Standing in front of my mirror, I look down at myself. I examine how my body looks in the pink silk dress. For once, I'm satisfied.

Tonight is the night of our school prom, and I want it to be perfect. I'm going with my boyfriend since Freshman year, Daniel Convey.

Now, Daniel isn't they greatest man. He doesn't know how to control his anger very well. When he gets upset, he begins to hit. Hard. Now, you may be asking yourself: Why haven't you left him? I believe he can change. He hasn't always been like this.

It started the beginning of Senior year. His grades began to slip, he started making poor decisions, and he became worse of a person. It's not him. I can tell, and I know he can change for the better.

"(Y/n)! Daniel's here!" My older sister, Chevvy, called out to me.

Chevvy is also a Senior, same with me. She's riding with Daniel and I to go to prom. She was gonna ride with her boyfriend, Chris Sturniolo, but bailed last minute on him since he "took too long".

"Coming, sis!" I trot down the stairs, desperately trying not to fall because of the uncomfortable see through heels.

Chevvy notices me and smiles, "you look stunning, sister!" She hugs me and we walk to Daniel's car together, hand in hand.

I get in the front seat while greeting my boyfriend, "hey, Baby!" I kiss his cheek. He seems annoyed and kinda shrugs me off, I think nothing of it.

"(Y/n)." He says with a fake smile, "hey, Chevvy."

Chevvy says nothing and just waves. She doesn't like Daniel. She thinks I need to dump him, part of me wants to. But I still believe he can change.

"Bitch." He mumbles under his breath, and he all head to our last school dance for the rest of our lives.

We get to a stop and all walk in together, "Chris!" Chevvy runs up to her long haired boyfriend and kisses him. I smile, she's finally happy.

"Daniel, do you wanna go dan-" I begin to ask my boyfriend if he wanted to ask, but he was already across the gym, talking to his new girl best friend, Summer Hughes.

"Aaalrighty then." I mumble and pinch the bridge of my nose.

"(Y/n)! Hey!" I look to my right as I hear a familiar voice, Matt Sturniolo. My sister's boyfriend's brother.

Matt and I have always got along. Ever since Chris and Chevvy started dating, it's just gotten us closer.

"Matt, hey..." I smile sadly, still thinking of Daniel and Summer.

Matt gives me a lopsided smile and shakes my shoulder a bit, "hey, is everything okay?"

I sigh and wave him over to go sit on the bleachers together. He follows me and takes a seat beside me when we reach there.

"Daniel and Summer..." I start, looking at the two.

Matt looks as well, his face scrunches at the sight of the two. He puts his hand on mine and says, "he's immature. You need to leave him."

"I wish it were that easy," I rest my head in my hands, "but I just.... I know he can change."

Matt shakes his head and pulls me up into my feet, dragging me on the dance floor. "Let's dance."

"What?"

"You heard me." He smiles shyly, confused by his own boldness.

I hesitate, "fine, Matty Boy."

After about an hour and a half of dancing and drinking watery fruit punch, it was time to announce prom queen and king.

"Ladies and gentlemen," our principle says through the microphone, "how's everyone's night going so far?"

I hear a bunch of lame screams and 'woo-hoo's. Matt and I snicker and listen to the principal again.

Looking around the room in boredom, I spot Daniel and Summer. Daniel and Summer making out in the corner of the gym. At that moment it felt like my heart at shattered into a million pieces. I held the tears the threatened to fall, and I gripped Matt's shoulder to gain strength to keep standing.

"(Y/n)-" he looks in the direction of my eyes and spots the two. His eyes soften and he wraps his arm around me.

"He doesn't deserve you, (Y/n). Leave him." Leave him because I am better Matt had thought to himself.

"God, Matt. My heart hurts..." I say weakly.

"And prom king is... Mr. Daniel Convey!" Principal Bryce calls out, and Daniel is quick to take his spot, holding still as the plastic crown is placed oh his head full of golden brown locks.

"I couldn't have done this without my best friend, Summer. And... " Daniel winces and hesitates before he speaks again, "my wonderful girlfriend, (Y/n)." Sarcasm filled his voice, but nobody else heard but Matt and I.

"Thank you, Sir Bryce." He speaks again, and hands the microphone back to the principal.

"And prom queen is... Miss (Y/n) (L/n)!" Mister Bryce announces, everyone kinda cheers and I slowly walk upstage. Standing still, trying not to sob uncontrollably in front of everyone, as the stupid fake crown gets places on my head.

"I would like to... Thank my sister, Chevvy, and my three best friends, Chris, Matt, and Nick Sturniolo. Thank you, Principal Bryce." I glare at Daniel, sadness clouding my eyes.

Daniel walks up to me and puts his arm around my shoulder, whispering in my ear, "I think I'm ready to break up."

Tears flow down my face now. I couldn't stop them. I shove him off of me and run down the stage steps and quickly run out of the gym. Matt seems to notice, and he runs after me as well.

_____

I get to a stop as I sit in front of some science class. I pull my legs up to my chest and sob.

"(Y/n)?" Matt sits down beside me and pulls me close to him.

"I hate him, Matt. You were right. So was Chevvy, and Nick, and Chris, and everyone else!" I cry out, he holds me close to his chest and rubs my hair.

"He'll never love you like I do, (Y/n)." Matt confidently says.

I look up at him, "huh?"

"I love you, (Y/n). I always have."
