Chapter 19- Promposals

The past few weeks leading up to Prom actually went way quicker than I expected. Leah and Michael have been seeing a lot more of each other and Michael finally asked her if she wanted to be his girlfriend. Leah has never really been one to have boyfriends because she hasn't ever had a true connection. Its usually just a one night thing between her and a guy. I know, I know, how are two complete opposite girls best friends? Honestly, I don't have an answer she's just always been there for me and is an overall wonderful person. Anyways... we've done a couple of things together as couples, Will and I with Michael and Leah which has been lots of fun.

Prom is now only two days away and I honestly can not contain my excitement. As you've probably guessed, I've never been to a dance before. It's not like I didn't want to go, I've just never had a reason too. If course the first dance I go to I'll have to attend on crutches, but as long as I'm with Will and having fun I don't care. My phone buzzing snaps me out of my thoughts and I look to see a text from an unknown number.

-Hey Lou, this is Michael.-

I have no idea why he's texting me, but I'm about to find out.

-Hi, what do you need.-

He responds fairly quickly which is a good thing because I hate slow texters.

-Okay, so don't tell Leah, but I'm going to ask her to Prom tonight and I need you to help me set up.-

Oh my gosh this is so exciting! Leah's been dying for him to ask her. I quickly type a response!

-Yayyy!!! She's going to be so excited, where are we meeting and can I bring Will too?-

The reason I asked if Will could come is because of the whole Zach incident. I don't think Michael would ever do something like that, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

-We can meet at the pond behind my house at 6:30, Leah will be there at 7:30. My address is 137 EastView Road, also, Will can come too. See ya then.-

I let out a squeal of excitement and call Will quickly, telling him the plan. He agrees and is going to come to my house at 6:00. I hobble over to my room and quickly take a shower before dressing in my favorite sweats and T-Shirt. It's already noon and I don't feel like doing anything and even if I wanted to do something I couldn't. I turn on the TV to The Simpsons and plop down on my bed. A commercial comes on TV so I pull out my phone and start reading my favorite book, The Way It Goes on Wattpad. It ends with a major plot twist and I finish it in two hours.

At 2:00 my stomach decides to sound like a whales mating call so I head down stairs, eat a sandwich, and then take a nap. It's 5:30 when I wake up and I rush to get ready. Since I still can't wear anything tight on my legs some baggy purple sweats have to do with a fitted, black Tee. My hair gets thrown into a messy bun and I apply some mascara and lip gloss and still have 15 minutes to spare. Man I'm good.

I open my closet door in search of some comfy shoes when a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist.

"What the-" I yelp and stand frozen feeling his breath on my ear making me shiver.

"Are you cold or you just can't help yourself around all of this." Will whispers in my ear and I try to contain the grin forming on my lips. It's obviously the second one but I am not about to admit that.

I turn around in his arms and widen my eyes at him. "It's definitely the first one," lie, "I mean it's freezing in here!"

"Sure it is nerd. Sure it is." He smirks and I roll my eyes. "We've still got a half an hour before we have to meet Michael, what do you wanna do till' then?" He says wiggling his eyebrows at me.
