A/N: Here's another chapter... I kinda skipped ahead in time a little bit. I hope you guys like it! PLEASE REVIEW!!
It had been months since Tim's talk with Jason. It was now a couple of weeks before Prom. Since Tim was a senior, this would be his last main function before graduation. He had wanted to ask Julie for weeks, but never got up the courage to do so. They had gotten to be really good friends the past few weeks.
He was coming home from school when he saw Julie watching TV in the living room. "Jules, I was wondering if you would like to go to Prom with me," Tim asked hesitantly.
"Tim, I would love to go with you," Julie answered.
"I just didn't know if it would be awkward for you. I consider you one of my really good friends and I would really like for you to go with me," Tim confided.
Julie smiled and said, "Tim, I understand why you're asking me. But are you positive you don't want to take someone else? I mean I would like to go with you, but if there is someone else, my feelings won't be hurt."
"I want you," he whispered.
Julie knew he didn't mean physically or anything, but a part of her wished he did. She had got over her little crush with Matt, but now she had started to develop feelings for Tim. She didn't figure she had any chance with him, so she didn't even try. She was just really excited that he had asked her.
Little did she know Tim wanted her in every way. The past few weeks he couldn't seem to get her off of his mind. Jason's words just kept repeating in his mind, but he never told her how he felt. Instead, he pushed his feelings aside.
It was now the night of Prom and Julie was in her room getting ready. Tim had gotten Eric and Tami's permission right after he had asked Julie. Tami and Julie had gone out and found her a dress for the occasion. Tim had rented a tux and was now waiting in the living room for Julie.
Julie soon came out of room wearing a spaghetti strapped blue dress that fit her perfectly in all the right places. Tim stood up when he saw her and couldn't believe his eyes. Tami insisted they take a bunch of pictures before they leave, and after about fifteen minutes they were able to leave.
Tim opened the truck door for her and she slipped inside. Once Tim was in the truck, he said, "You look beautiful, Jules."
Julie smiled before replying, "You look good too."
Tim remained quiet the rest of the way to the school. Once there, he went around and opened the door for Julie. Then she looped her arm in his before they walked inside. They soon found Lyla and Jason and went over to speak to them.
"Well look who it is," Jason said laughing at Tim, "Jules, how did you manage to get into a tux?"
Julie smiled before saying, "I guess I have my ways."
"You do know that I'm standing right here. Maybe Street I just felt like showing off Jules tonight. After all, half the players on the team would kill to be her date, but lucky me I get her all night," Tim joked.
"That you do," Jason said with a smirk.
"You guys are bad. Jules, don't let them act like you are property, but I have to somewhat agree with Tim. He is lucky to have you as his date because dress looks amazing on you," Lyla commented.
"Thanks Lyla," Julie said, "that dress looks great on you too."
The four of them stood there for a few minutes before the music began. Matt was standing off to the side with some other players when he noticed Julie. He waited until Tim walked off for a second before walking over to her. "Hey Jules, would you like to dance?" he asked.
"Sure," she stated.
Tim walked back over to Jason and Lyla to find that Julie was no longer with them. He had left to go to the bathroom but was surprised when he didn't see Julie.
"Your date is dancing with Saracen," Jason commented.
"Oh," Tim said looking out towards the dance floor.
"You know for someone who is head over heels for the girl, you sure don't seem to want to change your situation," Lyla confided.
"You've been talking to Jason I see," Tim said narrowing his eyes at his friend, "but you don't understand my situation."
"You're right, how can I possibly understand the fact that you're in love with the Coach's daughter who treats you as a son, something you've never really had in your life and you don't want to mess that up. You're right Tim, I don't know anything," Lyla said shrugging it off.
"Lyla, even if all you say is true which I will never admit to you of all people by the way, she doesn't feel the same," Tim responded.
Lyla laughed before saying, "You really are as dumb as I thought. Look just go ask her to dance."
Tim stood there for another minute before actually taking Lyla's advice and walking over to Julie. Once he got near Matt and Julie, he asked, "Mind if I break in?"
Julie smiled before Matt backed away and let Tim take his spot. After Matt walked off, Tim pulled her in closer and began dancing along with the music.
Lyla looked over at Jason and said, "When are they both going to see that they are in love with each other?"
"I don't know, but they deserve each other," Jason replied.
"I mean Tim is about to head off to college. I just wish hope they get together before then."
"Me too," Jason stated.
Lyla and Jason just continued to watch their friends dance together, oblivious of the attraction for the other one. Time was of the essence.
