Chapter Thirty Nine
"Wow, you look lovely. You will be the standout." My grandmother said, staring at me in awe.
"Thank you." I smiled. "Why does the dress have to be white? It's not like I'm getting married." I said, staring at myself in the mirror. I was at a dress boutique having my final dress fitting before the ball.
"It's the debutante ball, everyone wears white Dylan. Your escort will be wearing a black tuxedo."
I turned my back to the mirror to face my grandmother.
"Escort, no one said anything about an escort."
She looked at me like I was crazy. "Of course you're going to have an escort, I thought that was clear."
It definitely wasn't clear.
"Uh Grandma, I'm not sure if Callum would be up for that."
She laughed softly and took my hand. "Oh sweetheart I'm sorry but Callum will not be your escort. I already have someone lined up for you."
My eyes widened, stunned by the words that were coming out of her mouth. "But Callum is

"This guy is a complete stranger. Why do you need an escort anyway?" Callum huffed."I know, I know, but what can I do. It's too late to back out of it, my family has already put so much money into the event." I groaned, laying my head on his chest.He massage my scalp, running his fingers through my curls."I'm coming to that dinner. Whether your grandma likes it or not." He grumbled.I smiled, looking up at him. "Of course you're coming, I wouldn't have it any other way."He bent his head down, pecking my lips."Let's see what this guy looks like." Callum said, pulling out his phone. He went on his instagram, searching Gabriel Whitman."There are probably thousands of people with that name, no way you're finding him." I said."I'll find him." A look of determination on his face.After a few scrolls and clicks, he smirked."Found him.""How do you know it's him?" I questioned, trying to see his screen."Oh it's

The Whitman's were like the perfect family. Well mannered, well manicured, boldly and beautifully black.Charles Whitman, the father, was a sports attorney. Laura Whitman, Gabriel's mother, was a socialite and a woman of high society like my grandmother; born into money. Gabriel Whitman was as seen on his instagram account, perfect.As they stood in front of me, I couldn't help but feel jealous of them. I wasn't sure what exactly I was jealous of, but I just wanted what they had. Their presence was felt, and they commanded the room the second they stepped foot in my house. All three of them radiated confidence, something that I'd strive to obtain.Everyone was quickly introduced, and the next thing I knew, we were all sitting down at the dining room table."I must say Dylan, you are a very beautiful girl.Why haven't you joined the pageant circuit, you'd do very well." Mrs. Whitman said.

Callum's POVAs I checked the door that Dylan had scurried out of for the hundredth time, I knew that something was wrong. She had been gone for almost 20 minutes now, and it was starting to worry me. Finally, I got up and went to her family's table."Do you know where Dylan is?" I asked her dad."I'm pretty sure she's in the bathroom." He said."She's been gone a while, don't you think?""You can't spend five minutes without your precious Dylan?" Mel commented from across the table."No, no I can't." I responded bluntly.I walked away from their table, and went to grab Amy."Can you come with me, I need you to check on Dylan in the bathroom." I said to her."Sure, no problem." She replied."I'll come too." Nessa said, jumping to her feet.The three of us walked out of the ballroom and followed the directions to the women's restroom."Let me know if she's okay." I told them before they walked into the

My stomach had finally stopped making noises. All I felt now is a dull ache where hunger had been.My lips were dry and cracked, and dried blood still remained on my head from Kelly knocking me out days ago.When I first met her, I could tell that something was a little off. Her drugging Callum and myself had only confirmed that.But now, I realized that there was something very wrong with her. Some form of mental illness that made her truly deranged.She'd come to see me in the cellar every day, giving me a bottle of water and a handfull of crackers as if I was a pet bird she was forced to feed.It had been a little over two weeks, and I was still in my same gown from the debutante ball. It was filthy, as was I.The only bathroom that I had was a bucket

Callum's POV"Cal, someone is here to see you." My mom said, peeking her head into my room.I shut my laptop and looked up at her."Who is it?" I asked.She pushed my door open, revealing the person standing behind her.I wouldn't say I was shocked to see him, I figured he'd make an appearance sooner or later. But I much rather he'd stayed where he was."Justin. What are you doing here?" I snarled."I'll let you guys talk." My mom said, quickly making her exit.Justin stood in my doorway, staring at me, not saying anything."Well? What the fuck do you want?!"Taking a deep breath, he finally took a step into my bedroom. "I want to help you find Dylan."Of course he did."Take a seat." I grunted, pointing at my desk chair.He sat down, shifting in his seat as if he was uncomfortable."My stepdad told me you were doing your own search. Outside of what th

Justin's POVI looked into the hallway of the birthing suites, watching Steve talk to a police officer. I walked out of the suite towards them, hoping that there was news on Dylan.Steve turned to me, his eyes brimming with tears."What's wrong? She's gone isn't she?" I asked, my voice cracking. My heart stopped and I felt myself beginning to cry."No," Steve shook his head crying. "She's here, she's hurt but she's here, in this hospital.""Where? I need to see her."The officer cleared his throat before speaking. "As I was told Mr Gold, we need to get a full picture of what went on before anyone can see her. I would like for everyone that is close to Miss Gold to come down to the station."This man must be out of his mind."To be honest with you officer, I couldn't give a fuck what you want.

Kelly took her because of me, and she'd been at the cabin all along. This was all my fault."Can we see her?" My mom asked, her eyes pleading with him. She was visibly shaking, and I understood how she was feeling. She saw Dylan as her daughter.He nodded. "She is now allowed to have visitors.
