Prom at It's Craziest

Wait, I have an old story from two years ago to share! :D

It is prom night of your senior year. Nearly ten boys requested going with you but you had your heart set on one. You hope he will ask or else you won't have a date. Two nights before prom a gorgeous bouquet of wild flowers and a bracelet made of fake diamonds arrives at your door. A note is included saying, "If only I could give you all the things you deserve. The best I can offer you is a night full of fun. I know I am not the one you want, but I so desperately need you. Please come. Love, Jordan." ( names have been changed) Your heart melts. 

The message is sooo sweet, but you wanted so badly for Kyle to ask you. Secretly touched by the note, you slip it into your pocket and decide not to answer until the last minute. You wait, and wait, and wait. Nothing. You open the drawer next to your bed and look at the note. Jordan was always very nice, but...The picture of Kyle by your beside haunts you. 

You choose Jordan. Jordan is thrilled. He refuses to let you open the door and treats you like a queen. At first, this creeps you out. Wow, this guy is weird, you think. 

Jordan has a tender look in his eyes each time he looks at you. And when he holds your hand, it is almost like he thinks you are made of glass, one wrong move and you will shatter.

 When you get to the dance before the dinner, Jordan gently lifts you out of the car. The dance is sooo sparkly, everyone looks gorgeous and you feel inferior. You had saved forever for your dress, but now it didn't seem good enough.
At the dance, you spot Kyle. He is a mess. He has his arm wrapped around Michelle and is drinking a strangely colored liquid. You stare at him for several moments until finally Jordan looks to see what it is. 

When he sees Kyle, He pulls you out of the room. You are surprised and angry. What is he doing? You drive for about five minutes and near the edge of a cliff,and he parks. Now you are afraid. He turns to you, eyes concerned. "Are you alright?" Your fear melts away. 
"Yes." You almost whisper.  "Why did you do that?" 

Jordan looks at you. "Didn't you see what they were doing?" You shake your head. Jordan explains that they were drinking and smoking dope and that he couldn't bare you getting in trouble.You are super glad that he cared about you. 

Jordan reaches in his pocket and starts counting out the money. You start to lose count. He starts the engine and turns the truck away from town. 

You drive forever and as you drive, you open up. Soon you are talking like old friends. And as you talk, You realize he is not who you thought he was. After three hours' drive, you reach a beautiful hotel. You wait in the car while he registers two rooms.The place is beautiful. He shows you to your room, and after you drop off your stuff he takes you to an incredible place. It must have cost him thousands of dollars to get you in.

You order the cheapest thing you can find, A $300 steak with a $500 cherry jubilee for dessert. He forks it all out and has more left. You are shocked, you thought he was poor.

After a wonderful meal, you dance for hours and Jordan returns you to your room five minutes before Midnight. Breakfast the next morning is glamorous. Afterwords He takes you to a perfume shop and buys you an eighty dollar thing of perfume. Next he buys you a six hundred dollar dress. You try to refuse but he won't take no for an answer. 

This pattern continues, and each day you enjoy his company more and more. It is the third night, and tomorrow, you will head for home. Jordan walks you to the garden of the hotel. You sit next to the fountain. Jordan is nervous and stutters, "D-d-did you have fun?" You smile gently and hold his hand. 

"Yes." And you smile. 

Jordan is encouraged. "Since forever, I have always wanted to share this moment with you." And then, it happens. The magic is in the air and you know what you had always known, deep in your heart. You love Jordan. You love him more than you have ever loved anyone.


Epilogue:


This is your fifth anniversary. And now you have the guts to ask. "How could you afford that beautiful trip?" 

Jordan wraps his arm around you and explains, " Since the moment I first saw you, I wanted you. At sixteen I decided I would save up everything I ever earned so that at your senior prom I could do something to make you happy. I have Always loved you and always will."

Two weeks later, you find out Kyle died of smoking dope. You open your chest were you keep your old things from high school. At the bottom, you find your old picture of Kyle. You laugh at your old crush. You look from Kyle's picture to your picture of Jordan. Without looking once more at Kyle's picture, you throw it in the trash and pick up Jordan's. Just as you reach the door, Jordan comes in. 

"I love you," And you kiss him. "And I always will." 

And you always do.
