You woke up the next morning to the smell of sizzling bacon and pancakes.  Opening your eyes, you got out of bed and went towards the smell. Phil, his brother Martyn, his mom, and his dad were all together in the kitchen.

Phil's mother smiled at you and said,"Well good morning Y/N, would you like some breakfast?"

"Oh, I'll just have a few pancakes," you said awkwardly.

You weren't used to being offered breakfast like this in the morning.  Of course, she had also made eggs to go with the bacon. It all smelled so good.

"Alright,"she said scooping them up and laying them on a plate for you,"here you go!"

"Thank you," you said as you down at the table with Phil.

"Good morning," he yawned and waved at you.

"I'm guessing you're not much of a morning person."

He chuckled drowsily and replied a simple,"Nope."

You giggled and began eating your food. It tasted delicious. You remembered that prom was coming up, and you needed a dress. How would you afford it? You didn't have a job, and you had no idea where you should go to get one.

"You seem deep in thought," Phil said out of curiosity.

"Yeah, I just don't know what I'm going to wear to prom," you sighed.

Phil's mom immediately turned her head toward you.

"You need a prom dress?" she said with excitement.

You nodded your head politely.

"I-I could take you shopping later today? Maybe after school?"she asked, her eyes full of hope.

You wanted her to, but you didn't want to take advantage of her either.

"You don't have to do that for me.."

"I know I don't, but I want to," she responded,"it'll be my special treat."

"Alright, then I would love to," you said with a smile.

"Yay!" she cheered, clapping her hands.

Considering she had two sons and no daughters, she was definitely excited to go shopping with you. Once you finished your breakfast, you got ready for school quickly.

As you were just finishing up and putting on your shoes, you heard the doorbell ring. You got your things and opened the door to see Dan. His eyes lit up when he saw you, and he kissed you.  He hugged you tightly, and then let go when he heard Phil stepping out of the doorway awkwardly.

"Sorry," he said to Phil.

"It's fine, don't worry about it."

The three of you headed to the car, and you sat in the front seat with Dan.  There was construction going on in the direction you normally went, so Dan went in the direction of your old house. 

As you passed it, you heard him whisper under his breath,"Thank God she's safe.."

You kissed his cheek to comfort him, and he smiled.  Of course Phil smiled too,  he's still VERY happy that Y/S/N is real.

You noticed there was something odd about the house.  Your mom's car wasn't in the driveway, and she rarely left.  Especially this early in the morning.

Time Skip:

You'd just gotten home from school, and Phil's mom was waiting for you on the porch steps. 

"You ready to go?" she asked.

"Sure, let me just put my backpack inside."

You opened the door, put your bag next to it, and then shut the door behind you.

"Okay, let's go," you announced to her.

The both of you got in the car, and again, when she drove past your house, your mother's car wasn't there.  Maybe you were just freaking yourself out, your brother probably knows where she is anyways.

She drove you downtown and took you into a nice looking dress shop.  In the center of the room, there was a beautiful nude pink gown.

It was sweet yet simple, and the cut was beautiful.  You ran up to the dress and fell in love with it immediately.  Phil's mom could see how much you loved the dress.  She got the attention of one of the employees in the store.

"She'd like to try on this dress please," she said to them.

They nodded their head, and came back a few moments later with the dress in your size.  She went over to the changing rooms with you, and sat outside on the couch as she waited to see it. 

You walked out of the dressing room, and the dress looked amazing on you.  She gasped.

"You have to have that," she said.

You looked in the mirror and were shocked at how beautiful you looked in the dress.  You spun in a circle in it in admiration.  After a minute or two, you went back into the dressing room and changed back into your normal clothes so that she could pay for it. 

Once you were back in the car with your new dress,  you heard your phone buzz.  You looked at it, and it was a text from Noah.

"hey Y/N, I just wanted to let you know that I just got accepted into a college here in the city!"

You texted him back quickly.

"that's great!  I havent heard from you in so long!"

"ikr? By the way.. not to change the subject, but have you seen mom anywhere by any chance?"

You froze.
