AUTHOR'S NOTE: Heyy loves! So I know that I said that this chapter wasn't going to take as long to post, but I had to do a lot of non-canon stuff in this chapter too, and also this chapter is going to be about twice as long as usual. There's going to be loads of drama as usual in the first part of this chapter, but the second part of this chapter is going to be like ridiculously fluffy. Enough of my talking, we've got a lot to cover in this chapter, so let's get to it!
Chris called Sue on the phone. "What the hell do YOU want?!" Sue asked in irritation. "Well hello to you too. Look, Billy and I are plotting revenge on Connor White for getting us suspended. You want in?" Chris asked. Sue sighed. "Seriously Chris? You need to just give it up. Connor White didn't get us suspended. We got ourselves suspended by being bitches. Desjardin's right, we did a shitty thing. What did Connor White ever do to us anyways? He didn't even tell on Billy and the guys, he probably doesn't even know about the video either, so it's not like he could've gotten us in trouble. We have no reason to be bitchy to him" Sue said. "Bullshit! He's been begging for it ever since he came to our school, acting like he and his mother are the only ones not going to Hell. Besides, he stole your boyfriend" Chris said.
"Now who's talking bullshit? I talked to Tommy, and he has no interest in Connor White. He explained everything, and I was retarded to listen to you over him" Sue said. "Oh yeah? Well guess what? I ran into Tommy at the store the other day. He was buying a prom tux. He told me himself that he's going to prom with Connor White. Wanna know how I know it's true? He was at the store WITH Connor White. Don't believe me? I'll text you a pic" Chris said. Sue checked her text messages. Sure enough, there was a picture of Connor White and Tommy holding hands in the tuxedo section of a store. As bad as it hurt, Sue wasn't going to give Chris the satisfaction.
"Look Chris, I'm not evil like you. Tommy is single now, he can do whatever he wants. So leave me out of any stupid revenge plot that you and your equally evil boyfriend are planning for our return to school. I'm not getting suspended again, especially because of you" Sue said. "Fine. Your loss" Chris said, hanging up. Chris rolled her eyes. That dumbass bitch actually thought that Chris was going to wait for her revenge until she was back at school? No. Chris was going to ruin the little faggot's prom.
"Ugh, do you have to smoke that shit in the car? It reeks. Besides, you're already retarded enough without being high" Chris said in disgust. "Shut the fuck up bitch, this is Billy's car, you can't tell me what to do!" Billy's friend said. "Billy, make him stop" Chris whined. "Would you quit your bitchin' woman, we're almost there" Billy said. Billy, Chris, and Billy's friend Jackie were driving to a nearby farm. They had a plan for revenge on Connor White. They were going to get a bucket of pig's blood to dump on Connor at prom. They would rig the ballots so that Tommy and Connor would win prom king and queen. They would have the bucket of pig's blood hanging overhead, ready to be dumped on Connor once he was crowned. "Pig's blood for a pig" Billy had said when explaining the plan.
They arrived at the farm, and the boys carried the tools to the pigpen. "It smells like shit in here!" Jackie said with a giggle, totally stoned. Chris rolled her eyes. "Pick one out baby. Pick one that looks like him" Billy said. Chris looked around. "That one" Chris said, shining her flashlight on the wimpiest looking pig. Billy handed the sledgehammer to Jackie. Jackie walked over to the pig. "Don't worry little piggy, Uncle Jackie's gonna bash your head right in. You're not gonna feel one…" Jackie rambled. "Jeez, would you just do it already?!" Billy said in exasperation. "Ok, I got this" Jackie said. He started to swing a couple times and then lowered the sledgehammer. "I can't. I can't do it" Jackie said sadly. "Damn you guys are such motherfuckin' pussies" Chris said in disgust. "Shut the fuck up bitch" Billy said angrily. He walked over to the pig. "I'm sorry Billy" Jackie said. Billy grabbed the sledgehammer and pushed Jackie out of the way. He hit the pig on the head with the sledgehammer as hard as he could. The pig squealed for just a second before it died.
Billy held his knife out to Chris. "Wanna do the honors baby?" Billy asked. Chris walked over to the dead pig. She took the knife, and Billy placed the bucket by the dead pig's throat. "Now, it's just one quick…" Billy started to explain. Chris split the pig's throat wide open before Billy could finish talking. Blood poured out of the pig's throat into the bucket. "Good job baby!" Billy said. Billy and Chris laughed and started nastily making out.
Connor smiled at his reflection for the first time ever. His tux had come out beautifully. Mama walked into Connor's bedroom. "Red. I might've known it would be red" Mama said. "It's pink" Connor corrected. "You are immodest. Such colors are for female sinners who strut around like peacocks. I can see your chest, and the whole thing is much too tight" Mama said. "It's fine Mama. There's nothing wrong with V-necks for boys. Pretty much all clothes are tight nowadays. Colors can't be assigned to one gender, and there's nothing wrong with bright colors" Connor said, not taking his eyes off of his reflection, making sure every hair was in place. "Take it off. Take it off and we can burn it together and pray for forgiveness" Mama said. Connor turned around to face Mama. "Mama, for the first time ever, I think that I might feel just a tad bit confident. This guilt trip that you put me on won't mess me up, I've done no wrong. Can't you please just be happy for me?" Connor pleaded. Mama started smacking herself. Connor forced her to stop with his mind. "Mama, stop hurting yourself. You know it isn't going to change anything" Connor said.
Connor heard a car horn honk. Connor ran to his window, but it was a false alarm. "He's not coming. It's a trick. Just like always" Mama said. "Stop it Mama, I'm nervous enough as it is" Connor said. Just as Connor was about to walk away from the window, he saw a limo pull up to the house. "He's here!" Connor said excitedly, with a touch of relief. "They're all going to laugh at you. Stay here with me, where you're safe from these sins" Mama said. "For the last time Mama, no. I'm leaving now" Connor said, walking downstairs.
"Then I have no choice but to tell him myself what a horrible sin this is" Mama said. "Don't you dare even come to the door Mama" Connor warned. "I'll have to tell him how you were born out of sin, which is why you choose to sin so much. How you both will go to Hell and burn for all eternity with Satan if you don't repent from your homosexual sins. I'll have to tell him that you can't go because I will not let him fuck you in his car after drinking and give you AIDS which will kill you, sending you to Hell even sooner. I'll have to tell him what an abomination you both are being to God" Mama ranted.
Connor turned around and glared at Mama. "Mama. Shut. Up. Enough is enough. I will not let you ruin my happy ending with Tommy." Connor said. Connor forced Mama's mouth shut and stopped her from moving with his mind. "All this time Mama, I didn't sin, you sinned. You're the one who physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally abused me my whole life. God says in the Bible that it would be better for anyone who hurts children to have a millstone tied around their neck and be thrown into the sea, Matthew 18:6. Sounds like you have a lot of explaining to do to God. I think that it's high time that YOU go into the closet to silently pray for forgiveness" Connor said.
Connor opened the door to his praying closet and shoved Mama inside with his mind. Connor slammed the door and locked it with his mind. "Now, you're not going to say another word until I'm gone. I really am sorry it had to come to this. I'll be home early. I love you Mama" Connor said to the closet door. Mama started banging on the closet door. Connor turned on the radio with his mind and turned up the volume on the Christian music so that Tommy wouldn't hear Mama's banging.
Connor finally opened the door. "Hi, sorry it took so long to answer, I was, uh…" Connor said, fumbling for an excuse. Tommy just stared at Connor with a look on his face that Connor had never seen before. "What?" Connor asked, not sure if the way that Tommy was looking at him was good or bad. "You…" Tommy started, then trailed off. "What about me?" Connor asked worriedly, suddenly self-conscious. "You look so…pretty" Tommy said softly, almost as if he was in some sort of trance. Connor's heart skipped a beat. Tommy snapped out of his trance and blushed. "Sorry, that sounded stupid" Tommy said in embarrassment. "No. It's exactly what I always dreamed of hearing" Connor said. Both boys stood there awkwardly blushing for a moment. Tommy looked so cute in his black tux with a hot pink bowtie, an opposite of Connor's hot pink tux and black bowtie. "Where are my manners? Come with me Mr. White, your limo awaits to take you to a night to remember" Tommy said with his goofy grin, holding out his hand to Connor. "Why thank you Mr. Ross, you are too kind" Connor said. Both boys giggled and ran hand in hand to the limo.
When the limo pulled up to the school, Connor started to panic a little bit. "Do you want to just wait here in the limo for a little bit with me before we go in?" Tommy asked, seeing Connor panic. Connor nodded. "You don't have to worry Connor. I'm here with you. No one would dare do anything to you while I'm around. Besides, it's 2013, everyone's going to be too busy twerking on each other to pay much attention to us" Tommy said. Connor took a deep breath. "Ok. Let's do this" Connor said determinedly.
As soon as Tommy and Connor walked into the school gym, a couple walked over to them. "Eh, yo Ross!" the guy said excitedly. "Whatup Dawson!" Tommy said happily. Tommy and Dawson gave each other some weird hug, back slap, wrestle thing. Dawson's date rolled her eyes and turned to Connor. "I love him, but some boy things he does make no sense. Like learn how to hug normal. Hugs are supposed to feel nice, not hurt. It's so retarded" the girl said. Connor giggled. "Erika, this is Tommy Ross and Connor White. Guys, this is my girlfriend Erika, she goes to another school" Dawson said. "Oh, you guys call each other by your last names? Thanks a lot George, this whole time I thought Tommy's first name was Ross" Erika said. Tommy and George laughed. Erika turned back to Connor. "I LOVE your tux! Where did you get it?" Erika asked. "Oh, uh, I made it" Connor said, waiting to be made fun of. "No kidding, really?! That's amazing!" Erika said enthusiastically. Connor smiled. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all.
Tommy and Connor found an empty table to sit at. "Would you like to dance now, or would you rather wait for a slow song?" Tommy asked. Connor looked at the dance floor. Gas Pedal by Sage The Gemini was playing, and couples were twerking like crazy on each other. Tommy laughed at Connor's reaction. "My feelings exactly. We'll wait for a slow song. Would you like some fruit punch?" Tommy asked. Connor nodded. "Ok, be right back" Tommy said, walking away.
Miss Desjardin walked over to Connor. "Miss Desjardin! Hi!" Connor said. "Hi Connor! You look amazing! How are you?" Miss Desjardin asked. "Oh Miss Desjardin, it's all exactly like I dreamed! Tommy is simply wonderful. I think that maybe you were right, maybe happiness IS possible for me" Connor said. Miss Desjardin smiled. "I'm SO happy to hear that Connor! I need to get back to my post, but I hope that you have a great time with Tommy!" Miss Desjardin said. "Thank you Miss Desjardin. For everything" Connor said.
After Miss Desjardin had left, Tommy came back with two cups of fruit punch, and some papers. "I got us ballots to vote for prom king and queen" Tommy said. "What's that?" Connor asked. "Some people think it's a really big deal. All it is is that people vote for who they want to stand up in front of those thrones on the stage, get crowned, and slow dance in front of everyone. They're called the king and queen of prom" Tommy explained. Connor looked at the ballot. "Tommy, we're on here!" Connor said in surprise. "Well, Sue and I were nominated for prom king and queen, but then she got suspended and I came with you instead. So they wrote your name in for prom queen in Sue's place. Is that a problem?" Tommy asked. "No. Actually, it would be kind of cool to be queen of something. And the crowns are beautiful" Connor said, looking over at the crowns on the thrones on the stage. "You're beautiful" Tommy said. Connor blushed very hard. "So, uh, who do we vote for? They're more your crowd than mine. I don't really have a crowd" Connor said. "Well we vote for ourselves of course. I say to the devil with false modesty" Tommy said, checking the boxes to vote for him and Connor. "To the devil" Connor echoed, voting for him and Tommy.
"Hey Connor, check out the song" Tommy said. Connor listened. Diamonds by Rihanna was playing. "It's a slow song" Tommy said with a devious grin. Connor's eyes grew wide. "No, Tommy, I've never danced before" Connor said. "I'll help you. Come on, you can't go to prom and not have at least one dance" Tommy said. Tommy stood up and held his hand out to Connor. Reluctantly, Connor took Tommy's hand, and allowed Tommy to lead him out to the dance floor. "Here, put your hands on my shoulders, and I'll put my hands on your waist" Tommy said. Connor did as Tommy said and blushed at Tommy's hands on his waist. "Now we just sway" Tommy said. This was much easier than Connor thought. "And if you really wanna get fancy with it, you can do the Dancing With The Stars" Tommy said mischievously. Connor was about to object, but Tommy took Connor's hands anyways. Tommy spun Connor around once, and then hugged him from behind and started swaying again.
After a moment, Connor spoke up. "Tommy?" Connor asked. "Yes Connor?" Tommy replied. "Why am I here?" Connor asked. "Because I asked you" Tommy said. "Tommy, I'm serious. Why me?" Connor asked. Tommy spun Connor back around to face him and grew serious. "When Billy and the other guys were beating you up in the boys' locker room, I just stood there and watched. I should've tried to help you. I felt horrible about it, and wanted to find a way to make it up to you. Sue didn't care. We fought about it, and I dumped her. That's when I decided to ask you out to prom. Little did I know that deep down, I felt something more for you. I slowly started to realize it with the more time I spent with you. And now I'm at prom with one of the best people ever" Tommy said with a smile. Connor blushed.
"And what about you? Why did you say yes to me when we had barely spoken?" Tommy asked. "Because…I…I…I've always had a crush on you" Connor confessed. "Have you now?" Tommy said with a smile. "Yes. I really, really, really, really, really, really like you Tommy" Connor said, blushing super hard. "Well guess what? I really, really, really, really, really, really like you too Connor" Tommy said genuinely. Connor's heart stopped for a moment as Tommy's face got closer to his. Their lips touched, and as the two boys kissed, Connor finally knew what happiness felt like.
Tommy and Connor sat down at their table while fast songs were played. Connor had his head on Tommy's shoulder, and Tommy ran his fingers through Connor's hair. "Hey Connor?" Tommy asked. "Hm?" Connor responded. "Do you really have to be home early? Cuz a couple of my friends were going to go to the Cavalier after prom…" Tommy started. "It's ok" Connor interrupted. "What is?" Tommy asked. "You can go spend time with your friends, I understand. I can always have the limo drive me home alone" Connor said, trying not to sound upset. "That's not what I was going to say at all. I want you to come with me" Tommy said. "What?" Connor asked in confusion. "I want everyone to meet the real Connor White, who I hope will one day do me the honor of becoming my boyfriend" Tommy said. Connor's heart skipped a couple beats. "Well, I guess I don't HAVE to be home early" Connor said with a smile. Tommy smiled down lovingly at Connor, leaning in for a kiss. Connor happily kissed Tommy back. Connor smiled happily. Thanks to his telekinesis, Connor would be able to handle Mama from now on. Connor finally had Tommy Ross. No one would dare bully Tommy Ross' boyfriend. It finally seemed like Connor was getting his happy ending.
"Ladies and gentlemen! May I have your attention please! It's time for the moment you've all been waiting for! It is now time to crown prom king and queen!" a student announced from the stage. The room grew silent as everyone watched the boy on stage open the envelope with the ballot results. "And your 2013 prom king and queen are…" the boy said, pausing for dramatic effect. "Tommy Ross and Connor White!"
AUTHOR'S NOTE: AWE, Tommy and Connor are SO CUTE! I hope nothing bad happens to them. So this chapter was really long, it's the longest chapter I've ever written for any story. So much happened! So I've decided that it's best if I just take my time with these chapters, so it might be a little while until the next chapter is up, especially since it's pretty much the most important chapter. Just be patient loves, the next chapter is coming! Reviews would be appreciated!
