him but couldn't help but smile.

"Well maybe I could help" Iggy said. "How?" I asked and he stood up and left.

He came back with a box and he handed it to me.

"We all put in and got it for you" he said as I opened it and pulled out a sleek yet cute and stylish black dress.

"Oh my god!" I squealed then threw myself at Iggy and hugged him.

"Thank you!" I squealed and he laughed. I tried it on and it was perfect.

"Ella! Phone!" mum called and I raced downstairs.

Ten minutes later I was lying on my bed hugging my pillow and trying not to be a drama queen and cry.

It had been my boyfriend of three months telling me he couldn't make it to the social, and then my best friend J.J called and said Sam (my boyfriend) had just showed up at her place and asked J.J's older sister Lisa to the social.

I hung up the phone and tears came to my eyes. Iggy put his arm around me. "I heard it all" he said sadly. Usually I'd yell at him for listening to my phone conversations, but this time I shook his arm off and ran to my room.

Silent tears ran down my face. I hoped if anything this would make me stronger. I heard a knock at my door.

"Go away" I said, my voice breaking. "It's me" Iggy said and I was going to tell him to go away but said come in instead.

My mascara smudged and watery eyes widened as Iggy walked in. He stood there in front of me in a black tux.

"Be my date to the social?" he asked. I sniffed and wiped my eyes. I got up off my bed and wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my head into his chest.

"Of course I will. You are the best friend anyone could ever have" I whispered. "That's what best friends are for" he whispered back.
