Don't Rain On My Parade

| Tony's POV|

Once I get home form Taylor's house, I finally wash off Mike's blood from my hand. I jump on my bed and stare at the ceiling. My mind racing. Tay isn't mad. That's a plus. I'm suspended. That's not a plus. I mean, I don't mind staying home for the rest of the week and all, but how the hell am I going to tell my mother? Unless the school already has. Well, I'll know when she gets home.

"TONY!" I hear as the front door getting slammed shut. Moms home."Get down here this instance!"

I jump off my bed and head downstairs. This should be fun. "Hey mom."

She looks at me with a questioning look. "You don't look like you got into a fight." She looks me up and down.

"Oh, you heard." I rub the back of my neck nervously.

"The school called. What were you thinking? You've never done anything like this before."

I shrug my shoulders. "Some guy was talking about Tay. I got pissed at what he had said. And I... I punched him... a few times." I look down at my hands.

"Oh I love that Taylor. She's so nice and beautiful." It was easy getting her distracted. Really easy.

"Speaking of Tay, I just remembered I gotta go call her." I point to the stairs.

She nods in approval. I run up the steps two at a time. Jumping onto my bed back first, I pull out my phone.

"Hey." Tay picks up.

"Hey." I'm happy to hear her voice.

"Mike came over." Shit. "He was wondering why you punched him."

"What did you tell him?"

"I told him that I didn't know. Then he said that he had brought me up in the conversation thats when you got pissed..." You could tell by the way in her voice she wasn't telling me something.

"What else?"

"Umm... I kinda told him that we like each other and that's why you got pissed off and stuff. That's when he left."

"Wait, 'each other'? So does that mea-."

"That means I like you too Tony. A lot actually." She interrupts. I was shocked. In art she kissed me but never actually told me her feelings.

There was a bit of a long pause. "Tony?" She sounded concerned.

"So does this mean that you and Mike aren't... you know, together?"

"We never really were in the first place. Not officially at least."

"Oh. Mhm, I don't know if this is a bad time or what, but would you like to go out with me? Maybe get diner, watch a movie sometime?" I was so nervous.

"I think that would be great." I could hear her smiling over the phone.

"Friday?"

"Friday, seven o'clock. Pick me up."

"You got it." I grin ear to ear. "And, Tay?"

"Yeah?"

"I just gotta get this off my chest. But, I'm not sure if this is really to early, or three years late, but... I think I'm in love with you." There was a long pause.

"I think I love you, too, Tony." We both start to laugh a little.

"Well," I sigh. "Ill talk to you later."

"Goodbye, Tony."

"Bye."

I hang up the phone. "Yes!" I yell throwing my fist into the air.

|Taylor's POV|

I hang up. Oh my God. I think I have a date with my best friend. I can't believe it. I call up Jaime, who had left about an hour ago.

"Wow," he picks up. "Not even an hour and you already miss me?"

"Ha ha." I say sarcastically. "Guess what?!" I'm freaking out about a boy. I feel like a total girl. Which isn't that bad considering I am a girl.

"Mmm... Chicken butt?"

"No, Hime! Guess who just called me?!" I squeal.

"Calm down. I don't know. Who?"

"Tony."

"Well, yeah he called. Your friends. Why are you acting like a crazy girl?"

"He asked me out." There was a really long silence. "Hime? You still there?"

"Yeah. That's... umm, good for you two." You could tell from his tone he didn't like the idea of it.

"You don't approve?"

"No, I do. It's just..." He trails off.

"Hime? Tell me."

He sighs. "Its just weird. My two best friends dating. You shouldnt care what I think any way. It's your life, live it the way you want."

"Yeah I know it's going to be weird at first, but I'm sure we'll get use to it in time. And I always care about what you think! Your my best friend way shouldn't I?"
"Beacuse you know I don't think that you two would be the best idea. What happens when you break up and don't wanna talk to each other anymore? I'm still both of your best friend and that means we'd all still be hanging out together." He does have a point. " But, I just want you to be happy. So if that's what your going to do, then I'm not going to be the one holding you back. And also, I know that Mike will not be to happy about this, and I'm scared he might start a fight with Tony again."

I sigh. "Well, I don't know what we'll do if we end up breaking up. But I'm happy with him. And we'll keep it on the down low for a while and avoid Mike."

"Okay. But I don't wanna bring you down. I know your excited. You haven't gone out with someone since Jordan."

The memories still haunt me of him. Jordan was my boyfriend for not even a week in the ninth grade. He had tried to kiss me and then sneezed right in my face. I broke up with him right then and there. I've been scared ever since. "Oh please don't remind me." I beg.

"ACHOO!!" Jaime pretends to sneeze and starts laughing really hard. I wince at the sound.

"Well I gotta go! See ya tomorrow!"

"See ya then." He says still laughing.

We both hang up.

Thursday went by pretty quickly and quietly with out Tony or Mike. There were a few stairs. Vic says that Mike hadn't told him why they had a fight and I told him why. He was pretty speechless at first but then said that he understood way Tony would do that making us laugh.

But today, Friday, has dragged out like crazy. Probably because I can't wait for tonight with Tony. Himes still not too excited about the idea but says he'll get use to it.

Right now I'm trying to figure out what to wear. I'm not sure if I should go formal or something simple. Surprisingly, my mom is here helping me pick out the outfit. I haven't told her about the fight but it was a little weird trying to explain that me and my best friend are now going out.

"Better safe than sorry." My mom walks in my room with one of her tight black formal dresses.

"Really? We're going formal?" This is the most bonding time we had spent together in a long time without one of us crying.

"Yes now try it on." She hands it to me and I go to the bathroom, slipping out of my sweatpants and Blink 182 shirt and slide into the dress. With my back to the mirror, I turn around revealing myself to myself. The hem of the dress had reached just above my knees. It's strapless, showing off my bra straps and what I feel is to much skin.

I never wear dresses. It was never really my style. But once I examine myself in the mirror, I start to wonder why I don't . For once I like the way I looked. The fabric was tight in all the right places showing off my curves, that I didn't know could look this good, my boobs and especially my butt.

My bracelets still on my wrist don't really match but Im still wearing then. I turn to look at the back. It dips pretty low, showing even more skin.

I walk back to my room to show mom. Just from walking down the hall I get shivers from the air hitting my legs and going up my dress.

When I walk in she looks up at me. "Oh my God." Her jaw drops. "You look amazing!" She pulls me into a hug. "But now it's time for make up and hair!" She grabs my arm and pulls me into her room, sitting Me down in front of her makeup desk.

"Not to much." I warn her.

"Darling, you don't need that much." She winks and starts doing my makeup. Normally I would just throw on mascara and eye liner. But she was doing everything. Lipstick, eyeshadow, and my usual mascara and eye liner.

She has my back to the mirror so I can't see myself and I'm dying to see. She starts to curl my hair with the curling iron. I've never curled my hair. I haven't really been interested in playing with different styles of either clothing or hair. It was pretty fun feeling like a real girl getting my makeup done and everything.

Once she's done she turns me around. I look at myself in the mirror. I never actually believed thoughs people on the tv shows that say they can't recognize themself after a makeover, but right now, that's exactly what I felt like.

My lips a stange color of a purplie-red and my eyeshadow was a few shades of purple that matched my hair that curled all the was passed my shoulders.

"Wow." I brush my hand against my face making sure it was actually me. "Thank you!" I jump up and hug my mom again with my curls bouncing.

"Your very welcome." She hands me some shiny black heels.

"I don't know if I could walk in these." I say holding them.

"Just try them on."

Reluctantly, I sit down to slide them on my feet. They feel strange compared to my usual vans. I stand up slowly then take a little step towards her, my arms stretched out wide.

"Sweety, your not going to be walking like that all night. Just try to walk down the hall the closest to normal you can."

I walk down the hall almost falling down a few times. But I get the hang of it surprisingly quickly. Then the door bell rings.

I look up to see a smile spread on my mom's face. "He's here!" She seems more excited then I am.

"Im not ready!" I whisper to her.

"Yes you are! Now grab your phone and wallet and come downstairs." She rushs down the stairs and answers the door.

I go to my room and grab my things. I walk Down the stairs as carefully as possible so I wouldn't break anything.

Once I reach the the ground, I hear them in the living room.

"Hey, Tony." I say walking in. He turns around and his eyes grow as he sees me.

"H-hey. You... uumm, look amazing." He walks over and gives me a hug.

"Thank you." I look at my mom and she winks at me then turns into the kitchen.

"You ready?" He smiles brightly.

"yeah." I smiled back. "Bye mom!" I call to her.

"Bring her back by eleven!" She shouts back.
