Fear

part 46

"What do you fear, lady?" [Aragorn] asked. "A cage," [Éowyn] said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire." ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Sophie's POV

After School I drove to my house, packing a small backpack full of sleepover essentials. I then drove to Liv's house and her mom answered the door.

"Hello Sophie." She says, letting me in.

"Hi Mrs.Anderson. Thanks for having me over!" I say.

"No problem, Liv's in her room." She says, closing the door.

I walk to her room, knowing where it is. I have been here countless of times. I'm here more than my own house.

"Hey Liv." I say to her, throwing my stuff on her bed.

"Hey Soph." She says, staring at her laptop.

"Whatcha doing?" I ask looking over her shoulder.

"Just watching the hottest youtubers ever!" She shouts watching a video.

I look at the boy talking. He has a wind swept hairdo and some piercings. He looks familiar.

"He looks familiar." I squint.

"Well his name is Kian and he's on O2L." She says not looking up from the screen.

"Oh yea I met him." I say.

"WHAT! YOU ACT LIKE THATS NOT A BIG DEAL!" She shouts, standing up and shaking me from my shoulders.

"Calm down Liv!" I laugh. "I met him when I went to an event with Cam."

"Dude, your so lucky!" She jumps up and down

"I have all their numbers." I smile.

"GIVE ME!" She prances to my phone.

"I don't know. They might want their privacy." I think. Liv's crazy, she'll defiantly spread their numbers.

"True. I guess I'll never talk to him." She sighs. I go on instagram and DM Kian, telling him about Liv. Soon Liv's phone rings.

"Oh I got a DM from..." She pauses. "KIAN LAWLEY!!"

I suffer through the screaming for thirty minutes before she finally stops.

"OMG THANK YOU SOPHIE!" She hugs me.

"No problem." I laugh and hug back.

The night just consists of eating, watching movies, pranking her siblings, and editing videos we made.

The next morning I left the house and drove home. I went to my room and went on my laptop. My youtube reached 1 million subscribers! What? I looked it over again. My Goggle inbox had a message.

"AHHHHH!!!" I screamed. Nash and Hayes ran in.

"Soph, you okay?" They pant.

"Yeah, just read!" I smile. They look at my laptop screen.

"Guess whatttt?" Nash drags the t.

"What?" Hayes and I say.

"I was invited too!" He smiles. We all hug and jump around, making Uncle Chad and Aunt Elizabeth come in.

"Whats all this noise about?" Aunt Elizabeth asks. We show them the letter and they freak out too.

I call Cam and he congratulates us. He said to hold on a second. I wait, hearing clicking and then him scream. He was invited too. Everyone just screams and thats how the rest of the day went.

The night of the dance

I quickly finished curling my hair and slipped on the light pink dress I bought. I put on some white lace heels, a few pieces of pink jewelry and a pink clutch. I added some makeup and went downstairs. The clock said 5:45 and the dance starts at 6. I heard a noise behind me and turned around to see Nash all dressed up.

"I didn't know you were going to the dance?" I say.

"Well I finally asked Nicole." He blushed.

"Ooh, Nashy has a crush." I laugh, running around him in circles.

"Jeez Soph you act like a five year old." He says grabbing me.

"You should have some fun for once." I pout and he lets go of me.

"Aww look at my babies!" I hear Aunt Elizabeth say. "Let me get a picture." She runs to get a camera.

"Mommm." Nash whines as she comes back.

"Just stand next to each other and smile." She says. We do so and she snaps the picture. I hear the doorbell and run to the door.

"Cam!" I hug him.

"Hello beautiful." He smiles.

"Hey Cam, come in the picture." Aunt Elizabeth says. He agree and we all smile for another picture.

"Okay bye!" I say and we get in his car. Nash gets into his car, probably to go pick up Nicole.

We arrive at the school, which was weird because it was Saturday. We parked pretty far and walked into the loud school. Lights were flashing and music was blaring. Teachers were everywhere trying to act cool. It was ridiculous watching them. After about an hour I was done.

"Want to go?" Cam shouts over the music and I nod in response. We head to the car and Cam drives to a small ice cream shop. We order and sit down.

"School dances are stupid." I sigh.

"Totally." He smiles.

"Well thanks for taking me anyway." I laugh.

"No problem." He smiles and our ice cream is ready.

After we ate and walked around, Cam dropped me off. Nash must have been home because his car was here.

"Love ya Cam." I kiss his cheek and get out.

"Love you too Soph." He smiles and drives off.

I open the front door and shut it quickly behind me. I lean my back against the door and heave out a sigh. Love is powerful.
