*Holly’s POV*

At 1:30 we left the house and drove to the spa. We arrived just on time and once we came in, all of the workers pulled us away. They did our hair and makeup first and then told us to change into our dresses, which we were all happy to, well except for Vicky.

“Ugh, why do I have to wear a dress? This is NOT me!” she exclaimed.

“Vicky, what did the note say? No complaining! And anyways, you get to wear your converse with it,” Dominique said.

“Fine, I’ll go put it on,” she sighed and went to go change.

At last we were all changed and dolled up. It was nice to be dressed up for once. We’d never done this before. I smiled at myself in the mirror and gave the other girls chances to look at themselves. We finally stepped into our high heels and made our way out to the front where there was a lustrous black limousine waiting for us. We stepped in and were silent the whole way to wherever it was we were going. We finally felt the limo come to a halt, but we had no idea where we were. The windows were tinted on the outside AND the inside.

The limo driver got out and opened up our door for us. We stepped out and noticed that we were at the beach. There was a velvet rope placed in front of a red carpet that was laid out on the sand. The first person to walk down the red carpet was AG. He was dressed up in a suit and looked adorable. We all went, “Awww!” as he took Brittany’s hand and led her the opposite way of us, back down the red carpet. The guys started coming one by one, taking their girls down.

I was the last one standing and finally Drew showed up. He smiled and kissed my cheek. He held out his arm and I attached my arm to his elbow. He brought me down the carpet and to a photographer that was set up in front of a nice background. We took a cute picture and then he kept leading me along the carpet. It finally opened up to reveal a huge event tent that was decorated. All of the guys were standing on the stage and Drew let go of me to go join them.

“I know, you girls are wondering what’s going on. Do you guys remember that you didn’t get the chance to go to prom junior and senior year because we were on tour and you didn’t want to go without us? Well, we figured we would create our own prom. One where it’s just us,” Justin explained.

I smiled. This was so sweet of them.

“Now let’s get this party started!” Bobby yelled and started the music. They jumped down from the stage and joined their girls.

Drew took my hand and led me out to the ‘dance floor’. I placed my arms behind his neck and he put his hands on my hips. We swayed even though it was a fast song. We pretty much blocked everyone out and talked to one another.

“You guys did this all for us?” I asked him.

“Yeah, we did. We’ve been up since 3 this morning. We needed a way to thank you girls. You’re trying to change us and you’re by our sides even though we don’t deserve you. We were complete and utter @$$wholes. We didn’t deserve anything that you girls are giving us. You’re taking your time to change us back. And we all realized that what you said was right. We really were letting the fame get to us. I’m sorry,” he told me.

“It’s alright Drew. I can tell that you’re making an effort to change and that’s what I want to see.”

“I love you Holly. I hope you know that.”

“I know that. I can see it in your eyes. Every time you look at me, I feel your love and that’s why I love you too,” I said and kissed him. We pulled away and he kissed my forehead. I smiled.

“I WILL change. I can promise you that,” he whispered in my ear. “Thank you for everything you’ve done to love me.”

“You’re welcome. And thank YOU for this. I love it.”

*Angel’s POV*

David and I had been dancing for a while. We’ve been at the prom for about 2 hours now. That’s when he randomly disappeared. TC walked up on the stage and we all looked at him.

“All of the guys and I voted on who we thought would be the best prom king and queen. The prom king is……DAVID LEI BRANDT. And of course, the lovely ANGEL LEBLANC is the prom queen! Congratulations!” he announced.

David walked out onto the stage and waited for me to join him. I got up on the stage and TC placed fake little plastic crowns on our heads. I couldn’t help but laugh.

David walked up to the front of the stage and said, “I’d like to say something to my queen. Angel, you’re the best thing that’s happened to me. Being away from you has torn my heart into pieces. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” He got down on one knee and pulled a black velvet box out of his back pocket. He opened it up to reveal a glittering ring. “Will you marry me?”

My hands flew to my mouth in shock and I stared. I started to tear up. “YES!” I cried and threw my arms around his neck as he stood up. He lifted me in the air and twirled me around in circles. I giggled and pulled him by the front of the shirt into a kiss when he set me down. He kissed me back and I held him close when we pulled away. I couldn’t believe this was happening. Just a couple of days ago I was single and now I’m getting married!

“That was cute!” Drew exclaimed. “But, I think we have somebody else that wants to do something for their girl. Vicky, step forward please.”

*Vicky’s POV*

My heart stopped when Drew told me to step forward. I did what he said and looked up at the stage. Thomas was setting up a chair and a microphone in front of him. He had his guitar and he sat down.

“I realized that this song describes exactly what we’ve been going through and I want you to listen very closely,” he told me and started strumming at his guitar.

He started singing his song Better. I almost started crying. I’d heard this song a million times before and I knew what he was trying to say. He’d promise to get better but he never did and now he needs another chance. He realizes how much he loves me and he needs and he CAN be better. For me.

“Whenever the light hits you, I forget what I’m going through. I remember why I’m still here. All I need is all right here. I know I only say I love you when I made you cry, but I need you to be mine. Cause I can be so much better, better, better. And I can be so much better, better, better, better. Do you remember when I said, I said we could be better, better, better, yeah,” he ended the song. I looked up at him as he spoke. “Do you get what I’m trying to say now Vicks? I love you baby and I always will, no matter what your decision is when I ask these questions. Will you take me back? Can I get a second chance?”

I faintly nodded and he jumped off the stage. He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me tightly. I put my arms behind his neck and hugged him back for a long time. When he let go, I brought my lips up to his and kissed him. I think we’d both been waiting for that to happen since we got to this place.

“Tommy Boy?” I asked.

“Yeah?”

“I love you too. I want you to know that so you know I’m not just saying that because you said it,” I told him.

“I know you’re not just saying it. I know when you’re lying. Your face says it all.”

I smiled and kissed him again. I was so glad that everyone had gone back to what they were doing once Thomas got off stage cause it’d be super awkward if they were all watching us make out at the moment. I giggled to myself.

“What?” he laughed.

“Nothing, I’m just thinking about something.”
