"What about this one, Sam?" Mary held up a powder pink colored princess ball gown wandering around a dress shop was not Sam's favorite thing in the world, but she had to wear a dress for prom. She'd been thinking about what color would look good on Jack; she'd thought about red but decided that he looked better in blue, dark blue, almost navy but not quite.

"Mmm..." she gave her mom her best 'really, Mom?' look, her mom understood and put the dress back.

"Well it's not my fault you didn't get a date until two weeks before the prom." She looked over at Sam, her stern tone softened by the joy dancing in her eyes. She was so happy that her daughter would get the chance to go to prom, a chance she had missed and regretted missing it. "Who is your date anyway?" the sudden change of topic caught Sam off guard.

"Jack." She said simply as if it was the most natural thing in the world even though her heart was racing at the thought of their night in her room when he had asked her to go to prom with him.

"Jack...Mark's friend jack?" Sam only nodded smiling slightly to herself but steeling herself for whatever reprimand her mother might have had about them barely knowing each other and expecting the usual uncomfortable 'don't do anything you wouldn't do in front of me' speech, but Mary just smiled and said nothing more about it. Sam let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding.

Sam eventually picked out a dark blue strapless dress with a full skirt and was gathered up and down the length of her skirt the gathers held in place by crystal buttons. When she came out of the dressing room to show it to her mom she drew a gasp from the sales clerk at the counter and turning to her she simply stated 'she didn't thing that dress would look good on anyone but for Sam it was perfect.' and gave her a wide smile which Sam returned.

When they finished shopping Sam and Mary went out for lunch at the closest O'Charleys they chatted about what kind of shoes she was going to wear, Sam had decided on flats so she wouldn't be taller than Jack "besides the heels will be uncomfortable to wear after a few dances, and since it's prom we are going to be dancing."

Mary's response was cut off by her cell phone ringing in her purse. "Hold that thought. Hello?"

'Mom? I uh need you to come home as soon as possible and on your way I need you to pick up some steri-strips.'

"What? Why? What happened?"

'Well, Jack got into a fight after school and he's got a pretty nasty cut on his chin not deep enough for stitches but still pretty deep. Just hurry home and I'll explain when you get here.'

"OK. We'll be home soon."

"Mom? What is it? What happened?" Sam asked

"Your boyfriend got in a fight at school."

"HE WHAT? Why what happened with whom? Please tell me he didn't start it. Is he okay?" it took a minute to register, "he's not my boyfriend" she said shyly.

Mary could only chuckle, "he's fine. He's just got a cut on his chin; we have to go get some steri-strips. And as for the rest I have no idea that's all Mark told me we'll have to ask him when we get home." And with that they went and paid for their meal and headed home.

ok so Jack asked me not to tell you what happened when they got home so i just couldn't break his cute little heart. uhm future notice this story is about to take a dramatic turn so stick with me im hoping this will turn out OK! please review i love every one i get good or bad! i really do!
