I decided to go to graduation. I worked way to hard these past few years just to let such a grand moment pass me by. I will see Nick I will tell him what I have to tell him and move on. This is the last time. When I see him step up to the podium I can't breathe. I have to get out of here. I can't do this. It's to late though.
"Graduates, faculty, distinguished guests, friends and families. We gather here to celebrate a tremendous accomplishments of this graduating class. You will be stepping into a the world as full adults. At this point you must find your own purpose, place and happiness. It is a great challenge ahead of you but you must not shy shy away. At times you will feel like running away. Abandoning everything and everything you ever knew. I only advise you to make sure you are not abandoning what matters. Deep down you all know what does matter, what's worth fighting for. So follow your hearts follow your gut because it is that that will get you far in this life. Congratulations and good luck."
Nick steps away from the podium and I can't help but feel that that speech was targeted towards me. I keep staring at him for the rest of the graduation. He doesn't notice me until I am about to receive my diploma. I look down as I walk to shake his hand I slip him a piece of paper but so did he. We looked at each other curiously and smiled at each other.
Outside as everyone is congratulating each other I read his note again.
Meet me at Bell Point at 7:00
-Nick.
Bell point is a small hill overlooking the mountain range. As I drive up I see he's already there leaning against his car staring at the view.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" I ask him.
"I've seen more beautiful." He turns around to face me. "You."
