Charlie's POV

I didn't think that the day of prom would be so hectic but it really was. The girls had come over at 10 and woke me up my plugging my nose, cutting off my breathing.

I sprung awake gasping for air. I looked around the room and instantly looked at the girls who stood in front of me with an innocent expression. My eyes narrowed.

"It's prom day bitch!" Laura said getting on my bed and jumping. I grabbed the pillow and groaned, shoving it over my head. I closed my eyes hoping to catch some more sleep but the pillow was ripped from my hands and I began to get hit with it.

My hands shut up to cover my face from the assault.

After the attack was done I sat up and glared at Victoria who looked at me with a huge smile.

"Get up! We have to start getting ready and we have to go get our nails done." Laura rambled grabbing my hand and started pulling me out of bed. I plopped on the ground with a loud thump. Victoria let out a small giggle.

Laura slowly dragged my half asleep body toward my closet. She reached in and dragged me into my closet. She let go on my hand and it landed on the ground with a thud. I just rolled over and shut my eyes trying to sleep again. It is way to early for me to even think about functioning.

Laura began tossing my clothes around my closet trying to find something for me to wear. Eventually she threw a pair of black jeans and a green hoodie at me.

"Get dressed. Our nail appointment is in 45 minutes." She said leaving and shutting the door behind her. I sighed and began getting dressed.

After being dressed I went into the bathroom and brush my teeth. I cringed looking at my hair in the mirror. It looked like a rats nest. I brushed out the knots and threw it up into a messy bun before making my way out to my friends.

*************************************

We pulled up to Nanny's Nails with just ten minutes to spare. We all got out of the car and piled into the small nail salon. The smell of nail polish and nail polish remover hit my like a ton of bricks.

Instantly the three of us were separated and taken to different nail stations. This small frail women led me over to a station in the corner.

I sat down and placed my hand in her out stretched one. I swear I saw her cringe. My nails were that bad. I hadn't done them in a while so they are very uneven.

As the lady worked on my nails she would say things in Chinese to the other workers. I swear they were talking about me since the lady kept glancing in my direction, but what would I know, I don't know Chinese.

The three of us had decided that we would get acrylic nails. I have never done that before so I decided my senior year prom would be the perfect first time. Victoria was the first one done, Laura followed, leaving me to be last.

When we got to the car we finally decided we would show off our nails to each other.

Victoria has decided to go with a black sparkle nail look:



Laura went with a beautiful lavender color. Little sparkly stars could be seen under the top coat:



While I stuck with a navy blue look that matches my dress quite well:



"I swear they were talking about me that whole time." Victoria said pulling into the nearest McDonald's. Laura has begged us to get some type of fast food before we had to go back and finish getting ready. After about ten minutes of discussion we chose McDonald's.

"I know right! The lady kept looking at my nails and cringing." I said laughing. The girls joined in.

While we are our food we just talked about how we feel like prom is going to go. Inside of McDonald's other girls and men stood there looking partially dressed up and partially not. Looks like others had got the same idea as us.

"Where do you think we are going for dinner?" I asked leaving the restaurant. The girls looked at me like I was crazy. I just shrugged.

"Girl I swear all you think about is your stomach." Laura said laughing. I smiled innocently at her.

"All I know is that we have to see my mom. She had always dreamt of what my prom would be like, so I want to go see her. You guys can meet her as well. I know Mike, Jacob, and Laura have." I said, the girls just nodded.

When we got back to my house we basically rushed inside realizing that we had only about three hours before the boys will show up.

We had agreed on the fact that I would do their hair and Victoria will do our makeup. We had all changed into comfy clothes and prepared ourself for the long journey of getting ready.

I was dancing around my room singing Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles when a scream followed by loud thuds ran through my room. I paused my music and walked into the bathroom.

Victoria looked at Laura's butt with a face of complete and utter horror.

"Did you just burn your butt with my curling iron." I said laughing. A huge hole was now in the back of Laura's pants and burn marks around it.

"I am so glad I wore my butt pads." Laura mumbled quietly.

"Butt pads?" Victoria and I questioned at the same time while laughing. Laura's cheeks flushed.

"They make my butt look bigger." She mumbled. We just broke into another fit of laughter.

After we calmed down I began putting their hair into their hairstyles.

For Laura I decided to make her hair into a low braided bun and a braid going into it:



For Victoria I decided to curl her hair and put up the top with a gorgeous white beaded pin:



As for myself I curled all my hair and made a fishtail type of braid flowing down my back:



The girls all loved their hair. Next was makeup. Victoria was the best makeup artist out of all of us so we all voted her to do our makeup. If it weren't for her our makeup would probably look like a clown had done it.

Laura's:



Victoria's:



Charlie's:



I had never been a makeup person. If I ever wore makeup I would keep it pretty simple and wouldn't go to extreme with it. Normally a brown Smokey eye or just a nude color on my eyelids, but I was completely in love with the look Victoria had done.

"Ah Mike just texted me and said the boys just met up and were about to head out and come here!" Laura exclaimed, a small girlish squeal left hers and Victoria's mouths. I on the other hand had a wave of nervousness wash over me.

Laura and Victoria rushed into my closet where they had hung up their dresses to keep them from getting wrinkled. I stayed put and just watched my friends.

"One of you can change in my brothers room while the other can change in the bathroom." I said nodding to them. They squealed and separated.

I smiled and stood up walking out of my room and to my moms. I walked over to her large closet and pulled the door opened. The white bag holding my dress sat in all its glory. I grabbed it and made my way back to my room.

I froze when my eyes locked with my two best friends in their dresses. One word to describe them both is stunning. They both looked gorgeous in their dresses.

Victoria wore a long black dress with a slit running up to her upper thigh. The top of the dress was a beautiful black lace while the sleeves were see through. The dress itself looked great and fit her frame nicely. The black made her bright red hair pop. She paired the dress with a pair of black strapy heels:



Laura wore a long and poofy lavender colored dress. Lavender flowers complemented her dress everywhere. The back was strapped up in a beautiful pattern. The dress hugged her curves and maid her blond hair stick out. She paired the dress with a pair of silver heels.





My best friends looked absolutely stunning. I hooked my dress on the door and basically ran over to them.

"You guys look amazing!" I yelled. They smiled brightly at me.

"It's your turn go!" Laura said grabbing my dress and passing it to me. Victoria gave me a slight push towards the bathroom. I smiled at them and went inside.

I stripped out of my comfy clothes and pulled out my dress. I didn't want to ruined my hair or makeup so I stepped into the dress. Luckily for me the zipper was on the side so it was easy to get in and out of.

After I put the dress on I turned and looked into my full body mirror. My dress was a very frame fitting dress. The top of the dress was a tan lace which matched my skin tone perfectly which made it look like it was my skin. Navy blue lace covered where my boobs were and some detailing around the top of the dress.

The detailing of the lace traveled down my waist very slightly. The skirt part of the dress had many different layers of shades of blue and purple.

I had never been one to show off skin or wear anything that shows off my insecurities but this dress made me feel confident. It made me feel beautiful.

I had then paired the dress with a pair of strapy black heals. Am I going to trip when trying to dance, yeah most likely. Do I care, not one bit.





When I walked out of the bathroom it took my friends a few seconds to notice. Once their eyes turned to me their jaws dropped slightly. I smiled at them and walked over.

"Oh my gosh Charlie! You're so gorgeous." Laura said hugging me tightly. I laughed and hugged Victoria as well.

I was about to say something else when i heard the noise of two cars pull up and many doors shutting. I'm guessing the girls did too because they rushed over my window and peered out the shades.

"They rode in a fucking limo!" Victoria and Laura screamed. I laughed at them but my laughter stopped when I heard the front door open. Nerves instantly washed over me. What if Jacob doesn't think I look good?

Laura basically rushed to the door when we heard a knock at the door. The door opened revealing Laura's mother.

"Oh my gosh! You all look so beautiful!" Heather, Laura's mom gushed. She rushed over and hugged us all while tears streamed down her face.

"Oh gosh, I'll have the boys wait at the end of the hall. I will call each of you down in an order. Victoria will be first, then Laura, and finally Charlie." Her mother exclaimed running out of the room. We laughed at her actions. Each of us lined up at the door.

"What if I trip going down the stairs?!" Victoria exclaimed. Laura and I shook our heads at her.

"You won't fall down the stairs." I said patting her back slightly.

"Victoria!" Heather called. Victoria turned to us and smiled.

"That's my cue! See you downstairs." She said walking out of the room. I could hear her heels click as she walked down the hall. I turned to Laura to see her already looking at me with a soft smile. I was about to say something when the voice of someone down stairs stopped me.

"Fuck, Victoria that pin thing hurts like bitch." Austin curses but it sounded muffled due to the distance. Laura and I looked at each other again and laughed.

"My beautiful Laura!" Heather called. Laura smiled at me and grabbed my hand giving it a small squeeze before letting go and walking out of my room.

Oh my gosh. It's me next. I never thought I was going to go to prom. I always said I wouldn't because no one would ever ask me, then Jacob came.

"And last but not least, Charlie." Heather called. I took a deep breath and walked out of my room. My heels clicked with every step I took.

Stepping down onto the first step I had just prayed I wouldn't fall in these heels. So many thoughts ran through my head until my eyes landed at the people at the bottom waiting for my arrival downstairs.

All of their eyes were cast up at my frame as I walked down. Austin and Mike looked at me with a small smile. They both wore black tux's with a tie matching their dates dresses.

Finally my eyes locked with those silver blue ones that I've come to love. His eyes were wide as he took in my appearance. He licked his lips slightly before a full blown grin took over his face.

Jacob also wore a black tux. His tie matched my dress completely. He looked like a god in a tux might I add. Completely fricken drool worthy. He walked forward towards the bottom of the steps.

I was too engrossed in the moment that my foot went straight past a step and I began falling. Before I hit the ground strong arms wrapped around me. The laughter of my friends filled the air.

Jacob helped me stand on my own two feet once again. My cheeks were flushed completely.

"Looks like I jinxed you." Victoria said laughing again, causing Laura to laugh. I just looked down at my feet.

After everyone calmed down from laughter I put the flower pin on Jacob's tux. After I did that the boys brought out the corsages.

Victoria's was black with white roses in it which matched her dress perfectly:



Laura's was lavender which had also matched her dress perfectly. Small pink and purple flowers were all littered in the corsage:



Mine like the others fit matched my dress. The colors made my tan skin seem even tanner than normal. The corsage was full of white flowers. Lace ribbon details were also visable:



The boys took each of their dates arms and led them outside where Heather began taking pictures. She had us do a lot of different types of poses before she set us free to leave.

We all piled into the limo, Austin's twenty year old brother sat in the front driving the limo. I sat next to Jacob on one side of the limo while the others sat on the other sides.

"We have to go to the hospital before we go to the dinner. I need to see my mom and I want you guys to meet her." I said shyly. They all smiled at me and nodded. *************************************

Walking through the hospital doors nurses and doctors heads turned our way. Some of the nurses who knew me complemented our looks.

We made it up to my mothers room in no time. I knocked on the familiar door quietly. Bailey opened it and smiled. She did a quickly double take on my look and her eyes widened.

"Who's at the door miss Bailey?" My mother's voice filled the air. Bailey opened the door wider for us. My mother sat on the bed like always. Her eyes were cast over and they instantly lit up when she saw me.

"Oh my gosh! My beautiful Charlie. You look so wonderful!" Mother explained while I hugged her.

"Thank you momma. These are my friends. You already know Mike and Laura." I said pointing to them.

"Hello momma Mack." They both said hugging her. Mother complimented the two of them making a slight blush show up on their cheeks.

"And you know Jacob." I said pointing to him. My mother nodded and smiled at him. He smiled at her as well.

"Then that is Austin and that is Victoria." I said pointing them out to her. My mother's eyes looked over at the two who looked like they were about to pee their pants.

"Hello Mrs Mack." Victoria said stretching her hand out to my mother. My mother took it and pulled her into a hug.

"Ah don't call me that, it makes me sound old! Call me momma Mack!" She exclaimed. Austin and Victoria nodded. My mother did the same to Austin that she did to Victoria.

"You guys all look dashing tonight!" She said with a large smile. I sat down on the side of her bed and took her hand. She squeezed mine and looked at me with a smile.

"Thank you momma." I said leaning forward and placing a kiss on her forehead.

We had sat and chatted with my mother for a little while before we decided it was a good time to head to the dinner.

As we walked out of the room I notice Jacob stop. I looked over at him to see his eyes peering down the hall towards the peads portion of the hospital. I grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze, which made his eyes look over to me. He smiled sadly at me before we walked hand in hand towards the elevator. ************************************* Ahhh I'm so sorry for such a long wait for this update!!
