A/N: I'll make this author's note a lot shorter than last chapter. So this chapter focuses on the boys... Anyway, did any of you look up the song from my last author's note? Haha, I'm basically obsessed with it. Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter 2:

Holden woke up to his phone ringing. Who in the world is calling me?! He thought. He was a bit bitter that whoever it was interrupted his dream, that was now nothing but vague images fading quickly from his mind. He knew it was about Liv and he knew he most definitely did not want to wake up. His phone continued to ring. He groaned and reached blindly for the device.

"What?" he growled sleepily.

"Good morning, sunshine." came the mocking reply. Diggie.

"What do you want Digge?" Holden said with a sigh.

"Um, dude. I'm outside your house. Are you just tired, or did you actually forget? Come on, man, tonight is prom. We gotta pick up our suits and stuff." Diggie said.

Holden's eyes widened. "Prom!"

Diggie laughed. "There you go. Now it's coming to you. Get dressed and get down here. Tick tock, dude."

"Okay, okay." Holden replied, jumping out of bed and searching for some clothes. "Just give me like five minutes."

"Okay, man, see you in a bit."

"Kay. Bye."

"Bye."

He hung up the phone and scrambled to get ready. He couldn't believe he had forgotten about prom! But to be fair, he was a bit distracted from that dream of his. Not to mention, he had just barely woken up. As soon as he was dressed, he rushed outside, where sure enough, Diggie was waiting for him. He got into the car.

"It's about time." Diggie complained as Holden closed the car door.

"Dude. Let it go."

Diggie held up his hands in surrender. "Fine, fine."

Holden's phone vibrated. The name on the screen instantly brought a smile to his face.

"Can't wait for tonight! You have my corsage, right?" the message said.

"Of course I do. Must you always doubt me?" He responded. Shortly after, his phone vibrated again.

"Just checking. See you tonight!" She's so cute. He thought. She obviously wanted tonight to be perfect. So did he.

"Can't wait! ;)" he sent back.

He honestly couldn't wait. He got lost in thought about Liv and prom.

"So," Diggie said. Holden had to try not to jump. Wow, he was spaced out. Was he that nervous? Obviously it showed, because Diggie chuckled a bit before he continued, "Senior prom. With the girl of your dreams. Excited? I know I am."

"Actually, I am." said Holden. "Maybe a little nervous." he admitted.

"What? Nervous?" Asked Diggie. "That's a new one for you. You're Holden! You don't get nervous, man!" His friend was right. He usually didn't get nervous.

"You're right. Just forget it." he said, attempting to change the subject, but Diggie wasn't gonna let him.

"Wow. You are seriously nervous, aren't you? You really like her, huh?" Diggie said, smiling.

"Of course I really like her. I mean, I… really like her." He replied.

"Okay," responded Diggie. "So obviously she's crazy about you as well. So what in the world do you possibly have to be nervous about?"

They pulled into the parking lot of the mall. "I don't know, just drop it, okay." Holden said, getting out of the car.

"No way, man." Said Diggie, getting out as well. "Come on, Holden, spill."

"Fine." he said, realizing his friend was not going to give up any time soon. "Tonight…" He took a deep breath. "Tonight was gonna be the night when I finally tell Liv that I love her." Wow. His heart was pounding. Telling Diggie about his plans made it real. He was more than just 'a little nervous'.

"Dude!" said Diggie excitedly as they walked through the mall entrance. "That's huge! No wonder you're nervous! Good for you, man!" he said, clapping Holden on the back. "I remember when Maddie and I first said those 'three little words'."

"Were you this freaked out?" Holden asked, as they wandered through the crowded mall.

Diggie let out a chuckle. "Actually," he said, smiling as he recalled the memory. "Maddie was the one who said it first. But to answer your question, yes. I about had a heart attack when she said it. But at least it made it to where I didn't have to freak out over what her answer could be if I said it first." Diggie paused. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but you two haven't kissed yet, have you?"

"Also in my plans for tonight." Holden responded, growing increasingly nervous the further this conversation went.

"Wow." said Diggie. "Big night for you, then."

"Yeah, tell me about it. And it's obvious that Liv wants it to be perfect. And I want it to be perfect for her."

Suddenly, There was a thud followed by, "Diggie!" Holden looked over just in time to see the other Rooney twin nearly tackle his friend to the ground. But Diggie is strong, so he simply just caught his girlfriend.

"Hey, Mads! What are you doing here?" Diggie asked her.

"Getting my nails done." She replied, showing them her hands.

"That doesn't sound like you, Rooney." Diggie said, raising an eyebrow.

Maddie laughed. "It's not. It's Liv. Her and my mom basically had to drag me here."

Holden froze. "Liv's here?" In his current state, he wasn't sure if he could handle seeing her. Talking to Diggie really got him freaked out for later. He needed to calm down before he could talk to her without making a fool of himself.

"Oh, yeah. Her and my mom are already probably already in the car by now. I had to go to the bathroom."

He nodded. Well, that was a relief. That meant he still had some time to build up his confidence. He looked over at Diggie who did nothing to hide his amused smirk.

"Yeah, so anyway, I'll see you boys later tonight." She said with a smile.

"Looking forward to it, Rooney." Replied Diggie with the same smile.

"See ya, Maddie." Said Holden. And with that, Maddie was on her way, and then the boys were off to get their suits.

A/N: Yay! This chapter was tough for me to write for some reason! I kept getting stuck. So as always, I hope you guys liked it, and I am so open to any feedback you have! And, I couldn't remember if Maddie and Diggie have ever said, 'I love you'. And like I said, not entirely caught up in the show. I know they told each other that they like each other, but that's different, right? Eh, oh well. According to my story, the have! Anyway, I shall be posting chapter 3 very soon!
