SYDNEY
"Here, this is for you." I told Tom as I handed him a tie.
"Thanks, what is this for exactly." He asked as I kissed him quickly.
"My dress for the ball, and your an alpha." I said as I hung up my dress and he shook his head.
"Okay besides that." He said "I want to talk to you about that."
"Alright." I agreed sitting on the bed as he sat next to me.
"Well I've been thinking a little." He started as I nodded.
"Are you breaking up with me." I asked as he shook his head.
"Not at all, no." He assured as I took a breath.
"Okay continue." I said as he took my hands.
"I want to take Sarah to the ball, I just figured with all the drama." He said as I kinda felt my heart crack.
"That sounds like a great idea." I said as he sighed.
"So your not mad at me, because I will dance with you two." He said as I shook my head.
"Your being a concerned friend, why would I be mad." I asked but I was more sad.
"Because I know you've been talking about this for a while." He said as I nodded.
"You'll be around, just with another girl." I said as set the tie with his others in his drawer.
"Okay then its settled, you know I love you right." He said as I smiled softly at his words.
"I love you too." I said as he kissed me for a few seconds.
"Okay I'll see you, i'm gonna go call Sarah back." He said as he left and I sighed.
What did I just agree to. The rest of that night was pretty boring.
"Night." Tom said as I faced the other way.
"Night." I said back as I let the sleep take me.
I woke up at about noon and had to start getting ready. Taking a long shower.
"Morning." Ellie said as I took the plate she gave me.
"Morning." I said as she looked at my dress.
"You ready for tonight." She asked as I shrugged.
"I'm happy and pretty sad. So I guess I'll just wait for them to even out or something." I said as she sat next to me.
"Ah yes, Tom taking Sarah. But only as a friend of course." She said as I laughed gently.
"Yeah, but I'll be fine. I have to start getting ready." I said as she left me alone.
It took maybe 2 hours to curl my hair, do my makeup. I also managed to get my dress on all by myself.
"Babe, I'm gonna go now. I'll see you there." Tom said as I took a deep breath.
"Yeah."
"Okay, save me a dance." He said as I looked at the door.
"Of course." I replied as I felt him smile.
"Alright then, I love you." He said as I blinked.
"I love you too." I said as he left the door closing.
I wasn't going to cry as I looked in the mirror. My dark brown hair in curls down my shoulder.
"You can do this." I said to myself as I waited a few more minutes.
I went to the other area of the pack house and where I saw all the people in there.
Walking down the stairs as I saw Tom and Sarah in a vivid conversation.
"Oh you look so beautiful." Ellie said as I smiled.
"Thank you." I said as my dress hit the floor.
"Of course, there's Greg I have to go." She said as I smiled and she left my side.
I stood for a few minutes seeing all the happy couples and it wasn't happening for me. So I went up to the bar.
Teleporting out of the room and landing as I took a seat. The stars shining bright.
I must've been in there for two hours but I smelt him easily.
"Tom." I greeted as I didn't look the other way.
"Sydney." He replied "You look amazing."
"Thanks." I said back as he walked closer to me.
"Why aren't you downstairs." He asked as I shrugged.
"Not in the dancing mood." I said as I finally turned around.
He was wearing a white shirt with the tie to match my dress.
"That is something else." He said as his eyes went down my body.
"Thanks." I said as I turned back around.
"Why don't you come down with me, I do still have my dance don't I." He asked as I looked up.
"I'm not in the mood to dance, but I'll owe you one later." I said as he shook his head.
"Nonsense, you look way to beautiful to be up here alone." He said as I rolled my eyes.
"Isn't Sarah waiting." I asked as he rolled his eyes.
"She quite literally forced me to come find you, so no she isn't waiting." He said "It's only me."
"Why are you waiting." I asked as he looked up.
"Because my very beautiful girlfriend is being stubborn." He said as he stood in front of me.
"So go without me." I said as I rolled my eyes.
"I don't want to, so get in the dancing mood." He said as I faced the stars again.
He grabbed my hand as he pulled me out.
"What are you doing." I asked as he shrugged.
"I'm going to be the guy who gets a dance." He said as he lead me all the way out.
To the floor and smiled at his family.
"Help me." I mouthed as Ellie shrugged.
"Sorry." She mouthed back as he pulled me on the floor.
His arms wrapping around my waist as he pulled mine to his neck.
"Smile." Tom said "You look beautiful and I love you."
"And I love you." I said as he grinned at me.
"So smile, because we are going to have fun." He said as he spun me in a circle.
"That's it." I muttered as he smiled kissing me quickly.
"Yeah it is." He replied mocking me as I rolled my eyes.
"Be an ass." I said as he smiled keeping me close.
"Aww but I'm your ass." He said as I smiled softly.
"That you are." I agree as he grinned at me.

"I'm waiting for the day that Sydney leaves Tom." Julian said as I snorted loudly.
"I would love to see them deal with Sydney." Tom said "I've developed a keen ability to ignore her crazy."
"She's not that crazy." Greg said as I snorted.
"You know when you break your phone and you go to turn it in to get fixed." Tom said as we all nodded at him.
"Yeah." Ellie agreed as I took a drink of water.
"Then they say, we can't because of the fine print you didn't read." He mocked horribly.
"Okay and you pay a lot of money what does it matter." Greg said as he pointed.
"Sydney has lots of fine print, she's got like a freaking page worth." He said as I shrugged.
"But it's okay because she's pretty awesome and I kinda love her." Tom said as I smiled softly.
"Thanks for reading the fine print." I said as he grinned.
"Any time." Tom agreed as I kissed him quickly.
"I'm hungry, where's all the food." I asked looking in the fridge.
"Your stomach." Cole replied as Ellie rolled her eyes.
"That's what he used to tell me when I was pregnant with Tom." Ellie said as I nodded.
"I don't even want to imagine how much one eats pregnant with a alpha baby." I muttered as I looked around.
"A very large amount, I ate enough to feed me and Greg." Ellie said as she looked at me.
