Chapter 8: Graduation time (flashback)

Crystal passed all her finals and officially is graduating high school this evening. She is so happy we get to celebrate her high school graduation and her birthday together.

Today is also her birthday she is now seventeen. She is legal now for us to be dating but I am still not going to sleep with her until I take the next step. 

We are leaving tomorrow and we are going to spend the next two weeks in The Smokey Mountains. 

Joey, Donnie, and Danny flew in yesterday. Jon flew in last week and he has been staying with me. 

My mom and dad flew in earlier this morning for her graduation. This is going to be so great. My family can finally see Crystal's hometown. 

Her parents have a restaurant reserved for her graduation party. They ordered her a cake and got her a few presents. 

Mom keeps asking me if Crystal will move in with me since she is graduating and I explained to her that even tho she has graduated she is still a minor. 

Her mom and dad agreed to let her go stay in Boston with me for a month. So we can spend time with my family also. 

We are going in August and will return in September. We enjoyed our time in Cairo and Moscow. 

Crystal loved the pyramids and she loved the pictures we took there. I already have pictures of us all over my house.

I even hired a photographer to take pictures of us. They turned out really well. So, when she isn't here I can look at our pictures together. 

I have photos of us in Australia, Cairo, Seoul, Sweden, and Ireland. I have pictures from the Waffle House and from her birthday party. I even have photos of us just hanging out at the house together. 

I want to capture all of our moments together. Even my two previous girlfriends never got pictures of us the paparazzi did at events and such but none that were taken by us.     

She is going to attend the music awards with me. I was a little afraid that would be too much for her but we are performing so I have to attend. It's not until January thank goodness.

We came back to the states after Mexico City and before Australia to film for  Arsenio Hall because someone started a rumor that we lip-synced after Milli Vanilli was caught. 

We came to Hollywood filmed the show and then returned the next day. I took Crystal to the beach and we went to tour the filming locations for her favorite show Beverly Hills 90210. 

We also drove to Malibu, where Baywatch was filmed, Rodeo Drive, and Beverly Hills. We had a great day and then returned to our tour before the Australia shows.

We were all exhausted but did the best we could. Once we could sit down to recharge we all took advantage of that even Crystal.

So, today is my girl's day she is graduating and it's her birthday. I bought her some clothes, shoes, and a new jewelry set in blue since that's her favorite color. 

The guys and I are hanging out at the house prior to the ceremony. I told Crystal I am ordering a limo for everyone. My parent's arrived earlier today. 

I hired the decorators and servers for her party tonight. We worked together to plan it they rented the space, paid for the caters, and bought her cake. I hired the decorators, the wait staff, and the DJ to play the music.

All her invites to the party that was sent out were returned with everyone coming. 

"Hey, sweetie are you ready to see her graduate?"

"Yea, mom I am so proud of her. She toured the world with us and completed all her assignments for two grade levels to graduate today. I am so thankful that I have friends like I do because they helped her out a lot."
