IT WAS FINALLY THE MORNING OF HER GRADUATION DAY, Gemma was wearing a light blue floral dress. She even let her mother paint her face with some make up, she felt a tug at her heart remembering all the times Susannah Fisher did her make up when she was younger. Taking care of the final touches, adding a small tiara on her head, the girl hears her phone chimes and she holds her breath for a minute, was it him?
Sighing she reads the name on the screen and smiles a little. Jere.
jere: happy graduation day gems
gems:wow u remembered my mere existence
jere: im offended that u thought i wouldn't remember, i miss you loser.
gems: i miss u too jackass.
The girl's smile only grew wider, she missed Jeremiah more than she could hope for. His relationship with Belly got weird after Susannah's death, Belly closed herself from both of them. Jeremiah felt bad for his friend, he doesn't know or understand what happened to her relationship with his brother.
When the doorbell rang she thought it was one of the girls or even Steven coming to annoy her. But reaching the bottom of the stairs and looking at her parent's expression told her this wasn't exactly what she was expecting. Holding a box in her hands, Mrs. Williams offered a sad smile to her daughter.
"My baby, it is from Susannah." her mother said.
"What?"
"She must've prepared this beforehand."
Hesitantly, Gemma took the box from her mother's hands and opened it. Inside it was a velvet black box that she took in her hands, opening it she found a beautiful bracelet with three different small pendants. One was a camera, which made Gemma smile lightly, the second was a seashell and the last one was a maple leaf. She had told Susannah about going to Canada and studying at UBC.
The next thing she took out of the box was a UBC sweater, she had mentioned to the Fisher woman that she thought it was lame to use clothes from a place you're not even studying at the moment, the present made the girl chuckle a little.
The last thing she found on the box was a corsage with a light blue flower, the memory of prom and that specific night created a lump on Gemma's throat that was hard to swallow. She wasn't sure how much Susannah knew from her prom night, but she was sure the woman never meant to hurt her with the gift.
