Dark facade

Chapter...13

TIME TO TAKE OF THE f*****g MASKS!!!~ amira cloud

"Oh darling you look absolutely beautifu "

Oh mummy dearest why do you choose to pretend like you are pure. I thought silently.

My mother finished tying up the corset of my corpse bride outfit. I hadn't told my mother about the fight with Father. Not because I was scared off him but it was because she wouldn't believe me. It wasnt the first time anyway.

I tried to hide the forming  black and blue bruise on my face with lots of foundation. I matched my makeup with the theme of my outfit.

I used a dark blue and baby blue eyeshadow to contrast the greyish navy blue contour

"Can I be left alone for a bit" I clipped the rose necklace on.

"Of course sweetie, I'll be in the kitchen if you need me" she sashayed out the room leaving me time to plan how I was going to leave the dance.

The knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Hey" Scott's eyes went wide when he saw me in my dress.

"How come I didn't hear you?" I admired his suit.

"Your mum let me up" I grabbed his hand and sat him on the chair so I could do his makeup.

"You look really beautiful"

I would have been more ecstatic than usual I mean it was our last prom together, but alot was flowing through my mind.

"Thank you, I think you look quite dashing as well" I smiled softly.

I gave him a dark blue contour and dark circles to give him an undead look.

"What happened to your cheek" I quickly looked in the mirror and saw that my bruise was getting darker.

"Did someone hit you Ja-"

"I hope you kids wont be late for your prom"

My fathers voice vibrated uncomfortably down my spine. Almost on cue my bruise started to ache.

I pulled Scott past my father not even making eye contact with him. I could feel my hands getting sweaty so I let go off Scott's hand.

"You guys are already leaving?"my mother stood up quickly getting the infamous camera that has taken all my prom  and spring dances.

"Come on the last picture for you birdies to look at after you graduate." I mentally groaned but I put a fake smile.

When we finally made it into the car I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.

"What is happened last night Jane?" he asked looking at me sympathetically.

"Did your father hit you?"

I was battling whether I should tell him the truth or lie to him but the silence confirmed the truth.

I turned so I could face him. Some things in life you can't do on your own .

"Scott I have to tell you everything I've been keeping from you but you have to understand that you might get hurt."

"Together till the end right?" He squeezed my hand and in that moment I realized I dont always have to be alone.

On the drive to school I explained the videos, the storks project and how the dark hoodie guy is connected.

"That is alot to go over" Scott rubbed his temples. He parked his black mustang in its usual spot.

"I need to know what's in the last video Sco-" I paused when a cop knocked on my window.

I rolled the window down so I could face the cop. Who looked like he wanted to be any where else but a high school prom.

"Miss Johnson we have been advised by your father to keep watch."

FUCKKK!! I mentally screamed in my head.

"I dont think that's necessary sir" I tried to push him away, he was going to make this difficult for me.

"I'm sorry ma'am but orders are orders"

I looked at Scott and we were both feeling the same way. We walked into the Halloween themed room. There was a fog machine

I didn't realise how many cops were there once I looked around the hall.

What the hell was happening.

"Why are there so many cops tonight?" Scott whispered into my ear.

"I dont know but we have to figure out how to leave." I whispered back.

We took pictures and acted like we were actually here for the prom so we wouldn't look suspicious.

"Wanna dance?" Scott offered his arm .

We might as well enjoy the night. I smiled softly and took is offer.

We danced to Saturday nights by Khalid.

It felt amazing pretending that everything around you was normal. This is the life I wanted but did I want to live it with Scott or Theo.

We moved slowly to the beat. He twirled me around and dipped me. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders placing my head on his chest.

Although this was a bitter sweet moment it didn't feel real.

"Scott?" I whispered my head still on his chest.

"Yeah?" He whispered back.

"I dont want to say goodbye"

He held me closer and kissed my head.

"I know J, me neither"

Who knew breaking up with someone would feel this heart wrenching. I still had to be honest with my feelings.

"Thank you Jane" I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion.

"For what" I raised my chin so I could see his face.

"For showing me how to love someone"

A tear rolled down my cheek but he wiped it away gently. Our moment was interrupted by a stressed looking  detective Richards with her entourage of wayward cops.

"Miss Johnson you need to come with us Mr Dawson has escaped prison and a threat has been made upon your li-"

Without warning a bang was heard. The gym started to fill up with thick clouds of smoke.

I felt someone grab my arm and pull me away. At first I thought it was Scott until I heard him yell.

"Jane where are you!" It was Scott but from a distance.

I tried to fight off the assailant until I felt a prick in my arm. Oh f**k not this again.

"Scott!!" I tried to scream out but my mouth was covered with a cloth. The person dragged me away from the commotion.The drug kicked in really quickly I blacked out.

I tried opening my eyes but the harsh fluorescent lights stung. I groaned at the nial biting headache that stated to form.

I wanted to hold my head but my arms and legs where bound to a medical bed. I started to panic. I was in some sort of old hospital. The medical equipment was rusty.

It smelt damp like wet carpet or wet dog . The windows were broken and there was graffiti on the walls.

"Listen you sick prick, if you have a problem with my parents fight with them not me!" I screamed out.

I knew they were watching me somewhere in the shadows like a demon playing with his victim.

"Show your self you sick twisted-"

Never did I suspect it would be him but some how it made sense.

"Hello Jane"

There he was in a black tracksuits, Stephan,  that son of a b***h played me.
