I'm getting looks from everyone as I walk into the party. I catch Jake's blonde hair and start to make my way towards him. He greets me with a slight smile, somethings wrong I can see it on his face. Then I finally hear what's got everyone's attention. Two girls walk by whispering and glancing my way, "That's her. She's the one that broke his heart. What kind of person is she?" I look away from them, I know exactly who they are talking about. They didn't even have to say his name, because I know it was Twan. Tears start to fall down my face at a rapid pace. I turn and run out of the building, to my dismay it's raining, but it doesn't stop me from getting far away from all of those people. My vision is blurry from the crying, plus the rain doesn't help, but I don't see the car until the headlights were right there and it's too late...


I jolt up in bed breathing heavily. I look around and confused on where I am for a second, but then relax once I remember I crashed at Jake's. My dream flashes back in my mind, causing me to get goosebumps all over. I get out of bed and put on my clothes from yesterday. I leave a note for Jake explaining to him that I need to face Twan and go back. As I'm leaving I hear someone clear their throat behind me. I turn slowly to see Logan standing there raising his eyebrows at me. "Is everything alright with you? I know we haven't been able to talk these past weeks, but I do care about you. You've always been like a little sister to me", he asks with sincerity. I sigh and walk over to him and reply, "I'm getting better, like before all of this craziness. Thank you though Logan." Then give him a hug, which he wraps me in his arms too. We let go and I walk back over to the door, however I look back at him again and he only gives me a small nod. I nod back and leave the apartment.


The key's in my hand to unlock the door, but I can't find the strength to do it. I take a big breath in, then out, letting me have the courage to open the door. The apartment is completely quiet. Maybe Twan is still sleeping? I walk over to the bedroom and find it empty too. Well s**t, he's not even here. I take this time to change and get ready for my day. I have the "black & white" affair tonight with Cameron. To be honest, I don't really know how I feel about tonight. I haven't even spent time alone with him, not mentioning that I don't have a dress for tonight. I've been so busy I completely forgot about getting a dress. I call Ashlee right away. "Abbi! I was just talking about you, I can't wait to see you tonight. Partly because you're bringing THE Cameron Dallas. Anyways what might I do for you?" I hear Ashlee through the phone ask. "I know this sounds bad, but I've forgotten to get a dress tonight and I thought you could help me find one", I reply. I hear a squeal and have to move the phone away from my ear. "Yes! I would LOVE to!" she yells with excitement. "I know exactly the place to go to, here let me give you the address", she continues with. I write down the name and tell her, "I'll meet you there in twenty minutes."


I get out of the car and look around at my surroundings. I've never been to this part of town, everything is beautiful and perfect. I'm not familiar with big name fashion designers, but the store Ashlee named sounds expensive. I don't have time to back out, because I see a smiling Ashlee walking towards me. "You'll fall in love with the dresses inside, trust me Ab", she reassures me once she reaches to where I'm standing. Then she links our arms together and begins to walk towards the store. To my surprise there isn't only dresses here, don't get me wrong it's mostly dresses here, but tuxes are in one part of the store as well. "Now I've called on the way here to grab the white and black dresses out in your size to be taken off to the side for you already", Ashlee informs me. We walk over to this private area of dressing rooms, where a woman is already waiting for us. I say hello, but she only gives me a small smile. Ashlee is already going through the dresses and commenting on if they're good enough. She pulls out three dresses finally and hands them to me while saying, "I'll be right here in the chair waiting and if you need help call."


There's a wall full of mirrors and I'm currently staring at the tenth dress I've tried on and showed Ashlee. I don't know why I can't find a dress, I shouldn't even be picky, considering I am the one to put off getting a dress. However, all of the dresses didn't sit well with me in some way. I sigh, realizing this dress isn't the one either. "Can you even walk in that dress?" Ashlee asks. I laugh and try to walk normal, she's right it's way too tight on my legs and I have to walk ridiculously small steps. "Let's try another one", I say. She nods her head and laughs with me. Ashlee goes to pick out some more, but I speak up, "Let me pick this one out, maybe it'll speed things up?" I wobble up to the other dresses and run my fingers through the fabrics. One of them catches my eye, the top and sleeves are made of lace. As I pull it off the rack, I realize it starts to get puffy down to the bottom, like Cinderella's dress. I take it back into the dressing room and immediately put it on. I turn around towards the mirror in the small room and a gasp escapes my lips. "Let me see", Ashlee pleads. I open the door and walk out. She jumps up unto her feet and screams, "That's the one! That's the one, you look so beautiful! And it hugs onto your body perfectly, making you look like a princess." I smile and look at the walled mirrors, I really do look ravishing in the dress. "It's the dress Ash", I finally say.


I finally get into my own clothes and look at the dress I'm getting one more time. A smile finds its way on my face again. I catch glimpse of the price tag and pull it out so I can see the price. My smile drops immediately once I see the three nines. I call for Ashlee right away, she opens the door and looks at me. "Ashlee I can't get this dress", I tell her. She shakes her head and reassures me, "Ab this dress is made for you." I sigh and inform her, "This dress is $999, I can't get it. As much as I want to." Her face frowns a bit, but she nods her head. "That is a lot, but it's a beautiful dress. I understand though", she tells me. "I'm guessing all the dresses here are expensive?" I ask her. "Well kind of, but not all are a thousand dollars", she replies. "Do you want to leave?" she continues with. I nod my head and we make our way out. I hold the dress one last time and frown, while handing it over to the woman that was helping us.


I unlock the apartment to find it once again empty. I go straight to my closet to try to find anything black or white, at this point I'll where anything even if it's not fancy. I mean they're my teammates, they shouldn't judge too much. There's a knock on the door and I open to find a big box on the floor. I bring it in and read the note first, For you tonight. Every girl deserves to be a princess. Confusion crosses me, the person didn't sign a name on the card. I open the box and tears streak my face, in my hands is the dress.

Above is the closest to what I pictured the dress to look like, but of course Abbi's dress reaches the floor. 

Thank you everyone that's reading, voting, and commenting!!!!! 

I'm keeping this short, but I'd like to see if anyone can guess who bought Abbi the dress??

Well until next week :)
