Chapter 111: Imperilment
EMMA

Maybe guilt was the reason I didn’t protest with him, the reason I didn’t question him when he said I should go. I came to a halt, before twirling but I no longer found him there, he was gone like the wind, the tears threatened to fall once again and they did, the cold substance sliding down my cheeks.
I knew of Dace’s abilities to detect scent. Maybe he caught a whiff of what happened, and I turned on my heels, but it still didn’t change the fact that he made me feel worse than I have already been. Why did he come if he would only let me go again? I sniffed, this was far worse than how I felt all this time.
I wiped the tears that slid down my cheeks the moment I got to the hall, my sniffs echoed as I helplessly tried to wipe my tears away, they just kept coming, well I should thank the loud music or else everyone would know Emma Adams was crying, I have had enough embarrassment for today, I should find Owen and tell him I wanna go home, coming to prom was a big mistake. My phone vibrates.
I quit my steps, unzipping my purse but then a girl bumped into me, almost knocking me off if I hadn’t kept my balance.
"H-Hey!" I called but she kept running in a panic. She was probably drunk, her clothes were a mess too, did she have a fight or something? My phone gained my attention once again and I slid the answer button when I saw Owen’s name.
"Owen-"
"Emma, where are you?!"
"Owen?"
"Where are you, Emma?!"
