A Boy Asked Me to Dance at Prom Because No One Else Would Due to My Scars – The Next Day, His Parents and Officers Showed up at My Door

That truly surprised me.

He explained that after dropping me home, he’d gone to Taylor’s house because her parents were away and he needed advice about finally telling me the truth.

“I planned to come and talk to you today.”

I looked at him for a long moment before asking what still bothered me most.

That truly surprised me.

“Why would Mason do something like that?”

Caleb shook his head slowly.

“I honestly don’t know.”

Then his expression changed slightly.

“But maybe it’s time we asked him ourselves.”

An hour later, Caleb drove us to the correctional facility two towns over.

Taylor stayed in the car while Caleb and I went inside for the visitation.

“Why would Mason do something like that?”

***

The entire drive there, my stomach stayed in knots.

Part of me expected Mason to look terrifying after everything I’d heard about him over the years.

Instead, when he walked into the visitation room, he just looked tired and older than his age.
