This is a seven chapter saga divided into three stories, due to the overall length.
Chapter 6: Mary Ellen's Coming Out Party
"Damn, I hate taffeta!" I remarked, squeezing myself into the hand-me-down prom dress.
"Oh shut up Barb and let me fix these," bitched my older sister, straightening the broad straps over my shoulders. "The way you fill out this old thing, people will never guess I ever wore it," she grimaced.
"I still don't know why I can't get a new gown. I mean, it's the last dance of my senior year!" I pouted, glaring at the floor-length blue gown in the mirror.
"Don't ask me; ask Mom" Jean mumbled.
"Hey Babs, you look great β kinda like Jean, except with a figure!" Chided Butch, poking his chest out in the doorway to our room.
"Get out of here you shit!" The older, flat-chested Jean yelled back at my brother. "What time is Tommy coming?"
"He should be here any minute," I replied, wishing it was anybody but Tommy taking me the last dance.
It had been three months since Uncle Paul fucked me and the way he acted that day I decided to stay away from the Grove. Since I hadn't heard from him, I assumed I must have done something wrong. Considering he was a relative, I figured not seeing him was a mixed blessing. I knew a relationship with him would never work out, but I sure missed that glorious cock in my pussy.
Always punctual, Tommy arrived exactly at 8:00 pm and we were soon off to the dance. Tommy and I were no longer really an item. It was more a matter of convenience that he escorted me as his date. Almost as soon as we arrived Tommy was off with his buddies, most likely spiking the punch or up to some sort of immature activity. I loved to dance and soon had enough partners to pick from.
I was generally having a good time, but kept glancing over my shoulder, in hopes of seeing my Uncle Paul show up. He never did. As time wore on, my dance partners paired off with other girls, leaving me on my lonesome. That's when I caught sight of Mary Ellen standing guard by the punch bowl. Walking toward her, I immediately saw how tipsy she was, as she teetered from one side to the other.
"Hi Barbie; see you finally ran out of guys," she laughed.
"Hi Mary, yeah it seems so. Where's your date?" I asked.
"Didn't bring one. Actually, I was hoping Paul would bring me, but he was busy," she claimed.
"I see, that's too bad," I commiserated and poured myself some spiked punch.
"I see Tommy's on the loose," she commented, pulling her strapless gown up.
"Yep, I'm afraid he's a lost cause," I smiled, as Bobby Hatfield started singing Unchained Melody.
"Looks like it's just you and me then," she manufactured a smile and put her hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah well, I think I need to find another way home," I said ignoring her foggy state.
"Hey, I've got my car, if you need a lift?" She offered.
Scanning the room, Tommy was no where to be found and I was ready to go. I agreed to go with Mary Ellen, under the condition that I drive. She eagerly agreed and we slipped out of the school auditorium unnoticed.
"The first thing we need to do is sober you up, don't you think?" I suggested, as Mary's taffeta gown slid across the car seat uncomfortably next to me.
"Whatever you say Honey; you're in charge. You don't mind if I call you Honey do you?" She cooed, running her hand through my blond locks.
"Jesus, you ARE fucked up," I said, pulling her hand away and starting the car. Pulling out the parking lot, I wondered if I shouldn't just drop her off and line up another ride. As I contemplated that idea, I saw her reach into the glove box. Pulling out a silver flask, she threw off the chained cap and took a healthy swig.
"Yeah I'm gonna get all fucked up tonight and so are you!" She shot back and shoved the flask at my face.
"That's it; I'm taking you home!" I stated and looked to turn the car around.
Suddenly I heard a snap and turned to see she was holding a knife in her left hand inches from my face. Lowering the 4-inch switchblade to my neck, she had my frozen attention immediately.
"No such thing Honeychild. You're taking us to the Grove, so I can get fucked!" She demanded and held the blade point next to my throat.
"Okay, Okay Mary β just take it easy. Whatever you say," I whispered.
