Milo POV

I woke up to the sound of thumping on my window and with dried tears on my face, which didn't surprise me at all considering I literally cried an ocean last night. I reluctantly got up from my warm bed and walked towards the window only to flinch back in surprise when a rock came hurling at me, I barely dodged it in time.

"What the fuck," I cursed under my breath, I hesitantly walked closer only to see.....Matt Swan holding a bucket of rocks and a giant pink A3 poster??? "Ummm what exactly are you doing?" Matt looked very awkward for some reason as he dropped the rocks he was holding and picked with a giant glittery poster that read out in bold letter 'I'D BE OVER THE RAINBOW IF YOU WENT TO PROM WITH ME.'

I stared at him in silence for a second before I turned around, ran down the stairs and kissed him into oblivion. "That was the cutest and most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me you know, hell that's the only romantic thing that's ever been done for me except for that one time in third grade when Archie got me a card for Valentine's day cause his mom forced him too."

I said this all in one breath once we broke apart and when I was done with my mini story time Matt had the fondest smile on his face that made me want to curl up on his lap and just bask in the feeling of being loved and being allowed to love this amazing human being in return. "Well we are just gonna have to change that aren't we, note to self, give Milo as much love and as many romantic gestures as I possibly can until he's sick and tired of me and until he's completely falling over in love with me." 

I slapped him playfully on his chest for the stupid teasing smirk he had on his stupid pretty face as he said that last sentence. "You're such an ass you know," "So I've been told, anyways Lilo I should probably get back before Di and Bella figure out where I am and tease me endlessly for asking you so last minute, but I will be back to pick you up tonight." I smiled at him before telling him to be here at 7, I stood there and watched him walk to his car and stayed until he drove away.

I walked back inside and almost wished I hadn't when I saw my mother standing in front of the stairs staring at me as if she was seeing a ghost. We stood in silence for what seemed like forever before I gathered the courage to speak, "Mom, do you need anything?" That seemed to snap her out of whatever trace she was in and to my utter surprise she said "No no I'm fine, I don't need anything, I'll make breakfast and we can eat together alright," before she started walking towards the kitchen without even waiting for me to answer.

I was left there stunned before I decided to not overthink it and to just let it happen, I ended up taking a long shower and doing skincare to prepare myself for tonight.....(the last part sounded wrong, but I don't mean it like that.....I think). Then came the most annoying part of getting dressed up.....picking the outfit, I had no idea what I was going to wear so I spent the next half an hour hating everything in my closet which then led me to destroying my wardrobe.

I finally decided to wear a plain black shirt (for comfort of course) and a 2 piece suit jacket and dress pants with weird zippers that Archie gave me as a joke a few years ago (but I happen to secretly like them). 

I almost forgot about my mom's weird behavior until I heard her yell "Milo breakfast is ready," with one last look at my room I walked down towards the dinner table and my jaw dropped at the amount of food there.

I don't know if my mother got hit on the head while I was gone or suddenly decided to get a heart (the first option was more realistic) because this was the most she had done for someone other than herself in years, I can't even remember the last time I sat on this table with another living person. I was almost afraid to sit down, but my hunger won over any logic I had left and instead of worrying about being poisoned or anything I just dug in.

Breakfast passed by silently, but it wasn't an uncomfortable silence, rather it felt peaceful. Mom and I gathered the dishes afterwards and washed them together, before I went back upstairs and read twilight to kill time. Honestly who thought a vampire werewolf human love triangle was a good idea, that's literally the stupidest plot I've ever heard and I bet the vampire isn't even as hot as they think.

By the time I got to the part where the pyscho redhead and the disco ball vamp boyfriend are fighting in the third book I was ready to throw myself out of a window, so I decided to put the book down before I burnt it to ashes and instead closed my eyes for a quick nap. That nap ended up being 2 hours long and I woke up just as the sun was setting (don't ask me how, I don't write time skips in the book), creating a beautiful orange and pink hue across the sky.

I went to the bathroom and got dressed as fast as I could, because I knew that taming my wild curls was going to take a long time (and a lot of hair spray), so after 30 minutes of me cursing my genes and every single one of my curly haired ancestors I decided to give up and just do my makeup instead. 

Thankfully I was ready 10 minutes before 7, but that meant I had 10 whole minutes to think of everything that could go wrong and potentially drive myself into an anxiety attack........yay me. The minute the doorbell rang I felt my heart skip a beat (in the totally romantic way they describe it in books), I practically ran down the stairs, and took a deep breath before opening the door.

I was met with the sight of Matt in a three-piece black suit looking absolutely breathtaking, "are you sure it's legal to look that good," I blushed when I realized what Matt had said, not at all charmed by his bright grin (I don't even know who I'm lying to at this point).

"You're not half bad yourself," Matt just raised an eyebrow at that (in a very sexy way, god I can't breathe.......actually that might just be my asthma acting up), "shall we?" Matt held an arm out, which I gladly took and we walked towards his car. Matt was about to pull out of the driveway when I saw my mom come out of the house, and......wave at me? 

Before I could over analyze everything, Matt rolled down his window and yelled, "I promise to bring him home before midnight Ms Grey." I stared at him stunned for a moment and remained silent until my house was out of sight, I couldn't stop the smile that was spreading on my face, was it possible to be so in love with someone.

I stretched my hand over the console and laced our fingers together (just like they do in every Wattpad romance book), I had a feeling that tonight would be life changing, I just hoped it was in a good way (even though there was a feeling of dread that was pooling in my gut....it couldn't be that bad.....right?)

A/N: Sooo, I really hope you guys like this chapter. I kinda feel like it's a bit of a filler, but it's important for the plot soooo yeah.

I really wanna apologize to you guys for taking like 2 months to update, I legit wrote this chapter in two days, but I promise to update faster now and hopefully finish this book soon (as sad as that makes me). I am thinking of writing a sequel (I have the plot ready, but would you guys be interested in that???)

Anyways thank you for listening to my excuses and have a good day/night. I will see you guys in the next chapter (which is hopefully soon).  I love you guys!!!
