My Stepmom Secretly Canceled My Prom Hair Appointment to Ruin My Day, But Her Jaw Dropped When a Limousine Showed Up for Me

Miss Emily? Me?

I hesitantly took the card from my dad and opened it. Inside, in neat handwriting, was a message:

“To my beautiful sister, Emily. I know things have been rough, but you deserve the best prom ever. Enjoy the limo, and don’t worry about anything. I’ve been saving up for this! Have a magical night. Love, Mason.”

Mason? My 11-year-old brother did this?

I burst into tears, but this time, they were happy tears. My little brother had overheard Carla’s sabotage and decided to take matters into his own hands. He used his saved-up birthday and Christmas money to rent the limo for me.

And it didn’t stop there.

“By the way,” Mason grinned, “Mrs. Evans from across the street? Her daughter’s a stylist, and she’s coming over to do your hair and makeup.”

Just then, the doorbell rang, and in walked the stylist. Within minutes, I went from feeling like the most miserable girl in the world to looking like a prom queen.

Mason had saved the day. I couldn’t believe it. My little brother had done all of this because he knew how much prom meant to me.

As I walked outside, feeling like a princess, Carla pulled into the driveway. Her jaw dropped when she saw me stepping into the limo. The look on her face? Priceless. I would’ve framed it if I could!

Prom night turned out to be everything I hoped for. When I arrived in the limo, everyone was staring, and for the first time in a long time, I felt like everything was right. I had an incredible night with my friends, and I knew that even though my mom wasn’t there, she’d be proud of me.
