Chapter 1: Prom's Night
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hello," Ruth said as soon as she answered the call beaming with smiles
"Hello beautiful," came Nick's seductive voice"Ready, for prom?" he asked"Yes,' she replied blushing, "Maybe," she added dropping herself on the bed."Tonight, will be wonderful, I promise you," he said"You have the red dress," he asked"Yes, but my parents won't let me walk out of the house dressed like that," she said in resignation and turned to lie on her side but jumped out of fright when she came face to face with Chantel who was standing with her arms crossed at the entrance to her room."Let me call you back," she said and disconnected the call without waiting for an answer"How long have you been standing there?" she asked"Long enough to know you want to lose your virginity tonight," she said, "At prom," she addedRuth freaked out hearing her say that because she knew, she will tell their parents next. She tried to correct her."Chantel, I like Nick and he likes me but we have both agreed to wait till we are married," Ruth said"Besides, it is just prom," she added sounding serious and Chantel started laughing"What? What is funny," Ruth asked with a frown"O dear sister, it is so fun playing with you. Eighteen years of living together and still can't tell when I am serious and when I am playing?" Chantel asked with a smile"Chantel, there is no difference. You always play the opposite card looking at the person's reaction," she replied"I beg you, tonight is very important to me. No tricks and no funny pranks," she begged and Chantel rolled her eyes"Okay, have fun at prom," she said and was about to leave but Ruth grabbed her hand"Is that a promise," Ruth asked"Sure, it is," Chantel replied nonchalantly and left the room.Ruth closed her door shut and wonder how she opened the door without her realizing it. She opened her wardrobe and grab the beautiful red dress Nick had bought for her a day before. It was a gown with a plunging neckline with mesh insert, a corset bodice with sheer accents adorned with hot stones, an open back, a thigh-high slit, and a train.She imagined herself in the dress dancing with Nick in the centre of the hall while everyone watch them. In her imagination, she hugged the dress swaying her body in a dance to a rhythm in her mind only to open her eyes and Chantel was standing in her room again."Eh!" She shrieked jumping in fright."Oh, so does the dress you plan on wearing for prom," Chantel said as Ruth quickly put the dress back into the coat and hugged it in her wardrobe."No, what gave you such an impression?" Ruth asked with a frown, wondering how Chantel had entered her room again without her hearing anything."Well, don't forget I am your sister and have known you for eighteen years, Ruth," she pointed out and crossed her hand on her chest."It is not for prom," Ruth said to her"Well, with a back train like that, I wonder how you will sneak out of the house wearing it," she pointed out and Ruth started thinking about it too.She planned on wearing it under a dress and once she was out of the house, she will take the dress off. The back train will show."It is already 6 pm and I should be getting ready," she said and walked out of her room with Ruth's eyes fixated on her back as she sway her hips left and right until she varnished at the end of the hall.Ruth angrily walked towards her door, shut and locked it before going to take her bath. After taking her bath, she dried her hair and styled it, holding it up in a curly ponytail with some strands of hair dangling. She did light makeup and applied lip balm. She looked at the dress Nick had bought her one more time before going for the dress her dad bought for her. A three-quarter ruffle sleeve deep blue cocktail dress.She stepped out of the room when she heard a car drive into their compound. She rushed down the stairs to see her father receive a young gentleman at the door."She is here," said her father and Ruth frowned seeing the person at the door.She slowly walked to him realizing it was one of Nick's friends"Damien, what are you doing here? Where is Nick?" she asked and stretched her neck to look outside but no sign of Nick."Relax, he asked me to pick you," he said with a smile"Okay, let me get my sister," she said and Damien nodded but before she could move away from the door her father said over his shoulder"Your sister left with some friends," he said as he climbed the stairs."Oh!," Ruth said and hesitated but left with Damien.It was a silent drive to the school. In the car, Ruth wanted to call Nick but realized she didn't have her phone with her. She searched her purse but found nothing."Did you leave something?" Damien asked"My phone, I forgot my phone," she said worriedly"Sorry, but don't worry, I am taking you to Nick," he said and smiled.Ruth smiled weakly and turned to look out the window. They arrived at the school and were greeted by two ladies who offered them a glass of drink."You are supposed to drink before you go inside," they said in unisonDamien emptied his glass but Ruth held her own in hand as she search for Nick. The two girls continue to urge her to drink."You can't go inside unless you empty the glass," they said excitedlyRuth wanted to go inside so she just gulp it down knowing it was alcohol but it was in a small glass. Just one small glass won't be a problem. She thought and squinted her face as the liquid burned her throat down. The girls left to do the same to others who have arrived at the prom.They entered the hall with loud music and dancing but there was still no sign of Nick."Where is he?" she yelled due to the loud music"What?" Damien leaned towards her to listen"I said where is Nick?" she repeated,"Oh, he is over here. Come with me," he replied and led her upstairs to a room with few students."Open the door," he said after going up another staircase.Ruth opened the door and smiled. It was a dinner setting for two. She walked in admiring the setting.Nicholas Brown, well known by all as Nick, is the son of a billionaire and hence capable of doing anything he wants as long as he wanted. She was not surprised to see one of the rooms in the school had been decorated like that.Looking at the decoration, she wished she had put on the dress Nick bought for her. She walked around the room for a while waiting to see what surprise Nick had for her. The bright light went out and the deemed red light came on accompanied by cool music. She smiled but felt a little off and it was followed by an airy feel around her but her head landed on a broad chest. She smiled and hugged the person."Nick, you are here," she whispered feeling a bit weak"Hmm," came his reply which made her smile.She felt she was being moved to the rhythm of the cool song being played. She composed herself and tried to stand and danced.Meanwhile, downstairs, the students were happily chatting, dancing and having fun. The prom king and queen were announced and the party continued.The next day, Ruth woke up with a terrible headache. She sat on her bed trying to find the source of her headache but realize she could not remember anything. Her phone buzz snapping her out of her thought. Her gaze shifted to the sound of the phone and she realize it was on her bedside table.She picked it with one hand, as the other hand held her head. She unlocked the screen and saw multiple calls and messages from Nick."Why will Nick call her if they were together? or was it while she was on her way to meet him?" she thought as she opened one of the messages.Her eyes widened and she sprang to life immediately. She quickly dialled Nick's number but realized the call won't go through"Has he blocked her?" she thought wondering what she did and what happened the previous night at prom.She opened the other messages and with each message she read, her heart hurt and her whole body started tremblingShe dialled his number several times but it won't go through. She went to her messages again and read them one after the ofterMessage 1How can you do this to me? I honestly loved you. If you didn't want a relationship with me you could have said soMessage 2I choose prom to be our engagement night. I waited for you for three years. I did everything you asked of me. Why will you do that?Message 3I thought you were different. Ruth why?Message 4After graduation tomorrow, I am leaving, It is over Ruth"Ruth clutched the phone holding it to her chest as her tears flow. She could not remember a single thing from the night before. She recalled leaving home with Damien, nothing more.Related chapters

Ruth clutched the phone holding it to her chest as her tears flow. She could not remember a single thing from the night before. She recalled leaving home with Damien, nothing more.She went to her sister's room and knocked gently on the door. She entered when she heard Chantel's voice asking her to come inside. Ruth opened the door and stood in front of it after closing it behind her. "Why do you look like cat shit?" asked Chantel who looked at her briefly and continued fixing her dress"What happened yesterday?" Ruth asked and Chantel paused"What do you mean?" She asked looking at Ruth"At prom, what happened and how did I get home?" she asked "Oh! about that," she started and continued working on her dress."Well, I am not entirely sure, because I left in the middle of the party to the movies. That was what Jane and I wanted to do," Chantel replied"Did something happen?" she askedRuthe sat on the bed and her tears began to fall. She had come to her sister with the hope of findi

Ruth collapsed into Chantel's arms crying and Chantel stared at Damien with a questioning look. "Let's go," Chantel said to Ruth and led her away from the place. Damien stood watching the two ladies leave and didn't know what to do. He has no recollection of what happened the previous night. He had picked Ruth from her house and he drove to the school for proms. "We got out of the car and they gave us a drink," he tried to recall. "The drink," he repeated trying to remember what happened after taking the drink. He realized he could not recall anything beyond that. "The drink," he repeated and decided to go to Nick's house. He had already concluded there was something in the drink given to him and Ruth. Nick will never leave Ruth to walk alone. It was very surprising for Damien to see Ruth walking alone when he knew Nick came for graduation. It was very obvious he had broken up with Ruth but why is the question and why will he blacklist him too. Damien got a cab and headed

Back at the hospital, Mrs Brown has fallen asleep and Ruth sat by her side praying for a miracle.

She rested her head on the bedside holding her mum's hand as she sat on the chair close to the bed praying. The doctor walked in and asked her to come with him. She looked at her mother briefly before stepping out of the ward with the doctor. "Doctor, how is my father? Did anything happen?" Ruth asked scared but preparing for the worse "Relax, the operation was successful. Your father is out of danger. We have a charity foundation here. I would need you to fill out some forms for me. They will look at your situation and provide you with the needed support," the doctor announced "Thank you, doctor. I appreciate this a lot," she said with

"No I know what I saw," he said and proceeded to his room.Back at the hospital, Chantel went to see their father and Ruth tried to eat something after Chantel's coaxing. At ICU, Chantel stood behind the door looking at Mr Brown from the glass window. She frowned wondering how he was still alive. He had wanted to kidnap one of them to torment and run the other person bankrupt but this outcome was also good. She just needs to cover her tracks so nothing is traced to her. She left the ICU and joined her sister in the ward. At 10 pm, Chantel left for home with what was left of the food as they agreed to take turns spending the night with their parents. Chantel called Ruth to inform her she had safely arrived at home and told her she will be at the hospital by 8 am in the morning with breakfast. She took a shower after the call and lie on the bed.

She went straight to the ward. "How is mummy today?" she enquired walking towards the bedside with her eyes fixated on her mother who was still sleeping.

I will find out tomorrow," she said and entered the kitchen to prepare something for lunch.After lunch, Chantel stepped out of the house informing Ruth she was going for a job interview. Ruth stayed back home and went online browsing the internet and applying for some companies based on her qualification. With each application she submitted, she prayed in her heart she will be called for an interview. She was not sure how much savings Chantel had but she was gradually running out of money.
