Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 6

Scandal.

Days passed and now it's the day of the grand Prom for Senior High Students. They were all excited and some of the students wear their long gowns, cocktail dresses, and ball gowns. They spent a lot of money on their beautiful gowns and makeup.

"Lucy! so gorgeous!!!" her sister complimented. She was wearing a lavender cocktail dress paired with her messy bun hair.

"Thank you!!" she replied to her sister's compliment.

"Leo will love you more! and I'm sure he'll never let you leave his side. Especially when you were wearing that kind of dress, too short and the cleavage is very showy.." her sister uttered and laugh. She knew about that, she knew it would happen and it's nothing to her. She likes being with Leo's side, but too much love makes other people unloved someone. So they gotta change that love into forever, forever that won't last everlasting love. She keeps smiling when she went down the stairs. Leo will pick her up at their house, so she dresses uniquely and wears simple makeup. Light blush and simple lipstick, not so dark nor light. She went outside to their house when she heard a car noise then she saw Leo walking towards her and stop for a moment. Leo took a fast survey at her body from up to down.

"beautiful but too much showy..still don't like it." he pouted.

"What!?... it's beautiful and it's not too showy..." she uttered and Leo swallows her head sign of surrender. Leo helps her to went into his car and carefully held her wrest so she could balance her body. In the middle of their ride, Leo suddenly stops the car in the middle of cost beach. He looks at Lucia's face full of love and admiration.

LUCIA'S POV

I was shocked when Leo stop the car at the cost. I don't know what to say but he suddenly unclasped his seatbelt and took something in his pocket. Then I saw a red velvet box. At first, I thought it was a necklace box but when Leo went out of the car and face me while slowly kneeling in front of me. I was speechless at that time because I don't know what is he doing. Then he smiled and said

"Marry me, Lucia Hermosa Diaz...Marry me when the right time came for us." He suddenly uttered in front of me.

"Yes! yes..yes..yes.." I shouted and went out of the car to hug and kissed him. He kissed me back smoothly while caressing my face. Small teardrops suddenly fall slowly in my face. Leo wiped those tears and kissed my eyes gently.

This was the time I wanted to be with. This time only...

"Lucy! you're so beautiful!!!" my best friend complimented when she went out in the car.

"I'll gonna park the car so you two can talk." Leo said and went inside his car. Keanna and I talk while they're walking inside the venue.

"You're more beautiful keanna." I complimented her and smile at her. She then smiled back at me while we're entering the venue.

NARRATE POVS

When they're finally inside the venue, Leo held her wrest and walk together. Students were looking at them, both of them shine genuine tonight. No wonder they will be the crown princess and royal prince tonight. George can't stop admiring Lucia, she's too perfect and beautiful. If Lucia wasn't in a relationship he probably courted her, but sadly Leon owns her already. He knew Leo won't let someone get her girl away from him. In a far table, Dalias eyes were looking at Lucia's body. She knew that on this night the girl she hated will fall and will beg for her mercy but of course she won't give it. She had a wave of hard anger for Lucia, that's why she'll do everything just to destroy her and their relationship. After that, she can be with Leo, forever... A few minutes and the event started.

The Emcee announces that everyone can dance with their partners. To have moments with them for the last time. A handsome vocalist Anthon starts singing the perfect song for the dance night.

* Take my hand, take a breath

Pull me close and take one step

Keep your eyes locked on mine

And let the music be your guide

Won't you promise me?

(Now won't you promise me

That you'll never forget)

We'll keep dancing

(To keep dancing)

Wherever we go next

It's like catching lightning

The chances of finding someone like you

It's one in a million

The chances of feeling the way we do

And with every step together

We just keep on getting better

So can I have this dance

(Can I have this dance)

Can I have this dance *

The vocalist starts to sing and every one of them was reaching their partners and starts to dance. Slowly while keep feeling the music. She's with George and they are dancing slowly. She can't look at George's face because she feels awkward. Lucia stayed being calm and start finding Leo where they're headed. George tried to held her chin but she refuses and step backward to give some space.

"What are you doing?" she asks in a slow voice, she can't handle it, George is keeping her uncomfortable.

"Nothing, you're beautiful...and I can't just believe you give up everything tho him. Your b---.." He stop when he realized what he was about to say, George, look away, and end their dance. He leads Lucia to her table before he went to his table. Students didn't notice it because all of them were busy dancing. She was confused about George's words, she doesn't understand what he meant to say to her.

Instead of letting herself confuse, she walks towards Leo and asks if she can dance with him. Luckily Leos's partner is done dancing with him so the girl lets them dance together.

Take my hand, I'll take the lead

And every turn will be safe with me

Don't be afraid, afraid to fall

You know I'll catch you threw it all

And you can't keep us apart

(Even a thousand miles,

Can't keep us apart)

'Cause my heart is

(Cause my heart is)

Wherever you are

It's like catching lightning

The chances of finding someone like you

It's one in a million

The chances of feeling the way we do

And with every step together

We just keep on getting better

So can I have this dance?

(Can I have this dance)

Can I have this dance?

Oh no mountains too high enough

Oceans too wide

'Cause together or not

Our dance won't stop

Let it rain, let it pour

What we have is worth fighting for

You know I believe

That we were meant to be

"Are you okay?" Leo asks in the middle of their dance, she refused to answer so she nodded to assure Leo that nothing is wrong.

"I just loved being with your side always," she answered.

"I love you," Leo said in her ears, she giggles because of the impact of Leo's voice on her body.

"I love you too," she answers in a very husky voice. Leo held her chin and kissed her passionately and genuinely. She kissed back and let everyone see they were kissing each other.

"Wow..what a sweet scene." Dalia cheers while clapping her hands. They stop kissing and look at Dalias face full of questions.

"Oh? what's wrong? were my cheerful words bothered you two?" she said in an irritating voice.

"Dalia!, what is this!? you're ruining their dance.!" Keanna shouted full of anger.

"Ruining? Me? ruining their dance? of course not!" Dalia shouted to Keannas face.

"Everyone! I have a very beautiful and wonderful gift for Lucia Hermosa Diaz! y'all gonna like it!.." Dalia, she shouted and laugh like a demon. The students start to sit down and focus on the video cliff who's now starting to show. When the show was almost done, students were starting to have their judgments.

"yuck!?"

"what the fuck!"

"She did that! for love!?"

"What shit!"

"damn! she's good in bed Leo!"

"Idiot! they were in the sand! not in bed!"

"Woah! that's was amazing!"

Some students shouted and start to talk dirty because of what they just saw. She runs towards Dalia and held her hair and slapped her full of anger.

"You bitch! you fucking whore!" Lucia shouted while pulling Dalias hair "How dare you! how dare you!" Lucia said and continue slapping Dalia. She was about to throw Dalia at the table when Leo grabbed her hand and pushed her away. She was shocked because of Leo's shout. Leo pushed her and she was thrown at the chair, she can't cry...she can't say any words..she can't say any fucking!! words to Leo and Dalia!.

"Le-o-o." she slowly uttered full of confusing eyes. Leo looks at her with no emotions then he continued helping Dalia to stand up.

"That scandal proves that you're desperate with my love. You're not my first and you will never be my love," Leo told her those heartbreaking words in a cold way.. then turn his back at her and walk away while helping Dalia to walk slowly away from the venue.

"Lucy!" her best friend run towards her and hug her tightly, she cries harder and felt pain in her heart. She can't believe what just happened. She can't believe Leo dumped her! put her a big mess!...she wants to slap Leo but she can't stand in that time she's too weak.

"Lucy it's okay...I'm here Lucy...I'm here.." Keanna helps her to stand and went outside in the venue. She helps Lucy went home and tried to calm her but Lucy was too hurt.

In a long way drive George was the one who helped them went home. Keanna refuses but George insists to help. Because of her best friend's condition, she had no choice, she then accepts it.

"Leo will pay for this...He will." Keanna uttered while holding Lucy's hands.

"I'm so sorry king, I'm sorry Lucia," George said in a small voice. He knew Keanna heard it but refuses to reply.

"Oh my gosh! Keanna what happened!?" Lourie shouted because of shock. She was out of words when she saw her sister crying so hard and too weak.

"Leo!? what did he do!?" Lourie asks full of anger but Keanna can't answer her because she's too afraid "Keanna! answer me!" she shouted to Keanna's face before she held Lucia in the wrest and tried to help her go upstairs. "Lucy? Lucy...Lourie is here..I'm here.. don't cry." Lourie emotionally tried to stop Lucia from crying.

"I can't believe he let someone t-ake a v-ideo. W-e we-re make love," she said while crying, she can't speak fully because of her loud cries.

"What!? he let someone make fun of that!? You two did what!??" Lourie shouted but no one dared to answer her questions. Lucia cried more because of the pain.

"I'll delete that scandal where is it came from?!" she fully shouted with a lot of anger. After Lourie's shout, Lucia's eyesight became blurry and she already felt tired in her body. She didn't even felt that she was slowly falling asleep because of her tears. Tears keep falling from her precious and lonely eyes.
