Autumn Leaves

Eight

Sorry this took forever omgs. Enjoy.

*graduation*

"Kells I don't know why you're so worried, you're going to be fine." Taylor said these words and they only made me even more nervous.

Vic and I are doing really good, we've been together for almost six months now and it has been absolutely amazing. Truthfully we've had some ups and downs but, what good couple doesn't. Taylor was trying to rid me from anxiety but she cant help me much. She isn't Vic. Vic calms me down just by seeing him. It makes me happy to know he's so comforting to me. we're both graduating today, I haven't seen him most of the day and, it saddens me that I'm not going to be near him during the ceremony because his last name is towards the beginning of the alphabet. We were both good in our majors but not good enough to be at the front of the ceremony. If we were id get to see him. The robes we were in were black, unless you were a girl, then they were maroon. The top ten kids in the graduating "class" were wearing white.

I felt a pair of arms come around me and I jumped. Then I heard a familiar laugh. Vic. I turned around and hugged him tight before kissing him deeply and asking, "What are you doing?" I grabbed his hands and looked into his beautiful brown eyes.

"I came to see my beautiful boyfriend before we start a new life together." He said swaying back and forth, swinging our hands. I heard Taylor make a fake gagging sound behind us and I laughed. "I love that laugh Kellin. I want to spend a long time hearing it." That made me tear up a little. But, what he did next made me cry. He reached into his robe to what I assumed was his pocket, and pulled out a small box. "Kellin, this is a promise ring. I promise you I will not leave you. I will be there through everything. Your anxiety, depression, arguments with anyone, I'll be there for you. If we argue, we'll sit and talk about it once we've calmed down. I love you Kellin Quinn." I was in tears by now as he slid the ring on my finger and I hugged him tighter than before.

"I love you Vic Fuentes." I kissed him and some of the surrounding people clapped, others just stared or looked away. I've gotten used to people judging us for being openly gay by now. Sure it pisses me off when I can feel their eyes staring into my soul if I'm with Vic or apparently doing anything. Just the other day when I was in the lounge drinking coffee and one of the guys from the soccer team walked by, scoffed, said I was a fag, and laughed like I didn't care.
