Thanks be to EBT.


The prom afterparty is at Lauren's house, and the entire ride there is loud and chaotic.

Everyone's yelling at you for hitting Jasper. Everything's forgiven, though, when Jasper says he'd do the same if he saw his 16-year-old sister being felt up.

Alice still refuses to play nice with you, though.

Bella's worried about my crying and Ben leaving.

She wants an answer that I can't give her.

Not right now anyway.

So I tell her that everything's fine and not to worry.

The house is already full, and everybody hurries in, grabs something to drink, and resumes dancing.

You act like you don't have a care in the world.

I take mine into an empty room upstairs and call Ben. I don't know what I'll say, but it doesn't matter, because he doesn't pick up. I want to text him, but I don't.

So, as I hide out and think about everything, I decide that Bella deserves this night. She deserves a prom night full of fun and happiness and laughter.

Because it all ends tomorrow.


Thank you for everything. :)

I'll see you tomorrow.
