Today was the day of the dance. And I am freaking out. I was currently staring at the mirror in nothing but my underwear. I bit my lips in nervousness. This is my first time ever going to a school dance since elementary school. But those were kid parties and this is the first teenage dance EVER. And I'm totally freaking out about it. 

Someone knocks on my door and walks in. 

Daddy looks at me with concern as he sees my puffy red eyes. "Willow, baby are you okay?" He asked. 

I sniffle and wipe my eyes. "Yeah, I'm just nervous," I mumble. He walks over to me and smiles. "Don't worry about it, baby," He said running his hand through my hair. "Daire and Levi are gonna be there with you. And fingers crossed that, what happened at that party a few weeks ago won't happen tonight." 

I smile at him even though he did nothing to help me calm down. 

"Okay, Willy, get dressed you have 3 hours before you leave," He kissed the top of my head before leaving. 

I sigh again and sit on the bed. 

I had to get over my fear. I don't even know why I was nervous. I knew nothing was gonna happen with all the teachers around. And I knew Lonnie wouldn't mess up her perfect record for anything. She is trying to get into a fashion school in France. That's what I heard. Anyways I had to get over my fear and just have fun. Nothing will happen to me. 

I breathe in and take the dress off my bed and get dressed.

Once I finish I take a good look in the mirror and grin at my appearance. 

I run my hand through my tangled hair. I bite my lip as I look around the room. I smile when I see my hair straightener in my pink easter bucket where I keep random things. I pick up the black hair straighter and examine it. I honestly forgot how to use the thing. My hair was normally naturally straight so I never really had to use the thing. And when my hair was tangled I normally just brush it out or put it in a ponytail or bun. But I knew Levi knew how to use this thing. 

I pick up my dress and walk over to my pink door. I crack it open and poke my head out. "Levi," I whispered yelled. I wait for a few seconds before calling again. "Levi can you please come here, please." 

Levi walks out of his room with a raised eyebrow. "What?" He asked. I gesture for him to come over. He rolls his eyes but walks over here. "What, Willow?" He asked. I grab his wrist and yank inside the room before shutting the door quickly. 

He looks me over with a smile. "You look good, Will," He said. I blush and pull on the dress. "Thank you, you look nice too," I said looking him over. 

He wore a white button-down shirt, a black vest, black pants, and very nice black dress shoes. His wavy brown hair was neatly combed back. He looked very fancy in his clothes. 

"Thank you, Will, now what do you need help with?" He asked sitting on my bed. 

I hold up my hair straightener and pout my lips. "I don't know how to use this," I said. He looks at the straightener and back at me with a raised eyebrow. "Really?" I nod my head and look down at the floor. He sighs and takes the straightener from my hands. "Your lucky I'm really good at doing hair." He mumbles as he guides me to my bed. 

After 10 minutes e finally steps back from me and smiles. "Perfect," He said taking my hand and pulling me to my feet. He walks me over to my mirror and makes me look. I look and smile at how pretty Levi had done my hair. It was straightened and shiny, he even somehow managed to put curls at the end. 

I turn to face Levi and wrap my arms around him. "Thank you, Levi," I said squeezing his torso. 

"You welcome, Will, now we only got about 2 hours until we leave." He kisses my forehead before opening my door and leaving.

I look over at my dolls and smile at them. 

"First school dance, ladies," I said running my hand through one of their hair. "This is something we dreamed of since middle school." I then pick up my dress and smile at it. "And look at my dress. First school dance in the most beautiful dress." 

After a bit, someone knocks on my door and walks in. "Baby, come on everyone wants to see your dress," Daddy said with his hands over his eyes. I giggle at his tactic. "Ok, daddy, I'll be there in a bit." Daddy nods his head before leaving the room. 

I take one last look in the mirror and take a deep breath in. I grab my dress and leave the room. 

I hear a lot of men chattering in the living room or kitchen I couldn't tell. I enter the living room and see all the men in the house talking and laughing in the kitchen drinking beers. I clear my throat to make my presence known. Everyone goes quiet and turns to me. Their eyes widen in shock. 

For a good 5 minutes, they all just stare at me. My face turned redder with each passing moment. "Are you gonna say something?" I asked biting my lip.

Daddy clears his throat and walks over to me. "You look so beautiful Willow," He said placing his cold hands on my shoulders. I grin at his compliment. "Thank you, daddy," I said. He smiles before kissing my temple and moving away. Carter then walks over to me and whistles. "Look at you," He walks around expecting the dress. "No make-up?" He asked tilting my chin. I shake my head in response. "I don't own any make-up but blush," I said biting my lip. He nods. "Well you don't need it, Will, you got that natural beauty like momma." I smile at his words. "Thank you, Carter," I mumble. He smiles at me before walking away beside daddy. "You look nice, Willow," Uncle Steph said from the kitchen. I blush at his compliment before my eyes met a pair of hooded blue ones.

My breath hinges when I look over Daire. He looked amazing.

I pick up my dress and walk over to him. Once I was right in front of him I smelt the cologne that belonged to my brother. I also smelt a hint of cigarette. But I couldn't help but smile at him. "You look very nice Daire," I said playing with the rings on his fingers. "You look even better, Bud," He whispers into my ear. I blush and look down at my bare feet. 

My eyes widen. I turn around to daddy and lift my dress up to show my feet. "Daddy, I don't have any shoes to go with this dress," I said in a panicked voice. Daddy chuckles and leaves the room. I looked at his retreating form with a confused expression. I look back at my brothers asking for answers. But they only smirk at me and shrug their shoulders. I sigh and rub my hand over my face. 

Daddy comes back a few minutes later with a white shoebox in his hands. "I bought these for you not too long ago." He said opening the box. What was inside made me gasp. There sat a pair of silver glittery heels, with gem butterflies decorating the straps. I almost never wore heels. The only heels I owned were some old nude color heels that I wore like four times before. 

"They are so beautiful," I said taking one of the heels out of its box. I take a closer look at them and smile broadly at daddy. "Thank you so much," I said wrapping my arms around his waist. He chuckles as he wraps his arms around my shoulders. "You welcome, Willow," He kisses my forehead before pulling back. 

Daire walks over to me and takes my hand and walks me over to the couch. He sits me down and bends down in front of me. He takes the shoes from my hands and places them on my feet. I can't help but blush at his actions. He then stands up and sits next to me. He then pulls out a black box and hands it to me. "I have to pay Jeremiah back for it, but it was worth it." He mumbles and I notice the tip of his ears turn red.

He opens the box to reveal a bracelet and once again I gasp. 

"Oh, Darry, this looks really expensive," I said picking the bracelet up. He shrugs his shoulders. "Just about 4 thousand dollars, but I promise it's not a big deal." My eyes widen in shock. I shake my head and place the bracelet back in the box. "Tell Jeremiah I said thank you, but I can't take this," I said pushing the box back to him. He smirks at me as he forces the bracelet on my wrist. "I want you to have it, Baby," He said. 

I look at the beautiful bracelet and smile at Daire. 

He leans in and kisses my lips. I smile when he pulls back and face my brothers.

"Let's take some pictures," Carter said pulling me to my feet. I stumbled a bit since I was in heels. I was still shorter than Carter even if I was wearing heels. He laughs and pulls me outside. He puts me in front of the house and started taking my pictures. 

After about 50 or more pictures I was getting tired. "Okay, okay, Carter that's enough," I said picking up my dress and walking back inside the house. 

Daire sat on the couch with his chin in his hands. I walk in front of him and grab his hand. "Come on we don't wanna be late," I said pulling him to his feet. He smiles at me and wraps his arms around my waist. We walk outside and towards Carter's car. Levi was behind us with a large smile on his face. 

We get in the car and drive towards Justina's home. 

Justina rushed out of the house with her blue heel in her hands. She wore a short royal blue satin dress with strings. Her short blonde hair was curled and her face was caked with make-up. She was stumbling over to the car as she laughs. She opens the front passenger door where Daire was seated. 

"Get the fuck out," She said stomping her foot at Daire. 

"Come on man," Levi said pushing Daire's shoulder slightly. 

Daire rolls his eyes and unbuckled his seatbelt. He gets out of the car and purposely bumps his shoulder into hers. She gasps and looks at Levi with wide eyes. "Babe," She whined as she got inside the car. 

Daire opens the back door and moves my dress over a bit. He gets in and smirks at me. I grin back and he kisses my lips. 

We drive a good 10 minutes before the school comes into view. The school ad wild colorful lights. And loud booming music could be heard from a mile away. Formally dressed kids were standing around the school smoking and drinking drinks that probably weren't allowed inside the school. 

Levi parks the car and Justina instantly jumps out and runs toward the crowd. Levi turns the car off and looks back at me and Daire. "Okay, we're leaving at 11 on the dock no matter what. Don't take any type of alcoholic drink from anybody, Willow. Be careful tonight Willow, okay," He said. I nod my head and reach over Daire to open the door. 

Daire gets out and takes my hand. He helps me and kisses my cheek. I blush and we begin walking toward the school. 

Once we're inside the blasting school I cover my ears. "Come on baby, let's get something to drink," He said pulling me towards the table. He sits me down in one of the metal black chairs before walking away. 

I sit there smiling at the crazy kids as they have fun. I laugh as one kid fall flat on his butt. 

"Hey, Willow," Somone said from behind me. 

I turn to see who it was and my eyes widen. "Louis?" I said looking at him confused. He smirks at me and sits down in the seat next to me. "How you been?" He asked. I shrug my shoulders and bite my lip. "I've been fine," I said tucking some hair behind my ear. He nods and looks me over making me squirm. "You look amazing," He mumbles licking his lips. I look down as I fist my dress in my hands. "Thank you." 

He was about to say something when Daire came back with two red cups in his hands. I couldn't help but sigh in relief. But when I look at his face I could tell he was angry. I knew exactly why.

"What are you doing with my girlfriend," Daire said. 

Louis looks between me and Daire with widen eyes. "You guys are together?" He asked looking at me. I bite my lip and nod. "Yeah," I say in a low voice. I look back at Daire who was squeezing the cups making the juice flow out. I gathered my dress and moved it away from the spilling juice.

Louis glares at Daire before standing up and walking away. 

Daire looks down at his hands and his eyes widen at the mess he made like it was the first time noticing his actions. "Shit," He says under his breath. "I'm sorry, Willow," He said walking over to the trashcan and throwing the crushed cups away. He grabs some napkins and wipes his hands. "I didn't even realize what I was doing." 

I smile at him and place my hand on his bicep. 

"Wanna dance?" I asked looking up at him. He looks down at me and his eyes soften. "Yeah sure," He said grabbing my hand and pulling me to the center of the room. He wraps his arm around my waist and takes my hand in his. We dance and laugh as we stumble over each over. He spins me around. I couldn't help but giggle. I wrap my arms around his waist and rock side to side as I look at him with a huge smile on my face. "You look so beautiful," He whispers in my ear. I blush and stand on my tippy toes to kiss his lips. He smirks at me and kisses my lips again even harder. He cups my cheeks and deepens the kiss. I moan into his mouth and pull back. I grin at him and he grins back. 

"The most beautiful girl in the world," He mumbles before kissing me again. 

I can't help but smile against his lips. "And you are the most beautiful boy in the world," I giggle before kissing his chin. He groans and hugs me tighter. He kisses me on the forehead and begins swaying side to side. 

"Let's get some lemonade I saw some earlier," He said grabbing my hands and taking me towards the table of drinks. 

I could only smile and nod.
