Rock the Boat
“It was prom night when I went to pick up Courtney and found her two older brothers waiting for me on the front porch. One had a box of condoms in his hand, the other a rifle. Luckily for them, I wouldn’t need either of those things—Courtney and I were nothing more than family friends.
Shay had been too sick and battling another bout of pneumonia. I didn’t want to go to the dance at all, but she insisted it was a rite of passage every high school senior should experience. Since I’d do anything t...o make her happy, I went to the prom against my better judgement.
The second Shay was feeling well enough to go outside, Courtney helped me plan a private prom for the two of us. I put my tux back on and took Shay to the park behind her house. The dinner was catered from her favorite restaurant. I played music from a CD I made with all her favorite songs, and we danced under the weeping willow tree, surrounded by her favorite flowers.
There were only a couple weeks of school left, and soon we’d be set free to live our lives however we wanted.MoreLess
