Aided by an Angel
Chapter Two
Miracle's POV:
The seven of us waltzed into the Night in Paris themed prom; how
original, I know. My arm was laced around Zac's, as was the
rest of the girls who were being escorted their boyfriends and
dates. The strings of lights were hung around the ballroom above
our heads as I looked up at the black ceiling, speckled with
small, shiney lights. Zac poked my side and pointed at other
decorations that were just marvelous. My perfect, white teeth
were shown off as I giggled and smiled with my friends; if I
tried not to, maybe I could actually have a good time
tonight?
In the midst of my joyus state, I rotated my head
back to see Parker taking slow strides behind us; his hands
shoved in his pocket as he smiled at his shoes. I really wish he
would've asked someone to be his date tonight because I hated
to see him so lonesome. "Hey, Styles?" I shouted
behind me to Parker. His green eyes met mine and his luscious,
dark curls bounced as he walked.
I stretched my hand back towards him after his eyes
questioned me for a moment. "No, I'm okay. Go on."
He motioned me to the photographer where a man was taking
pictures of couples on a backdrop of the Eiffel Tower. Zac had
started to notice our conversation and I felt his grip grow
tighter around my arm. Pretending like I didn't notice
Zac's reaction, I stopped in the middle of walkway and
stomped my foot down.
"Get over here, Parker." I demanded his
hand to be intertwined with mine and, reluctantly, he obeyed me.
He wrapped his warm fist around my knuckles and let a slight
chuckle escape his lips as he did so. When it was our turn to get
our picture taken, I had my one arm linked with Zac and my other
linked to Parker.
I knew that this made Zac uncomfortable; he never
liked the idea of me spending too much time around Parker, even
though they were so close. I do understand where Zac's
jealousy is rooted from, though. Sometimes I do get the feeling
that Parker's actions are based off of an attraction
towards me, but then again he couldn't possibly feel that way
about me. He was my best friend and nothing more and Zac just had
to accept that.
Throughout the night, I tried to get Parker to
dance with some of my friends who also came without dates, but he
turned down every single girl. Zac never left my side,
fearing that I'd go over to Parker, alone. I think one
of the reason's our relationship isn't as good as it
should be is because Zac has a suffocating personality where
as I enjoy my freedom.
The DJ changed the atmosphere by playing a slower
and older song; 'This' by Ed Sheeran boomed through the
speakers and made me smirk to myself. It brought back
memories from my Ireland days. "Okay now, gentleman, go
ask another lady to dance with you. Don't be
shy!" I slid my hands down Zac's shoulders and gave
him a quick smile.
"You alright with this, Babe?" I nodded to
Zac who's eyes were transfixed on Parker, who was walking
towards me; was he going to ask me to dance? My
boyfriend's fingers grabbed my chin and forced my lips on
his. He left a hard, sloppy kiss on my lips before leaving
my side. Quickly I forgot about Zac and glanced over to
Parker; his finger pointed in the air, motioning to the song
that was playing.
"Bring back memories?" He laughed as
he got closer and closer to me. Before I knew it, his hands
were on my hips, pulling my body in to his. Like a natural
reaction, I swung my arms around his neck and began to
twirl the curls at the nape of his neck.
"How could I forget? That was so much
fun." Ed came to Ireland to play a few concerts when we were
all kids and when he was there, he visited Niall. As a
treat, he invited all of us kids to his concert in Dublin; Parker
and I were the most excited because we were the only two
that were completely obsessed with music like our fathers.
Meeting Ed was the greatest night of my life and it comforting to
look back and share that memory with Parker.
"I swear, when you started crying I
couldn't control myself." His dimples dug deep into his
cheeks as he laughed at me.
"I didn't cry! That's a lie and you
know that!" The couples around us were giving us dirty looks
which made us laugh even more. I saw Zac dancing
with Ashlie Marc, from my anatomy class, over Parker's
shoulder. It sparked a little, green monster inside of me when I
saw his thumb stroking her exposed skin. "I love this
song." Trying to forget about Ashlie and Zac, I rested my
head on Parker's shoulder; I could faintly hear his
heart beating from inside his chest.
"I know you do. Remember when
you'd used to sing it?" My skin blushed red as I
recalled my braces and bulky glasses back in freshman
year when all I wanted to do was be a singer like my
Daddy. "I wish you still would. I love your
voice."
"Yeah, and you're full of crap."
I snorted at him even though I was happy that someone believed in
me a little. Maybe I'd tell him my deepest secret
tonight; my biggest ambition for my life.
"That's a lie," He kissed the top of
my head just as the song ended; everyone clapped, but us.
"And you know that."
