Couple of Besties

{Graduation}

4 weeks later.. Graduation Day

It's been 4 weeks and currently today it was graduation day and I was so excited mostly happy about the part of leaving school and going to start my career but I still was excited on graduating.
Jake and I had been dreaming of graduating as boyfriend and girlfriend and getting married but instead we were graduating on bad terms. I still been trying to get a hold of him but it was no use he hated me and I was about to leave without saying I was sorry.

My grandparents had allowed me to stay at the house in New York since the college I had applied to was some where close in New York. I was sad that I had to leave my friends but you gotta do the best for your future and if it means leaving your friends that's what you gotta do.

I was into my cap and gown and got to drive in a limo to school with my friends but I still felt like a part of me was missing and that was Jake.

"Riele what's wrong, are you ok?" Mason asked me grabbing a hold of hand.

"Why wouldn't I be ok, we're graduating!" I acted as if I was happy just so he wouldn't worry about me

He shaked me, "Exactly and I'm even happier now that I have you by my side." He yelled planting a kiss on my cheek.

"Ok we get you guys are a cute couple, now shut up!" Ella groaned rolling her eyes.

Which kind of made me smile. "Your just mad because we're a more cuter couple than you and Jace." I bragged smirking at her.

The whole ride to school we just bickered on who was the cutest couple while Jace just drove and listened laughing and it made feel partly better.

We were in the gym listening to people's speeches and when I heard my name announced I proudly walked up and my principal had handed me a note whispering in my ear "read it after your speech." I nodded then cleared my throat.

"Everyone I'm Riele Downs and I'm graduating highschool as a proud student, and to be honest I don't thank my teachers for it I thank my mom and friends, they were the reason I was able to get through the 3 shitty years. My mom passing away has put me through a lot but has also got me through a lot and I thank my friends. There was this person thank most and I love him with all my heart, and I'm leaving this school as and adult thank you."
Goodbye From Riele

I bowed and grabbed diploma from my teacher and walked to my seat.

Everyone shared their speech so after we had been directed to go outside to throw our caps. I gathered in a group with Jace, Ella, and Mason and we stood together holding one another's hands then on the countdown we threw our caps we shared a laugh, hugging eachother, giving kisses.

"You know I love you guys." I admitted hugging them tighter.

"Ye and we love you more!" They all said together.

Then I left to go somewhere private so I could read the note I was given. I hid my self under the bleachers and read it.

I'm sorry for not giving you the world like I said if I never would've doubted your love for me we'd still be together I'd still be holding you in my arms, kissing you, and seeing your lifelong smile. Trust me I miss you but I know I can't be with you, I happy you finally found somebody you'll love for a lifetime. I honestly didn't have the guts to say this in person but I want to see you one last time because I don't wanna to lose you forever, meet me at bleachers.
-Your ex boyfriend Jake-

I laughed at the ending Jake has always been a joker guy, I gotten out of the bleachers and walked to the field and stood there waiting and before I went I texted Ella that I'd not be with them tonight.

I knew he'd stand me up how could he write such a sweet letter just to stand me up, I walked dragging my gown behind me trying not to cry even though tears were falling down. I felt a slight drop of water on my shoulder.

"Are you fucking kidding me!?" I screamed looking at the sky as rain poured all down on me.

I was drenched in water and I was stuck in wet clothes walking home.

I arrived at my house and I didn't even feel like going to my room so I took off my gown and lied in the tub and fell asleep.
