The Forgotten Luna

Chapter Six

Liz's POV

    I smiled as I looked in the mirror. I straightened my hair and did a Smokey brown eye makeup with red lipstick. I looked like my mom. If only she could be here.  She should be here helping me get ready but she was gone. I sighed and walked downstairs with Kate. My dad's eyes filled with tears as he smiled wide.

    "You girls look beautiful" He said hugging me. "You look just like your mother when I met her." I smiled and nodded. Dad had hires a photographer to take pictures of me and my friends. Nikki opted to meet us at the venue so we couldn't take pictures with her. For some reason Tyler wasn't answering his phone, he was supposed to meet me at my house to take pictures. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. We were so over. 

    Once we arrived at the venue we had dinner. I frowned because Tyler was no were in sight. Neither was Tony. Or that stupid little b***h Hanna either. I sighed and shook my head. Why was I so jealous of any girl that got near Tony? I should be freaking out more over Tyler. After they cleared the plates I excused myself. I decided to go to the bathroom to fix my makeup and hair, throwing in a few mints in my mouth. As I was walking out I heard moans coming from the janitors closet. I shook my head. I couldn't believe the nerve of high school students. Getting it on in the closet. Can't people wait or at least rent a hotel room? I was about to walk back to the table when I heard the two people talk.

    "Ty please, can't you just break up with that b***h already? You know she doesn't give you what I have been for the last few months." I hard Valerie say seductively. I froze and felt my heart drop. 

    "Val I already told you, I need to keep dating Liz my parents really like her. I date a good girl that they approve of and I get to have whatever I want. Besides that Tony guy wants her and I'm not letting him have her. He already took my title as captain on the team. Besides you don't mind sharing right? You know I don't even like her." I heard him say as he kept on kissing her. I saw black. I didn't even know what I was doing until I realized that I had barged into the closet. finding Tyler's pants on the floor and Valerie's dress pulled up. I garbed him by the shirt and punched him as hard as I could in the face. 

    "You f*****g b***h!" I heard Valerie say. I turned and looked at her.

    " Don't f*****g talk to me. You're lucky that I want to enjoy my night tonight. But go ahead and have my left overs." I chuckled and looked at Tyler who looked like he wanted to cry. " Because Tyler we are so over."

    "Liz no please baby give me another chance." He began to beg as I shook my head. 

    "Don't f*****g look for me or talk to me Tyler. Go f**k your little w***e over there. I have better things to do. I'm so over you. " I said walking away. I don't know why but tears threatened to spill from my eyes. I couldn't do this, I'm not as strong as I thought. I know my feelings for Tyler were almost non existing but the betrayal hurt my feelings. I walked up to my table and Kate noticed something was wrong

    "Hey they're about to announce the prom queen what's wrong?" She said. I shook my head and started to grab my things.

    "We'll talk later. I just want to leave." I said 

    "And the prom queen is Elizabeth Brown!" I heard my name be called  as they shined the light on me. f**k! I thought to myself. I put on the best smile I could master and slowly walked to the stage. I was now praying that Tyler wouldn't win. I couldn't stand to look at him. I'm also sure that they'd notice his black eye and trace it back to me. I sighed and thanked the people crowning me. Before I knew it They were calling for the Prom king. I couldn't believe it as I saw Tony step up on stage next to me. He was wearing a black tailored tux with a red bow tie.

    "Now if we all can make room for our king and queen so they can have their dance!" I bit my lip as Tony held his hand out for me. I took his hand and instantly felt better. I felt the sparks once our hands touched. Tony led us to the middle of the dance floor and he pulled me close to him. My breath hitched. I don't know what it was but I couldn't bring myself to look at him. 

    "Can I just say. And please don't get mad at me. But you look beautiful." Tony whispered in my ear. I smiled and looked up at him. He frowned once he looked at me. "Liz what's wrong? Have you been crying?"

    "Uh um. No?" I replied. 

    "You're a terrible lair." He said. I sighed and shook my head as I laid my head on him. I noticed that he moved perfectly to the music.

    "I didn't take you for being a good dancer" I said to him. He grinned and looked down on me.

    "I have a lot of surprises Liz." I giggled and shook my head."

    "So tell me, what happened to your hand?" He asked as he noticed my bruised hand. I sighed and looked at him.

       "I might have punched Tyler when I found him having s*x with Valerie in the janitors closet." I said. I noticed Tony stiffen up as he looked at me, his jaw clenched and I could tell he was furious.

     "You don't deserve that Liz, if I was him I'd never lay eyes on any other girl. I'd only have eyes for you." 

    "Thank you Tony, I know I just I was so blinded by him. I just- I just want to have fun and ignore this. I also want to apologized. I'm sorry I stopped talking to you for trying to kiss me. You just uh scare me" I confessed. " And I had a boyfriend and I thought that you thought that I was one of those girls that didn't respect herself. And cheated."  He chuckled and shook his head. 

    "I can't believe you think that of me"

    "Hey to be fair I've only known your for a month" I said.

    "Liz I don't think that low of you. I actually think very highly of you. I tried to kiss you because I couldn't help myself. I know I stepped on some boundaries and I'm sorry about that. I wasn't thinking either. You're just so breathtaking all I knew in that moment was that I wanted to be close to you and kiss you." He whispered in my ear. I was left speechless. No one has ever said such sweet things to me. I couldn't help but smile. The song stopped and they started playing different music. I pulled away from Tony.

    "I'm going to get going" I said. He frowned and shook his head.

    "No Liz, please wait." He said. 

    "I don't even have a date to dance with and honestly I wish to be drinking right now. I deserve it." I said.

    "Hmm? I can be  your new date...As friends I promise" he offered. I smiled " What do you say? Friends?" He asked extending a hand to me. I smiled and nodded.

    "Friends" I said and took his hand. He lead me back into the dance floor showing me his incredible moves as I laughed. 

    "Oh and about the drinking part, I have a flask if you're interested" He said as I got a mischievous smile on my face.

    "Oh Mr. Torres, you came prepared." I said as we snuck outside into his car. I took a big swing of the flask and made a face.

    "Eww what is this?" I asked.

    "Whiskey, I stole it from my dad" He said as I handed him the flask. He shook his head." No ma'am I'm driving have your fun."

    "I can't go home if I drink though. My dad will kill me.

    "Well if you want you can come over to my house. We're throwing an after party. It's more of a get together. Nikki will be there and so will Kate. She's sleeping over. You're more than welcome to come." I smiled and nodded. I usually don't trust men and alcohol. but I knew that Tony wouldn't hurt me. I don't know what it was but I felt safe with him.
