I had been at Ryan's house for two months and the graduation ceremony was tomorrow. I paced in the my room until Ryan came in.
"Hey. Are okay?", he asked.
"No. I'm so nervous. I haven't seen my mom in two months and I see her tomorrow. Then I have to leave her again for another two months", I replied. I looked in my closet and saw my gown and cap. I had everything ready for tomorrow evening. I was going to see my mom, tell her I am going to college with Ryan, come back here and let him change me.
"Everything will be okay. I promise," Ryan said. I went and sat on the bed feeling upset.
"I don't know. I mean, soon I'll be like you and live off of blood", I said.
"Well, once you get used to it, it's not so bad". He walked towards me and hugged me. "Do you know what you should do with your last human night?", he asked.
"Kiss my boyfriend and mess with his hair", I replied.
"No. You can do that anytime. I'm going to take you out to a restaurant. It's a fancy restaurant and I made reservations this morning. They only had one spot left and I was lucky to get it".
"Well, you are very sweet to do that. It would be a nice way to end my human life", I said.
"Don't think of it like ending your life. Think of it as starting a new chapter that never ends".
"Okay. I'll be more positive. Now I have to get ready. It'll take me an hour to pick out an outfit, half an hour to put on makeup, another half hour to do my hair and ten minutes to pick out some shoes. So, I need a lot of time to get ready", I said pushing him out the door.
"Okay. Don't take to long".
"I won't. Now go and get ready", I demanded. He walked away and I closed the door and started getting ready.
Almost two hours later, I was fully dressed. Lip gloss was on, I had a purple floor length dress with silver heels and a matching purse to go with it. My hair was curled and I had put hair spray in it. I put on my grandma's necklace that was passed onto my mom who had it passed it on to me. I was a silver necklace with a red gem hanging from it.
"Bella. I'm coming in", Ryan warned.
"Come in", I said. He opened the door and he was dressed in a suit. Black pants and shoes, white dress shirt and a black jacket that was buttoned in the middle.
"You look amazing".
"You do to", I said.
"Okay. I think we are ready to go", he said. He took my arm and linked it around his. We walked down the steps and out to the car. Everything had to go perfect tonight. Cause tonight is my last night of being a human.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we approached a desk and the lady was reading a paper.
"Excuse me. I have a reservation under the name Veens", Ryan said politely. She looked up at us and looked down at the paper again.
"Ah. Here you are. Right this way please", the lady said. She led us to a table in the back and sat our menus on the table as we sat down. I looked at the menu and only one thing that caught my eye, the pasta covered in pasto sauce.
