(Nervous - The Neighbourhood)

   The day came, graduation, here I was, standing on the field. Watching my classmates walk the stage. There goes Regina, I cheered for her, clapping my hands and all.

    Then it inched closer to me, my turn was just about to happen. My heart raced, my hands sweat, my stomach fell, this was it, I was a graduate. I would never have to attend school again if I didn't want to.

   'Y/N, Y/M/N, Y/L/N,' they called me. My body moved forward before my brain could. There I was grabbing the diploma, the one I'd been working for my whole life. The advanced diploma, I held in my hands. A paper, in a casing, my years of work. I smiled and shook hands with the teachers as I walked off.

   I just graduated, that was it. When the ceremony ended they had us walk in a line through the teachers, they threw glitter on us and cheered. Some crying in joy of our hard work paid off. Once at the end we went to see our families and friends, take pictures and such.

    I bumped into Regina and held her hand,
We were with her mom and little sister. She took a picture of us together holding our diplomas, then one of us kissing. I loved being out. Then lastly one of Regina and her little sister, Regina holding her and smiling all big. She was such a beautiful woman.

    Then we found my family and I took one with all of my siblings, then myself, then with Regina. My dad not looking the most amused by that, but I tried to push it aside. I wouldn't let him ruin this moment. I kissed Regina's cheek and a picture was taken. He looked at me like I'd taken it too far.

    We left after this, My family and Regina's going to dinner to celebrate. We all sat there and ordered food and drinks. The usual stuff you do, talking about careers and family. I just held Regina's thigh under the table. She glanced at me every time I'd squeeze it, or move my hand higher.

   At one point she grabbed my hand and pushed it down just a little. She held it there and I smiled knowing I had her fighting for her life to act natural.

   Dinner came to an end and we all stood to disperse. I went to use the bathroom and then shortly after I went in there, a tap hit my stall. I finished buttoning my pants and I flushed. I opened the door and it was Regina. She came in and closed the stall, locking the door, then she pushed me against the wall. Leaning in for a kiss, I return it.

   Her hands slid into my shirt, tugging at my skin, pulling me closer to her. Her nails digging into me, I grasped her hair causing her to gasp. Good thing we drove separately, but there was a party we're meant to be at soon.

   That didn't stop me, I couldn't care less right now, especially, her knee just slid between my legs. I whimpered a little and she pulled away from the kiss and looked in my eyes. "What if I tease you, and stop right now." She said and I glared, "why would you do that." She smiled and kissed my cheek, "Pay back for what you did at dinner." I huff and roll my eyes, she smirked and said, "well with that attitude, you will wait."

   She moved back from me and unlocked the stall door. That tease, ugh, I went and washed my hands. She dug in her purse for my keys, I didn't feel like carrying one.

   She handed them to me, and then we walked to the parking lot. Hopped in my car and I began driving us to the party. Her hand went to my thigh as I drove. I tried to push it out of my head, rolling the windows down. Catching that warm late May air, driving on a bridge, the city lights flashing on my skin. Regina staring at me, "you're so beautiful Y/N, I feel truly lucky." She says and then she leaned her head on my shoulder. I smiled with soft blush in my cheeks, the music blaring now and I kissed her head quick. Keeping my eyes in the road, I was a safe driver.

    "I love you." I whispered out, this was hard for me to say normally, but with her, it felt natural. Usually it feels forced and painful to push out, but it kinda just slides out. She kissed my neck and replied in my ear, "I love you"

   I loved that she never said too. It felt so much more certain. Then I felt her suck my neck, this girl loved marking me up. "Gina, we have to take more pictures!" I say and she smiled and kissed the mark. "Well too bad, I want you to be seen as very much desired by me, because that's how it is." I shook my head and laughed, "babe you're something, are you excited to be school free." I say and she looked as if her smile was fake.

   What was she hiding? "Yea I'm so excited!" That seemed forced. "Are you ok?" I asked seeing this hidden guilt in her. She nods and I pull over as we're in a neighborhood now. "No you're not, what's in your mind? You can tell me anything my love." I turn to face her after I put the car in park.

   "I got into Harvard." My stomach dropped, of course I'm happy for her, that's her dream school, but Massachusetts. We're in Chicago, Illinois. "That's amazing love! Harvard, you've wanted to go since you could speak." I say and she nods but then proceeds to get teary eyed looking at me.

   "Please tell me you're gonna go!" I say and she nods, "I am, of course, but you." I grab her hands, "love, listen, this is your dream school, this is so important. I want you to go, I know how much this means to you, hell, I got into NYU." I say and she looked at me, "That's in New York." I nod, knowing this meant we'd probably have to be long distance, the Massachusetts schools turned me down.

   "I know love, but long distance isn't impossible. I will always make time for you." I declare and she hugs me, "I just don't want to be without you." I nod, "it's fifteen months, and then I can move to Massachusetts." I say and she begins to cry.

   "That's a long time," her voice all broken hurt deeply, "we have summer, and thanksgiving break, Christmas break, spring break, summer again, baby it will be ok, I know it. We're strong, we can make it through." She held me tighter, "I know we can do it, but I'll miss you to pieces."

   I agreed and held her tight, we were both accepted into our dream colleges, but they were in different states. This complicated a bit. I knew we could do it though, I just worried a little, but I knew that had to go.

   So I held her for a few more minutes before we continued heading to the party.
