Chapter 27

LISSA POV

I grinned as I stood in my room; it was time for possibly the final major event at the school before we graduated and set out, ready for the next part of our lives. We were all getting ready for the prom, I wasn't alone in my room getting ready, Rose, Jill and Mia were all here too.

"Well, well, someone seems excited for prom." Rose teased good-naturedly.

I laughed. "I think we all are, Rose."

We all laughed lightly before Mia spoke up.

"So, Rose, are you sure you're gonna be okay, I mean…?"

Rose bit her lip and I knew why, this would the first time Rose and Dimitri would be seen in public, by a large audience. I turned to her, also worried.

"That's true, are you, are you…?" I queried.

Rose shook her head and smirked. "I'll be fine, don't worry. If anyone has anything to say about us, let them try."

Relieved by her confidence we were all prepared to get ready.

"We better hurry, the guys will be waiting." Jill added at last.

In agreement we began to get dressed. Soon we were all in our prom dresses, mine was a jade green chiffon halter dress that came down to my knees with a fitted bodice and flowing skirt. A simple black band circled my torso under the bust to accentuate my curves. Jade green flats finished the outfit off.

Rose was wearing a maroon strapless dress with fitted lace covered bodice and flowing knee length satin skirt and matching five inch stiletto heels.

Mia and Jill approached us; both also dressed up. Mia in a purple silk bubble skirt dress with spaghetti straps and a fitted bodice, a ribbon tied under the bust to show curves and purple flats.

Jill in a baby blue floor length gown with an asymmetrical skirt with a single shoulder strap with flowers running up it and a fitted bodice, 3 inch open-toed heels of the same colour finished the outfit.

"Alright, let's go, better hurry, we're nearly done." I said. "Just got to finish our hair."

The others nodded and we quickly began styling our hair, each taking our own style. In my case a French braid to pull it back from my face and then into an up-do that was clipped in place with a few loose strands framing my face. Rose had hers softly parted on the right and pinned back from her face.

Mia parted her hair on the left and pinned it into a messy bun just below her hair while Jill settled for simply brushing and pinning her hair back from her face. Once we were all ready, we left my room and soon met with the guys.

We all shared smirks at their faces upon seeing us. Grinning widely I went to Christian, looking rather smart in a double breasted black suit with a jade green waistcoat and black leather shoes with a black tie.

Dimitri meanwhile was clad in a black jacket with tails, a maroon waistcoat, a white dress shirt, black bow tie, black dress pants and black leather shoes. I couldn't help but grin widely, Christian nodded as we observed Rose and Dimitri kissing and embracing.

Gently nudging me, Christian directed my attention to the others, again, it was clear that our most prevalent emotions these days, was happiness and love. Aaron was dressed up good in a purple silk dress shirt, a black dress pants, black leather shoes and a black tie.

Finally, Eddie was wearing a white dress shirt with baby blue tie, black dress pants, a black double breasted jacket and silver waist coat, black leather dress shoes finished the outfit off.

"Wow guys, you all look great." I said truthfully.

Eddie laughed. "Thanks, you all look great too."

Laughing, joking and walking together we began making our way to the grand hall where the prom would be taking place. As we walked I overheard two girls whispering as they walked nearby.

"Oh my god, is that Rose Hathaway, with Dimitri Belikov?"

The other scoffed. "Oh God, how pathetic, he's like...way older than her and, and they're both..."

She didn't finish, in fact, they both stopped talking all together as I glared at them, silencing them at once. They hurried fearfully onwards. I sighed but then saw Rose grinning at me and I returned her grin. Okay, being Queen in spite of my young age definitely had some benefits it seemed.

We entered the main hall and instantly we were surrounded by large crowds, loud music and overwhelming cheerfulness. The effects were immediate, Aaron, Mia, Jill and Eddie all instantly went to join the others and begin dancing. Shaking my head; deciding to leave that for now and joined Rose and Dimitri at the snack table.

"Well, here we are guys." Rose remarked. "We somehow survived everything that was thrown at us and now we're here, at prom."

I laughed. "True, so, think we'll survive this?"

Laughing we continue to banter happily, relieved that everything was back to normal, if not better and we looked forwards to our future. Just then the music changed to a slow dancing song, one Christian and I recognized. We shared a look as, smiling softly he spoke.

"Would you care to dance?"

I returned his smile, taking his hand. "I would love to."

So we headed out onto the dance floor, ignoring the sudden stares we were getting and soon we stood, holding each other, ready to begin dancing.

The lyrics washed over me as we began:

I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do

I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth

In so many ways, I felt this song related to my relationship with Christian; it was something he agreed with after I finally got him to listen to the song. Letting it wash over us, we swayed gently to the music and danced; simply going by emotion, letting our feelings guide us.

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here

Christian glanced around and whispered. "Lissa, we, everybody is..."

"Ignore them." I replied. "It's just us, this moment, is ours."

Smiling he nodded and we continued.

In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

We had come so far, endured so much and had so many obstacles to overcome. But we had done it and we were here, things couldn't be better.

You love me
When you tell me that you love me

The song ended and, looking up into Christian's eyes I let the final bust of emotion push through and, moving closer, we kissed deeply.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
