DAWN.
"No Dawn. I'm not gonna allow you to wear a Jean and tank top to clubbing, do you think we are going to the movies or something? You are putting on a dress and that's it! "
Kira yells as she paces across my room and opens my closet, staring at my clothes to look for something I could wear to the club.
I let out a soft but frustrated sigh as I look down at myself and I see nothing bad in what I'm wearing. It's ripped Jean which is like one of the few Jeans I have and the tank top I'm wearing has a jacket over it.
It isn't so bad but Kira sees something wrong in wearing this to a club.
She insists that I wear a dress, even though I would prefer wearing what I'm in already.
I prefer clothing that I am more comfortable in and with this, I'm very comfortable but of course, my best friend thinks it's boring.
Sometimes, I wonder how the hell we even managed to tolerate each other for so long and keep the friendship going. We are very opposite, like two sides of a coin, right from the very start we have been very different.
She's the kind that prefers all these things, going outing with friends and living life to the fullest. It isn't like I didn't like it either but I prefer indoor outings to outdoor but now, I don't think I want either.
"I don't think it's necessary, it's just to have fun and get out of there. "
I groan frustratingly.
I have planned to just scale through most of the night, if Kira let me cause she's always on my neck and I know she doesn't mean that in a bad way.
A few of my novels are inside my bag in case I get bored there and I am taking my iPad with me also.
They can have all the fun they want and I will do my thing. As long as my presence is enough.
"I repeat girl, you're not wearing that to the club. I'm not gonna allow you to look like some sort of a church nun when you're not. "
She speaks from the closet and I sigh before staring at the wall and watching her rummage through my closet.
She finally comes back and I stare at the dress she's holding.
It's a gold dress and it is stoned across its every fibre.
It's a dress mom got me for my fifteenth birthday party.
I can still remember clearly the huge grin that was plastered across her face when I had flushed and told her I love it, immediately she showed me the dress.
I can remember the proud grin across her face when she saw me in it and I can still remember the way she had clutched me tightly to her chest and placed a soft kiss on my forehead with her eyes glassy when I walked out of my room in it.
I quickly shake my head to prevent myself from walking down that memory lane and breaking down again, like I have been these past days... Years.
"I don't think I should... "
I start saying but she pushes the dress to my chest and pull me up, dragging me into the bathroom.
"Dress. We don't have much time left. "
I sigh before staring at the dress like it's the last thing I'm going to do.
I clutch it to my chest and rest against the wall, almost as if I'm holding something very important to my heart.
It holds so many memories. So many memories than I ever thought it was going to.
I never thought of it as something that could have turned out to be so important to me. This is important but right now, it is.
I blink my eyes before pushing myself off the wall and undressing then slowly putting on the dress.
The material feels silky against my skin and I touch it, feeling its warmth around it before I turn to the mirror.
The dress hugs my body perfectly and I don't look like a high school student, I look like an adult. More like a college student.
I still don't like it despite how much I love the feeling of the dress around me.
I breathe out before staring down at myself, the dress stops at the middle of my thighs and the chest area tightens around me, pushing my chest more than it should.
I walk out of the room, feeling slightly uncomfortable cause it's tighter than I remember and Kira's eyes widen when I appear in front of her.
"Damn babe! You look so fucking hot. "
She says when a cheeky smile while I merely roll my eyes.
I don't want to look hot... Not that I am anyways.
"I still will go with my tank top and my... "
I stop talking when she glares at me and she chuckles before grabbing my hand and dragging me to sit down while she tries to do something with my hair.
After a few minutes, I look at the mirror and my hair is in a better shape than it was earlier.
"Okay, almost done. I just need to put on make-up. "
"No, you know I don't love makeups. Don't, let me just go like this. I think I have done more than enough for tonight. "
I groan and she shakes her head.
"No, I want you to live your life like it's the last day you're gonna live. We are gonna be having a lot of fun and maybe act a little naughty. You should dress up pretty well, after all. It's for one night anyway. "
She winks at me before removing my glasses grabbing the blush and nodding to myself.
That's right. It's for only one night.
Just this one night for me to live my life as it had been before.
Just this one night for me to forget about everything that happened between these past few years and live like nothing matters anymore. Not that anything does anyways.
Just this one night for me to get out of my shell, shielding me away from the world and have fun.
Just one night for me to forget about the pain that I carry in my chest and the scars that have to remain permanently scarred to the depth of my soul.
Just this one night.
And after this night, I'm gonna return to my shell.
Returning to being the quiet and the ever so miserable Dawn.
DAWN. "Damn! This place looks so heavenly. " Kira squeals as we all arrive at the entrance of the club and we all stare around the building. It smells like fun in there and I instantly cringe. Different people trooping in and out and some hanging around by the side, mostly those that are making out against the wall. I gulp in before we all make our way inside and it looks, even more, better on the inside than it looks on the outside. The music booms through the entire room and I can hardly hear a single thing in here except the loud music booming through with people swaying my body towards the beat. "Okay, boys and girls. Welcome to fun!!! " Bryan shouts over the loud music and I clutch tightly to my bag and my novel which I still plan on reading but I think that plan might go f
DAWN. I don't know how the fuck we did it but right now, I'm inside the car or we are both inside the car and I can't keep my own fucking hands to myself. Oh, God! I don't know what the hell I'm doing and neither am I thinking straight but I know that I love what he's doing. With his hands, his fingers, his mouth. Everything. I fucking love the way my body feels in his arms and I can't stop, I don't even want to stop. Instead, I want more. He finally pulls away from me, staring at me as I straddle his laps and I stare right back at him. Now, I can finally have a good view of his face. His hair is pushed to the back and his eyes are a deep shade of brown with some glints of grey dancing around them. They look so captivating and I find myself getting drawn to him. Without thinking twice about it, I lace my fingers through his hair and he lets out a
DAWN. I sigh before pushing the books into my locker before closing it, slamming it may be a little too louder than I intend because some of the students along the hallway turn to look at me before turning back to whatever it is they were doing before when they discovered it isn't something interesting to watch. I lay my back against my locker, unwanted thoughts threatening to invade my mind once again but I'm quick to shake my head before turning back and taking the long hallway that leads to the garden, of course, my novel clutched tightly to my chest as my life depends on it. After the party two weeks ago, I have learnt my lesson about partying and getting drunk and I'm never doing such a stupid thing in my life ever again. I had eventually gone home when I couldn't find the stranger where he had left me. He must have fled before I even woke up. After all, it's just a one night stand
Dawn's POVSchool was over for the day and weirdly, the alone time with Bryan had calmed my nerves much more than I intend for it to.We had left after the bell rung and now here I am, staring at my locker like it's the best thing that I could do."Are you trying to bore holes into that thing or something? What's wrong with the look?"A voice comes up behind me and I don't have to turn back to know exactly who that voice belongs to."I thought you had to go somewhere with Gabriel. Why are you here?""To make sure that you aren't boring holes into your pitiful locker."She replies sarcastically and I roll my eyes before closing the locker shut and turning back to her, my one hand holding my bag as the other goes to my hair and brushes it off my face."Hahaha, that was so funny Kira."I roll my eyes once a
Dawn's POVI'm staring at him, I want to stop and ask him who the hell he is and what the hell I'm doing here but it seems almost as if those words got caught up right in my throat because I can't form a single one of them and I'm just staring at him.His eyes are so mesmerizing that they took me in immediately mine met with them and now, I just can't look away.He stares right back at me, his eyes trailing around my body, examining me as if I'm some kind of project he's trying to figure out.He takes yet another step closer to me and I suck in a harsh breath, I don't know why I did that but I did anyways."I see you're finally awake."He mutters as the edge of his lips tugs up a little bit and is that a smirk? Is a smirking at me right now?Almost as if I had just realized what's happening around me, I jot out of my eyes raping section and scowl at him
Dawn's POVI stare at him and he stares right back at him. I try to search his face to see if he's joking but he doesn't look like he is one bit and I'm quite taken back.What could he possibly need my help with? It's just ridiculous that he would ever need my help with anything."What do you mean?"Okay, I know that isn't exactly the question I should have asked. I should have probably ask him about what he needs my help with but I still can't believe that he does needs my help.He shakes his head at me in response and just when he's about to say something, a knock comes to the door.I turn to look at the door before turning back to gaze at the stranger that's standing in front of me. I don't even know who he is yet."Sirβ¦"The voice comes from the other side of the door and he mutters for whoever the person is to come in.The door slide
DAWNI sigh as I stare up at the house, my heart beating faster against my chest.For some reason, I know that what's behind this door is my Aunt pacing up and down, an angry expression across her face as she fumes and wonders where the hell I've been.I stare down at the phone in my hand. The men that kidnapped me had just given me and there were tones of missed calls from her.She must have called my friends too because they also left some calls and texts. Even Kira texted me, but her text was detailed in a way that shows she's most definitely still angry at me.What do I tell her right now when I walk through that door?Where will I say I went to? What do I say I was doing?I let out a breath, deciding just standing here and staring at the door isn't going to do me any justice so bracing up the confidence that I hope is still left in me, I push the door open after
DAWN"Okay guys, that's all for today. Catch you all later."The teacher says as the bell rings. She grabs her books and walks out of the class and just like it has always been, the class erupts in chattering as soon as she steps out of the door while I sigh before grabbing my bag and stuffing my books into it, my eyes consciously going around the room to search for Kira.She's sitting at the far end of the class, even farther away from me. She really means it when she says it's over, and she isn't going to speak to me until I tell her what's going on.It has been two days, and she hasn't even bother to speak to me, although the last two days were weekends, she's always at my place to spend some time with me, unfortunately she didn't come. Even when I had called her, she didn't pick my call, and I'm almost tempted to tell her.Oh, God!. I do want to tell her. I want to tell her everything, I want t
