chapter one.

I stood in front of the mirror in my room. My dress was a perfect dark purple in form of a ball gown. It was strapless with a few rhinestones on it. I touched up my hair with some hairspray and fixed my make up. My mom called from downstairs meaning only one thing, Tyler was here. Tyler Seguin was my boyfriend, we had been together for two years and I couldn't be more happy. Except I couldn't get the fact that he would be leaving to play in the NHL this year, he would be in a different city and I would be stuck in New York for photography school. I walked downstairs and greeted Tyler with the biggest smile on his face.

"Wow, you look beautiful. Not that you don't ever look beautiful, it's just--" He was mumbling again, I cut him off with a kiss. He gripped my face with his hand and returned it.

"You clean up well" I smiled adjusting his tie. He slipped on my corsage and I pined the matching flower to his suit. My mom forced us upon pictures before we climbed into the hummer limousine and headed to pick up Ally, Gina, Gabby and Christina with their dates. After we get them we head to the Hilton Hotel where prom is being held. Tyler helped me out of the limo and we walked into the lobby. I stopped before heading into the room where everyone was dancing.

"What's the matter babe?" He asked, placing his hand on my back. I looked around for a minute and saw my friends happily with their boyfriends. I mean I was happy but Tyler would be leaving soon, then what was I suppose to do?

"Can we go upstairs for a minute?" I asked. He grabbed my hand and we took the elevator to our room in the hotel. We took a seat on the bed. The room looked out of the town, it was actually really pretty.

"Is this about-" He started.

"Yes. Ty, I don't want you to leave!"

"Steph, come with me then! You know it wouldn't be a problem, we can get our own place and-"

"Tyler. We can't, I'm going to New York and we are just out of high school. What if you're not making enough, this could be bad. It can be really far away. I don't wanna loose you" Before I could go on anymore Tyler grasp the side of my cheeks and pulled my lips to his. He held on with everything he had before he finally pulled back.

"You're never, ever going to loose me. I love you" My whole body froze. He said it, he said he loved me. I was speechless for a few minutes but I finally got control of my body back.

"I love you too" I smiled. With that he brought me to another kiss and we made our way back down to the ball room. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
