"Hurry up, y/n! I swear, you better not be the reason for our tardiness on graduation!" The ginger shouted from my apartment entrance.
"I'm coming, jeez." I let out a shaky breath, joining Emma in the doorway. "Does my cap and gown look okay?"
A frown appeared on her face, "you're nervous."
"No kidding, I didn't have a clue." I rolled my eyes, completely freaking out. "Sorry for sounding rude, I just-"
"You're just nervous," she repeated with a comforting smile, shaking her head. The girl took my hands in her own and squeezed them lightly. "It's scary, I know. We're graduating high school after all, so it's completely normal to be even a little bit anxious."
"I know, I know." I sighed, "everything just came so fast, though. It feels like yesterday we were just starting at Grace Field high, now we're graduating. Everything has changed, too."
"You're right, everything has changed, but for the better." She released her grip on my hands and nudged me on the shoulder playfully. "Like how you've met Ray, that's a good thing, right?" A smirk appeared on her lips.
I wish it was a good thing, but it wasn't. Don't get me wrong, the time I've spent with Ray was probably the most amazing months of my life. But at the same time, they were the worst. I mean, so much has happened. My family's dead for god sake. I miss them, I miss them more than anything. I... I just want to hug them, to embrace them. I want to help mom make dinner, her criticizing everything I add to the meal. Then, I hated it. It annoyed me, made me furious. Now, I want it. I want to hug Alexander and help him with his homework, even though I barely know how to do it. I nodded, my lips curving into a fake smile. "The best thing."
