The day of the ball

I was up and ready at 6am, in silk pyjamas, with a pencil in my head and screaming at people

''NO NO, I TOLD YOU OVER THERE DAVE, MOVE IT WE DON'T HAVE TIME'' I yell and he runs 

''Mi Amor, calm down- it is okay'' my dad says

''He's pissing me off, can i shoot him'' i say and he laughs

''No darling- we cannot kill people who anger us'' he says and i sit down

''The draping looks amazing sweetie, now the food will come an hour before the ball starts - pomfrey has already gotten everything under control''

''CARLOS, WHAT DID I TELL YOU - DON'T FUCK WITH ME TODAY'' pomfrey yells towards her son

''Okay i'll go deal with her before she murders her kid'' My mum says and leaves

''You go home, your dress is there- go have a look'' he says 

''Don't have to tell me twice'' i say and get into my car and go home and when i walk into my bedroom, the most beautiful gown draping over my bed 

''Holy shit'' i say 

It was the most incredible thing, the gown had an ombre effect of three shades of blue going down with sparkles, the sleeves were delicate, blue lace with a v-neck and the bottom of the gown was almost flower like- open and free with a slit on the side 

My oh my 

I carefully placed it on my chair and went for a shower and then headed downstairs to eat 

''Uh uh food at the ball, you can have a sandwich'' my mum says and i make myself a chicken and sweetcorn sandwich 

After hours of learning how to dance, my hair was dry and i went to straighten it and then applied some makeup 

''MUM HELP ME WITH THIS DRESS'' i say and she unzips and i get into it, strapping a gun to my thigh 

''Wow, look at you''

''Please yours looks amazing, tell the lady thank you on my behalf'' i say and we get into a limo and head off to the ball and we walk, it was exactly how i planned it and it looked amazing 

I plugged my usb full of songs, it was almost 9 hours long and allowed it to play and the first song was runaway 

An hour later guests began to flood the ball, eating food and enjoying themselves, their teenagers outside in the ocean or dancing with their partners- everything looked great until a little someone walked in and the whole place fell silent

''Didn't think he would show up'' my dad says and we all get up

''Oh my god the rival families''

''Someone's gonna die'' i heard someone whisper and i rolled my eyes 

''We meet again'' i hear him say 

''Yeah, are you here to threaten me again'' he says 

''Ace back off, we're here as friends'' 

''I don't know if friendship is what he wants'' i say 

''Amor, no'' my dad says

''Everybody enjoy the ball'' i say and everyone begins talking except everyone looked at us, whispering every once in a while 

Whatever 

''Hey guys, a moment, it is now time for the dance. So please get up and make your way to the dance floor'' my mum says and my dad takes her hand, ace's father takes his wifes hand, the whole ballroom begins to dance except for two of us

Me and Ace

''Get up'' i heard his mother say to him and he shakes his head and she runs over to me

''Everybody has to dance darling'' she says and puts my hand in ace's and runs off

I look over to my mum and she nods 

''Suck it up tough guy'' i say and he puts his hand around my waist and my hand goes in his other hand and we dance, his hot breath on my neck and his cologne radiating off of him and then as the song begins to go faster, the whole ballroom does, we spin and dance, our eyes never going off of each other and he picks me up, and when we come back down he leans forward, forcing me to go under and being rested against his knee and his eyes never leave mine, his breath falls on my face -mint- and he pushes away the hairs on my face and caresses my cheek with his thumb 

''TANGO'' i hear someone yell and he picks me back up and holds both of my hands and he smirks 

''Forgot the moves rodriguez'' he asks and i laugh 

''Never'' i say and begin to dance as the music changed up and he picked me up once again and we twirled and he grabbed my waist and we both began smiling and as the music stopped we stood there and he laughed and just then we heard a loud bang and we pulled apart and our Fathers began swinging at each other and we both ran and when they pulled apart, Aces father pulled out a gun to my dad and i pulled out mine to his head 

''Move and you die'' i say and ace pulls a gun to my head and my mum pulls one to his 

Lord what has this become.
