This weekend I'm going to Brooke's Christmas party. It's Friday night to Saturday morning, but mom say I may not be able to spend the night. Depends on wether she needs me to do her shit or not. Shocker.

I put my hair half up half down, threw on an ugly Christmas sweater, leggings, and uggs. I put on makeup with excessive highlight and blush compared to what I usually do. When I finished getting ready I walked downstairs, hoping nobody would ask me to do something.

"Kenz! Can you come here?" Maddie called out.

I quickly contemplated wether I should close the door or not. I was halfway out of it. But if I were to do that, I'd get in trouble and wouldn't be able to go to the party.

"Yes Maddie?" I said as I entered her room. Her room was amazing. Expensive furniture and decorations, lights, trophies, makeup, paintings, every girls dream. I had an undecorated plain room with only a bed and closet. My bathroom was the same, it just had the essentials.

"Can you make me a snack?" She asked. I rolled my eyes discretely.

"Fine. What do you want?"

"Hmmm" she contemplated. "Apples and cheese."

"Fine."

I walked back down the stairs and sliced up a crisp red apple, and then sliced some cheddar cheese. I put it on a plate and brought it up to Maddie.

"Here you go" I said.

"Thanks" she replied, not even looking at me as she was distracted by her phone. I ran out the door before anyone could ask me anything else. I ran across the street to Brooke's house and walked right in the door.

"BROOKE IM HERE!" I shouted. No reply. I walked up the stairs to see what was going on. I saw Brooke lying on her bed, fast asleep. She was dressed for the party, had makeup on and hair done, and was holding a piece of paper. I slipped the paper through her fingers and found that it was a checklist for the party.

"BROOKE KOSINSKI GET UP!" I yelled and jumped on the bed. Not on her, but beside her. She shot up in horror and I laughed.

"Dammit Kenz!" She shouted angrily, but giggled a few seconds later.

"Come on!" I started, "let's get this party started!"

Tons of people came. A bunch from school, dance, and Tyler even showed up. I spent most of the night with dance friends, but he kept eyeing me from across the room. He gestured for me to go over there, so I politely excused myself and did so.

"Hey" he said. "How are you?"

"Hey, im good. You?" I replied, opening up a peppermint kiss.

"Good. So uh, wanna go sit?" He asked me.

"Sure, there's a couch over there" I responded.

We walked over to the light blue couch and sat town. I sat criss cross facing him while he sat forward, but looking at me. We talked for a very long time about our lives and our dreams. There were times where I had to stop my stories so that I wouldn't reveal my abuse or self harm. He locked his eyes with mine throughout the whole conversation, smiling with interest. Wow... he's actually listening? Nobody but Brooke listens to what I have to say. After awhile, he stood up and held out his hand. I grabbed it as he pulled me up. Without words, we went into the kitchen to get some food. He grabbed some Christmas Cookies, gave me a few, and then made us both hot chocolate. We ate our snack in silence until he opened his mouth and said...

"Mackenzie... this may sound cheesy but... You're incredibly beautiful, have a great personality, and I honestly really, really love you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

On the outside I was calm. I smiled and said "Yes, I would be more than happy to." On the inside there were fireworks and I was honestly just shocked. We hugged and then went on the dance floor to dance.
