Keona's POV

I woke up feeling worse then usual. Last night with Harry I felt something, but of course he felt nothing for me. Not like I can blame him, I mean look at me.

I trudged out of bed and dragged my feet to the shower. I turned the knob and waited for the warm water to heat up. Once it did, I stripped my clothes off and hopped inside the shower. I woke up an hour before school, so I'll take my precious time.

I washed my hair and body and sighed. I tend to overthink in the shower, and when I thought about Harry, tears formed in my eyes. I shut my eyes tightly and leaned against the shower wall.

The only thing I could think about what the pain I was feeling. I looked to my side and saw the one friend that's always been there for me. I grabbed the razor and looked down at my thighs. I still had a few clean spots.

I put on some regular jeans and my oversized sweater. I was brushing my hair when someone knocked on my door. I expected it to be Mrs- mom, but it wasn't.

"Zayn?" I asked.

He nodded, "Hey I came to check up on you."

"Well here I am, I'm fine." I lied, but of course I was used to it by now.

"Liar," Zayn sat on my bed, "Why were you in such a rush at school the other day?"

Shit. "I didn't sleep very well and I didn't feel like talking to anyone."

Zayn didn't look convinced, "Keona, stop with the lying."

I was silent. Why is he so good at detecting all these lies? I hated it.

"I-I'm not lying."

"Then show me your arms." Zayn said sternly.

"What w-why?" I began to mentally panic and curse, no no no he can't see my arms.

Zayn raised an eyebrow, "I think you know why," His voice cracked, "Now show me your arms."

"No! Zayn please just leave me alone." My lip began to quiver.

"Keona, I'm your friend and the last thing you need right now is to be alone. Show. Me. Your. Arms." He held out both of his hands.

I hesitantly put my arms out, Zayn didn't hesitate to pull up my sleeves. The look on his face showed pity and dissapointment.

"You were doing so well." He whispered.

I bit my bottom lip, "I was."

Zayn's POV


"I was." She said bluntly.

I sighed, I came here for two reasons. The first reason was to see why she walked away from me the other day. The second was to ask her a question.

"C-Can I ask you a question?" I asked.

Keona nodded, "Sure."

"Are you and Harry going to prom together?" I asked quietly.

Keona's eyes traveled to her feet, "No, he's probably going with Adriana."

"Well, we're best friends. Wanna go to prom with me?" I asked, with the best smile I could give.

Keona looked up from her feet and she couldn't hide the smile on her face. "Sure, but prom is tonight and I don't have a dress and-"

"Calm down, we can go shopping right now." I stood up, "It's not like we're learning anything today anyways."

Keona pursed her lips, but she finally grabbed her phone and put it in her back pocket, "Okay, let's go."

We both walked down the stairs together, and her mom smiled, "Have a good day at school!" She called back.

Keona just nodded and rushed outside. I unlocked the car and she got in the passenger seat, I put the key in the ignition and then we were off.

Keona's POV

"This would look nice on you." Zayn said and brought over a dark blue dress.

"Zayn it has short sleeves." I sighed.

"Oh. Hold on let me look some more." He put the dress on the hangar and he walked off into the room with more dresses.

I sat on a bench tapping my foot. I stopped tapping it when I heard that familiar laughter, I looked and saw Mishella and Adriana walking into the store across from the one I was in. What're they doing here?

I internally groaned but didn't say anything.

"Found one!" Zayn called.

He walked over with the biggest grin on his face, "It's perfect!"

He handed me a black lace dress that hung low to my feet. It was long sleeved, and came down as a V-shape on the chest. It was gorgeous.

"Zayn, I would ruin this dress. Only pretty girls can wear it." I said while running my hands over the dress.

"You're right, but you can wear it because you're beautiful. You make the dress look like a plastic bag. But it's the only one with long sleeves so go try it on." Zayn pushed the dress slightly into my arms and then pushed me into the dressing rooms.

I knew there was no fighting Zayn on this, so I just put the dress on. I looked in the mirror and the dress was amazing, but I didn't think I looked good enough in it.

"Are you done dressing?" Zayn asked.

"Yeah." I said, while turning to see what it looked like in the back.

Zayn opened the curtain and he was silent for a second. "W-Wow you look amazing."

I felt my cheeks turn red, "Ha, no. But thanks."

"So? Is this the dress you're going to wear?" Zayn asked.

"I think so." I replied.

Zayn smiled and I changed back into my clothes and walked the cash register and bought the dress.

When we walked out, we both saw the two devils themselves. They were both glaring at us, but Zayn wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and we walked out of the mall without another word.

Adriana's POV

"Isn't that the dress you wanted to buy?" Mishella asked as we watched Keona and Zayn walk away.

I glared at them both, "It was. Now I have to find one better."

"You're just going to let her wear your dress? That's new." Mishella mumbled.

I laughed, "Oh no, I have a plan. No one will see it coming, not even Harry."

Then we walked into another store looking for a dress.

Keona's POV

"One more picture!" Another flash went off, I was surprised that I wasn't blind yet.

"Okay, can we go?" I asked mom.

She nodded, "Have a great time. I trust you Zayn, so take care of her."

"Of course." Zayn nodded and we both walked to the car.

I was actually very nervous for a number of reasons. One, Harry was going to be there. Two, Harry's date and her evil friend know that I'll be at prom. They probably have some evil plan.

I watched the cars pass us as we drove to some fancy hotel where prom was at. And before I knew it, Zayn parked and we were here. I chewed the inside of my cheek, here goes nothing.

I stepped out of the car and looked at the giant hotel, well they weren't wrong about the fancy part. Zayn grabbed my hand and smiled. We both walked into the hotel and the music immediately defeaned my ears.

"Do you want to dance?" Zayn asked.

I nodded, and we both began to dance. We danced like idiots for a few songs, I was actually having a great time. Zayn would twirl me around and I would twirl him as a joke.

I seemed to forget about everything, then a slow song came on. Zayn froze for a second, but then he gave me the 'why not?' look. So I put my hand on his shoulder and the other in his right hand.

"So how are you enjoying prom?" He asked over the music.

"I'm having a great time, glad I actually came." I admitted.

Zayn nodded and smiled, "I'm glad you're my friend too, that makes things I don't know, happier."

Harry's POV

I watched intently as Zayn and Keona danced together. Adriana said she had to use the restroom or something, and Mishella went with her.

So here I was, alone drinking some cheap punch and watching my ex-bestfriend dance with Keona. I felt jealous for some odd reason, why? I have no idea, we weren't together or anything.

I groaned and sat down in the chair in the corner. I liked the corner because no one came over here, and you could see everything. I watched Keona smile and laugh while she talked to Zayn.

I watched, and then I saw something odd. Above them, was two dark figures. I squinted my eyes, and then I realized who it was. Mishella and Adriana.

It took me a second, but I saw something with them. Oh god, it was a bucket. I looked at them, and then at Keona. I grabbed my phone and dialed Zayn's number.

He reached for his pocket, and gave Keona the 'give me a minute' sign, and he walked away. Damnit. I saw Adriana smirking as she got a good grip on the bucket.

Keona just stood there looking around. I stood up and began to push people out of the way. "Keona!" I yelled.

Keona's POV

"Keona!" I thought I heard.

I looked around, until I saw those familiar green eyes. I froze in my spot, and watched as he ran while pushing people out of the way.

He was yelling things to me, but I couldn't make out what. All I heard was "Look.....up....move....hurry!"

I raised an eyebrow, he got closer and he ran to me and pushed me so I stumbled a few feet away. At first I was furious, but then I saw a dark red thick liquid fall from the ceiling right on top of Harry. Right where I was standing two seconds ago.
