Chapter Eighteen

Julianna's POV:

*7 weeks later*

Tomorrow is our graduation & I'm excited! We have 2 valedictorians, yep me & Jake, apparently, we got both got the same high score on our finals & we have straight A's. I decided to go to the Art Institute of Charlotte, North Carolina. I'm going to major in photography. They've been sending my letters saying how wanted me to be a part of their school so I applied & I GOT IN! I went & found a place for me to stay so I won't have to stay on campus. I'm leaving the day after graduation. I told Jake about it & he seemed happy but hurt. He got accepted to the University of Virginia so that's where he's going. We won't be that far away but I'm going to miss him. Today Jake & I have to pick up my brother, sister & Olivia up from the airport. They're making us take their SUV. I got dressed & everything. I was just waiting downstairs for Jake. I heard the doorbell ring, so I went to open it & it was Jake.

"Hey baby you ready?", he asked as he pecked my lips.

"Yeah. I gotta grab my phone & purse." I ran in the living room & grabbed my stuff. "Okay I'm ready now." I set the alarm, locked & closed the door & walked out. As I walked to the passenger side, Jacob opened my door for me.

"Thank you, kind sir.", I said in my British accent.

"You quite welcome madam.", he said then he closed my door. Before pulling off I saw Jacob staring at me.

"What? Is there something on my face?", I said rubbing my face hoping to get it off. "Yeah, there is something on your face. But there is A LOT of it.", he said with wide eyes.

"Oh my gosh, Jacob! What is it?", I said freaking out.

"It's pure beauty.", he said looking at me. I felt my face heat up, so I looked down at my feet until he lifted my face up by my chin. "You're beautiful. Especially when you blush. I love you."

"I love you too.", I said pulling him into a kiss. He pulled away & started up the car. I love riding in the SUV with Jake, he always holds my hand when he drives & he never let's go until it's time to get out of the car. We arrived at the airport, but I didn't see Ayden or Peyton. It's 10:30 & they should be here already. Jake went to go see if their flight had arrived & I waited for him with my back facing the doors. I felt a hand grab me by the back of my neck & a firm grip on my arm. I thought it was Jacob, but it wasn't because I didn't smell his cologne.

"You scream & you're dead!", a voice whispered in my ear. I grabbed my pocket knife with a tight hold. I elbowed them in the stomach & flipped them over my shoulder making them land in their back. I was about to cut him, but I realized who they were.

"Damn it Ayden! Why would you sneak up on me!", I yelled at him.

"Holy fuck! I didn't think that through.", he said holding his stomach groaning in pain.

"Hey what's going on?", Jacob & Peyton said in unison while walking up to us.

"Ask her!", Ayden said pointing at me. Jacob & Peyton turned to me waiting for an answer.

"What?! He snuck up on me from behind so I kinda sort of used my self-defense moves.", I said mumbling the last part looking down. Jacob laughed. & Peyton tried not to laugh but she failed.

"It's okay bruh. I had to find out the hard way as well.", Jake said to Ayden, extending his hand out to help him up. "It's okay babe. You're still my Agent Kick-Ass.", he said pecking my lips.

"Awee you guys are so cutee.", Peyton said with a big smile.

"Well don't get too cute. I don't want any nieces & nephews anytime soon. & Jacob?"
