Lily's POV:
I was sitting with Edward by my side for graduation as we listened to Jess's speech. Danny and Will were sitting with Carlisle, Esme, Rose, and Emmett.To others, we just said that he was our cousin from out of town. We also had to explain to Will that he couldn't call me or Edward 'Mom and Dad' in public.
"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case, a princess" Jess said making everyone laugh.
"When we were 10, they asked again. We answered rock star, cowboy, or in my case, a gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this? Who the hell knows?" she said causing us to cheer and clap.
"This isn't the time to make hard-and-fast decisions. This is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love a lot" she said.
I smiled at Edward as she said fall in love. He gave me a loving smile before we continued to listen to Jess.
"Major in philosophy, because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind, and change it again, because nothing's permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask what we want to be, we won't have to guess. We'll know" she finished.
When my name was called, I walked on stage, took my diploma and shook hands with the principal.
I looked to the crowd and saw Will on Danny's shoulders as Danny stood up and cheered loudly along with the rest of the Cullens. Will was cheering and clapping for me as well as Edward when it was his turn.
After the ceremony, Edward and I walked to Will, Danny, and the Cullens. Will ran to us and gave us a hug.
"Can I wear your hat?" he asked Edward.
Edward laughed and put his cap on Will's head but it was a little too big for him.
Danny gave me a hug and kissed my head. "I know Mom and Dad are proud of you. Just like I am" he told me.
I smiled, "Thank you, Danny" I told him.
After that, I was congratulated by the rest of Cullens before we made our way back to the Cullens house for the party tonight.
Will was going to be with Carlisle and Esme during the party.
I was walking around the decorated house. The whole graduating class was here and Alice did a good job at setting it all up.
Edward went to go talk to Carlisle and Jasper about something. I walked towards the living room which was now the dance area.
Jess and Angela came up to me and gave me a hug. "Hey what did you think of my speech? Too easy-breezy? Too self-helpful? You hated it?" Jess asked.
"No, you nailed it" I told her.
