The Right Swan: Edward LS

Chapter 22

THREE YEARS AGO - Third P.O.V.

"If you go, I'll tell mom."

"Doesn't matter to me," Toni said. She was standing in front of the bathroom mirror while applying lipstick. She was getting ready for a party, one of Dean's parties to be exact. It was supposed to be the biggest one yet and Toni was hoping tonight would be the night Dean finally said the three magic words. Sure, she was only fourteen, fifteen in a few months, but she felt nothing but love for him. He had put her through Hell and back, but she couldn't help but love him regardless.

As she exited the bathroom, her phone beeped, signaling that she had a message. At the same time, she heard a beep from outside. She cursed Dean in her head for making his presence known; she didn't want her mom to start a losing argument. She quickly ran down the stairs to the front door. Before she made her way outside, she checked her phone. It was a text from Nathan.

It read: I need to talk to you tonight.

She scoffed, shut the front door, made her way to Dean's car, and ignored Nathan's text. She wasn't in the mood to argue with him for the fifth time this week. All she wanted to do was have fun. Dean immediately greeted her with a kiss when she entered the car and she returned it with a smile on her face. Dean made her happy and she didn't want to give up her happiness.

"Are you ready for the best night of your life?" Dean asked her.

"Definitely."

They walked into the abandoned warehouse together and were greeted with smoke, alcohol, blaring music, and lights that bounced off any surface they touched. Dean spotted his friends talking in a corner with some girls and pulled Toni with him as he made his way towards them. Dean bumped fists with his friends, while Toni smiled at the girls hanging around the area. She grimaced as a few of them stole some not-too-sneaky glances at her boyfriend. Dissatisfied, Toni linked arms with Dean and smirked as the girls glared at her. Her smirk was wiped off her face when Dean pulled away in annoyance.

"Babe," Toni whined, as she pulled on his arm. She didn't like that he was avoiding her affection and she didn't like the fact that he wasn't paying attention to her. He pulled away from her again, and yelled out a "what?!"

She cowered away from him and pointed towards the makeshift dance floor. Multiple people were brushing their bodies against each other and it intrigued her. Out of all the parties she had been to, she had never danced at any of them. Plus, she wanted to show Dean that despite her age, she was mature enough to be his girl. He sneered at her and turned down her offer.

"How about you make yourself useful and get me and the guys some drinks."

She sighed and agreed to do it. She weaved in and out of people and stopped at a table that sat under different types of alcohol. It was chipped and had a plethora of scratches embedded into it. On the floor beside it was a cooler filled with cans of beer. As she made a move to take some, she felt her phone buzz in her pocket. She took it out and saw a text from Nathan.

It read: Toni, please stop ignoring me.

She rolled her eyes and went back to the task at hand. She grabbed as many cans as she could and hoped she had enough. When Dean came into view, she immediately became angry and stopped. Latched onto the very same arm she had pulled was a woman with dull, red hair, who was laughing with her head thrown back and had her fingers wrapped around his bicep. She glowered at the obvious woman and started walking again.

"Hey, babe," she said when she was in front of Dean. She handed out the beer, having grabbed just enough and focused her attention on the woman. She felt like she had to remind him he was with her.
