2004 (18 years old)

I was at my locker grabbing my books out when Alex the quarter back of the football team came and leaned against the one next to mine.

"Hello Shaylee" He said smiling at me.

"Hi" I said looking at him while I closed my locker "Can I help you?" I asked.

"Actually, you can I was wondering if you like to accompany me to the prom?" he asked.

I stared at him in complete shock before I started to laugh and look around "Alright where are the hidden cameras because this has to be a prank?" I asked.

"What? Shaylee this isn't a prank" Alex said getting defensive "The truth is I have always had a huge crush on you, so I thought a take a shot" he told me.

"Really?" I asked shocked.

"Yes really, look I promise this is not a prank or a joke. I will get down on my knees and beg you in front of everyone if you want me to" He said.

When I didn't respond he dropped to his knees and put his hands together "Shaylee Austin will you pretty please go to the prom with me?" he asked begging.

"Get up" I said looking down at him as everyone stared at us.

"Not until you agree" he said looking up at me.

"Fine I'll go with you now get up" I said stomping my foot.

"Great" he said jumping to his feet and kissing my cheek "What color is your dress?"

"Red" I told him.

"Perfect I will pick you up at seven" he said walking off with his friends.

I turned to leave and I was met with a cold hard stare from Colby who just shook his head and walked out. The ride home was awkward and quiet. We stopped in front of my house I looked over at him, but he was still staring straight ahead.

"I take it your mad at me" I said breaking the silence.

"Nope" he said.

"Then what's your deal?" I asked him.

"I really don't want to fight with you so just let it go" he told me.

"No, I won't let it go" I told him.

"Fine it's just I don't trust that guy I feel like he is up to something" he told me.

"Okay well you can express your concern and I am more than willing to listen, but Colby have you ever stopped to think that not every guy is going to hurt me that maybe by some random stroke of luck that he really does like me" I said.

"Yeah right" Colby scoffed at me.

"Screw you Colby" I said getting out of his truck and slamming the door.

Later that night

I was standing in front of the mirror smoothing out the front my dress. It was a red sleeveless floor length dress with sliver beads on the top. I had my hair in a updo with a braid in the front that went into the bun. I had a pair of sliver dangling earrings and a sliver necklace that had an open-faced heart pendent on it. Once I was satisfied with my look I grabbed my clutch off the bed and went down stairs.

"Aww Shay you look stunning" My mom said as I walked into the living room.

"Thank you, Momma," I said kissing her cheek.

"I have a surprise for you" she said with a huge smile and the waved her hand towards the kitchen.

"Daddy" I said running over to him and hugging him tight "I miss you so much"

"I miss you too baby girl" he said kissing my head "You look absolutely beautiful"

They took turns taking pictures with me before I sat down on the couch and stared at the clock once 7:00 hit I felt the nerves kick in but then 7:15…7:30….7:45.

Then 8:00pm hit and that's when I finally accepted that he wasn't coming, and that Colby was right. I slumped down farther on the couch willing the tears to stay in. I sat up getting ready to take my hair down when there was a knock on the door.

My dad walked over to the door and looked through the peep hole before finally opening it he gave the person on the other side a small smile and shook their hand.

"Come in" He said stepping to the side.

Colby walked in and gave my mom a kiss on the cheek before turning toward me.

"Hey" he said.

"Don't say it" I told him looking down.

Colby brought his hand to the side of my face and ran his fingers across my cheek "You look amazing" he said.

"Thanks" I said.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

"For what?" I asked.

"Prom" He said with a bright smile "Here I bought you this" he pulled out a corsage with a white rose on it. He slipped it on my wrist and rubbed his thumb across the back of my hand.

We took a few pictures together before we walked out to his truck he opened the door for me and I slid in.

"I should have listened to you" I told him once he got in the truck.

"No don't do that" he said shaking his head "I was an ass to you and you didn't deserve that" he said "Just know that I will always be your loser in aluminum foil" he said kissing the back of my hand.

Present day (2018)

"Let me stop you right there" Trinity said "Look I love Colby like a brother and maybe he was right about this Alex kid but keep in mind he was also eighteen and a dick" she added.

"right I bet he is in some run-down bar with a beer belly wearing his ripped-up letterman jacket talking about the good old days" Sasha added laughing.

"Now we love you so listen to us when we say this Colby has had chance after chance to shoot his shot and he never did and that's his fault" Trinity said.

"I agree" Sasha said "Look if you keep living your life to please everyone around you then you are never going to be happy" she added "Take a damn shot and be happy because we only get to live this life once so take chances"

"Yup" Trinity said "Look there is a possibility that you will end up hurt in the end, but you never know this could end up being the greatest thing that ever happened to you"

"I love you guys" I said hugging them.

"We love you, but I better get going before Finn turns into the Demon on me" Sasha said grabbing her bags and going in Finn's direction.

"Babe you ready?" Jon asked walking up.

"Yes" Trinity said jumping off the car and hugging me "Take a shot Shay" she said in my ear.

I popped the trunk and put my bags in when I felt two arms wrap around my waist.

"Hi baby" Elias said in my ear.

"Hi handsome" I said kissing his cheek "You ready to tell the world then deal with the backlash?" I asked.

"If you are" he said smiling.

I pulled my phone out and unlocked it turning the front face camera on us Elias kissed my cheek as I smiled. I posted the picture across all social media accounts with the same caption.

I walk with Elias….

We got in the car and headed to the next city about twenty minutes into the drive I felt my phone vibrate in my lap.

Vince: Shaylee I know its late but tomorrow I need you to come to the arena early for a meeting.
