JESSICA'S POV

Here we go again, Kendall and I have been spending more time together and talking more again. Of course we aren't dating yet and the last time we kissed was that day he came to my dorm at 5 am. I have finished college and now I'm getting ready for my graduation.

I put on my white off the shoulder tie front wrap hem dress and twirl in it happily before I heard a knock. As I went to go open the door I was greeted with big hugs, it was my family! I could see tears forming in their eyes and I could tell I had made them proud.

"Mommy I missed you, how was the flight?" I asked.

"It was good hon, you look amazing." My mom said.

"We missed you." My mom and siblings all said in unison. We all laughed.

"I'm getting ready right now, so you guys can just do whatever you guys want. We still have an hour and thirty!" I smiled at them.

I went back to my mirror and sat on my floor, I curled my lashes and applied mascara and a bit of blush. I put on some lip balm and now I was done with my face. Onto hair, I curled each of my long brown strands of hair.

I slid my white thin strap chunky heeled slingback sandals on and showed my mom and siblings the finished product! Just smiled and an open jaw, plus tears may I add was a good enough reaction for me to know I looked good.

Graduation was starting soon so we all needed to get moving so we could find our seats. I'm expecting the guys to come and they'll be sitting next to my family.

This is it, I'm graduating. I hear my name being called, "Jessica Pascual." I walk up the stage and shake everyone's hand with my diploma in my other hand. I hear the loudest screams from my family and the guys who I didn't know had made it.

I am finally done with college, I run over to my mom and siblings hugging each and everyone one of them. Of course the moment I begin to cry, my mother decides to take photos, she took a couple of me solo then a lot of group ones with my siblings. She got the guys to take pictures with me too but not before I got to talk to them for a little bit.

"Congrats Jessica, I'm so proud." Carlos said as he handed me a bouquet of flowers, he acted like another parent to me and that made me laugh.

"Thank you Carlos." I hugged him has he did too and gave me a peck on the cheek.

"The beautiful lady finally graduated, congrats Jess." James said kissing me on the cheek and giving me a hug, also hanging me a bouquet of flowers.

"Thanks Jamie." I gave him a tight squish before grabbing his flowers for me.

Then I turned to Logan, "Jesss! You graduated, now you can help me become a doctor. Ha get it, because on the show that's what I wanna be?"

I laughed, "you're definitely out of this world Logan."

"Here's some flowers." He smiled.

"Thank you so much," I hugged him tight.

"Ready for my flowers now?" A tall, blonde boy with green eyes said.

"I'm not sure, the guys got me a lot I don't think there's room for more." I joked.

"What, you have to take mine. They're your favorite." He made the cutest little pout.

"Ok ok, thank you. Kendall they're beautiful." I went and hugged him with all the bouquet of flowers in my hands.

"Happy graduating day beautiful, you deserve it all Jess." He whispered in my ear before kissing me on the cheek.

I kissed his cheek back then we were interrupted by my mom to take photos. My cheeks were hurting from smiling too much, this day was truly filled with love.

We all went out to dinner to Red Lobsters, my favorite. My mom had made a reservation that way a table would be ready for us when we arrived. My mom told me to go in first to make sure our table was ready since the reservation was under my name. There was a lot of people tonight so I wasn't sure if we would have one. The guys and my family are currently trying to find a parking spot.

I walk inside and make my way to the first person I see.

"Hi, I have a reservation for Jessica." I tell the guy.

He smiles at me, "your table is ready would you like to go now?"

"Could we wait just a bit? I'm waiting on my friends and family." I smile at him.

"Yes of course, special occasion? You look stunning." He asked.

I let out a nervous laugh, "yes! I just graduated college today."

"Congrats, what was your major?"

"Nursing." I smiled.

"You'll make a great one for sure! Are you single?"

My eyes widened at his question. "Excuse me, what?" I wasn't sure of what I just heard.

He chuckle, "I asked if you were single."

I heard the door behind me and saw everyone was finally coming, I turned back to the worker. "No, I'm not. My boyfriend is here." I smiled.

"Where is he? I'm not sure I see him."

I think Kendall might've heard our conversation, "I'm right here, is there a problem?"

"No problem at all." The host said, he grabbed some menus and lead us to our table.

Kendall held my hand until we got to our table, I sat in between my mom and Kendall.

Kendall leaned over to me, "so I'm your boyfriend now?" He smirked at me.

I playfully pushed him away, "you wish Ken."

"Jess I do." He told me.

I rolled my eyes at him jokingly put the menu in his face for him to focus on.

We all ordered, got our food, and had a great dinner. Now it was time to go fly back home. I had already packed everything up weeks before graduation.
