Our Forbidden Love: Forever and Always

~ Chapter Thirty-Two ~

Music - Grow Up

The day of their final exam. "Lan... I'm terrified" she says while squeezing his hand as tight as possible. "I know, baby. I am too. We are right next to each other in the register for Drama so I will be right behind you and every time you need me, just squeeze your own hand and pretend it's mine" he says as he kisses her forehead. "I want all the cuddles and kisses in the world after this exam" Madi says which makes Lando smile as he softly presses his lips onto hers and holds her tight in his arms. "Good luck kiss" he says after kissing her. They both check their exam timetable to see where they are sitting. "I love your middle name" she says and he rolls his eyes. "You know I don't like it" he says as he closes his timetable. "Shush, Lando Kinder Norris" (I had to again 😭) she says and he looks directly at her. "Shush, Madison Deborah Mount" he says and she smirks. "Actually, it's Madison Deborah Norris" she says and he raises an eyebrow. "Oh is it now? When did that happen?" he says in a teasing tone. "The second you gave me my promise ring" she says before kissing him once more. "God I love you" he says while holding her in his arms. "I love you too baby" she says before Mr Poppy comes over. "Hope you guys do really well. I'm gonna miss you guys. Look, I'm not really meant to do this but... I'll let you guys add me on Facebook" he says which makes them both laugh. "We're gonna miss you too, Des" she says before hugging him. "Remember everything I told you about this exam. Both of you will pass Drama, I know you will" he says and finally leaves. "Lan, I'm shitting myself...." she says before rambling on about how she is going to forget everything and fail. Lando can easily see that she's about to start crying soon so he does the first thing he can think of to calm her down. He holds her face in his hands and quickly presses his lips onto hers. She almost immediately calms down from feeling Lando's lips on hers and he keeps them pressed until she fully calms down. Once he finally pulls away, he wipes some of the tears that had fallen on her face. "Mads... you're the smartest person in the world. You've been passionate about drama for years and you know everything about everything in this exam. You will do amazing, trust me" he says and she nods. "You ready?" he says and she shakes her head. "No. But I haven't really got a choice, have i?" she says and he shakes his head. "No, sweetheart. But it will be ok. It's only an hour and a half and then we get to go home and we never have to come back to this horrible place again. We can start our new chapters in life" he says and kisses her before getting in line. "I'm right behind you. I always am" he says while holding her hand the whole time they walk into the hall.

"We did it!!!!!!" Madi screams as Lando picks her up and spins her around before deeply kissing her once they run out of the hall. "Yes we did, Mads. We did it! We never have to come back here again. We can finally Grow Up" he says while holding her close. They both stand in front of the school and look for a second. "I am gonna miss it slightly..." Lando says, which makes Madi look incredibly confused. "If this school never existed then I would have never met Mason and I definitely would have never met you. As much as we hate it, we wouldn't have each other without it" he says and she nods. "I guess you have a point there... I love you, Lan" she says and he smiles. "I love you too, Mads. Forever and always" he says.
