MELANIES POV

I was sitting down on the end of my bed, swinging my feet.

I was thinking if I should go to the party or not but the thing is I don't know where it is, what time it's at and what day it's happening.

I have too much anxiety to ask people. I just thought Tom would take me.

I guess.. not.

I sigh. I look around my room. My walls are baby pink. I remember the day I painted my walls, I don't think my dad was too happy. Don't know why it's my own room!

I walk to my wardrobe. I look through my clothes. I squat down, I smile. I pull out a medium sized box. Moving the box aside, I kneel down sitting back on my heels.

I open the box. It's full of all my 'old' clothes I used to wear before Tom. I miss wearing these clothes.

I look through my clothes. Lots of light colours. Now, all the clothes I wear are just.. plain. Not meant for me.

I slide back to my wardrobe, looking at all my 'old' shoes. I sigh remembering how I used to dress.

I hear my phone buzz. That's odd now one ever texts me except.. Tom! I smile brightly.

I turn my head, quickly standing up. I run over to my phone. I reply to Toms message.

Tom

                                                                                   Me
                                                                               Okayy

I turned my phone off happily. I run back to my wardrobe. I pick up the box and stuff it back into my wardrobe.

I stand up straight. I quickly rummage through my clothes. I wanted to look super nice for Tom tonight.

The time was currently 4:21 so I had a lot of time but I needed to look perfect.

I find this plain, white, crop top that showed my cleavage. It was good enough I suppose. I pick out a greyish green skirt with a brown belt. Now a bag.

Mm a plain, black, mini purse bag will do. I got changed. I have some heels downstairs so I'll put them in later. For makeup, maybe just some foundation, concealer, eyeliner, highlighter, blush, lipgloss and a smokey eye? Sure.

Once I finished doing my makeup I needed to do my hair. I'll just leave it wavy a bit.

I put on some deodorant and perfume.

I feel like I'm missing something. What am I missing? I squint my eyes trying to think of what I could be possibly missing. Oh yeah, jewellery!

I put on a necklace, hooped earrings and a belly button ring. Last year I decided to pierce my belly button because I thought it would look nice and it does.

I walk to the bathroom. Just to have a look in the mirror. I was a bit disappointed, not because the outfit didn't look good, but because it just wasn't me.

I take a deep breathe in and out. I put a smile on my face. I go back to my room.

I look at the time. God it's 8:54, did it really take me that long?

I put my keys, phone and deodorant in my bag. I walk down stairs.

I put my heels on that I had left down here. I glanced at my dad. That man can sleep forever. I'm not complaining though. I'd rather him be asleep than awake.

I walk out the house and lock the door. I make my way to Toms house.

-

I knock on his door. The time was exactly 9:15. My feet hurt from walking in these heels. To be honest I just wanted to sit on his couch and take them off.

It was cold and for some reason I forgot to bring a jacket or coat. I'm hugging myself to try to keep warm, which isn't really doing anything.

Eventually the door opened but it wasn't Tom it was Bill. I gave him a smile. He smiled back and let me in.

I sat in their couch and took my heels off. Bill sat next to me.

"Waiting for Tom?" He asked. I nod shyly. His brother was nice. "He'll be down in a minute.. I think" he says. I laugh a little.

Me and Bill just sat there.. awkwardly. I think it was because we didn't know each other that well.

There was a knock at the door. Bill got up and answered it. "Hey" someone says, "hey" Bill responded with a smile.

Two boys walked in.

Oh I know who these are. It's Georg and Gustav. Toms friends. I didn't know if they were nice or not. I've only ever seen them around ever to often.

They stare at me for a minute, confused. Can Tom please hurry up. I'm begging.

Bill closed the door. "I'm gonna get Tom" he says. Bill ran up the stairs.

I sit there looking anywhere but at Georg and Gustav.

Finally, Tom and Bill came back down.

Tom walked up to me. "Come on" he says. I nod and stand up, putting on my heels.

We walk out and get into his car. I see Bill, George and Gustav walk out the house and head to Georgs car, I think.

Bill locks the door and jogs to the car.

Tom turns the engine on. I take a deep breathe.

"What took you so long?" I ask him quietly. He looks at me confused. "Oh I was trying to find the right hat" he shrugs. I laugh.

Tom begins to drive.

I look out the window. So far Tom hasn't said anything about my outfit or if I look nice. I sigh, disappointed.

I only did all this for him.

-

We arrive at Tiffany's house. I see a lot of people.

People were screaming, yelling, laughing, talking. We got out the car. The cold air hit. I just wanna go inside.

I see Tom walk into the party. I follow behind him.
