19 years 2 months and it's her prom night

19 years 2 months and it's her prom night

The school gym hall was full; the whole year had turned out for prom. The band was busy setting up whilst everyone lined up to get there prom picture taken. Finally the band started and everyone made there way to the dance floor.  

Brad:  Want to dance?
Andrea: Yeah, love to. (She said with a smile on her face.)
Brad: Great!  They began to dance.

Melinda was looking around the room and finally caught a glimpse at her daughter. She smiled to herself and she couldn’t believe that her eldest child was 18 and attending her senior prom. Melinda quickly snapped out of her daze when a couple of seniors approached to get some punch. 

Brad: I’m glad you came, you know. (as he looked into Andrea’s eyes whilst they danced)
Andrea: Really! I had no idea you would be! (she smiled back at him)
(They both laughed) 
They continued to dance. But suddenly something caught Andrea’s attention. A bright light flashed in front of her, Andrea quickly looked over to her mom to see if she had noticed anything, but Melinda was standing talking to a few other parents who had volunteered to chaperone. She stopped and stared, for a minute. 

Brad: Is everything okay? (He said worryingly)
Andrea: Eh… yeah, sorry. (She said unconvincingly)
Brad: Are you sure?
Andrea: I think, a bit a fresh air would do some good! I’ll be back in minute!
Brad: Wait a second, I’ll come with! 

Just as hey were leaving the hall, the lights started to flicker and a few people started to scream. The principle took to the stage, interrupting the band, and took over the microphone. 

Principle: Everyone calm down… the janitors are taking a look at the problem, now if you all can just stay in the hall until the problem is fixes, that world be great.

 Melinda looked around, something was missing, someone was missing, Andrea. She looked around the hall several times, just to make sure her daughter wasn’t amongst the groups of people. But no she wasn’t, Melinda stated to worry, something could have happened when the lights went out. Where could she be?  Melinda reached for her cell, but then put it away. What were the chances of Andrea having her cell with her, she always forgot it!
As Melinda made her way in to the corridor she noticed two people making there way further up the corridor, she hide behind the corridor to watch.
