"What time will you guys be home?" My dad asks as we all start giving our parents hugs before we leave.

"We aren't sure, we're stopping home to change after, so like around like eleven thirty, and then the after party starts at twelve-fifteen. So we won't be out super late maybe like two am?" Now typically that would be super late, but because we are all together and in town and he knows where we will be, our parents usually don't care.

"I would think you guys would start right after," Aaron snorts

"Nah not this time," Tyler grins "The girls insisted on changing, not wanting to get their dresses dirty and have left us with the task of setting everything up afterwards," We actually all had separate dresses we never told the boys about that we were going to change into for the after party.

"Okay, just please be careful," Cheri grins, giving all of us hugs

"And Safe," Kay adds

"We always are," Jordan smirks as he released my mom

"Kazer, don't let her do anything stupid," my dad grimaces at the thought of his little girl drunk. He knew it was going to happen, he just wanted to make sure I didn't get into any trouble.

I really wasn't planning on getting to that point though.

"Me? Stupid? Father I'm offended," I feign hurt as I put a hand over my heart "I am the most responsible one here,"

That earned snorts from all my friends, I even knew it wasn't true. Ace was definitely the most responsible.

"Sure you are," my dad laughs as he gives me a hug "You look beautiful baby girl,"

"Thanks dad," I grin before releasing him and grabbing Co's hand "We'll be good tonight, promise,"

"Kazer, I mean it, no matter what she says, I don't need another jumping off the roof type incident," my dad states sternly looking at Co who just laughs

"I promise, sir," he laugh before giving my dad a hug "Thank you," I hear him mumble right after my dad says something to him. As he walks over to me, I see his eyes water a little before he just smiles at me

"What?"

"Nothing," he grins "I love your dad,"

"He loves you too,"

"Alright, go have fun," Kerry, Em's mom smiles as she shoes us away "Our babies are all grown up y'all,"

"Love you guys!" We all yell as we speed away in our cars.

Every year prom was held at a giant fancy golf course a town over, It was a short drive to the hall. But no drive is complete without all of us practically screaming the lyrics to our favorite song. Definitely a surefire way to pump us all up.

"It's prom night bitches!" Em yells, hopping out of A's truck

"Emma, don't say bitch," Mrs. Ria grins at the front of the parking lot. She was directing people into the hall.

"Sorry Mrs.Ria," Em grins before giving our favorite teacher a hug "Can we take a picture with you?"

"Of course!" Mrs. Ria laughs as all the girls gather around her to take a picture as A snaps one of us. He then hands the phone to someone else to take pictures of our full group.

"Okay go have fun y'all!" She pushes us away all towards the entryway of the hall as we bid her goodbye, bound to see her again later, inside.

"Damn this is gorgeous!" You can't help but smile as you walk into the huge hall. There was a giant dance floor in the middle of everything that people were already crowding. Surrounding the dj and dance floor were tables set up for dinner that was about to start. The combines with the many decorations to match the 80's theme and party lights flashing, it's was awesome.

"Well hello miss bails," I hear Travis's familiar voice approach "You should dress up like this more often babe," he flirts and I just laugh, I don't think this joke will ever die.

"Just to impress you? C'mon you should know by now you're not that high on my priority list,"

"Ouch, good one," he grins before doing the guy hug thing with all the boys. "I'm surprised you didn't punch me for that one, that's become part of the joke too,"

"I'll give you a free pass on this one, she already roasted your ass enough," Co runs, throwing his arm around my shoulders. I quickly slide out of it though as I hear one of the top songs on mine and Em's throwback playlist come on.

And that was when Taio Cruz started singing dynamite and the four of us girls ran to the dance floor.

—————

"It's the last slow dance B," Co grins as he takes my hand. We'd been dancing all night, who knew Co actually had some rhythm. I'd been teasing him all night but we all knew he was a better dancer than I was.

'Perfect' by Ed Sheeran began to play and we both started swaying to the music along with everyone else. It was one of our favorite songs.

"You look perfect," Co smiles down at me and he tightens his grip around my waist

"I thought the dress might be too much but I actually kinda like it,"

"It's perfect," he grins "You're perfect,"

"No I'm not Co," I say with a laugh. No one was perfect.

"The fuck you arent," he just smiles down at me, his dimple showing and the corners of his eyes creased as I just raise a brow at him "Okay maybe not your definition of perfect, but mine? Yes,"

"You're so stupid," I grin

"You love me," he smirks "and always will,"

"Hm always?" I grin as I tease him, I don't know about that

"Always have, always will princess, just the facts,"

"Oh really?"

"Yep," he nods "We're stuck with eachother,"

"I wouldn't mind that," I can't help but smile. I loved this boy. I really, really loved him.

"You better not, I don't plan on leaving your annoying ass alone any time soon," he smirks as we continue to dance

For some reason, I couldn't help but think about the fact that we're leaving in two months. He'll be in Florida and I'll be in California. It feels like we just started, I don't wanna be that far from him just yet.

"What're you thinking about?"

"Nothing important,"

"Dude I know you like the back of my hand, what's up?" He looked cute when he was concerned. His eyebrows scrunched as he looked down at me.

"Just thinking about having to leave, in a few months," I shrug "It's just scary to think about I guess,"

"I'm going to be honest, I heard Jordy talking about your early move in offer and I thought you were gonna take it," he shrugs "Not that I wouldn't support you, but it just kinda freaked me out to think that you were leaving so soon,"

"God no, I'd never take it, especially without at least talking to you first," I grin "You arent getting rid of me that quickly,"

"Damn, I thought I'd be able to have a hoe summer before college," he teases and I smack his arm.

"Hm jealous at the thought?" He grins. He knew he was my guy, he just liked to see me get jealous.

"Me? Jealous," I snort "Never,"

"Sure babe," he smirks and I just laugh a little before looking back up at him

"You'd really support me if I left early?" I ask him. I knew it'd be hard for him if I had chosen to take it. Nothing would make me want to move away from them and this town sooner than necessary though, I'll go when I absolutely have to, and that's that.

"Of course, B why wouldn't I?" He says "Obviously it would suck ass not being with you every day, but I know you'd love it out there,"

"You're too good, holy shit,"

"No I'm not B," he shakes his head "I'm just not an asshole, it would be selfish as fuck for me to be mad at you for doing something like that, I couldn't not be happy for you, just say goodbye before you leave and we got no issue,"

"I don't deserve you," I lean up on my tippy toes to kiss him

"You deserve way more," he says in between kisses

"Shut up and let me love you Caleb," I grin, looking in his eyes as he laughs. I loved his laugh.

"Don't have to tell me twice," he smiles.

We continued to dance the rest of the song until it came to an end. Co at the very end, dipping me over and kissing me as the last note hit.

"Holy shit it's like a fairy tale!" Lexi smiles as I hear Em's camera click. I can feel Co smiling against my lips and I do the same as we hear our friends talk.

He and I both can't help but laugh and end up breaking our kiss to burst in a fit of laughter. My brothers all rolled their eyes but had amused smiles on their faces. Even they couldn't deny us.

We start walking back hand in hand from the the dance floor of the dance hall to our friends who had been gathering some of their things. All smiles and laughter. I glance at co to see him already looking at me.

"What?" I smile at him

"Nothin," he shrugs with a smile mirroring my own

"If I have to look at you two give eachother lovey eyes all night I'm gonna puke," Beck gags, looking at us

"Shut up," Co and I say at the same time before laughing

"Are we ready to go?" Amy grins, linking her arm with my twin "I love these shoes but damn are my feet killing me,"

"Here," Beck grins as he bends down so she can easily hop on his back. She does so and he boosts her up on his back.

Em Lexi and I just look at our three, who just huff in response and begrudgingly let us do the same.

"This would be a really cute picture," Em smiles, resting her head on my brothers shoulder.

"Does that mean I have to get on his back?" Wes questions looking at T

"Bitch you're heavier than me, I'm the one getting carried," Tyler snorts

"Uh no way in hell," Wes rolls his eyes at his best friend

"Rock paper scissor?" T questions and they started a best of three match. The rest of us all watched their match intensely. I don't know how, but only we can be amused by stupid stuff like this.

Wes ended up winning and hopped on T's back and Brett did the same with Ace. All of us stood stood together as Em asked a girl if she could take a picture of us before her and A rejoin everyone.

The girl did as asked and began taking a lot of pictures until Tyler burst out in disgust, almost dropping Wes.

"DID YOU FART ON ME?!" He whines.

Everyone just looks at them before everyone one of us bursts into a fit of laughter

"IM SORRY IT JUST CAME OUT!" Wes says, just as equally distressed as his best friend

"YOURE SO GROSS,"

"BITCH YOU'VE PUKED ON ME BEFORE!"

"True," Tyler grins now more calm and less freaked out by being farted on

"Here you go," the girl taking pictures, hands Em her camera as she laughs at us, or more specifically Wes and Tyler.

"God you guys are ridiculous," Lexi laughs

"Oh face it, you've learned to love us," I snort. To think, at the beginning of this year, she was calling me a whore. Now she's one of my best friends. If that's not a plot twist, I don't know what it.

"Yes I have," she smiles, "I just want to thank you guys for giving me a second chance," Jordan just wraps his arm around her waist as she leans against him.

"You showed you changed and that's all that mattered," I grin "Everyone deserves a second chance especially at the age we're at now, we do a lot of stupid shit,"

"Hell yeah we do," Ty smiles, holding his hand up for Wes to smack. Of course in true dumb and dumber fashion, Wes high fives him without hesitation.

"Okay thing one and two," Ace laughs "Lets go get ready for the party,"

"Sir yes sir." they salute before following Brett and Ace to the door. The rest of us follow close behind the crowd and find our ways back to our cars

A was letting all the girls take his truck while he rode with Co, so we could go change while they set everything up.

"Love you," I give co a quick kiss before going separate ways

"Love you too!" He waits till he's a distance away to yell to me. I just laugh and keep walking.

"See you guys there!" Lexi call out to the boys

"See you there!"
