Truth. (JG/NM)

The clock was ticking down, well, in my head it was. I looked over to Hailey, and our hands were pressed tightly together. Knuckles turning white.

"Now, the moment you've all been waiting for. Graduation Class of 2019, congadulations!" The dean said, and a chaos of golden and black graduation caps were tossed into the sky.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm going to miss you roomie!" Hailey said.

I smiled as the tears brimmed my eyes. We embraced eachother one last time.

"And make sure when you see those boys I said theyre hot." She giggled as she walked out.

Thats the thing. I havent spoken to Sam, Johnson, Nate or even JAck in 4 years. And I was heading back to the Apartment to see if they were still there. I left with out saying goodbye. I left a note on the fridge saying I was sorry and that this is what I had to do. Now, 4 years later and a lawyer, 22 years old going back "home".

I grabbed my last box and headed out of the dorm, dropping the keys off at the office, into the box with all of the other keys from different dorms.

I stood outside of the apartment where I spent the last 4 years of my life, and smiled.

I hopped into my brand new white BMW, and headed off to the apartment. Noticing I was still in my black dress and heels, with the gold cap still on my head, I decided to stop and see my dad.

I pulled into the grave year, and parked by his row, and walked over. I had the flowers in the backseat, so I went back and got them, they were from Hailey, so I decided to give them to him.

"Hey Daddy..Look!" I smiled weakly, pointing to my head. "I did it..I never thought I would.."

I put the flowers down, and sat on my knees, not caring if I got grass stains on them.

Jospeh Jaylen Kelly, loving father. January 16th 1959-August 30th 2016.

He died while I was in school, heart attack. I will always blame myself for not being there, he was only 57..shame.

"Well, I'm going back to see the guys, havent talked to them really since your funeral..but I only said a few things, so its really been years.. I miss you every day, every hour, every second daddy..I lovwe you." I said, kissing the gravesotne, leaving a bright red mark on the top.

I wiped the tears off my face and headed back to my car. I got in and started my way back to the apartment I left my bestfriends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I pulled into the parking lot int he back, and saw Jacks same old beat up black jeep. And next to it, Jj's silver 4x4. I smiled, and parked next to them. I got out and headed in, and of course, the door was open, so I just walked right on up to the elevator, and pressed 8.

When it dinged, I saw the same old elevator I cried in when I left. I got in and it still smelled the same. Cheap wine and weed. Of course.

when I reached the 8th floor, I stepped out, and I saw the lonely hallway, with a long scratch on it, from when I dragged my suit case as Jack tried to stop me. I ran my fingers along it, and reached the door. I stood for a second listening. I heard Jacks sweet voice harmonizing with Jj's, while Sammy was rapping, nate laughing in the distance.

I knocked loudly. They'd probably not recognize me. I lost alot of weight, well, now in just thin, and my hair is a dark brown colour, and my eyes changed colors like my moms did when she hit 20, now instead of being blue, they were a green color, but I still had the same feratures, and same height.

The door swung open and I was face to face with Sammy.

"Britteny." He gasped.

I smiled, crossing my leg over the other. He looked good, he was more muscular, and his hair was a shorter buzz, but that same ol;d sammy spakle and charm.

"Sam." I said.

He looked shocked, and tears were in his eyes. He reached out and hugged me. "You graduated, I missed you so much." He said.

"Sam who- Who is that?" Jj said, I pulled away and walked in, smiling at him, while the tears were just free falling now.

"Britt.." He screamed.

He ran twoards me and I saw Jack in the back room look up,a dn his eyes were huge.

I still had my head in Johnsons neck, and Nate smiled, hugging me next.

"Missed ya little mama." He smiled, kissing my cheek.

Yeah, me and Nate broke it off after I left, I said I couldnt handle a relationship with school, and he said the same about his music.

Jack came runnign over and hugged me, spinning me around with his hands on my waist and mine around his neck.

"We have alot to talk about." He said, putting me down, looking into my eyes.
