"I had this whole speech planned. I was going to tell how we worked as one and it was great here, but in all honesty I would be lying, and that's just not my style. However I can say, I've spent four years of my life here. 1 was seventeen when I came and I'm finally twenty. I can't remember a point in time where I stood in these hallways and felt good. I felt scared and alone because everybody that I came in here with is gone. My entire life I have been the super genius, and then I came here and I was like everybody else. It turns out my best friend she rocked this place. She got in out of here in three years. I imagine her traveling the world in honor of me. I've spent every week discovering myself. I've spent every week telling myself on this day you will be proud and it turns out I am. I am extremely proud of the growth I've made from day one. Every single one of us should be because we've made it. We've survived and nothing can break us. We made it. As we step foot at of these walls we need to remember the friendships and the bonds that we've made because those are what make you feel alive. Congratulations!" I said stepping off the podium with my diploma.
I took my seat as we threw or caps into the air. I saw a large muscled hang grab a hold of mine. I looked down to see a face I didn't expect to see.
"PEYTON!!" I screamed and jumped into his arms wrapping my legs around his chest and my arms around his neck.
"Rowboat!" He yelled.
"I've missed you" I whispered with tears coming to the surface as he put me down.
I watched Peyton wipe the tears away as they gymnasium cleared out. I sat on the stage I was just giving a speech on and Peyton sat next to me.
"I'm not going anywhere." Peyton said to me.
"That's what you said last time." I said looking at Peyton.
"I'm so sorry Rowan. But I made sure I left you taken care of. At least I thought I did." He said.
"Why do you mean?" I asked.
"Sabrina. I told her that know matter what happens, to take care of you." He responded.
"I think your forgetting that ever since we were one season in on girl meets world Sabrina left and we were left to wrap up the second and third season, alone." I reminded him.
"I called her. She said she'd watch out over you." He told me.
"She never came. She never wrote, not an email, a phone call. Not even a damn text." I said flustered.
"I'm so sorry. I thought she would come. For you." Peyton said.
"I knew this would happen. Ever since that damn boy left, that was her last straw." I said jumping off the stage and walking to the parking lot.
"Are you talking about Bradley?" He asked me.
"Yea. He basically said goodbye when he flew to NYC. They FaceChatted any chance they could get in the beginning. But the first year he never came in holidays. He met new friends, new girl, you know how the story goes." I said.
"Have even seen any of us in the past four years?" Peyton asked me.
"The first year I saw everybody. The next year Sabrina left, then you left and I haven't made it up to New York to see Bradley." I explained to him.
"Bradley isn't in New York any more. He's in Europe. He's lived in Europe ever since his parents split." Peyton told me.
"His parents split?" I asked.
"His mom way away on business all the time. James got lonely. He needed somebody to take care of him when he was older. And he new Carly wouldn't be able to do so. His dad moved to Europe where his parents were and Bradley went with him." Peyton said.
"What about Emma grace?" I asked.
"A year ago Emma was at school
With her friends and she took the bus home like normal but, the bus driver. Their bus was hit, she died." Peyton said.
"How are they holding up?" I asked while heading to the car.
"What about you?" Peyton asked me
"I've been up to the usual. My family is the same. I became better friends with Olivia and Corey, and Paris an Jake. I've been saving up money, I'm thinking of starting an acting school for people all ages who can't afford it, or can afford it and they can donate money towards it." I said.
"That's great row. I'm heading to a lunch with my parents, would you like to come?" Peyton asked me.
"I'd love to." I said getting in the car.
