Chapter 15: Past IV

Blake asked me out to prom two weeks before and I said yes. It was the last he would attend as a high school student, because he was a senior; and as his girlfriend at that time, I wanted it to be a memorable one for him. And no, not by giving myself to him- gross. I had prepared a surprise for him. Our relationship was going through a rough patch then; it was the stress of him preparing for college and everything, it was also due to the question: what would happen to our relationship if he went? Would we still be together or would we split up? I had a feeling in my gut that the end of our relationship was near, but I was determined to save it, so I made a compromise for him. I know it seems foolish, but I reasoned that if we could not continue our relationship, we could at least be friends.

A week before prom, everything was set:

- My Dress✔

- My accessories✔

- My appointment with the hair dresser✔

- My appointment with the makeup artist✔.
