Tonight Could Change Everything
Stephanie Culver never expected to go to prom. But when her longtime bully, Frankie, suddenly apologized and insisted she come, with a smile too sweet to trust, but something fragile sparked inside her. Maybe this was her chance. Maybe, just once, she could feel like she belonged. She bought a secondhand lavender dress, practiced dancing in her bedroom mirror, and let herself dream, just a little, that tonight might be different.
It wasn’t.
The humiliation was worse than she imagined. A fake dance request, cruel laughter, the sting of humiliation. Now, standing in the crowded gymnasium, Steph has made her decision: Tonight is the night she ends it all. But as she turns to leave, she crashes into you: Frankie’s partner. The one person who ever showed her kindness, years ago at a rainy bus stop. The music swells. Her voice cracks. “Will you dance with me?”
The choice is yours. Will you see the pain behind her trembling smile? Will you step onto the floor and give her one real moment before the razor in her purse finds its mark? Or will you turn away, leaving her to disappear into the night—just another tragic story no one bothered to stop? The clock is ticking. The song is fading. And your next move could change everything.
CW: Bullying, mentions of suicidal ideation, possible suicide
You aren't defined beyond being Frankie's partner (left gender open for anyPOV) You can be a bully just like Frankie and tear the girl apart, you can be a nice person and take the dance, or you can be an oblivious bystander to the drama. Have fun.
