Brianna's POV
I sat in my room for a few hours after Ashton dropped me off. My mum wasn't home yet and I really needed to talk to her. But as much as I knew I needed to talk to her, I kept thinking about how pissed Rae is at Luke. It's slightly understandable though, because Luke continued to hang out with Rebecca for the rest of the day, and Rae didn't even come near me and the other three boys. It was like she didn't want to go anywhere near something that could be associated with them. She even gave me her phone so she wouldn't have to look at any possible texts. She had a couple from Jayden and maybe twenty from Luke, give or take a couple. Most of them were asking if she was okay, if she was still mad, and if they were okay. I would think it'd be pretty obvious that they are so far from being okay, but I guess not.
I heard a the front door open and close, so I got up and started to walk downstairs. She was still standing in front of the door, sorting through the mail.
"Hi." I said.
She jumped and looked at me. "Oh, I didn't realize you were home. I thought you might stay with Rae again."
"You and I both know staying at Rae's was the best idea for me. If I had stayed we probably would have killed each other."
"I know." she sighed. "I just can't understand why you would want to be friends with them."
"I can't understand why you refuse to get to know them. They're all really nice Mum."
"I don't know."
"Ashton's going to be my date for your charity event tomorrow, that is if you still want me to go."
"Of course I still want you to go, but are you really going to bring him?"
"Yes. It'll be the perfect time for you to meet him."
"I'll probably be really busy..."
"Then make time. He means a lot to me Mum, and I know you'll like him too."
"Fine."
I smiled, glad she finally agreed to it.

Rae's POV
I finished putting bobbie pins in my hair so it would stay on one side. I looked in the floor length mirror one last time before I went downstairs. I was so glad I found my fit and flare dress, completely covered in diamonds, and the slits at the bottom were filled with layers of pink tule. I smiled slightly, and then headed to the stairs. Michael smiled when he saw me and stuck his hand out. I took it and he helped me down the rest of the stairs.
"You look absolutely gorgeous."
"Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself."
He smiled and took my hand again. "When he sees you, he'll feel like the biggest idiot in the world."
So he obviously caught on to my mood.
"You think so?"
"Definitely."
I sighed and let him take me out to his car.
We got to the hall where the event was being held and Michael and I walked inside. My eyes immediately found Brianna and Ashton. They were standing off to the side, both their eyes scanning the room for someone. I walked over to them, Michael following behind me.
"Hi." I smiled. "You look amazing, Bri."
She smiled and looked down at her dress. It was a blush color that had a high neckline and an intricate design on the bodice, the back was completely open, and it had two think straps to hold it up.
