"The day of the dance was one of the best days of my life. I remember as if it was just yesterday even though it has been almost a year and a half already. I believe I spent at least 3 hours getting ready for the dance, but not for my date; but for her."

It was the day of the dance and I was surprisingly very excited to go. If it wasn’t for ‘her,’ I probably wouldn’t be this excited for a dance. It was around 6 when I heard my doorbell ring. Ryan said he was gonna pick me up at around 7ish so I walked up to the door curious about who it was.

When I opened the door I saw Aiden pacing back and fourth with his hand going through his hair outside of my door.

"Aiden! What the hell are you doing here?" I yelled to get his attention since he was still pacing back and fourth.

"Thank gosh you’re still here! You need to help me. I don’t know what to do." he replied in a panicked voice.

"Do about what?"

"The dance! I can’t go anymore! I got a call from my mom saying my brother in college got into an accident so I have to go to the hospital right now!"

"Oh my gosh Aiden why did you come here? You should be at the hospital with your family! And is he ok? Do you want me to come with you?" I replied

"I don’t know how he is right now and no don’t come with me. The reason I came here is because I need you to hang out with my date tonight cause she was really excited to go and everything and I don’t want her to miss out on the dance because I can’t go. She said she’s willing to skip the dance and come with me, but I don’t want her to since this is her last high school dance. And I know she probably spent a lot of time getting ready and will look beautiful, so I don’t want her to put it to waste. And I tried calling you but you didn’t answer your phone so here I am. So will you please, please hang out with her. I know you guys have been hanging out or talking a lot recently so it should be ok right?" He said quickly while still pacing back and fourth.
