*PAST*

"Josh's here!" Mom shouts from downstairs.

"I'll be down in a second!" I finish applying my makeup, fix my dress, and make my way down the stairs. Josh's and my parents are lined up at the bottom of the stairs, forming a sort of isle, taking pictures. Josh stands at the end looking as handsome as ever. He's wearing a black suite, a white dress shirt, and a lime green tie that matches my dress. My dress is silver with sparkles on top and then lime green and flowy on the bottom.

I smile at him as I walk down the stairs. Josh wolf-whistles and walks forward and extends his hand to me. I reach for it but trip on my dress and end up stumbling down the few stairs that I still had to walk down.

"Damn it!" I whisper to my self.

Everybody laughs.

"Yeah very funny," I say sarcastically but end up laughing because it is sort of funny.

Josh walks over to me and helps me up. "How do u manage to fall down two stairs?"

I laugh. "It's this dress!"

"Sure it was." Josh rolls his eyes and walks into the kitchen.

I walk over the couch. I try and sit but it hurts so I end up leaning against the wall.

"Are you okay?" My mom and Josh's mom ask at the same time.

I laugh at how serious they both sound. "I'm fine, I fall all the time. What makes this time any different?"

This causes everyone to laugh again. Josh walks back in carrying two icepacks. He walks over to the wall and stands in front of me. "I thought you might need these." He hands me the icepacks and laughs.

"What did you hurt?" Michelle- Josh's mom- asks me nervously.

"My ass," I mumble only loud enough for Josh to hear.

He laughs and takes a seat on the couch. "Better put the icepacks on," He shouts over his shoulder.

I laugh and walk so I stand directly in front of Josh. He's sitting down so my ass is directly in his face. I place the icepacks on the spot where it hurts, wiggle my butt, and sit down on Josh's lap.

"That's cold!" Josh says and jumps up but I wrap my arms around and make him stay sitting.

"Baby." Josh pouts.

"Is Joshie mad?" I ask in my baby voice.

"Yes I am mad, I get to go to prom with a girl who can't even sit down because she fell down the stairs and hurt her ass."

I laugh and turn my head so I'm looking up at him. "It's not my fault." I pout.

"Oh sorry I forgot. It was the dresses fault."

"Exactly!" I peck him on the lips. I would've kissed him lounger but our parents are there. "When is everybody else comming-" before I could finish my sentence the door bell rings.

My dad opens the door and Gina, Noah, Abby, Ryan, Lyla, and Andrew walk in the door.

"There here," Josh whispers in my ear.

"Thanks Josh! I couldn't have figured it out without you."

Josh smiles and I do the same. Our friends walk into the living room and laugh when they see us.

"Why are you guys sitting on the couch?" Lyla asks.

"Jen fell down the stairs and hurt her ass." Josh wraps his arm around me tighter.

"Her ass huh?" ANDREW smirks. I wink at Andrew. He's had a crush on me since the third grade. Him and Josh have been best friends since the first grade.

Nick never knew that Ryan also had/ has a crush on me. So, when Nick asked me out, Ryan got mad at Nick for like a week but then got over it because he realized that he would get to see me more often this way.

"Yup. Pretty hard too." I say laughing.

"Who wants to take some pictures?" My mom shouts.

We all laugh and go outside to take pictures so we can finally leave and go to the prom. Right before we walk out the door I pull Josh aside and give him a huge hug.

When we pull away Josh whispers, "What was that for?"

"Thank you," I say looking up into those beautiful blue eyes. "I wouldn't have even gone if it wasn't for you... Especially because Nick..."

Josh shakes his head cutting me off. "Your welcome, Jen."

I smile and hug him one more time then run outside with all of our friends.
