Lives on the Road

Graduation Afterparty

Eli's POV:

The end of senior year had finally arrived. We have been waiting our entire high school life for this day. The day we began our life's. My friends and I have been planning on moving in together for quite a while now and now that we graduated and we had our apartment set up and ready nothing was really stopping us. "Hey Cass come on let's go see Jaz I'm so glad she could come! Now it's time for the party at Delilah's house" I told Cass as we walked to our cars. Delilah planned the best afterparty at our new apartment for all of our friends. Delilah, Sarah, and Tavia decided to get a head start and go to the apartment sooner to set up food and music and what not. "Yeah I'm so glad she came!" Cass replied. "Eli! Cass! It's been way to long miss my hot self?" We heard Jaz call out. "Groosssss" both Cass and I said at the same time. We all laughed and hugged as she congratulated us. Last time we saw her was when she left sophomore year. We wrote letters but didn't really get a chance to see each other. Now she was 18 and had her freedom so she decided to move in with us. Sarah and Tay were going out of state for college so they were just going to travel with us. "Hey babe." I heard Sam say to Cass as he kissed her cheek. They have been together for the longest. And well Jaz had her own boyfriend also which she tagged along. I had Jake. We started dating about a year ago. He was literally the best decision I had ever made. "Hey took you long enough" Jake said as he approached me. "Sorry I was kind of busy oh you know graduating" I laughed as I punched him lightly. "So here's the plan I will take Chris with me and head over and you guys can car pool with your men and we will meet you guys over there." Jazmin explained as we all got in our cars. Jake decided to drive my car. Jake was an outgoing guy he was a year older than me and he was going to college here so things worked out pretty well between us. "Hey before we head out is it okay if I take you somewhere first?" Jake asked sounding a little suspicious. "Sure thing as long as you don't plan on leaving me in another country." I laughed causing him to smile.
He took me to the park but it was a cabin there that belonged to his family. "I have a surprise for you. I got some contacts and I got you this." He said pointing at an amazing looking travel bus. "It's a bus that belongs to me now and we will finally get to travel with all of our friends and see different places before you start college I'm on vacation so it works out great" he said . I was so excited we have been saving up money since sophomore year for traveling we will finally get to do so. I couldn't help but hug him he was amazing. "I'm so proud of you. Look at you you are graduated and now about to go to college . And you look beautiful now let's go to that party of yours. Oh and before I forget here." He said handing me a small box. It was a charm with a graduation cap and a 2017 on it. "Wow it's beautiful thank you!" I say kissing him lightly. I put it on a charm bracelet he gave me for our anniversary having a bit of all of our memories. "Well let's go before I get yelled at by the girls" I say laughing. "Your right come on" he replied.
"Where have you been Bestfriend the people will be arriving soon!" Delilah yelled as I walked inside. "Keep your shit together Jake we need her too!" She said turning and looking at Jake. "I brought food" Jake said apologetic and handing them pizzas. "See that's why your my favorite" replied Delilah smiling. Cass and Sam were in charge of the DJ sam had his contacts. While Jaz and Chris were in charge of drinks, Delilah Sarah and Tay were in charge of getting the word out and well everything involving decorations and what not . Jake and I had the food. Sooner than we expected so many people started to arrive ... From music to drinks to food and too friends this was a great ending to an unforgettable year. But we still have a journey waiting ahead of us I can't wait to tell them about the bus. Our trip is on track and we are leaving soon...
