The Brutal News at Prom Night

After getting the news from his brother about my pregnancy, Nick decided to leave town for a while. He realized that he needed to get away for a short time. Dimitri did not want to stop his brother from going, he also had his problems with Ariana. Dimitri knew that his mate was up to no good and his focus at this point needed to be on her, especially tonight.

“When I get back we’ll have a wedding for you and that brat," Nick said while they walk to his car.

Dimitri smiled, Nick seemed to be in good spirit after last night.

This was a good sigh.

He held Nick’s shoulder and said, “Now you be good.”

“You know for the little brother you are more uptight.”

“Nick."

“Call me tomorrow to let me know how prom went.”

He gave his brother one last smile, got into the car, and instantly he drove off in hopes of leaving Juneau.

Nick realized he had failed to accomplish what he came to this town for and all he could think about was how his brother continues to dominate over him. Getting the one, about to wed, and being powerful again made Nick think how weak he was compared to Dimitri.

“I lost," he said to himself drinking from the bottle of Scotch while he drove off in speed.

Part of Dimitri could feel his brother’s pain, he always thought Nick would have turned out to be the successful one but something changed his luck.

Ariana had taken the day off to attend shopping with Brithney for last-minute dresses.

The rush on what to wear as part of the girls planned to ring in tonight’s excitement. They had lots on their list to do. The girls needed to get their dresses, do their nails, and most importantly their hair. After stopping for smoothies the girls walked down the town to all the boutique stores.

“So where is Katie now?”

“She did not say where she’s staying,” Ariana replied.

“My parents said that Caleb is managing her parent’s businesses,” Brithney said.

“Hm,” Ariana replied and sipped on her strawberry smoothie.

“Dorian is denying it’s his kid.” “You know I saw her leaving his place a while back.”

“So it’s his.” “How bizarre.”

“I wish to smack her.” Brithney implied.

“Just forget her.” “You can make D jealous with Jess.”

Brithney pushed the elegant dress store open and replied, “Jess, the virgin.”

Ariana laughed, “He’s not so bad.”

“Welcome, how can I help you ladies today.” they entered the store and was greeted by the store owner.

“We need prom dresses, something that will blow everyone’s minds.” Ariana said.

The lady gave a pleasant smiled and gestured that they should walk with her.

“So who are you bringing tonight?” Brithney asked.

“You’ll see.”

They were taken at the back section of the store where the woman had hid away most of the elegant dresses.

“I had these hidden away for a bride and a sweet sixteen formal party.”

Ariana eyes became wooed by the silver and white dress's beauty. With Dimitri limitless card that he had given to her, she knew that dress she could afford.

Brithney looked at the tagged, “These are way to expensive.”

“I’ll take the sweet sixteen.”

They lady glowed and Brithney went stunned, “That’s too much Ariana.”

“This dress suits you.”

“You heard the lady.” Ariana said and smiled.

The owner walked off with the dress and Brithney quickly confronted her friend, “Where are you getting that kind of money?”

“My man.” she bragged and walked off to the cashier section, “Now pick something in your budget.”

Ariana said to Brithney who was just behind her.

Brithney turned red, she did not expected to feel so humiliated. She turned around to the corner section and walked away enough to get some privacy. Ariana was at the counter cashing. Brithney pulled out her phone and dialed the last person she had in mind.

“Look who called.”

“Hey.”

“Hi.”

“Can you do me a favor?”

“Sure.”

“Can you purchase a dress for me at Gilmore Glamour?”

“Of course.”

She smiled, it was easier than she thought, “Thanks D, I’ll leave it at the cashier.”

She hung the call up and made her way to Ariana and as she walked she

whispered, “Let’s see who’s wearing glam tonight, bitch.”

“Aren’t you taking anything?”

Ariana turned and asked Brithney as she stood next to her.

“Maybe later.” she said and deliberately dropped her bag on the floor.

Ariana took her dress and said, “Thank you.” as the lady remained on the other side of the counter.

Both girls quickly made their way out, Ariana was happy to get the best dress for tonight.

“Wait here, I think I left my bag in the store.” Brithney said and quickly went back into the store.

Ariana pulled out her phone and started messaging her boyfriend as she waited for Brithney.

Brithney quickly grabbed the dress her eyes had secretly caught the moment they walked in. She ran to the cashier side and placed it on the counter.

“I want this.”

“It’s Jovani.” “Our most expensive dress.”

“I know.” “Now a guy by the name of Dorian is coming for it.” “All cute and handsome that you can’t miss him.”

The lady nodded her head and smiled, “You mean Mr Valentino.”

“You know him?”

“Very familiar with him.”

Brithney grabbed her bag on the floor and said, “Well good.” “That’s my boyfriend.”

The woman smiled and took the dress from on top the counter. She quickly placed it in a shopping bag and watched Brithney leave her store.

“Not for long.” as she walked out of the store.

“Did you get it?” Ariana’s concerned voice.

Brithney displayed her bag to Ariana to gesture that she did. The girls then continued to carrying on with what they came to do.

Later that evening I was organizing for the big night. I took a shower and did my hair in a French braid at the front coming into a low messy bun with strands of hair falling at the back and front. I took sometime to just do a simple make up that would match my dress for tonight. I was eager to put it on and I hope that it would still fit.

“Knock, Knock!”

There was a soft tapped at the door.

“Come in.” I responded.

“Well, you look rather lovely.”

I looked in the mirror and noticed how great he looked in his black and dark blue suit.

“You look ravishing yourself.”

Alejandro smiled and I asked, “Are you sure you don’t have a date?”

He chuckled and I said, “You do, don’t you?”

I smiled teasing him with my questions.

“Actually there is someone I like that’s going to be there.”

“Great, I can help you boost your confidence.”

He nodded his head and smiled, then said, “Sure thing.”

I got up from in front the mirror and went into the bathroom where my dress was.

I gradually got dress into a two piece rose gold dress. The high halter top were attached with an outer lace material of floral pattern and the silhouette skirt flowed with a under layer of endless glitters line to the left side of it. I gracefully made my way out to only see the look on his face. I could tell that he was amazed and even I was astonished on seeing myself in the mirror.

“You are definitely going to win prom queen.”

I blushed and nodded my head as no. There were so many beautiful girls at my school and tonight they wanted to make it all about them.

“You are wearing Alyce.”

“Yes.” “How do you know?”

“On my trip to Paris Alyce got the most beautiful dresses that I have ever seen.”

I smiled, not only was he gorgeous but he had great taste in fashion.

“Ready?” I asked and took my matching clutch bag.

“Definitely.”

We made our way out, we had a small distance to cover as the prom was located down town of Juneau and we were twenty minutes away from the high school. We crossed the Douglas bridge and made our way into the town side. I pulled my coat over because of the biting coldness. This time I had worn a white fury coat because of the changes in the weather condition.

“Do you want me to take it off?” he asked.

“Take off what?”

“The ac.”

I nodded my head. I took a deep breath out as we pulled up at my high school. I was shaking with nerves on seeing students getting out of their cars and making their way into the building. He held my cold hand, I knew he saw the nervousness in me.

“You look beautiful, don’t let the nervousness wear you.”

I felt like he was Caspian trying to calm me down, “It’s just been a while.”

“Then show them Katie’s back with a bang.” “I know your friends would be happy to see you.”

I nodded my head, I knew the rest except for one person would not be eager to. After what happened with Caspian and Ariana and her seeing us together, I felt like I was the last thing she needed to see.

He parked reserved at the front entrance of the school seeing that he was a special guest. I held my dress skirt and thought about Caspian as we made our way up the stairs. My eyes could not help but notice the Gazebo beautifully decorated with lights and flowers.

“It’s beautiful,” he said standing at the top of the stairs.

“Yes.”

I admired everything about it especially Mirror Castle lake to the side of it and the misty mountain view. Upon entering, Alejandro’s eyes started to gaze around. It seems like he was searching for someone.

“Are you okay?” I asked and gripped his arm.

He smiled and whisper in my ear, “I’m a hell of a nervous wreck here.”

The auditorium was warm compared to the outside, thankfully they had shut the doors preventing the outside coldness. I massaged his arm in hopes that his nerves would go away.

“Katie.” a voice from behind startled me.

I turned around and said, “Maya.”

She smiled and glanced at what I was wearing, “You are skinny.”

I became distracted on seeing Josh by her side, it had been almost one month and some weeks since I saw him.

“Nice to see you both together.”

Her smile turned to frowned, “I’ve been trying to call you.”

“I left town with my parents for business.” I lied bluntly.

“Well it’s good to see you, enjoy the night.” she said and looked at Josh gesturing she was ready to move on.

“You to.”

As they walked off they started to chitchat among each other.

“I thought she was pregnant.”

“She is probably early pregnant.” he said.

“Right.” “I have a feeling Brithney is going to confront her tonight.”

“Keep out of it.

I noticed the dashing Nev making his way to us along side the gorgeous stud Avan.

“Hey, glad you can make it.”

Nev said to Alejandro and then turned to me, “Hey Katie.”

“Hi Nev and Avan.”

Avan smiled, it was good to see him in great spirit.

“Wait you two know each other.”

“Yeah we have all the same classes together.” Nev responded and I nodded my head.

“Well Katie this is my boyfriend.” Alejandro said and smiled.

Oh, all those times I had been wondering along with the girls why Nev was always single. Now it was clear as day light.

“Oh, great.”

The awkward moments Alejandro and I had a few times was not him flirting with me. That is good to know, now it was no longer weird and I felt relieved.

“Avan, this is the handsome guy I have been telling you about.”

Avan stretched his hand out to shake Alejandro's one. Something about them looked similar.

“Wait, you talk about me?”

Snapping me out of it Alejandro asked Nev.

Immediately Avan turned around only to be greeted by the heart melting Dorian.

“Well, well.” “Looks like everyone’s here.” he smiled at the boys and turned my direction, “Katie.”

I remained quiet and Nev introduced his love, “Dorian this is Alejandro.”

“Nev mentioned so much about you.” he reached his hand out to Alejandro and said.

“This not getting old, is it?”

Dorian stared at me and sipped his drink. Avan remained awkward in the middle of his both friends while Nev continued to enjoy Alejandro’s company.

“If I may, Katie shall we dance?”

Unexpectedly his words hit me, I was not here to dance but support Alejandro.

“Do you want to really do this here?” his complex words stroked me hinting something was up.

I nodded my head at him, I preferred he did not make a scene in front the guys.

“Are you okay?” Alejandro aware of the awkwardness.

“Yes, it’s just a dance.”

I placed my hand in his and he leads us onto the dance floor.

“I should get us some punch.” Nev said and walked off leaving Avan with Alejandro.

“What the hell are you doing here?”

“Calm down.” “I do not plan on staying.” Alejandro implied.

“Yeah, well you need to get out of Juneau.”

“I wish, I have no where else to go.” “College is closed.”

Avan stared at him and asked, “What do you need money?”

Alejandro could not believe what he was hearing. He did not came here to be pushed away.

“He can’t see you here.”

“People will notice.” “You are risking everything.”

“No, I’m not.”

The tension grew between the boys, Avan was demanding that he goes but Alejandro had other plans.

“Just leave tomorrow!”

The music were loud preventing their loud conversation from being overheard. Quickly Nev was spotted returning back with drinks in his hands. Instantly Avan left on seeing him, he had nothing further to add.

“Where he go?”

“Oh, he said he had to take a leak.”

Nev handed over the punch to his beloved and they both sipped on their drinks.

Caspian rushed up the stairs after calling out to me. He came into the bedroom and noticed my makeup set on the vanity table were opened and used.

“Oh Katie, why don’t you listen.”

He then hurriedly grabbed his black tie suit and rushed out of the house. On his way he tried to call his brother but it kept ringing off.

“Dammit!” he uttered and pelt the phone down.

Dorian gripped my waist tight as we slow dance and stared at me. I kept my gaze lowered not wanting to look in those beautiful eyes.

“I thought we were over this.” he whispered in my ear.

I turned my head and noticed Alejandro had been looking across our way.

I turned back to him and said, “We are.”

He squeezed my waist and inquired, “So why are you telling people that you are pregnant with my child?”

His question surprised me, someone knew I was pregnant and started spreading a rumor.

“What?” “Who told you that?” I asked as we stared at each other.

Caspian entered the building, he had parked in front of the entrance stairs not giving a rat’s about what people thought.

“Sir you can not go in.” a student at the front table said.

He pointed at the auditorium door and demanded, “Let me in.”

“Sir, we need to check the name list first.”

“Are you serious?” his harsh tone towards her.

“Oh, good to see you are still in town.” the voice of the principal Ms Maroon.

“I need to get in.”

She smiled at the handsome archer in his gentleman suit and uttered, “You heard the man!”

The girl quickly got up and opened the door, “Thank you.”

He rushed in and began to search the crowded premises.

“Dorian, I knew it!”

Dorian quickly grabbed Brithney hand from striking at me, “How dare you D?”

I noticed Ariana was standing at the back along with Dimitri. Josh instantly gripped Maya hand preventing her from leaving his site. The room was filled with students looking at the disruption.

He gripped her shoulders and yelled, “Are you mad?”

She pulled away and shouted, “Everyone, Katie here.” she pointed at me and harshly uttered, “Is pregnant for Dorian, my boyfriend.”

She clapped aloud and stared at us.

“Stop it.”

There I realized I had made the worst mistake by coming here tonight. The situation was beyond my control and I stood there not sure how to defend myself from the mean girls. Shelly and Jessica came at the scene and started to throw shade.

“I knew she was a whore.” she said and gripped Brithney shoulder.

There were four girls standing against me including my once closest friend. My eyes noticed Caspian making his way through the crowd, I felt shamed knowing that he heard only false allegations about me.

“You want her D?” “Did you enjoyed that night.” she continued to make a scene, “You can’t deny it cause I caught you.”

“Yes.” “That’s what you want to hear.”

Caspian’s eyes became blood red, he was enraged by what was taking place. He clenched his fist as if he was ready to punch something or someone.
