Also it would be great if someone could tell me how to put a link in to show the girls dresses. Okay thank you =)
Chapter 13: Winter Ball and Screaming
Tatianna had just finished telling Reid about her vision, and about the part she had left out during her other one. She watched him as he just sat in one of the chairs in her room thinking and absorbing all of the information she had just told him.
"Wait, I don't get why your first vision he was saying that you have what he needs, and then in the other one he was saying you are worthless to him" Reid suddenly spoke up, looking at her slightly confused.
"Well, I don't know that either. But it could be that the first one was at a later time, or something changed in our actions and he never figured out what I can do or am. That's all I can think of" she answered him, while pulling her long hair into a high pony tail and sitting on her bed.
"I guess we'll find out, but to be honest with you Tatianna I think that we should tell the others it's starting to sound like a dangerous situation and one that you and I can't deal with on our own" Reid explained, unsure of what her reaction could be he saw her body tense up at telling the others.
"I don't know Reid, I just I don't want to right now." Tatianna said quietly while looking at her hands, after seeing how Reid reacted the first time she wasn't quite willing to tell three others that could react the same or worse.
"Come on Tat we need them, alright? I'll tell whether you like it or not" Reid pointed out growing slightly angry, after hearing what Tatianna had seen in her vision and about her injuries he knew he wasn't going to let that happen and that they needed help.
"Can we just tell them after the ball, I promise we can do it that Sunday. Just not before it, I just want to have a night of fun with you and Tyler and everyone" she partially pleaded with him, he knew she was nervous about it and that waiting would only make it worse but if it would make her feel better in the least beat he figured they might as well wait then since they'd waited this long.
"Fine, but we're telling them Sunday. I won't let anything happen Tat" Reid reassured her, as he got up and made his way back over to her bed. "Let's get some sleep we have school in three hours" he mumbled as he made his way underneath the covers.
"I'll just be up in one, but sounds like a good idea" Tatianna replied, cuddling closer to Reid after the night she had she wanted to make sure he was close.
Winter Ball
Tatianna sat in Tyler's hummer with him, talking about how the night was hopefully going to be a good time. She was wearing a long wool button trench coat, it hid most of her dress since it went to her knees, she looked in the back randomly making sure her over night bag was still in its place. She was a bit nervous about her dress but her excitement for the night was over riding any other of her emotions, as her and Tyler pulled into the parking lot she grinned at him while getting her small clutch purse and stepping out of the hummer and walking up to the school doors. Upon entering she saw the gang standing there waiting for them, talking amongst themselves.
"You guys are finally here" Reid stated bumping fists with Tyler, while his arm was wrapped around his dates waist. Tanya was standing there beside Reid, she was a pretty girl with dark blonde brown hair and green eyes. She was wearing a bright pink strapless dress that had a pink fabric band around her waist with a large bow, her dress went to just above her knees and looked slightly like lace near the bottom. It was a cute dress overall, and Tatianna was slightly jealous she hadn't gotten a shorter dress but she decided that could be for the spring dance that Sarah and Kate told her happened every year.
"Yeah man sorry someone wasn't fully ready" Tyler replied laughing as he looked at Tatianna, she just shook her head while looking at Kate and Sarah.
"Oh you look great Sarah" she exclaimed. Sarah was wearing a purple strapless dress, that went to the floor, it had a simple design to it. Her chest had a slight pleated look, while the sides at her abdomen had big bars of jewels coming into the center but stopping before the middle. While the rest flowed flawlessly on her body to the floor, and it had a lace up back on it. Sarah's hair was pulled back into an elegant bun, with a small jewel encrusted flower resting in it, her bangs were side swept and out of her face. Her makeup consisted of silver eye shadow with a soft touch of purple on the outer corners, a dab of eyeliner on the top lid, a small amount of blush to give her a healthy glow and some simple clear lip-gloss. Along with her makeup and dress Sarah was wearing a pair of black heels, and she had on a long necklace that had a silver circle of jewels at the bottom. She looked beautiful, and Tatianna wondered how many times Caleb had probably told her that night
"Awh thanks" Sarah blushed a bit, while Kate nodded her head at her.
"You look amazing too Kate" Tatianna then said while she glanced at Kate. She was wearing a navy blue dress, that was simple but elegant. It was all one color, and went to the floor just as Sarah's did but the halter straps were all jewels that reflected the lights in the room. The bust was tight, showing off her top while the rest of it billowed beneath her giving her dress a slight airy look. Her hair was curled in medium sized curls, so that it had a large amount of bounce, and pinned the left side. While her dark blue glittery eye shadow made her eyes pop, a touch of bronzer made her skin look fresh a sun kissed and her lips looked good with the small amount of lip gloss that was on them. She also had on a pair silver heels, and a pair of dangling diamond earrings.
"Well thanks, I'd tell you the same but you still have your coat on" Kate replied to her laughing, when Tatianna looked down and realized she was still wearing her coat.
"Oh right lets go put this in the coat room" Tatianna stated before waiting for Kate and Sarah to show her where she the room was. They walked off and told the boys they would be back in a few minutes, Reid watched them walk off he was a bit eager to see Tatianna's dress. He talked to Tanya for a bit, deciding that he would have to talk to her throughout the whole night since she was his date.
"Oh boy" Tyler mumbled loud enough for the guys to hear, they all looked over at where the girls had gone to only to see them standing there again. Reid looked at Tatianna as her and the girls made their way back over to the group, he couldn't stop looking at her she looked amazing. Her dress was a metallic silver color, it had a strap on each shoulder with a design on them with jewels and the chest was pleated with a lining of jewels. It then went into a tight bodice that had an intricate design on it, the bottom went to the floor was and was pleated like Sarah and Kate's dresses but it seemed to move more than the other two girls. Reid noticed that her shoes were also silver but Greek style sandals, she had three silver bracelets on her wrist with jewels that were clear except for the middle one it was a bright blue color. She had on neutral shades of eye shadow instead of her usual heavy make up, with only her upper lids having eyeliner on them and her lips were a brilliant shade of red. Her long blonde hair was in nice waves, and pulled back into a loose braid except for her side bangs that were flipped out a slight amount and a few strands framing her face which were slightly curled.
"You look great Tatianna" Tyler said to her taking her hand and leading her into the dance, she smiled and laughed at him while skipping along side him.
They all sat down at a table, while the guys went and got the something to drink for everyone. Tatianna looked around the room, it was decorated with chandeliers, white flowing large strips of fabric were up on the roof pinned at the beginning and then at the walls before it fell straight to the ground. The tables had white tablecloths, with crystal candleholders and white candles. There was a lot of white but there were also splashes of blue and silver around the canteen and some of the strobe lights were blue and purple. Tatianna felt her clutch in her hand vibrate; she ignored it and went back to her conversation with the girls.
"Here's your drink my lady" Tyler came up to the table placing Tatianna's drink in front of her and sitting beside her.
"You are such a dork Tyler," she told him laughing "but thank you for the drink" she added on afterwards.
"hey don't tell people" Tyler joked, while taking a sip of his pop. Tatianna just chuckled at him while having some of her water.
"So I'm think when we leave, we go on a food run too. You agree with me?" she asked him, in all seriousness she hadn't ate anything except for an apple at breakfast. Sometimes she cursed smoking for curbing her appetite sometimes she praised it, in all honesty she could probably eat more than Reid could in a day.
"Sounds good to me, I'm thinking something really good. We'll decide when we leave, you excited to party tonight?" Tyler replied, while noticing that Sarah, Kate, Pogue and Caleb had left to go dance. He saw Tatianna look out into the crowd and then back at the table where Reid and Tanya were currently making out, she rolled her eyes and then grabbed Tyler hand.
"Tyler when I not excited to party? Now come on lets dance, it's what we are here for" she stated loudly as she pulled him closer to the dance floor and speakers. The music wasn't currently a slow song, so Tatianna and Tyler along with many others were grinding on the dance floor.
"I never thought I'd see the day where we danced like this together" Tatianna remarked as they danced close to each other, moving off of the others movements. Tyler laughed out loud, while he goofily twirled Tatianna around.
"Yeah, well as you said we're here to dance so I might as well. Plus it's not like I don't know you like Reid" he responded quietly, so that no one would hear the statement. Tatianna whirled around and looked at Tyler questioningly.
"What do you mean? I don't like Reid" she shook her head as she spoke, before looking at Tyler. He was giving her a look like he didn't believe her, so she waited for him to speak again.
"Not everyone would notice Tatianna, but you know how I am. I observe people, and you like Reid a lot. You are always around him, if it's not with the whole group it's just you two alone. You two even have nightly phone calls when you're not having a sleepover. You always put Reid on a pedestal compared to everyone else and it sure seems like you have a lot of trust put into him" he explained while briefly glancing behind her before awaiting her answer.
"So I put a lot of trust in Reid, I have the right to. We've had many conversations and some that were very serious so yeah I do trust him I also don't put him on a pedestal, just cause I hang out with him tons doesn't prove that I like him. Tyler, you are one silly guy" she retorted grinning, Tyler spun her around to the front doors where Reid currently was with his date Tanya both of them making out while exiting the room, coats on.
"If you don't like Reid, then tell me how you feel about that in all honesty" Tyler simply stated to her, he knew she liked him but she just hadn't admitted it to herself fully.
"That's what Reid does, that's what I do for crying out loud" she said to him, while they slowly made there way back to the table.
"Alright Tat, fine don't agree with me. You'll see" Tyler pointed out wittily, while taking a drink and then asking Tatianna if she wanted anything to eat from the canteen at the moment.
"Yeah can I get like a bag of chips or something along those lines." She told him smiling, while watching Caleb drag Sarah off the dance floor and head towards the table. He was breathing heavily, but Sarah was doing pretty good still.
"Getting a little tired there Caleb?" Tatianna grinned at Caleb.
"She's non stop so yeah a bit" he replied to her smiling, while holding Sarah's hand at the table.
"Hey, I'm not that bad" Sarah remarked, faking a pout while looking the two before she quickly broke out into a smile not being able to hold it in anymore.
"Sarah seriously I've never seen you upset, or calm" Tat pointed out laughing a bit.
The night carried on, and soon they were all on their way to the party Tatianna was changing quickly in the very back of Tyler's hummer. She threw on a pair of slightly thicker than normal tights, with black ballet flats before putting on a black tank top, and then putting on a white crocheted tunic that went to her mid thigh. She crawled back up into the front of the vehicle, as they pulled into the drive thru at McDonalds, she leaned back and grabbed her large black belt that she cinched around her waist completing her look. Her hair and make up were still the same, looking over at Tyler she listened to him order for himself he looked back over at her wanting to know her order so she leaned over him and through the window.
"Can we also get two double big Macs, two super sized fries and one large coke" she spoke, and then leaned back in and sat in her seat. Tyler pulled ahead a bit stopping behind another vehicle; he glanced over at her grinning.
"Two big Macs, and two super sized fries? Are you sure you can even eat all of that, you're tiny" he stated and smiled when he heard her scoff.
"I'm hungry, and I can eat a lot. You should know that Ty" She told him, raising her nose in the air as if she were mocking some snob. Tyler just shook his head, pulling up to the window and getting their food he paid and they continued on their way to the party.
Entering the large house Tatianna and Tyler found the others all hanging around in the living room. Tatianna sighed as she sat down on one of the couches, her legs were tired from her heels and she was tired from her past few days. Sarah came and sat beside her, looking around at the people that were at the party.
"Reid and Tanya are here now" Sarah simply mentioned while nodding towards the other part of the room where Reid was currently stationed with Tanya hanging off of him.
"Oh good for them" Tatianna replied, truthfully she was a bit bothered by Reid being around another girl. 'It's just because you're so used to having Reid just for yourself, you two are always together so now you have to slightly share him at least for tonight' she thought to herself.
'Not bothered by it?" Sarah asked her, while taking her drink from Caleb's outstretched hand.
"Maybe a bit but its just cause I don't ever have to share Reid. Now I have to with someone that's not in the group. But it's just for tonight" she answered her honestly, and saw Sarah grin. "But enough about that, lets party!" Tatianna exclaimed jumping to the floor and going over to where she had hidden her alcohol upstairs to grab two bottles of corona.
The night continued on, with little drama until Tanya decided that Tatianna was dancing to close with Reid at the party. She shoved the two apart, standing in front of Reid while glaring at Tatianna. "Could you not be all over my date" Tanya pointed out in a demeaning tone.
"Didn't know there was any rules against me dancing with my best friend" Tatianna replied to her snappily.
"Well there is tonight, I'm here with Reid and he's my date. So you don't have to get bitter and jealous about it" Tanya remarked drunkenly, looking at Tat who was now rolling her eyes at the dark blonde haired girl.
"Reid, get your fucking date under control" Tat snapped, turning her head towards him. He looked at her slightly shocked at the current situation that was taking place, and partially pissed off at how the two girls were acting.
"Don't go crawling to him to save the day Tatianna, just stay away from us tonight you slut" Tanya stated grabbing Reid and leading him off, he glanced back at Tatianna who just shook her head and went to talk to Tyler.
"Well that was interesting" Tyler pointed out as Tat came and stood beside him, she glared at him lightly before grabbing a shot from someone that was passing them around.
"What a fucking, wow I can't even explain how angry I am. I was just dancing with him, and he didn't even say anything when she called me a slut. Just let her drag him off, where'd his backbone go" Tatianna ranted after downing the drink, it burned down her throat but she ignored the feeling.
"Just let it go Tat, she's a drunk girl. Reid probably just didn't want to have to deal with that, he does have to drive her home" Tyler suggested, while handing Tatianna one of her beers. She nodded her head, but inside she was slightly hurt by Reid not saying anything even though she knew it wasn't a big deal.
"Tatianna! Lets dance" Kate yelled grabbing Tat's hand, the corona that she had just gotten was now being placed back into Tyler's hand as she went with Kate and Sarah to the dance floor. They all danced around each other having fun, while the guys all talked to each other.
"Okay I'm tired of dancing, we've done that all night!" Tatianna exclaimed, making her way back over to the others leaving Kate and Sarah to continue dancing. "How do they keep going, gosh" she said as she stood by Tyler retrieving her drink back from him.
"Who knows" Pogue replied, looking at Kate and smiling towards her as she waved at him.
Reid came back over to the group, with no Tanya in sight; he walked over to Tatianna and smiled at her. She gave him a weak smile in return and adverted her gaze back to the group joining in a conversation with Sarah and Pogue. 'What's that about?' Reid thought, noticing that her reaction was less than ordinary he shook off the thought and talked to Tyler and Caleb about the party and upcoming swim meet for a bit.
"Reid, let's go dance" Tanya's voice came up beside Reid, she smiled at him as she held onto his hand and then looked at everyone else in the group. Tatianna glanced at Tanya and noticed that she was looking at her, as if she were better than Tat. Crossing her arms Tatianna began to turn her body back towards some of the others, but stopped slightly when Tanya suddenly kissed Reid rather passionately. Tatianna continued turning towards Tyler, suddenly she was extremely pissed off at Reid because she thought that after the girl had called her a slut that he would have gotten rid of her not making out with her and for another reason that she couldn't pin point.
"Tyler can you take me home, today was too long of a day." She asked him, as Reid and Tanya began leaving to go dance. Tyler looked at her slightly sympathetically, while nodding his head he looked at the others and said that he would be back in a bit.
"Oh if your coming back I can always get a cab, don't worry about it." Tatianna told him smiling; he gave her an unsure look.
"It's fine Tat, I can drive you home" Tyler replied, but Tat shook her head at him.
"No, I think it will do me some good. I need some fresh air and a lot of time to think" she explained, her eyes were awake and she seemed to not be tired in anyway but Tyler noticed how the smile on her face was vaguely forced.
"Alright, I understand. Just as long as you're sure." Tyler inquired, knowing that she was more than likely going to think about what they had discussed earlier and her night.
"Yeah I'm sure, so I'll see you tomorrow for breakfast right?" she said to everyone, while she made sure that she had everything she needed.
"Yeah at like ten, have a good night" Kate confirmed while she hugged Tatianna, after saying good night to everyone Tatianna left the house and pulled out her cell phone calling for a taxi to come and pick her up after getting the directions and being told that it would be fifteen minutes she decided to have a cigarette while she waited.
"You're leaving?" Reid's silky voice came up from behind Tatianna, she twirled around looking at him while having her smoke.
"Yeah" she simply verified while looking around the party at the numerous vehicles parked in the driveway.
"Why" Reid asked her, noticing how she wasn't really pay much attention to him as she turned back around and put her smoke to her lips.
"Tired" Tatianna told him, becoming impatient that the cab would be at least eight more minutes. She felt Reid's hand on her arm and her body being turned around quickly, she looked at Reid angrily as he glared at her.
"What the fuck is your deal" he demanded, his voice growing louder with each word that he had spoke.
"Reid I am not in the mood just go back into the house to Tanya" she grimaced as she said the last part 'fuck' she thought to herself groaning inwardly to her slip up.
"What are you jealous or something?" Reid probed her, acting rather rudely towards her. He watched her as she looked at him eyes slightly turning white.
"No, I am not jealous Reid. But when you're date calls on of your best friends a slut, normally you stand up for the friend" she yelled at him, he could tell she was mad but that she couldn't be this mad over just that.
"Oh come on Tatianna, that's not the reason and you know it. Why do you always have to do this bullshit, why can't you just say what the fuck is wrong" Reid screamed back at her, his anger growing more and more. 'Every single time, she has to never tell me the truth. Always half of it or none of it, fuck' he thought to himself.
Tatianna noticed lights coming up the driveway and looked back to see the taxi driving up towards the house, she glanced back at Reid letting her eyes return to normal after gaining control back over her powers. "Actually I am telling you the fucking truth, I thought you would trust me by now Reid. Whatever, I'll see you at breakfast tomorrow at ten we have things more important than this to worry about." She finalized, as she started to open the door of the cab, but Reid wasn't finished yet.
"So you are saying our friendship isn't important, good to know" he childishly spoke, Tatianna rolled her eyes before looking at him.
"No I didn't say that, don't twist my words Reid. I'll see you tomorrow" Tatianna tiredly stated, as she got into the cab and shut the door giving the driver the directions to her house. On the way there she thought about her conversation with Tyler earlier that day at the dance about Reid, then to Reid leaving the dance with Tanya early her fists clenched at it, she then thought about her conversation with Sarah and Kate, but her thoughts were interrupted when the taxi pulled up in her driveway. She smiled to the driver, giving him a tip in the pay and then headed into her house towards the kitchen; her parents were asleep so she tried to be silent as she poured a glass of water and another of pop.
"Not going to bed anytime soon" she mumbled to herself while making her way to her room, after changing into a pair of sweats and a tank top she rubbed off all her makeup and brushed her hair out before pulling it into a messy bun and sitting on her bed to play on her laptop and watch a movie on her TV. She grabbed her cell phone out of her purse once she remembered that it had vibrated earlier, she opened it up and saw it say three new text messages. Sighing she noticed that all of them were from Reid. Reading the very last one he sent first she rolled her eyes and growled a bit, 'You always have to do this Tat don't you, run away from a problem or not confront the whole situation', she then read the second one that was from when he had first came to the party and saw her 'you're cute lil lady' she slightly smiled at it before reading the first one from when they were in the dance 'you look gorgeous babe' Tatianna smiled a bit more before tossing her phone onto her other pillow.
As the movie played on and her web surfing became boring she thought about what Tanya had said, and how she had kissed Reid in front of her just to spite her, just to make her angrier and more jealous. 'It worked' Tatianna thought to herself, she closed her eyes as she spoke to herself in a whisper "Fuck, I like Reid".
End
Tell me what you think!
