Chapter 17

Christians P.O.V

Ashton and I were now a happy engaged couple. We didn't really plan or think about a wedding at all. We are too young and this was more of a promise. A promise to respect eachother and always be there for one another. And a promise that we love eachother.

Nothing really changed between us. We didnt get all lovey dovey like most couples. We were just the same. We still made fun of eachother and joked around.

Christmas break had passed and although being with my friends again was a bit awkward, cause Ashton and I were still a bit upset, I love them and we were hanging out with them. We New years eve was also over with. We didn't do much. We had everyone over and we just hung out and watched movies. Life was actually okay now. My friends like me again, Ashton and I are engaged, and no one gave me shit anymore. If anything they all respected me. Ashton and I had been talking about college lately. He didn't really want to go anywhere because 5SOS was just starting to get somewhere. They were planning gigs and getting invited somewhere new all the time. Me on the other hand, I want to go to an art school. I'm still not sure what I actually want to do but I know i want it to have to do with art and/or music.

Time just kind of continued slowly. Soon enough it was spring and nothing had changed. We are still juniors with no idea what we went to do. Well Kylie, Dani, and Juliet all have there eyes set on a specific college. The boys decided they arent leaving. They want to stay here and work on there music. They said thats what they ttruly love doing and they dont want to change it. I totally support them, i'm just worried about the possibility of leaving Ashton. So me, I dont know what i'm going to do. I want to go to an art school in NYC but it's just so far away. I haven't told Ashton yet that I want to go there. Actually I havent told anyone.

Soon enough is was summer. The year was just ticking bye. I didn't even notice how fast summer was going bye. We spent the summer looking at colleges, working, and just hanging out. We all spent most of our time working though. Especially Ashton and I. We picked up as many hours as we could to save up so I would have college money.

My birthday came in August and I turned 17. We had a small party at our house. Just another time to hang out to us. Us girls were getting quite nervous for senior year and colleges. Bri and Harry went off together to college in Cali. Niall stayed in Massachussettes so he could still see Juliet. Louis and Hannah took off to god knows where. Louis is just, well Louis. They probably went back to London. Everyone was leaving, one by one. All of us were close to recieving our licenses.

Kylie got Bris old car. Juliet got her brothers old car. Dani got her moms. Caroline got her Brothers old car too. And the same with the boys, all got there cars from there family. Then there is Ashton and I. We're still saving. It's time to get off the boards. But for now, we will just have to keep using them.

Senior year wasn't all I expected it to be. Yeah we went to homecoming and prom but it wasn't too great. We were still just the weird group. Cat was still Cat, the one and only, but now she is afraid of me. We all find that funny. We were finally coming to the end of senior year and graduation was right aroung the corner.

It is the morning of our last day of school. I got out of bed and slipped my ring on then followed my usual morning routine. Changed into a pair of jean shorts with a t-shirt and converse. I brushed my hair and teeth. Waited for Ashton and we rode the bus. We got off at school and walked hand in hand to the cafeteria.

"Christian are you okay?" Ashton asked as we entered the cafeteria.

"Yeah fine." i said.

"You just seem really down lately." He said.
