Tomorrow is prom and I laid in bed wondering how liv was feeling. She seemed kinda bummed all day yesterday at school. She had gotten a dress for it but now it was going to waste because I don't want to go. I can't do this to her can I? I can't make her miss her senior prom because of me. Even if I decided to go I didn't have a tux or anything prepared to make liv feel special. I texted her;

El: Hey love, how are you feeling?

Liv: I'm ok, You won't believe what I did.

El: Let me guess you bought new shoes that you didn't need? 😂

Liv: haha :| very funny el but no I cut my hair 😳

El: Whattttttttt? What made you do that?

Liv: Well I had a hair appointment booked for prom and even though we're not going I still wanted a change so I just decided to go and then I made a rash decision and cut it off.

El: That's what made me text you actually, prom.

Liv: Only prom made you text me? Not cause you miss me 😢?

El: of course I missed you liv but you know what I mean. I've been feeling so guilty that I'm depriving you of your senior prom, your moment to shine.

Liv: Well don't feel guilty I don't want to go if you're not there so it wouldn't be fun anyway. It's not that big of a deal El. I swear!

El: Liv you were literally so bummed yesterday I could see it in your face. I don't want to do that to you. I want you to go and have fun.

Liv: like I said El it wouldn't mean anything if you weren't there to be my knight and shining armor ;) hey let's just drop it okay.

El: No, as bad as it's gonna hurt that mom and dad aren't here to see me get dressed and take the loml I'm going to take you because you deserve that.

Liv: Elliot no we don't have to go I don't want you to go through all of that just for a silly night.

El: it's not a silly night it's prom Liv your time to shine and be beautiful. So what do you say liv, Go to prom with me?❤️

Liv: Yes Elliot I would love that but are you sure?

El: I'm sure like you said love is sacrifice so that's what I'm doing. Okay beautiful I've got to get somethings sorted out so I'll talk to you later I love you. 😘

Liv: I love you so much Elliot and you don't know what this means to me, again I love you. I'm so lucky

El: I love you Liv and I'm the lucky one ;)

After I texted liv saying I would take her to prom I immediately felt stressed, I had no tux no corsage how was I suppose to get this all done in one afternoon. I heard the door downstairs close so I knew Don was home. I went downstairs and greeted him in the kitchen. "Elliot son, what's up?" I responded "Nothing much just a little stressed," He looked at me long faced and said "Why are you stressed? And I found out proms tomorrow are you going?" I sighed and said "Actually that's what I'm stressed about. I wasn't going to go at first because mom or dad wouldn't be here to see me so it kinda felt like a waste but then I realized I couldn't do that liv it's her senior and she wasn't going to go without me. Now proms tomorrow and I have no suit no corsage for I have nothing." Don smiled and said "I wish you would of told me this sooner but come on get your jacket." I looked at him confused "Where are we going?" He chuckled and said "We're going to get you a nice suit and some shoes. Then we've got to figure our the color of liv's dress so we can get a corsage to match." I looked him in the eye and said "You don't have to do to that for me don I-I'll figure something-" He cut me off and said "Of course I have to do that for you, you are my son now Elliot whether we are blood related or not I'm going to take care of you. Alright?" My eyes watered and I shook my head yes, he said "Alright then come on before all the stores close."

We got in his car and drove all around trying to find the perfect suit, we got to this one place called "suit and armors" I guess it was a play on words but nevertheless we walked in and looked at all different set ups. I didn't know what Olivia's dress looked like so we figured I should just a get a classic black & white suit. I got some nice clean black shoes. After we paid we drove back home and I thanked don for everything. I said as we walked through the door "Don I don't think I could properly thank you for this but I really want you to know how much this means to me." He grabbed a beer from kitchen and said "Hey don't thank me I love you son and I'm doing what Joe would want me to. Also El you have to remember i So go on and tell liv that you guys are you going to have a perfect night set up because I have surprise for you both tomorrow." I smiled and said "Again thank you don." I walked up stairs to my room and texted liv:

El: Hey it's your turn to guess what I did today.

liv: Well I'm assuming you got your suit since you said you had to figure somethings out.

El: Wow well okay you're a much better guesser than I am🤨Yes I did get my suit

Liv: Yes I am a much better guesser can I see your suit?

Third person POV

Olivia and Elliot stayed up on the phone up until 2 in the morning when Olivia had fallen asleep. They talked about how amazing prom was going to be and how they couldn't wait to dance with each other. Olivia was still hopeful they'd win Prom king and Queen but Elliot doubted he'd ever win. After Olivia fell asleep Elliot dosed away anticipating tomorrow. He hoped for a good time but didn't know what was coming.
