~Imogen's POV~

Aspyn and I spent the rest of the day at her house, and then going to visit her mum. Even in her condition she was beautiful, you could tell Aspyn was her daughter. It isn't fair for her family to have to go through this...but then again nothing is fair.

I spent the day trying to be as optimistic as possible, for Aspyn's sake. And also for me.

Pulling into the driveway, I park the car and take out the keys, exiting the car and heading up the steps. As I walk into the house, I can here some one crying up stairs?

I rush up the stairs to see mum on the floor in my room. I rush over to her and envelop her in a hug. "Mum! Mum, what's wrong?"

"Imogen! Oh my goodness don't ever leave again with out telling!" She half sobs half yells at me.

I don't have the courage to tell her that I did in fact tell her that I was leaving. Hugging her tighter, she is able to calm down. "I'm sorry mum." I whisper.

"J-just don't do that again, okay? I don't know what...I thought, but don't scare me like that." She says softly.

"Yes mum." I say and then get off of the floor, taking her up with me. "What do you want to do today?" I say awkwardly.

"Oh! I forgot I have something for you, I'll be right back." She rushes out of my room with a bright smile on her face, well that was quick. I wonder what she is getting?

She comes in with a big bag in her hand, the one from the mall? "This is for you." She says, dramatically handing it to me.

"Muum?" I say raising my eyebrow.

"Before you say anything just open it, I'll explain. Please." She is begging now.

I slowly open the bag, slightly cautious about what might be inside. When I open it my hands reach a cold box. I take the box out and set it on my lap.

Mum gives me a reassuring look and I smoothly take the lid of, staring. A beautiful gown stares back at me. "Wait, what?" I ask confusion in my voice.

"Well I know you said you didn't want to go to prom, but I saw this dress and I thought immediately of you."

I look at her wide eyed, she knew I didn't want to go. "Mum, seriously?"

"Come on Imogen, Aspyn's going isn't she? Just do this for me, please." Oh no, she can't do this with me, 'please do this for me,' No! However, she did try really hard...getting this dress.

"If I go, promise you won't freak out...like you normally do, at everything."

"I do not freak out at everything!" She says, but then starts laughing. "Okay, I promise I won't freak out." And then a huge smug grin comes up on her face. "So you will go!"

I groan, "yes mum, I'll go." She freaks out, maybe she'll need some practice before prom comes...which is in two days, and comes over to squeeze me.

"Can't...breath." I'm able to say through her tight grip.

"Haha, sorry." She replies letting me go. "Oh, I should probably start dinner, I'm glad you like the dress love, and that you are going to prom." She says after strolling out and closing my door behind her.

Well I guess I'm going to have to buy a ticket now, and actually try to look nice! Maybe Aspyn can help me, I know that she is going with Miles. Hopefully this doesn't turn out like it did freshman year.

Chills run down my spine remembering that moment, I haven't been to a dance since then. But I'll do this for mum.
