"Shawn!!!!!!" I yell hugging my brother. he pulls me into an embrace and he just holds me and lets me cry onto his shoulder. 

"Can you all just give us a few seconds and I promise ill have her ready and willing to go to prom?" he asks and everyone leaves. 

"There is nothing you can say or do to make me want to go to prom." I tell him and I sit back on my bed.  He comes and sits right besides me. He pulls out a piece of paper. 

"Here read this." he hands the paper to me and I grab it. 

"I, Brooke Kennedy Mendes, promise to have a fun life. I, Shawn Peter Paul Mendes, promise to make sure Brooke has a fun life and to make sure she is never sad. Dated 12/31/2007."

"Remember that day, It was New Years Eve. You were 7 and I was 8. We went to Aunt Julia's house. Remember you were singing and playing the piano and of course it was amazing. Your were singing that Alicia Keys song 'If I Aint Got You.' Remember cousin Justin took all the attention away? You ran away crying, but no one saw you. Then when I found you, you were so upset with yourself. You thought it was your fault that no one liked you. You kept on doubting yourself, and it hurt me. So I wrote this and made you sign it." 

"Yeah I remember. You told me to not let anything get to me because I'm amazing and if anyone told me otherwise, to come and get you and you'll beat them up." I smile at him.

"Exactly. And I still believe in that today! Your my younger sister, and I love you so much that I never want you to get hurt. You look amazing! You need to go to prom! Have fun!" 

"Yeah, but im afraid that Anthony wont think I'm pretty enough. I mean like look at Lexi, she is so much prettier than me! Why would he ever pick me." I start crying again.

"First off, if he ever hurts you or makes you doubt your self worth, you need to tell me and Ill be his ass up. And second off, if he doesn't see how gorgeous you are, then he isnt worth your love." He puts his arm around me, "but if you honestly dont want to go, then you can stay here." Just then we hear the doorbell ring. "Its now or never, Brooke." he gives me one last hug and walks out of the room. 

I walk slowly toward my full length mirror. I look at myself. 

"Well, its just you and me," I tell my reflection, "Shawn's right, if I dont go, I'm going to miss the best night of my life. If Tony doesn't think I'm good enough, I'm ending it there and leaving him. I look beautiful." I talk a deep breath, walk to the door, and open it.
