I sat up in bed after feeling the empty spot next to me. Where was Jay? He never wakes up before me...odd. After blinking a few times to get used to the sunlight pouring in through the window, I noticed that I was covered in rose petals. I smiled and laughed, this was so not Jay.
I seen a white card in the middle of my floor so I got up and walked toward it. Looking around quickly to see if someone wad hiding in the corner, I bent down and grabbed the white paper. Opening it up it had the word 'YOU' on it. I was confused, I had no idea what that was suposse to mean. I knew all our threats were taken care of months ago, so I knew I had nothing to fear.
There was a trail of rose petals that led out of my room, so I decided what the hell. I opened my door and followed then to the staircase and walked down. There was another white card at the bottom of that stairs. I grabbed this one as well and read it. There was a plus sign on it. Â Hmm so I had a 'you plus', weird.
I continued the trail of the pour torn up roses until I ended up in the kitchen. There on the counter was a Red Bull can with a white card on top of it. I laughed and grabbed it to read what was on this one. 'Me' was on it. I cracked open the energy drink and continued my desent to god only knows where.
Another card was placed on the living room floor. There was an equal sign on this one. I was had a very good idea who the 'me' was in this situation and was slightly shocked that this person would go through all this trouble.
Smiling I followed the rest of the trail out the back sliding door. Once I reached outside I was floored. There were about 100 or so tea-light candles spelled into the word 'PROM?'. Jay was standing behind the candles with a smile on his face and one single red rose in his hand. He was dressed in his typical black shirt and dark blue jeans. His hair was done and he looked utterly edible.
"So kitten...will you?" Jay asked, smiling. I nodded and ran towards him, of course watching the candles in the process. I didn't need to fall on the tiny flames. "Of course I'll go with you! I definatly didn't expect this, I just though it would be self explanitory that we would go together." I said and he chuckled.
"Oh kitten we were always going together, I just wanted to do something special for you. I'm glad your surpised." I kissed him and he kissed me back with equal passion. "I love you." I said to him and he gave me a quick peck. "I love you too kitten."

It's been month's since I did the deed of killing my former best friend. Everything was covered up so no question were asked. There was a funeral and everything. I didn't attend however, but many people from our school did.
It has been very peaceful, no problems, just strickly teenage living. Yes, Jay and the guy's were still in the gang and still did their run's as ordered. They also had the occasional fight to attend to, but I didn't mind.
The reaper was sexy anyways, and all mine.
School was over, well for me anyway's. I took all my exams already so I didn't need to go to the last few day's left. Likewise for Jay. The guy's weren't so lucky and they envied us for it. Prom was today and I was more then excited. My mother was also ecstatic to be dressing me up as a princess for the night.
"I can't believe that your already done with high school. It was only yesterday you were wearing diapers." She cried to me as she was curling my hair. I smiled at her. "Mom relax I'll always be your little girl, I just had to grow up sometime." I said, trying to calm her down.
"Your damn right your always going to be my little girl." She said, sticking her nose up in the air with the occasional sniffle. I laughed at her snooty look. I heard some noise coming from downstairs and knew Jay and the guy's were here. They all got dates surprisingly. I assumed that all the girls were afraid of them, but I guess I was wrong.
"Alright let's slip you into this dress and into the shoes and you will be all set. I can hear that everyone is already arriving and I need to take lots of pictures." She said as she grabbed my dress. I groaned. "Is the picture thing really necessary mom?" I asked already knowing the dreaded answer.
She clicked her tongue and gave me a look that said 'yes so stop being a baby' , sighing I gave up the fight and slipped into my dress. My dress was a blood red color which went great with my natural red highlights in my hair. It was a corsetted top with rhinestones scattered in a delecite swirl design. The bottom was mermaid style and silky. The dressed costed a pretty penny, but I just had to get it.
I matched the dress with 4 inch peep toe black pumps. I didn't want to over do it with the red for fear I could resemble Carrie when she went to her prom. Breathing out a breath, I turned to mom and seen that she had tears in her eyes.
"You look so beautiful baby girl." She said and swooped in to give me a hug. "Thank you mom, I couldn't of done it without your help." I smiled at her. "Now stop with the sentimental moments, I refuse to ruin my makeup with tears." She laughed and I joined her. "Let's get down there before they think you ran away.
I slowly walked down the stairs like that chick in She's All That and my eye's were only on Jay. He looked very hansome and sexy in his suit. Black jacket and black pants with black leather shoes. Even his dress shirt was black. All and all the look suited him. His hair was of course in his faux hawk style and I wouldn't want him to change that at all. He did however have a blood red tie on that matched my dress perfectly.
"You look gorgeous kitten." He stated in a husky voice and I smiled up at him. "Thank you, you look very handsome yourself." He smirked already knowing how he looked. He will forever be a cocky asshole, I swear. He opened the box that was in his hand and lifted out a red rose corsage and I laughed.
"Haven't you had enough roses?" I asked as he slipped it on my wrist I held out to him and he chuckled. "When your involved, never." I looked over to mom and she handed me the boutineer to pin on him, which I did. It was also a rose to match my own.
I looked at all the guy's and they were all dressed like Jay except for the color of their ties. They all matched their date's dressed. "You all look so sadistic in all black. Now if only you had pinstripes on your suits and a fedora, you would all look like old mobsters." I said laughing.
I watched Drake run outside quickly to what I assume was the limo and back inside. With a black fedora on his head. I bursted out laughing as did the others. "Only you Drake, only you." I said whilst shaking my head, still smiling. "Okay everyone, It's picture time!" My mom yelled at everyone and we all groaned in unison. My dad chuckled, and gave us a look that told us we were not to argue with the picture taking.
------
A half hour later we were finally done and all piled into the Hummer limo that was in front of the house. I sat on Jay's lap as did all the other girls. They were all very pretty in their dresses and looked generally happy with the guy's. I knew one or two of them which I was thankful for.
"Alright, let's make a toast." I heard Nick say and glasses were being handed around the group of us. Kale grabbed the bottle of champagne and popped it open. We all leaned into him and he filled each glass.
"A toast to family and friends." Nick said. "And to a kick ass night!" Drake added which caused us to laugh. We all clinked out glasses together and drank the fizzy goodness.
------
The prom was located in one of the country clubs that were near by the school. It was already packed by the time we got there, due to running late from those damn pictures. It was a huge ballroom that was flooded with green and gold balloons and streamers, which were our school colors.
We headed to one of the empty tables and put all of our belongings on it. I looked to Jay and gave him a light kiss. "Wanna dance bad boy?" I asked in a low voice and he bent down to kiss my neck. "I want to do alot more then just dance kitten, but we can start with that." I chuckled and grabbed his hand and headed to the dance floor.
We danced for a few songs and I was throughly enjoying myself, but my feet were killing me. "Babe I need to sit down before my feet fall off." He laughed at my grimaced face and lead me back to the table. All the guy's were out on the floor with their dates having a blast and I just smiled. I was so happy that everything was back to normal and I was here with the people I cared the most for.
The last song ended and the principal went on to the makeshift stage. "It's time to annouce the King and Queen of the prom!" He shouted through the mic and we all clapped. After a few more rambles from him it was time for the winners to be annouced. "Your prom king is.....Jay Collins!" Jay smiled at me and gave me a quick kiss before he got up and walked to the stage. A fake plastic crown was placed on his head and we all laughed. Even he could make a dollar store item look sexy.
"Your prom queen is....Sadi Costello!" I was shocked. I never even thought I was in the running, but that's what I get for not paying attention to high school politics. Not to mention that he said my last name of Costello, but I guess I can thank my dad for changing that.
"Sadi, get your ass up there girl!" Amy, Nick's date smiled and shooed me to the stage and I laughed. "I'm going I'm going!" I said and walked on. They placed the fake tiara on my head and gave me a bundle of roses. More roses. Lovely. "Now it's time for our king and queen to have their dance."
Jay grabbed my hand and lead me to the floor. I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab For Cutie blasted through the speakers as Jay held me close. We started to sway to the melody and I rested my head on his shoulder. "This night couldn't of been better." I mumbled into his neck and I could feel him smile. "It's been perfect kitten, I love you." He said and I lifted my head up and kissed him. "I love you too."
The rest of the night went smoothly, fun, drinks, and great times with my friend's and love of my life. It was a night I would never forget and I knew my life was just getting started.
