 That's not easy. You dug a hole for yourself by agreeing to go before deciding if you really are prepared to go.
You're young, but I'll tell you what I'd advise someone older to do, and you can see if you feel like doing it.
You need to have an honest conversation with your boyfriend. You need to talk about:
- Why you two have fallen out
- If he really does or doesn't mind you going to the prom. Really truly honestly
- Why you want to go to the prom
- That if you go (with another boy) you'll not cheat on your boyfriend
If you can both talk to each other about all these things and know what the other person wants and feels, then you'll both know what the right answer is. It's not easy. The most important thing is to try not to argue, just take turns letting the other person talk until they have said what they need to say.
