Thanks be to EBT.
Bella was excited when I told her about Ben asking me to prom. She teased us at the lunch table the next day as she rearranged the collective prom plan to include the fact that I had a date.
You were quiet as Bella giggled about matching dresses and tuxes and corsages.
Bella had just asked you what was wrong when Jasper and Alice arrived at the table holding hands. Jasper was teased when Alice explained that he had asked her to prom.
You tried to join in, but I could tell something was off.
So could Bella.
But she held your hand and gave you a kiss.
Your face brightened.
Until you looked over at me, realizing Ben had just taken my hand in his.
