Spencer's POV~

The next day, the guys decided to surprise Morgan and Em at their graduation. Something I could do for Emma. I wanted to make it up to her. Last night, I had felt so guilty.

My eyes widened as they called Emma on stage. Her beautiful blonde hair was in its natural state, perfectly wavy. Her brown eyes shone, through her glasses. She hadn't worn them often, but when she did, she still looked beautiful.

She happily walked across the stage, receiving her diploma. In the very least, I was proud. I hadn't seen her at our high school graduation. Here we are, getting ready to enter our 20s and she had more education than I.

I felt myself thinking more about her. I didn't know where these thoughts coming from, but she was beautiful. From her hair and eyes to her body, and her attitude and personality. I was finally realizing what was placed in front of me. Someone who had been there the whole time.

"Hey, bro." Alan spoke, swatting my arm.

"What?" I asked.

"Come on." He motioned. I nodded and got up, following the four guys, plus Donald.

Emma's POV~

Morgan and I were finally graduates. I couldn't be more excited.

"M, are we still gonna be roommates?" I ask.

"I don't know." She replied sadly.

"Well, I have a place and I need roommate. You fit my application prefectly." I grinned.

"Awh, Emma, you're the best." She exclaimed, hugging the life out of me.

"She most definitely is." A voice speaks. Morgan lets go of me and we turn around. Six guys standing there.

"Wha...? Guys, you didn't have to come." I start.

"No, we wanted to." Joey smiled. I went up and hugged him. As I pulled back, I went to hug the others, even Donald. I got to Spencer and he just held his hand out. I gave a small smirk before wrapping my arms around his neck. His breathing hitched as he placed his arms around my waist.

"It was nice." I whispered. "Thanks for coming."

"Not a problem. I couldn't miss it." Spencer replied.

"Alright guys. Enough with the couple moments. We're treating you girls to lunch." Alan smiled.

"What? No. I can't accept that." I declined.

"Too bad. You work with us now, and we're buying lunch." Caleb stated. I sighed, giving up.

"And Spencer and I aren't a couple." I responded, crossing my arms.

"No, but Morgan and Don might be." Joey smirked.

"I ship it." I grinned.

"What?" Alan asked.

"I ship it. Like relationships." I laughed.

"Whatever." Alan sighed, rolling his eyes and shaking his head.

We had, but nonetheless, Chickfila. While Donald and the other guys got our food, I decided to make my move. "So, M. What's up with you and Donald?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Morgan questioned.

"Are you kidding?! I see the way you look at him, or kissed his cheek and he blushed. Morgan, I'm not blind!" I exclaimed happily.

"Okay, okay. Shh. Maybe I like him a little." She blushed.

"I ship it." I grinned.

"Ship what?" Donald asked, walking up with the others.

I went to say something, but Morgan gave a glare. "I ship... Joey and Jewel. Yep, I ship them." I nodded, covering it up.

Joey just looked at me. I returned it, a 'I'll talk to you later' look. I had to tell him. Donald was his brother, and Morgan was my best friend.

"Oh lord, you two." Spencer laughed.

"Hey! You're the loser who was my best friend." I grinned.

"Oh, I'm a loser?" He smirked.

"Yeah." I teased.

"Takes one to know one." He fired back.

"Thank you. I appreciate that." I replied sarcastically.

"Okay, children." Alan warned, "Sit down."

They nodded and sat down. I watched as Donald sat down next to Morgan and placed his arm around her shoulders. She blushed and leaned into his embrace.

My eyes flickered to Joey. His eyes met mine and flickered back towards Morgan and Donald. Joey got a glimpse, he turned to me with a smirk on his face. He had an idea or a thought. I had to set those two up, they're definitely adorable.

We prayed once everyone was in their seat, then ate. They talked among themselves, but I watched while Donald and Morgan flirted with eachother.

"Em, did you hear us?" Chad spoke.

"I'm sorry. What?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"We have a meeting tomorrow. Talk about shows and covers, announcing my departing." Alan answered..

"Okay. I'm sure that we can think of some things." I nodded.

"Thanks Em." Alan smiled.

"Not a problem." I replied.

"Do I have permission to call you Em?" Spencer questioned.

I sighed, "I guess."

"Thank you." He grinned. I just playfully rolled my eyes.

"You're lucky Kane." I mumbled.

"I know." He gives a goofy smile. I rolled my eyes again and continued eating. The guys continued talking, Morgan and Donald continued flirting.

As I watched Morgan and Donald, I had a feeling, well, more a thought. What if Donald was her forever? She was once engaged to man named Adam, but Morgan called it off when she caught him cheating. He was in bed with another girl. I had never met the man, but to be honest, I'm glad I didn't.

I shook the bad thoughts from my head, and replaced them with good ones. As I thought about Donald being Morgan's forever, I thought about mine. Hide your love away and wait for me, I'll do the same. Wait for me. I'm still young, but to think. I remember the video the guys posted ages ago about the song. Joey stated, "Just to think that my future wife is out there, and she already has my heart. And that your future wife or husband is out there, who already has your heart." Those words always stuck with me.

"Em, you okay?" Chad asked, snapping me back.

I nodded, "Yeah."

"You seemed deep in thought." Caleb mentioned.

"I was just thinking. I promise, I'm fine." I muttered.

As I finished eating, I sat back and listened to they guys' conversation.
