I woke up the next morning with the worst headache ever. I really didn’t drink that much but I was emotionally drained from the previous night’s drama. I wasn’t even going to start thinking about it again. I was tossing and turning all night thinking about what had happened. If this was how I felt, I couldn’t even imagine how Harry felt. I looked at the clock to see how late I had slept in.
3:00 pm.
That’s just great, I wasted most of my day by sleeping. This meant I would be up all night doing homework especially after I skipped studying last night to go out. I decided to start studying for my biology test. At 5:00, when I decided to take a break, a noise caught my attention. I went to sit on my window seat and opened my window to see Harry looking incredibly dashing in a black tux. Of course he was wearing his signature bowtie too. I couldn’t help but smile at how amazing he looked.
“So what do you think? Do I look alright?”
“You look perfect Harry, absolutely handsome.” I could feel my cheeks turning red so I looked down hoping that he wouldn’t notice.
“Thanks Jordyn. I know that I’m not going with a date from your school anymore but the rest of the boys convinced me to go with them anyways. Are you going tonight?” He had a hopeful tone to his voice and you could tell by his face that he really wanted me to go.
“I can’t, I have to make up for not studying last night and for sleeping all day.” His expression turned from hopeful into disappointed.
“Oh well I wish you were. It would be a lot more fun tonight with you there…” Unlike with Louis’s party, he didn’t try to push me into going to Prom. He began to gather his things and said goodbye before he left to meet the boys.
I was all alone in my room now and it was too quiet. I got off my bed and went to my closet to look at something that nobody but Cami had seen. Towards the very back hung an absolutely gorgeous gown. I bought it last month when I went with Cami to find a Prom dress. Niall asked her while doing a Twitcam and it was adorable! I was looking through racks of dresses when I came across a navy one-shouldered, sequin dress. I tried it on and it fit perfectly. This dress was the only thing that I had ever felt completely beautiful in. I decided to buy it just in case things had worked out with Harry and he felt the same way I did, but we all know how that turned out. Why had I never gotten the courage to tell him the truth? I walked out of my closet and sat back down on my bed to finishing studying when I heard my phone begin to ring. It was Cami.
“Hello?”
“Jordyn, where are you? Everyone else in the group is already here!”
“I’m not going Cami. I have to study and plus I don’t even have a date…” Not having a date has never stopped me before but this time it was different.
“Harry doesn’t have a date either but he still came with us! Why don’t you come and be his date?”
“Cami if he wanted me to be his date then he would’ve asked me when I talked to him earlier today.”
“But he does want you to Jordyn! At least I think that he does. He keeps mentioning how he would have a much better night if you had decided to come. This would be the perfect night to reveal the truth about how you feel to him! I know that he feels the same way! So put on that beautiful dress that you bought and get your butt over here!” I felt like Cami was going to keep asking until I gave in and decided to go. However, that wasn’t going to happen.
“Sorry Cami but I just can’t. Not after everything that happened last night. That was already too much for Harry to handle, I can’t put anymore stress on him.” She let out a sigh like she completely understood and agreed with what I just said.
“Alright, I’ll call you tomorrow. Okay?”
“Sounds good Cami. Have fun with Niall tonight!”
I hung up the phone and flung my head back onto my pillow. This was all just too much. I needed something to clear my mind. I grabbed the headphones off of my nightstand and plugged them into my iphone. I pressed the shuffle button and smiled at the first selection. Kiss Me… Maybe this was a sign? Maybe I should listen to Cami? What if Harry really did want me as his date? What if he really did feel the same way that I felt about him? There was only one way to find out.
I pulled the headphones out of my ears and threw them along with my phone onto my bed. I got up and rushed to get ready as fast as possible. I pulled half of my hair back and curled the rest. I did a light gray shadow with winged eyeliner and mascara on my eyes so I kept my lips simple with a clear gloss. I threw on my dress and shoes before taking a final look in the mirror. Everything looked perfect and exactly how I imagined I would look on Prom night. I glanced at the clock to see what time it was. Thank god they went to dinner before the dance. It was getting ready to begin and I would be right on time. I texted Cami as I walked down the stairs.
