February 23, 2018

Since prom was approaching everyone was going around buying their prom dresses and suits. Getting every single detail ready for the big day. Laura, well she had everything... that's what she wanted to make herself believe. She had her ticket.

She walked out to her car. She opened the back door and threw her books and bag. When she turned around she saw Shawn standing in front of her. She immediately felt panicky. In her throat she felt a lump forming. Her heart beat quickly. Although she wanted to ruin his reputation, she felt the need to kiss and hug him.

But she didn't. She rolled her eyes and walked toward her door, but Shawn gripped onto her arm.

"Look I know that you don't want to see me right now, but I miss you. I've given you your space these past few days."

"You're right. I don't want to see you." She pulled away from his grip and opened her door. But Shawn quickly gripped onto her again.

"Please Laura, don't be this way."

"What way? Mad? I have every right to be mad. You cheated on me."

"Not purposely. Look-"

"If you are going to try to justify your answers, trust me it won't work."

Shawn bit his lip, ran his hands through his hair, and said, "Okay, you left me no choice."

He let go of her and grabbed something from behind her car. She was confused.

He takes out his guitar and begins to play a melody. Then he starts to sing.

"Let's write our story
And let's sing our song
Let's hang our pictures on the wall
All these precious moments
That we carved in stone
Are only memories after all
Memories after all
Memories after all, and oh..."

He stops and waits for her reaction. But then he says, "It's not finished yet, but I needed to share it with you and..."

Out of nowhere a couple of people held up some signs which distracted her. They read "It'd be such a pleasure to make memories at prom with you. Will you go to prom with me?"

She covered her mouth at the sight of the well decorated poster. When she looks down Shawn was on his knee holding a corsage in front of him. "So will you?"

Hailee, Rose, and Katherine are walking towards Laura and see the whole promposal. Laura was still in shock. She felt warm and fuzzy. "Yes. I will go to prom with you!" She exclaimed.

Shawn stands up and hugs her. He whispered, "I am so sorry for what I did. There is no justifying that. I will never hurt you that way."

"It's okay. I overreacted." she whispered back.

She looks out to the crowd and puts two thumbs up to the girls. Yes she's still for destroying Shawn.

...

"Did you get a bit of the promposal?" Hailee asked Katherine.

"Yeah. I'll edit it later when I get home."

Laura looked at them as they inserted the memory chip to Katherine's computer. Although she was now on their side, she did feel a bit bad.

"Have you guys gone to buy your prom dresses?" Laura asked them.

"Uh... no." They said in unison.
