I'm glad you have someone who is there for you. Support people are such a blessing.

I went to a different high school than my boyfriend and his prom didn't allow non-students to attend; it was really stupid. So we refunded our tickets and took a train down to Chicago instead. We had an awesome time and saved a lot of money. I still think it was one of our better adventures.

Contrary to the mainstream narrative, prom is not the defining moment of your high school career. I hope you and your boy can find a way to still have a magical night.
