A/N Picture of Olivia's prom dress



*Oliver's POV*

Everyone that stayed for dinner made arrangements to stay at the gang house for a little while so they could help plan out the new and improved gang house which would be able to hold people from both gang's and not be crowded. The new gang house would be another safe house so we couldn't talk about it outside of the walks of the current gang house.

We probably won't use it that much unless we really needed to separate which I don't think we will have to do now. The person I share the same face with wouldn't talk to me and I wouldn't talk to him, which was fine with me but the more I thought about the more heavy I became.

I just kept thinking of my own little sister's words "Why can't you guys get along like you used to? I miss those days."

I missed those days too before we were all split up we may not have been that happy but at least we were all together, now we were all so distant from each other like we were strangers.

I sighed with frustration putting my head in my hands with my elbows resting on my knees. I heard a knock on the door and it open quietly. I didn't bother looking up.

"Hey...uh... could you help me for a second?" I heard Jax's voice quietly ask from the door. I don't know why he knocked since this is his room but I looked up at him anyway and my breath hitched; I really hope he didn't hear that. I couldn't help it, he looked dare I say, fucking hot.

I nodded not trusting my voice; Jax stepped in closing the door behind him and walked over to me awkwardly. He wasn't used to wearing a suit but he still looked so good in it. He had the first button unbuttoned with a black bow-tie, untied might I add around his neck. His suit jacket was open as well leaving just the vest and the crisp white shirt underneath it. His curly hair, usually some-what untamed was styled back making his blue eyes stand out and not hidden by the stray hairs that were in his face sometimes.

I stop up when he stopped in front of me, a couple of feet away. He was picking at his nails and nibbling on his bottom lip, a tall tail sign he was nervous. I grabbed his hands and held them firmly but gently. He looked up at me then averted his eyes from mine. I let go of one of his hands and hooked my index finger under his chin to tilt his up to mine again

"Jax, there's nothing to be nervous about you look absolutely fine, well more than fine but you know what I mean," I said softly, biting back what I wanted to tell him: he looked hot, but I don't think he would appreciate that.

"I know I just...never mind," he said trailing off at the end. I pinched his chin between my thumb and index finger softly.

"Spit it out Jax you don't have to be embarrassed," I said with a small smirk. He sighed and averted his eyes from mine again and spoke quickly.

"IjustthoughtIwouldgowithyoutoProm," he spoke in one breath, causing me to chuckle quietly making him tense.

"Can you repeat that, a little slower this time, so I can understand you?" I said giving him an assuring smile making him relax but still not able to meet my eyes.

"I want to go to prom with you..." he said really softly. I nudged his red face up making him look me in the eyes.

"We're only juniors Jax," his shoulders dropped a little, "maybe, I will take you next year," his eyes seemed to light up a little and I couldn't help but smile at his antics. Our faces were really close right now and I don't know if he felt the same, with his heartbeat hammering against his chest. We were both leaning in; I think I couldn't really tell. Just a little closer and I can almost taste his lips. Just a little more....
