Sterling's POV:

I smirked against her lips, wishing we could go somewhere more private. "And I love kissing you this way…" I murmured before pulling away gently. "Do you want to dance, beautiful?"

Eden’s POV:

I was glad Lucas forced some blush on my cheeks, because I knew my cheeks were tinted red from Sterling’s compliment.

“Might as well since were here,” I replied, shrugging nonchalantly as a way to get rid of the red on my cheeks.

Sterling's POV:

I chuckled and took her hands. "Well, come on, then! This is an amazing song to dance to," I declared, pulling her towards the dance floor.

Eden’s POV:

Sterling and I danced to a couple of songs. I wasn’t very good at dancing like my brother Lucas was, but I was decent. At least, in normal shoes I was. I didn’t know how many times I stepped on Sterling’s foot, but I sure hope it wasn’t bruised. Thankfully I didn’t step on him with the heel, but still, it must have hurt.

“I’m sorry,” I apologized. “I’m… not very good at dancing in heels. I was very adamant about not learning how to dance.”

Sterling's POV:

"Don't worry about it, babe. I'm not so great either," I chuckled, twirling my amazing girlfriend. "Well… Not like I'm sure Lucas is, anyway… My mother made me take classes, so I'm fairly well-versed in the waltz."

Eden’s POV:

I laughed as he twirled me.
“Luke shouldn’t even be in the topic of dancing,” I joked. My brother was… well, he was an amazing dancer. When he wasn’t dancing, he was this shy boy who blushed a lot, but when he was dancing, his personality would change drastically. The first time I experienced this change in behavior, I was shook. Luke looked so different when he was dancing. It was magical. “Can we get water? I’m parched.”

Sterling's POV:

"Of course. Anything for my queen!" I declared with a chuckle. Grinning, I pulled Eden closer to me and wrapped my arm around her waist, starting toward the refreshments table.

Eden’s POV:

I shook my head with a small smile on my lips as Sterling wrapped an arm around my waist. We walked towards the refreshments table where we got water. I felt the cold liquid go down my throat, feeling it refresh me.

“I should’ve brought an extra pair of shoes,” I muttered to myself before turning to Sterling. “I think it would be a good idea to meet your friends.”

I was still hesitant about it, but I knew I couldn’t keep pushing it back. One day or another, I would run into his friends. It was better to know who they were so I wouldn’t do something I would regret to them.

Sterling's POV:

I grinned down at her, placing a quick kiss to her lips. "Awesome! I'm sure you'll like them. They're pretty cool, though I'd warn you of JJ. He's sort of a… well, a player…" I said, shrugging a bit. "But you should be fine. He might try to hit on you, but if he knows how serious I am about you, you should be fine."

Eden’s POV:

I hummed in reply, intertwining our fingers together. I liked holding on to his hand. Compared to mine, it was large. I was small, and so were my hands, and any time we linked out hands together, mine disappeared into his. I liked that feeling.

“I’m positive I can handle a few flirts,” I answered, running a hand through my hair.

Sterling's POV:

"Good," I chuckled, lifting her hand to my lips and kissing it gently. "Because I'm not sure if he would be able to handle himself around you, babe. You look stunning tonight."

Eden’s POV:

A smile bloomed on my lips.
“You, Sterling, really know how to work that tongue of yours.”

Sterling's POV:

I smirked, leaning over to murmur in her ear. "And you know that well, don't you?" I teased, knowing it would get her to blush.

Eden’s POV:

It took me a second to understand what he meant before my face exploded into red. I felt heat creep up into my face as a shiver went down my spine. I dug my own grave. I should have said my words differently.

“I’m afraid I don’t,” I replied, hesitating, trying to seem like his words didn’t bother me when in fact, they did. A lot. “I don’t know it very well.”

I was really digging my own grave.

(this is so fun to read lmao)

(I’m glad you think so! 🤣)

Sterling's POV:

"Then we should change that, hm?" I murmured lowly in her ear, my breath fanning across her face. "But later. We don't need to give everyone a show, now do we?"

(this is so fun to read lmao)

(I’m glad you think so! 🤣)

(Lol. Thanks, Topaz! It's fun to write!)

Eden’s POV:

I responded by hiding my face in his chest, hitting it lightly out of embarrassment.
“I hate you…” I grumbled, embarrassed beyond words. Maybe I should stop trying to such a smartass with Sterling. It always leads him to mess with me.

Sterling's POV:

I chuckle and wrapped my arms around her, giving ger a light squeeze. "Nah, you know you love me," I joked with a smirk, leaning down to kiss her head. "Are you ready to go meet my friends?"

Eden’s POV:

I knew Sterling was joking when he said that, but I still couldn’t shake off the feeling that came crashing into me.

“Are you ready to go meet my friends?”

I nodded slowly, a little hazy. I didn’t trust my voice, so I simply grabbed his hand and nodded.

Sterling's POV:

She was so cute when she was flustered. Though maybe I should chill it on the suggestive comments a little… Not that I was afraid of acting her away. She knew what she was getting into when we started dating, but I didn't wan to accidentally go too far.

(Skip to what we have planned for after Prom? Or the other thing we have planned that could happen during prom?)

(XD Cool.
I apologize to our stalkers ahead of time for what we are about to do.)

Eden’s POV:

I looked into the mirror, carefully trying to remove the contact lenses from my eyes. I wanted to use my glasses today, mostly because my eyes were getting irritated.

I was considering using glasses instead of lens, but I also thought lens were a better option because glasses can break quite easily. Luke told me I should use glasses instead, but I always thought it was because he himself used them. Then I started finding lens annoying because of the carefulness involving them that I started to consider using them.

I looked into the mirror, fully expecting a blurry vision. The reflection in the mirror was blurry—blobs of black and white meeting my eyes. Sighing, I ran a hand through my hair.

Luke and I had been born with poor eyesight. As we grew older, it became worse. Luke takes much better care of himself than I do, so mine deteriorates faster than he does.

Speaking of which, Luke and I had plans to go out later in the day. Just us. It had been so long that I’d spent a day alone with my brother that I was looking forward to it. So, so much. Perhaps it was because we were twins, but I always looked forward to spending a day with him.

He was, of course, busy in the day. Doing what, I didn’t know. He wasn’t with Ashley, so I wondered where he was. Shaking my head, I reached for my glasses, perching them on my nose. I blinked at myself in the mirror, finding someone entirely different. This wasn’t a girl from months ago, suffering and entirely alone. She was unknown, but I welcomed her.

Shaking my head, I grabbed my bag and exited the bathroom. I was supposed to meet Sterling (we were supposed to watch a movie—his friends had invited me along), but it was when I reached my destination that I received a phone call that shattered my entire world.

(…I have no idea what to do…)

(Oh, well… I’lL do something about that…)

Eden’s POV:

I froze, my phone pressed against my ear as my mom’s cries filled my ears. I desperately wished it was something else, that the reason my mom was crying wasn’t because of what my dad just told me.

“Dad,” I stammered, fisting my free hand tightly in my shirt. I looked at Sterling before immediately turning away, walking away from the group. “What do you mean? Please tell me it’s a joke.”

It wasn’t. I didn’t hear wrong. Panic hit me full force. I couldn’t believe it. We were supposed to spend the evening together, we were supposed to eat dinner together like the normal siblings we were.

So why? Why did this happen?

“Where are you? Where is he? How is he?” I immediately shook my head. “No, tell me where are you. I’m coming right away. Did you tell Lee? I’ll call her. I’ll see you there in ten.”

I immediately dialed up Ashley, pacing around, running a hand through my hair in distress. Ashley picked up the call immediately, her cheerful voice filling my ears. If it was any normal day, I would have felt a little calm hearing her voice. It wasn’t a normal day. I squeezed my eyes shut.

“Lee, meet me at //insert hospital name//,” I told her as best as I could. “I’ll see you there.”
