Louis's POV

"HURRY UP LOUIS!!!!!" I heard Harry yell from downstairs

Today's our graduation day and I couldn't be more excited. I'm practicing my speech one more time. I'm so ready to go out there and wow everyone. It's gonna be great. I look one more time in the mirror and head downstairs.

"Took you long enough," Harry said

"Haha, whatever. Now let's get going"

We head to the car and begin our drive.

"You ready for this Louis?"

"The day I've been waiting for"

"How's your speech?"

"I got it all remembered so I won't stutter or anything like that while I'm up there"

"After today our lives start a new chapter. We start a new chapter together"

"And I couldn't be any more excited"
I leaned over to Harry and kiss the side of his cheek. He now has a huge smile on his face. We drive for about 2 more minutes until we make it to our school. We step out of the car and begin walking to our auditorium. Harry grabs my hand.

"Well, this it Louis. I'm gonna go get a spot. I'll see you afterward" Harry leans down and kisses my lips and then we're off our separate ways I walk down the rows of students and onto the platform. I'm greeted by the principal and all the students who will make their speeches but mine is the most important. We practice what will be said and done and how students should walk across the platform and what they should do when off. It's been about half an hour and parents start coming. I see mine and Harry come in and they are front and center for the occasion. The principals go on first giving a rundown on this year and to please silent phones but pictures are fine. Then the students who go before me make their little speeches before it's my time. Then I hear the principal said.

"And now for our Valedictorian, Louis Tomlinson."

I stand and make my way to the podium. I'm so nervous and excited. l look into the crowd and my eyes meet Harry's. He sitting there smiling at me and then he blows a kiss at me. I smile and begin my speech.

"Good evening, everyone."

The past four years here at Winchester college have been very interesting, to say the least. To give you an idea of what it was like, I'm going to take this time to tell you all a bit about what my Winchester college experience was like and the people who were a part of it. I would like to start off by thanking my mom who has raised me since the day I was born and has helped me become the person I am today. Every one of us graduating has those special people in our lives that care for us every day, and love us unconditionally. And to all of you here today, we cannot thank you enough for everything you've done for us. The plethora of achievements of this class would not have been possible without the help, support, and guidance of our parents and teachers, counselors and coaches, and the overall inspiration from the entire school community. To these mentors, I say: Our success is your success, for you have given us the courage to dare, the knowledge to excel, and the belief that we can succeed. You have been there for us with encouragement and care; you have had faith when we doubted ourselves. You have instilled in us the self-confidence needed to reach for our dreams. For all of these things, we, the Class of 2021, thank every single one of you. As graduates, we face many uncertainties in both the immediate and distant future. However, uncertainty is another word for opportunity. I said at the beginning of this speech that I was not going to give advice. We don't need it. Thank you all for coming to witness this very special day. Congratulations, happy graduation, and best of luck to the Winchester college School class of 2021!" I stand there finishing my speech then huge applause goes off. I feel very accomplished. I smile and the people and take my seat. Then the principal gets up to give diplomas. The people onstage being first. I wait for my turn.

"Louis Tomlinson," the principal says

I get up take the diploma and shake his hand while taking a picture. Then I hear Harry.

"WO000000!!! YEAAAAAAH!!! Loeyh !!! THAT'S MY HUSBAND UP THERE!!!!" He says while standing up smiling and clapping

I look around at everyone. Many people were smiling and very excited at the news. I and Harry did happen to be the most popular people. smile at him and take my seat. I sit there for about 30 minutes until it gets to Harry. I see him walk up to the principal and take his diploma and do exactly what every student before him. I got up and kissed him before pushing him so he wouldn't hold up the line. I watched him as he looked back and we both smiled at one another. I waited for about 45 minutes when the whole ceremony was done. Then the principal got up to make one final speech.

"If you would please move your tassels from the left to right. I now congratulate you all, for now, you all are high school graduations"

There are screams of joy as you see hats fly in the air. I'm so overjoyed. Then the music starts playing from somewhere. But everyone is hugging all their friends and crying. I make my way to the floor and find Harry. He runs up to me and picks me up spinning us in a circle. Then the friends come up to us.

"We did it, everyone," Liam said

"Yeah we did," Jackson said

"I actually can't believe we're all right here. It's like we all just met one another or like freshman year was yesterday" Zayn said

"Crazy how fast tomorrow and today go," Liam said "Yeah But the memories we make are what makes it last. Plus we all got that trip to go on" I said

"And the Larry wedding" Jackson squealed

"That's for sure gonna be a great memory," Harry said and leaned up to kiss him

"Lemme see the ring Louis," Zayn said

I showed them my hand and presented the ring. Their faces were shocked at the beauty of the ring.

"Harry, how'd you ever afford a ring like that?" Liam asked

"Well, it was my great-grandmothers. She's had it since WWII. The diamond is 4 carats and ranges in price from 50,000-105,270 since it's from the war and the color blue and pink combined make it worth more. So it must be worth double now" Harry said

"Wow. Harry, I didn't know it was your great-grandmothers"

"My mother wanted me to give you it. Giving it to someone special"
I blushed at his comment. We all walked to our parents who were sitting by one another. We took many photos and headed to the graduation party. It was held in our backyard. It is the perfect weather. There were lights hanging all around. A photo book, a dance floor, a minibar, and all mine and Harry's family. The night was full of chatting, dancing, and showing everyone the ring Harry gave me. We broke the news to everyone who didn't have social media. They were surprisingly supportive except for my Aunt Sally who said we were too young but I just ignored her. Me and Harry stayed up the whole night partying the night away. Having. blast. It ended up being around 3 am and I was all tired out. We both promised to have lunch with the friends and plan more of our trip. We all would like to leave in 2 weeks. I and Harry are walking hand in hand up to my bedroom and I just plop right on the bed. I'm so tired.

"I'm soooo tired," I say aloud

"Then go to sleep" I hear a laughing Harry

I get up and start to undress. I'm now just in underwear. I yawn and get ready to get under the covers then I feel someone hug around my waist.

"You look so hot right now" Harry whispers in my ear
"Not as much as you," I say to him

He turns me around so we're face to face. He leans down and connects our lips.

"I can't wait to see you walk down that aisle knowing that you mine"

"I can't wait either"

We kiss one last time before Harry picks me up and lays the both of us on the bed. I lay on his chest as he wraps his arm around me. I listen to his heartbeat as it helps me slowly drift off to sleep. Waiting for my future with Harry.
