Why I Did It (Lauren/You)

Reason Number tweleve: Prom

Prom was supposed to be the best night of my life. I was supposed to dance with my girlfriend and kiss under the lights. We were supposed to to to make love in a hotel room for hours. I was supposed to be happy.

That was the plan. But everything failed. My night was a disaster. I drove home with punch all over me. Tears were falling from my eyes. I was letting out loud sobs. I didn't want to be here anymore. I'm humiliated.

"We are actually here at prom...this is amazing," I say a huge smile on my face. Maia grabbed my hand and smiled at me. "You know you deserve to be happy" I gave her a smile before leaning over and presses my lips to her.

We both got out the car. "So how do you want to do this?" Maia asked, "do you want to walk in together or do you want to walk in separately?" I shrugged. "Do you want to walk in together?"

"I don't care if we do. But you know how the school is-"

"Go ahead I'll be in there" she nods before walking inside. I grabbed my phone and dialed Lauren's number.

After a couple of rings, she answers "hello?"

"Lauren"

"Y/n hey where are you"

"I'm sorry Maia was on my back all day I can't come"

"Really?! I've been waiting out here for 30 minutes!"

"I know but I promise to see you later on tonight just give me the name of your hotel and I'll be there"

"Ok I'll text you"

I walked into the school and into the gym after giving someone my ticket. I walked straight up to Maia. She smiles. "Oh wow y/n you look very beautiful tonight" I chuckled. The whole school knew about our friendship but they didn't know about our relationship.

Which was ok. This is our relationship not everyone has to know about it. Maia smiles at me. She looked so beautiful tonight. The only thing I wanted to do was wrap my arms around her and kiss her.

"You look beautiful as well," I say to her.

The one thought going through my mind was how are we going to dance with each other without people assuming we're dating.

We stood in front of each other. "How are we going to dance together?" I asked her eyes were trained on something behind me. I looked behind me "who are you looking at-"

"We'll figure something out I'll be back" She walks past me and walked over to a group of people.

"Oh y/n so glad to see you come with me," Melissa says grabbing my hand pulling me on to the dance floor. "What are you doing?" I asked. "I'm just checking in on you. I'm going to win right?" I nod my head. "Of course you are. I changed all the votes" she smiles. "Great"

She starts to sway her hips "ok well dance with me"

"Oh no thank you I'm actually here with-"

"Maia? Yeah yeah, I know. But she's not here with you right now so dance!" I chuckled and shrugged my shoulders.

We started to dance to the beat. The DJ played some good music. It really took my mind off of a lot of things. And for the first time, I'm actually having fun. Melissa twirled me around and pulled me closer to her.

"Don't you have a boyfriend?" I asked "nope I'm riding solo...Hey, you should hook me up with your friend Jeremy I heard he's single" I chuckled.
