Chapter 37

March 24th, a year later.

Y/n's POV

Neutral eyeshadow with lips to match and concealer is all I needed. I put my graduation cap on and put my gown over a short white dress with an open back and bishop sleeves. I didn't feel like zipping it up yet since I still needed to get my shoes and perfume on. I looked in the mirror and smiled.

Today's the day! I'm finally getting out of college!

A knock came on my bedroom door and I walked out of my bathroom to see Zion. An excited smile formed on her face. She had cut her hair from her lower back up to her shoulder blades. She styled it into loose curls Soft brown eyeshadow blended in with that doe look she has because of her green eyes and freckles. She wore a skin-tight black dress that went down to her knees with sheer bell sleeves.

"You look sexy as hell!" I eyed her up and down.

"Right? Hawks got it for me," Zion's smile changed as she thought of him.

"How long have you two been together now?" I asked, slipping on a pair of white heels.

"Almost seven months. Have Touya and you decided where to eat after the ceremony?"

"I think we were going to go get bottomless sushi. I've been craving that lately," I said as I walked by Zion and into the kitchen.

"Don't tell me you're pregnant. You've been having a lot of cravings for certain foods lately," Zion joked.

"Absolutely not. I have the thing in my arm and he's been using protection," I rolled my eyes. "I'm not sure why the drug cravings have been acting up recently. Maybe it's a lot of life changes going on and I'm trying to handle all of it internally. The cravings haven't been easy to deal with so I've been looking for some light comfort foods."

"Oh, honey. You should have told me about the drug cravings. Do we need to contact your therapist?" Zion hugged me.

"I already sent her a message so I have an appointment with her on Monday," I hugged back. "I'm happy I already got my two year chip, but it feels like maybe it's not worth it at times. I'm being hard on myself again. I should just enjoy today."

"You need to open up a little more about when you are having these cravings. I know you think you can do it alone sometimes, but we can get your mind off the cravings as soon as possible."

I nodded and pulled away from the hug. Zion was right. I have a problem where I don't let people in when it comes to something that I deem is minor when the problem could lead to something pretty bad. I plan on talking to my therapist about it.

I pulled out the onigiri that Zion and I made last night and put one in the microwave. I wasn't going to fill myself with food since I would be eating soon. I pulled my phone out of my dress pocket and saw a text from someone that I left in the past.

Giran: Been a while. Still, want a Xan? I'll throw one in for free.

I went to the contact info, blocked it, and deleted his number. I may have hesitated for a second or two, but today is the day I take another new step in my life. I'm not turning back. I'm not going back to how I used to be.

The microwave went off and I pulled out the onigiri. I let it cool down for a bit before I eat it. Zion couldn't stop looking at me. It was like she was hiding something from me.

"I can read right through you. What are you hiding?" I crossed my arms.

"Whaaaaat? I don't know what you're talking about," Zion cleared her throat and tried to suppress her smile.
