Epilogue Part Two

Sadie POV

Two Years Later, 23-years-old (but turning 24)

Today is May 21st. Also known as graduation day, but also known as......my birthday. Okay, so it doesn't actually sound that bad. Justin graduated two days ago and know he's here for my graduation. My whole family is here, along with a few close family friends.

But the thing is, I really don't want to leave my friends here at college. We said we would keep in touch, but still. We're going to end up going our own seperate ways. I have to get over this.

"So.....Sade? Are you ready to get out of here and go party!" Mary asks. I turn to Bo who is fixing here make-up, nods here head.

"I guess. But I'm going to miss you guys." I say. Mary smiles and then hugs me. Bo stops fixing her make-up and joines the hug. Kate and Jess come over and hug me.

We all start to giggle. We pull out of the hug. I look over to my phone to check the time, 9:55.

"Shit. We're going to be late, so come on girls!" I yell before grabing my cap.

I'm wearing a high-low dress that I bought the other day when we all went shopping for graduation dresses. Its denim at the top and strapless, and then its a pale pink the rest of the way down. I'm wearing my new black high heels. I havee on pink lip stick to match the dress with black eyeliner and mascara.

We finally make it to the football field where the ceromony is being held. I see my parets sitting with our friends and family sitting close by. I look more but don't see Justin yet.

Bo grabs my hand and we both sit in our seats, waiting for it to start.

----------------------

"AHHHHHH!!! I can't believe we graduated!" Mary squeels.

"I know! We are finally free!" I yell while hugging her.

"Oh! I see my family. I'll see you later at the party." Mary runs off to her family before I can say anything else.

I look around and find my family talking to the Simon's. But Justin isn't with them. I shrug it off and walk over to them.

"There she is, my baby. You finally graduated." My dad says as I walk over to them. He pulls me into a hug and puts his head ontop of mine.

"It's okay dad, really." I sooth.

I hug everyone and we all end up talking about what future plans I have. I'm about to talk when I feel hands go around my waist. I turn my head to find a very handsome face staring at me.

He smiles at me and then kisses me. I hear my parents start to talk again, trying to ignore the fact that their little girl is kissing a boy. I turn my whole body around and put my hands on his chest.

"Hi." I whisper.

"Hi, birthday girl." Justin chuckles. "You ready to go party?"

"Yeah. Let's get this party started!" I yell.

--------------------

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Sadie, happy birthday to you!" Everyone sings while I blow out the candles ontop of my cake. I can still hear everyone dragging out the 'you' in the song as I blow out the last candel.

I sit up and everyone starts clapping. I feel hands wrap around my waist and I instintlly know it's Justin. I urn my face and smile at Justin, who is already smiling down at me. We both shuffle our way out of the dining room as my mom starts cutting cake for everyone.
