I was sleeping peacefully with my girls beside me, Veronica and Mia stayed at mine while all the boys stayed at Luke's so they wouldn't see us until graduation. Anyways I was sleeping peacefully on the theatre room floor on my mattress when I all of a sudden had a pressing feeling on my kidneys and bladder, yep I had to get up and pee.
I came back in the room 5 minutes later to a still sleeping heavily Mia and Veronica, I looked at the time and it said 7:03 in the morning, time to get up anyways. I walked out of the room to go and put some coffee on when mum and dad walked downstairs with my siblings.
"Morning family" mum put down Maddison, I don't even know why she still carries her around, she's almost 10 years old for goodness sake. After mum put her on the ground she came running up to me and wrapped her arms around me in a warm embrace.
"Now I can say my baby is finally growing up. I am so proud of you Carter Grace that you wouldn't even have a clue. I can't wait to see where your future takes you after you graduate. I love you so much my very own Gracie." Mums words brought tears to my eyes, you know what? I'm aloud to cry because it's my graduation day, I have done so much to bring myself to this point after everything that has happened in life.
"I love you too mum, more than you know. But I have to go and wake up the girls because we have to start getting ready soon" I poured myself a cup of coffee, kissed her cheek then my fathers and went to the theatre room to awake Mia and Veronica.
Sitting in the sun listening to all these teacher brag on and on about the next generations futures and whatever else is so annoying. I'm wearing a black robe and a black cap, it's got and annoying and I want to get this damn ceremony to over and done with.
"And now finally, to get on with the diplomas" our principal spoke, Sir Peter Brown. There are at east 300 seniors here so this will take forever.
They started getting my row ready to go up on stage which means it's about time for me to finally get my diploma of education and be done with this whole high school thing.
"Carter Buttcher" he called my name at last. I heard my friends screaming my name and the same with my parents. I looked at my mother and saw tears running down her face while my father stood tall trying to hide his tears about the fact that his daughter is graduating high school, he looks proud.
"Congratulations Carter, good luck with your future" I smiled at our principal and shook his hand, smiled for a photo, thanked him and walked off stage with everyone else.
Waiting and waiting for Christians name to get called felt like forever. Just so I could scream and shout his name when it was called out like he did for me. In the few months we have been together, I have fallen so in love with him I never thought it was possible. To think that in May next year we will have been together for a year, we got together just after my birthday, it has been an amazing 6 months. And to think it has only been 6 months when it feels like a hell of a lot longer then that, we have been through so much together but always end up stronger in the end.
"That was a lovely graduation ceremony Carter, I am so proud of you my baby" my mum said through tears as she pulled me in for a hug.
"Thank you mum, but literally I wouldn't have done any of this without you. You are my best friend and my everything, none of this would have been possible if I didn't have you" I managed to choke out before I started getting a little bit misty.
"Carter, I can't believe you have graduated. Feels like only yesterday you where my little fragile baby girl in my arms and now you've finished high school. No words will ever describe how much I love you and how proud I am of you. It has been an amazing honour to be your father." My big old softie excuse for a father said before he started crying. I broke away from mums hold and gave my dad the biggest hug I think I have ever given him in my whole life.
"I love you so much daddy" I said I to his chest when I heard mum taking a photo of me and dad.
"Mind if I cut in for a little bit?" I heard a familiar voice say from behind my mum.
"Of corse Christian, Congratulations love" mum hugged Christian and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you so much Mrs Buttcher"
"Congratulations son" my dad said to him sticking out his hand and shaking it.
"Thank you sir" Christian replied with a strong handshake to my father.
"Wait Carter honey, before you leave I want a photo of me and you, then you and your dad then a group one and of you with Christian. I am just so proud of my baby." She started crying again so before she went into full blown tears I got photos with her and dad then some cute ones where taken of me and my smoking hot boyfriend then the family.
"Okay guys, I will see you all back at home" I kissed them both on the cheek then saw them walk hand in hand back to the car.
"I hope we end up that happy" Christian said to me kissing the side of my head.
"I don't hope Christian, I know we will be" I looked up at him and smiled then he kissed my lips for a few seconds.
"So boyfriend, now that you have my all alone, what did you want to talk to me about?" I said questioning him and looking up at him.
"Who said I wanted to talk? Can't I just be alone with my girlfriend without anyone around us?"
"Yes Christian I guess so, I love you so much. Happy 6 months baby" I said standing on my tippy toes kissing his lips again.
"Happy 6 months my love, I got you a little something when we where out shopping for suits and stuff a few weeks ago" I looked at him puzzled, how could he have brought me something and I not know about it? We live together. I saw him go into the pockets of the graduation gown and pull out a small box. Oh no I hope this isn't what it is.
"Don't be scared I'm not proposing" he voiced my question I had in my head. Oh thank goodness.
"Then what is this?" I asked with tears forming in my eyes.
"Carter Grace Buttcher, from the moment I met you I knew I was falling for you, I knew I was already in love with you. You have put my vision into focus and I am in awe of you. You have honestly made me the man I am today and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you so much Carter like you wouldn't even believe.
I have here a promise ring, like I promised you I would get for you one day and I think today is the day.
Carter I promise you that for the rest of my life I will love. I promise to protect you, respect you and take the best of care for the rest of your life. I promise that I will be there for you through the ups and downs you go through in life if you promise me just one thing.
Carter, promise me that you will be my girlfriend for the rest of our lives and that one day you will make me a happy husband and the best damn father I could be?" I was almost in tears I didn't even know what to do, I love this boy more than anything in this entire world. As I was looking at him I had tears in my eyes and I just couldn't help it. He got down on one knee and took the ring out of its box.
"Yes Christian. I promise you everything in this world" he smiled up at me and put the ring on my left ring finger then stood up. He picked me up and twirled me around making me squeal and laugh. He placed me back down on my feet and kissed me like there was no tomorrow.
"Now I just have one more question." He said looking away for a second and there was Luke bringing Christian a bouquet of a dozen red roses.
"What is this Christian?" I asked him with a smile on my lips as his cheeks where going red.
"Will you be my date to the ball?" Aw this kid, he's going old school.
"Yes Christian, I would love to" he gave me the flowers and I kissed his lips again. We broke apart to breath and to get ready to go back home and get ready for our little graduation after party.
