"I still can't believe how beautiful you look." Eddie stated for the fourth time as he took a seat on the couch, waiting for Melissa to complete that last finishing touched on her make up. I sat down on the couch next to Eddie. He wrapped his arm around my waist and I turned and smiled at him. "Thanks." I replied.

"Loren, come here right now!" Melissa exclaimed. I groaned and before I stood Eddie grabbed my left hand and kissed it lightly. "Have fun." He said with a smirk. I groaned and made my way to my room. "And what is the major problem?" I asked and she then pushed me on the bed. "What the heck?" I asked loudly. Mel failed to answer but the pulled my dress up and placed something on my upper right thigh. I looked down at my leg and understood. "You forgot your garter." She stated coolly. "Thanks." I muttered.

I stood up off of the bed and, made my way to my mirror, fixing my dress. "Are you ready yet?" I asked and Mel scoffed. "Lo, you can't rush the process." I rolled my eyes and made my way out of my room. "Come on." I added and I heard footsteps behind be telling me that she was right behind me. I walked down the halfway, turned the corner and saw my mother taking pictures once more. "Lo, join in with Eddie." My mom stated. I made my way over to him and as soon as I was close enough I felt Eddie's arm snake around my waist. "Hello gorgeous." He said. I looked up at him and kissed his cheek. "Alright let's get this over with." I stated as I pulled away from him and turned to face my mom.

So many pictures. Once Eddie and I finished my mother wanted some of just me, then me and Mel, and then finally all four of us. We finished about an hour later and then started to make our way to the car as fast as possible. I almost fell afloat on my face when I attempted to get into the limo, but luckily Eddie was there to catch me. Like he always is.

"Oh my god!" Melissa stated as she stepped into the limo. I realized that this is her first time in one of them, and so is Adams. Eddie and I are used to it because of our careers, but I remember the first time that I went in one; I thought that it was the coolest thing ever. So I understand her reaction.

When all of us arrived and at the grand march and got out of our limo we were the center of attention. Crap. I hate this, but of course Mel loves it, I believe that Adam is indifferent and Eddie is just trying to act normal. Once mine and Eddie's name was announced the crowd of parents and the other dates erupted in cheers. Why, I don't know. I became blinded by the bright white flashes surrounding us. Eddie and I linked elbows as we made it down the three steps and then finally into the room where we will be dining.

I looked around, and took a deep breath. It was stunning. The tables were covered in white clothes, in the center there where crystal beads hanging down from the ceiling. The poles were wrapped in white Christmas lights, similar to the ones that Eddie had put up in his apartment, also white tool. Also there were glass vases with white roses in them. The whole look was very elegant and classy. I looked over at Eddie and he was smiling. He and I unlocked arms and then he took my right hand in his left. We found our name plates in front of the circular white plates with gold painted on the rim of them, and sat down.

"So what do you think?" Mel asked. I couldn't tell if she was asking me or Eddie or Adam, she never clarified. I looked over to Eddie who sat on my left and smiled. "It's fantastic." He stated. "I have never been to a prom before." He added. I kept my eyes locked on his face, after a few moments he turned to face me and smiled a bit sadly.

I knew what he was talking about, he was referring to the fact that he never had a normal childhood and he never went to a public school and therefore he never went to any type of dance or school function for that matter. This was probably the most normal thing that he has done in a long time regarding schooling. After all he never sat in a smelly class room with yellowing walls or had to deal with incompetent teachers who assigned you an insane amount of homework very night. In some ways he was lucky, but he did miss out on the social aspect of everything, and I knew that he really whisked that he could have had a somewhat me normal childhood. But I also know that given a second chance he wouldn't have changed being on tour with his parents for anything, which was one of the many reasons that he and his family were so close.

Dinner was pleasant, and before anyone knew it, everyone was on the dance floor, enjoying themselves. After the big arrival everyone settled down and thankfully began to become developed into their night and dates and forgot about us. I carefully slide my plate forward a bit after I placed my silver fork on the small dessert plate before me. I looked up and around the room once more, taking in all of the decorations. I have to admit, I was surprised how great this place really does look. In the center of the room there was as a large space that was currently vacated as everyone was finishing their meal, for dancing. On the farthest wall there was a small stage, it was similar to the one at MK. There were also white, purple, and silver balloons in an arch formation for the entrance into the room that I didn't really notice before. I glanced up at the ceiling and looked at all of the lighting. Over a few of the larger tables there were white Chinese lanterns and over the remaining ceiling was covered in the white lights just like the poles.

I looked at the stage once more and noticed that the band was setting up. The dance portion of the night has begun. The band started to play and I noticed many couples were heading out onto the floor. The upbeat music stopped and was replaced by a slower song; I looked to the other side of the table and saw Mel and Adam making their way to the floor as well.

"Do you want to dance?" Eddie asked. I focused my attention back on him. I saw him stand up and he leaned down slightly and offered his left hand. I smiled, places my left hand in his right and them stood. "You remember that I can't dance right?" I asked as he guided us to the hard wood dance floor. "Don't worry, you will be great." Eddie replied. "Just like you are at everything." He added. I rolled my eyes Eddie pulled me closer to him. I wrapped my arms around Eddie's neck and rested my head on his shoulder, meanwhile Eddie placed his hand on my waist and we slowly began to dance.

After the song ended I slightly lifted my head off of Eddie's neck, I opened my mouth slightly to say something but before I got a chance to I was cut off by a kiss. I felt his lips move slowly and gently against mine, his grip also tightened around my waist, pressing me closer to his chest. He and I pulled away once air was needed. I placed my chin on his shoulder and looked over at Melissa and Adam who was a few feet away from us, she was starting at me and once I realized this fact, she winked and me and I buried my face into his neck. The next song began to play and we started to dance once more.

Eddie and I stayed on the floor for most of the night. He and I began to laugh as a few of the upbeat songs, ended up being Eddies. When it came on every turned and looked at us. He let go of my waist and smiled at me, he then began dancing and singing along to his own voice. I stood there and just laughed, but after a few moments I joined him and soon everyone else did too. The night has been perfect; however it is only just beginning. He and I made our way back to the table and sat down; we needed to take a break. I whipped the sweat off of my forehead that started to form sometime earlier. I took my phone out of my silver bag and looked at the clock; it was already eleven thirty. "See, you were great." Eddie stated. I looked up from my phone and over at him. I then grabbed his right hand with my left "Only because you were there." I added sweetly.

The dance ended soon after that and from what I could tell Eddie had a good time. So did Mel and Adam, but I mostly care about Eddie. We made our way out of the giant room and back to our limo, however it was only me and Eddie, Melissa 'found' another way home. We had this all planed out. I smiled to myself as Eddie opened the door for me once again.

"Where are we going?" He asked. I looked at him sweetly and smirked. "Sorry babe, but I'm not going to tell you." I replied and Eddie attempted to make his best angry face with his lips pressed together, eyebrows narrowed and the creases on his forehead began to get larger. I looked at him and laughed, I couldn't help it, and he looked so cute whenever he was mad. "Fine, then I'm not going to talk to you." And with that he pouted, crossed his arms across his chest, and he leaned against the seat. I looked at him rested my head against the window. Yeah, I would like to see how long he can't talk to me for.

I was right; in about five minutes he scooted closer to me and grabbed my waist. He then pulled me us so I was on top of him. I closed my eyes and rested for a few moments, after all it has been a long day.

"Loren, we are here." Eddie said as he gently slid my body off of his lap. "Where ever we are." He added, and I smiled. I quickly stepped out of the car and covered Eddie's eyes with my hands. "Is this really necessary?" He asked. "Yes, it is." I replied somewhat sassy, and Eddie just chuckled. I looked around. I haven't been here for so long. I led Eddie to the front door, found the key, and then opened it. Wow I haven't been here for so long, but I still remember it perfectly.

"Can I open my eyes yet?" He asked, and I slowly removed my hands and walked in front of him. I saw his eyes flutter open and his head moved from the right, to the left and then back again.

"Where are we?" He asked and I took a few steps forward and kissed his cheek and pulled away slightly.

"Welcome to the location of most of my childhood summers."
