Last breath

Chapter 9

This was the day. I woke up at 7 am just to get ready. I couldn't let Miles down with looking bad and ugly.

It was his prom day and I was his prom. I knew it only started at seven but I was too excited. I wasn't able to sleep that night.

I got a pretty, baby blue dress. It had a corset kind off top, with white ribbon going through it at the front to tie it.

I went for an everything shower. Girls you probably know what I mean. 

It was 9 after the time I showered and ate something. I started blow drying my hair and decided that I am going to curl it. 

It was thirty past ten when I finished curling it. Mom made us some tea so I went and drank some with her. We were gossiping for over two hours. 

I missed our daily gossip session while drinking tea. It was fun knowing about my moms 'dramatic events' at her work.

It was one pm when I went into my room again. It ended up being a three hour session.

I through myself on the bed and started flicking through my phone because I still had some time left to get ready.

I have talked to Lewis over the phone but he didn't want to hang up when I had to start getting ready at four so we were talking while I was sitting at my vanity putting some makeup on.

I didn't want to put a lot on because I didn't like to feel the heaviness of the makeup on my face.

I put a simple eye shadow on. It was a nice baby blue color in the corner and it was blended out with a shimmer white color. 

I made my brows, put some concealer on, some blush, highlighter and topped the look with mascara. It was past five when I started to look for my dress.

-"You look so pretty"- Lewis complemented me when I showed him my makeup look.

-"Thank you"- I smiled.

-"I wish I could be at your house looking at you while you do that"- he laughed.

-"Ye, it would be nice having company right now"- I giggled.

I took the dress and started ironing it. 

When I put it on I just needed some jewelry. I took some silver earrings with pears and pastel blue details.

I put a matching bracelet and necklace on. 

I just needed shoes. I borrowed my mom's silver heels and the look was complete.

-"You are stunning, Val"- Lewis couldn't believe his eyes.

-"Thanks, it's because I put makeup on and dressed nice"- I replied.

-"Hell nah. You always look stunning"

I looked at him.

-"Thanks"- I smiled.

I heard a knock on my door and my mom opened it saying that Miles is here.

-"I have to go. Miles is here"- I told Lewis.

-"Bye bye stunner"- he laughed. 

As I was putting down my phone I heard another knock on my door. 

-"I'm coming Mom!"- I yelled.

-"Relax"- I heard Miles laugh, -"It's only me".

I turned around and blinked a lot of times to make sure what I am seeing is real and that I am not hallucinating.

There was Miles looking as fine as ever with his hair nice and elegant but messy at the same time, his eyes as blue as ever, and him wearing a black suit just killed me.

-"You look amazing Val!"- his eyes widened.

I thanked him and hugged him.

He gave me another bouquet of flowers and off we went.

The prom was starting at seven and we had to be there at before five to.

We arrived just on time at the school hall. There I met Kyle and Phillip and I even saw Diego standing in the corner with a gorgeous girl.

Everyone complemented us and when the prom king and queen was announced I was shocked that it was me and Miles.

I loved that night and especially that time where me and Miles had to start the dance together.

-"Nervous?"- he asked me.

-"Kinda"- I replied.

-"You look amazing so no need"- he laughed.

-"Don't forget you look amazing too".

He laughed again and we started dancing. Everyone cheered us on.

-"Val, I have to tell you something"-he started talking.

-"Right now?"- I asked confused.

-"Yeah, Your the prettiest and the kindest person I have ever met"- he said nervously.

-"Thank you Miles, but you know that could have waited"- I laughed while he spun me around.

-"No Val! You drive me crazy! I like you! God I love you!"- he said.

I couldn't think straight. My heart was racing. 

-"May I?"- he asked and I just nodded in response.

And that's when my lips touched his for the first time. We stopped dancing and we just kissed there in the middle of the hall while everyone starting cheering again. We both smiled and ran out of the hall.

It was really cold outside but we didn't mind it. We started kissing again. I could feel the hairs on my arms stand up and my heart beat faster. Then my head started turning so I pushed back to catch a breath.

I took Miles by the arm. He turned to me with concern on his face.

-"Val, are you ok?"

I shook my head and collapsed into his arms. 

Once again I let the dark eat me up and I could only let out my... Last breath.
