Prologue
ANNE P.O.V.
The loud thumping of the music went right in sync with my heart. It was running, running hard. Nobody including me knew where exactly was it heading. But I knew one thing, that Christopher was here with me. And he wasn't anywhere else. I was in his securing large arms which shielded me from the harm. We swayed with the music, it felt just right.
But I couldn't put the urge inside me down. The urge which told me that this perfect moment wasn't going to last for long. That something terrible was going to happen. Soon.
I looked up into his piercing green eyes. And I felt alright for that one moment. He smiled at me and kissed my forehead.
"Having fun?" he asked
"Um....not exactly" I lied "But I can survive"
"That's my girl" he chuckled and was interrupted when the mike went off giving way to a loud creak.
All the heads turned in the direction of the source. And, we could see the irritated principal of Francis High stand before us.
"A very good evening to you all. Welcome to the Prom night of 2009-2010. I'm hoping you all are having fun" he said as someone shouted a rude comment at him.
He ignored it and went on.
"As every year, today also we are going to announce the winners of the Prom night king and queen" he explained as everybody cheered.
"Yes, so the Prom king of 2009-2010 is........." he opened the envelope as every breathe in the room stopped.
"Christopher Wade!" he announced
Christopher looked down at me with a grin on his face. I was so damn positive of the fact that he was going to win. I didn't care if I won or not. But the thing was I was more than happy when he did. I smiled back at him as I said a "go!" and pushed him.
He strutted towards the stage and accepted the crown. Hah....it was really funny but he still looked really smart and hot like always.
The principal said a congrates to him and shook hands.
"And the winner of the Prom Queen is......" he smiled a fake smile.
"Anne D!"
Oh, no. I didn't expect this to happen. I thought Courtney was going to win, since well she was looking so damn flawless in her pink dress. Oh, God.
I slowly walked towards the stage and accepted the crown with all grace that I could manage before the humongous crowd. The principal shook hands with me too.
Christopher bent down and pecked me on the cheek. I eyed him since he did it in front of the whole school.
"What?" he looked at me all innocently "You deserved it Prom Queen" he emphasised on the words 'Prom Queen'
I just blushed a deep shade of red. Cameras started flashing in every direction which in turn blinded me.
"Let's get out?" I heard him say as I nodded.
He led me out of the hall. In no time were we out in the hallway. He took my hand in his. My hand had never felt clammy before whenever he held it, but tonight for some strange reason they were sweating badly. We walked into the giant reception of the hotel in which our Prom was being held.
"405 please" I heard Christopher say.
Oh My God! he had booked a room here. Oh, God.
"Why can't I book a room here?" he asked. I guess he noticed my expression.
I wasn't actually scared at the fact that he booked a room. I was scared at the thought what might happen in that room. No, I wasn't even a bit ready.
What if I just break down because of my hyperventilating so much. Calm down Anne. Calm down.
I took a deep breathe as Christopher's hand wound around mine again.
"It's gonna be okay" he whispered. Oh no.
Guess my thoughts had taken all the space in my mind, which made me unable to notice that we were standing before 405 now. Here we go. He opened the room by inserting the card in the slot and went in pulling me inside.
I crashed onto his chest. I took another deep breathe as his breathe sent shivers down my spine. He was breathing hard too.
Nothing much could be seen in the room. Only the lamp by the bed was on and it just partly illuminated the room.
Somewhere in the darkness his lips met mine and electricity surged between our bodies. It felt like the fire that was inside was beginning to light more fiercly inside me. It brought all kinds of disasters inside. A flood, an earthquake and a volcanic eruption.
He caressed my face lightly as I wound my hands around his arms. It's been 3 years of us dating but still every kiss that he gave me sent my soul to a different world. It felt kind of complete. I felt his tongue on my lips asking for permission to go in. I opened my mouth giving way to his tongue. It explored my mouth.
In the midst of all of it when my tongue touched his I felt something metallic. It was in a round shape. Guess even he noticed it because he pulled back the next second. His face was full of the best shade of red.
I advanced my hand to my mouth to spit out what exactly was in my it. The cool metal fell on my palm. And for a second the time stopped. It just immediately halted.
Because right there in my palm was a ring. It shimmered there in whatever light it was recieving. It was outrageously beautiful. But what shocked me the most was reason why it was here.
And I was answered the moment I laid my eyes on a kneeling Christopher, who extended his hand at me.
"Anne D." he smiled in the little light "Will you marry me?"
Oh My God. Oh, my God. I can't believe my ears. Is it really happening? Oh my god. Oh MY GOD!!!!!!
I felt my eyes open up wide as to what he just said. Is it a dream?
"No, it's not a dream" he said as if reading my mind.
"Yes!" I squeaked out. I was totally ready to spent my whole life with this amazing guy.
he stood up and wraped his arms around me.
"I love you" he said soflty in my ears.
"I love you too" I simpered
"I know it wasn't romantic." he said laughing a light laugh
I nodded "But you did it that's what matters."
He smiled yet again giving a peck on my lips.
"I'll keep you like this forever" he promised
We were in the car in another hour. Since well my mom set up a curfew, which by the way is not justice served. I hate it!
"I promised your mom too Anne." he exclaimed when I protested
"But--" I started
"No buts. You'll be free of these curfews once we graduate." he said clearly indicating at thing he just did. I mean the marrying him thing.
I can't even express my slightest thoughts about how I feel of marrying him. Christopher Wade has been my boyfriend since 9th grade. And I can't deny the fact that we are irrevocably and unconditionally in love with each other.
My chain of thoughts was interupted when I heard Christopher swear - "Shit"
The car skidded towards the right, and headed for the tree at the side of the road. Christopher lost control of the sterring wheel and it crashed into the tree with a loud bang.
I just remebered the uneasy feeling I was getting earlier. I looked at Chistopher from the corner of my eye ignoring the pain it made me go through. He was totally unconcious as blood trickled down the side of his face. His blond hair was one big of a nest of blood now.
"I love you Anne" I heard his last words as I was slowly dragged in to unconciousness....
