Jude walked down the hallway with Alex.
"I cheated on Connor" Jude told Alex. "I feel so awful. Why did I do this? I am not a good person. I'm so horrible. Oh my god."
Alex felt guilty.
"He cheated on you too" Alex told Jude. "Me and him slept together."
Jude stared at Alex.
"I'm sorry" Alex told Jude. "I should of stopped it before it happened. But I was a bit tipsy and I was so upset about Noah dumping me."
"You and Noah broke up?" Jude asked. "Why?"
"Um.. The long distance thing" Alex said. "That's pretty much why."
Jude nodded but he didn't believe Alex. But he didn't want to push Alex into telling him what really happened.
"I'm not mad at you" Jude told Alex. "I can't be mad at Connor either because I caused this whole mess."
They came face to face with Connor.
"Hey" Connor said.
"I'm going to let you two talk" Alex said walking off avoiding eye contact with Connor.
"So you know?" Connor asked.
"Yeah" Jude said. "Look we both messed up. I say let's just forget about it and make up with a kiss."
Connor smiled and pulled Jude into a passionate kiss. It felt good to be back in each others arms.
Two weeks later, Jude stood with Alex at graduation putting on their gowns and caps.
"I'm so nervous" Jude told Alex.
"Me too" Alex agreed.
"Is this really happening?" Jude asked. "Are we really going to be out of this place forever? I don't think I'm ready to go."
Daria and Taylor join them.
"Guys" Jude said. "The one thing I know I can count on are the three of you."
"Don't get sentimental" Taylor laughed.
"I just want you three to know" Jude said. "Wherever we end up in the future I love you guys more than you know."
Jude grabbed Alex's hand.
"Alex Harper" Jude said. "When we first met I wasn't too fond of you. But I'm glad we became best friends. I can't stand the thought of losing you."
Alex cried and pulled Jude into a hug.
"I love you Jude Adams Foster" Alex told Jude. "Your like a brother to me."
"Isn't this sweet" they heard a familiar voice and seen Jake. "Did you guys miss me?"
Alex walked over to Jake and hugged him.
"What are you doing here?" Jude asked Jake.
"I couldn't miss my best friends graduation" Jake smiled. "I had to see Connor graduate. Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll trip."
Jude laughed.
Jude sat and watched Lena give a speech. He looked at Connor who smiled at him. Jude smiled back. Jude realized he had to talk to Connor. He just had too.
She had the seniors stand.
"Now let's take a moment" Lena said. "To remember those who would have been here with us tonight."
