A/N: I haven't updated in a while because I've been taking tests for the past month. But regardless, this is the final chapter O.O

"Dude, we're graduating tomorrow and prom is tonight. Cheer up!" Jaime whines, pushing my shoulder a bit. It's been two weeks since Kellin broke up with me. Since then, I haven't been my normal self, and the guys have seen that. Jaime groans when I don't respond. "He's just a guy, bro. You'll find someone else."

Jaime's words bother me. Kellin didn't do anything wrong, it was all Josh's fault! Kellin just wanted to end everything before it got out of control. The fact that he didn't trust that I could fix things, bothers me... Who am I kidding, I don't even think I could be able to fix that. "Just shut up, Jaime. I'm not in the mood." I say before getting up from the table and walking across the lunch room. While walking towards the door, I spot Kellin with a group of friends who I haven't ever seen before. He looks up at me and gives me a soft smile. I return the gesture then leave the room.

I don't really care about my last classes, so I might as well just skip. What are they going to do? Give me detention?

I head to the parking lot, where, not to my surprise, Josh is leaning against my car. He hasn't left me alone. Josh has been on my dick since Kellin broke things off. It was more of the "I told you so" than anything else.

"Go away, Franceschi." I say pushing past him in order to get to my car.

He chuckles. "Come on, Vic. Why are you still upset of that worthless kid?" My jaw clenches at these words. He has no right to tell me Kellin is worthless. If anything, he's the worthless one, causing all this trouble to Kellin just because I won't date him!

Regardless, I refuse to stoop to his level. Sadly, Josh isn't the type to just let things go. "Vic, there's no one at my place. Wanna come over?" He asks moving closer to me and lightly touching my arm.

I shove my arm away from him and open my car door. "Stop being a thirsty asshole, god!" I end up yelling at him, getting into my car and slamming the door shut.

As I put the key into the ignition I hear him call to me, "So if I stop, does that mean I have a chance?" I roll my eyes and pull out of the parking lot, not without considering running this douche over, first.

I throw my self onto my bed and cover my face with my hands. This whole situation is stupid. Why can't Josh just learn to leave me alone. Why can't Kellin trust me. Why do I have to get hurt in the end. After all I did to be with Kellin. All this is gone because of Josh!

All the things circling in my head make me angry, and I can't help but cry out of frustration, anger, and overall sadness. It's the day before graduation, I should have been thinking about what I was going to wear to prom. Better yet, I should have been thinking about what I was going to wear to match Kellin. I had bought two tickets in advance about a month ago, before all this.

There's a knock at my door and I sit up, drying my eyes. "Come in." I say trying to sound normal. The door opens and my mom walks into the room.

"Hey, Victor. You okay?" She asks as she walks further into the room to sit next to me on my bed.

"Yeah, I'm just a little upset, that's all." I mutter. She starts to smooth my messy hair.

"Is it because of Kellin? I know you loved him very much. You have the right to be upset. But if he's going to effect you so much that you can't be happy. Then you should fight for him." She told me seriously. "You think your father and I were perfect? We took a break for about half a year back in high school. The problem with this was that we had almost every class together, and he couldn't stand not being with me, so he won me back with all these stupid, romantic things."

My dad? A romantic? That's almost as funny as Mike passing his class (and sadly both things have apparently happened. We did laugh at Mike when he told us, until he showed us his report card). "I guess. But what am I supposed to do?"

My mom smiles, getting up form my bed. "I don't know, son. You have to think about it. It'll be special if you come up with it alone." As if my mom just said the best thing in the world, she leaves without another word.

"Gee thanks mom, what help you are." I say under my breath then laugh. Glad to know she can at least cheer me up a bit.

I did end up missing prom. Mainly because I had no one to go with. And I'm not going to do that take a friend bullshit, because that's gay... Okay I didn't think that through, but still. At least today is graduation day. "We're not high schoolers anymore. We're free!" Jaime yells from the backseat of my car, which makes Tony punch him on the arm. "Ow!"

"Don't yell in my ear, dick head." He glares at him. Mike, who is sitting in the passenger seat laughs.

"Yo, I'm going to get so high after this." Mike grins to himself in anticipation.

"You have no reason to, you're not the one of the students graduating." Tony responds. There's supposed to be a party tonight one the beach at 10. I don't think anyone was satisfied by the fuck fest that was prom and its after party, so they planned this one. I might as well go.

The guys and I drive up to the school and park in the full parking lot on the side of the school. We all get out and Tony, Jaime, and I all get out cap and gowns out of the trunk. We're probably the only ones wearing jeans and t-shirts, but hey, who can blame us? It's hot as hell right now.

Once we got all of our things we go into the building and get ready for the big ceremony. The hey you completed your free trial to education, pay 20,000 dollars to continue part of our lives. It only took us four horrible years, but hey, we made it!

Our teachers tell us to come to the lunch room and give us this whole speech. Even Kellin's mom told us she was proud. At this point, there we're about five minutes from the start of graduation. I'm nervous, because it took me all night to think about what I'm going to do. And hopefully I can do it.

We had to sit through so much talking. The guys and I are sitting next to a group of crying girls which doesn't make me feel any better. They're starting to call names to get their diplomas and now I'm really anxious.

"Victor Fuentes, New York University." I hear my name called and I get up to get my diploma. I give our lovely principal a shaky hand as I look out into the audience so my family can get a few pictures. I also look out to see if Kellin is watching, which he is. I turn to his mom and whisper something into her ear which she happily agrees to before letting my hand go so I can walk back to my seat.

"I am so proud of this year's graduates. All of them worked so hard to get where they are today. Half of them nearly died during finals week, I saw that myself." Kellin's mom laughs. She goes on for a while until she says the words I was waiting for. "Especially one of our students. He was a horrible student for about three and a half years. But when he met one student all that changed. Yes, he revealed a secret that no one would have guessed was true, but he also caused a lot of change. I want to give the mike to Vic." She stands aside and I nervously get up and walk to the podium.

I look around and my eyes lock with Kellin's for a second and he looks up, which is my queue to start. "So um... I know I'm no valedictorian, but here goes nothing. I really was an annoying kid these four years. But I'm leaving behind a legacy of the best pranks this school's ever had!" I yell making all the students scream yeah. "But you know. I have something serious to say. And I don't give a-" I pause looking towards the teachers for confirmation to say something--they all shake their heads of course. "fudge about your opinion on this."

Taking a deep breath, I continue. "Kellin. I know you're here. And I want to tell you that I love you. I can't bare to see you go. Please, I'll protect you from everything." Tears start to well in my eyes, but I don't let them fall. "I need you, and I know you need me. I know it hurts you not to be with me, you try to hide it! But I know how you really feel. Kellin please, be mine again."

My stunt starts to stir the crowd and I look at Kellin who's crying. Everyone looks in my direction and Kellin starts to shake his head. This action breaks my heart. And all I can do is let the tears fall as he runs out of the auditorium, and out of my life.
