Emily's POV :
Finally! Graduation day is here. This last year went so fast. I can't believe we're graduating. As we're getting ready to leave, I watch Ali from across the room. She looks so beautiful in her cherry red dress with black heels. She curled her hair just how I like it, soft but not too soft. I'm in a black cocktail dress with white heels and my hair straight and parted off to the right. She walks over to me. "Ready?" I ask. "Oh yeah. Let's do this." She said with an excited face. I take her by the hand and walk her to the car. I opened the door for her and help her in. We picked up hanna and met spence and Aria at the school. Everyone looked so great! Spencer and Aria were matching and hanna was all dressed up like she was meeting the president or something, of course. Caleb came walking up behind Hanna and kissed her cheek. He looked so handsome in his suit. It was a simple black suit with a white button up. "I can't believe it's graduation day already giys. This is so crazy!" Aria says. "I have to go guys. They want me in there to make sure I have my speech down and ready to go. Good luck! I'll meet up with you right after graduation." Spencer said as she bent down to give aria a kiss. Spencer is the valedictorian for our class, which was no surprise with her straight A's and 4.o GPA. I leaned down and gave Ali a kiss. "You look beautiful baby." I said to her. She smiled and said ,"I can't wait to tear that dress off you later." I just chuckled and ignored her.
Ali's POV :
We were all sitting there listening to people speak. Some I didn't care about but pretended I did and others were great. When spencer went up to give her speech, I sat up in my chair. "Good morning fellow classmates. The day has finally come. No more early mornings and late nights cramming. No more passing eachother every single day in the halls. And no more Rosewood High. It's a bittersweet day to say goodbye. But as we all take the next step into our lives, we take it together. I couldn't imagine a better class to take this big step with. These long years weren't the easiest, but with all of us put together, it was just a little easier." Spencer's words bright a tear to my eye. She did so great. Everyone cheered and clapped when she was done with her speech.
It came time to get our diplomas. I instantly got nervous. I grabbed Em's hand as it got closer to our turn. Hanna and Caleb went two rows before us. Aria and spencer were in the row behind us. We stood up and walked toward the stage. Before I knew it I heard "Emily Fields" and her family roared. I started crying. She looked so beautiful today. I was so dazed I almost didn't hear my name. "Alison DiLaurentis" I started walking toward my diploma. I heard my family and Em's go crazy. I smiled as a tear rolled down my face. I shook the mans hand who gave me my diploma. I smiled for my picture and walked toward em. She as already waiting for me with a dozen roses. I don't know how she does it. She never fails to make me smile. We got back to our seats right as Spencer was about to walk across the stage. "Spencer Hastings" her family screamed. A few seconds later we heard "Aria Montgomery" she started walking across the stage. Spencer stopped about half way across and turned around. Aria stopped in front of her and said something. Then she got on one knee. I grabbed Em's arm. "OH MY GOD!" Hanna and Caleb turned and looked at us with the same facial expressions. We could barely hear Spencer but I could hear just enough "Aria Montgomery, I love you more than life itself. Will you marry me?" Spencer said. Aria was bawling as she shook her head. "Yes! Of course!" She said. The whole crowd and all of the students started clapping and whistling. I was crying like a baby. Spencer slid the ring in Arias finger and escorted her across the stage. They walked and got their diplomas and walked off the stage. After we threw our hats in the air as our final farewell, we all met up outside.
Spencer's POV:
I can't believe aria and I are engaged! It's so crazy. She's the love of my life. I couldn't imaging asking anyone else to marry me. We met up with our friends outside. They all ran and attacked aria and I. It was so nice to know they were so happy and approving. As we got pictures together and said our final good byes to Rosewood High, I cried. It was such a bittersweet moment to walk away from the school for the last time. Aria and I walked hand in hand to my car and drove off. The next step is moving in together and planning a wedding.
Emily's POV:
Ali and I got in the car and drove back to our house. I had her present sitting on the table with a note with her name on it. We walked in and she kissed me so softly. "Congratulations honey." She said. "Congratulations to you as well baby." I leaned down and kissed her again. I pointed over to the table. "What?" She asked a little puzzled. "Over on the table." I said. She walked over there and grabbed the box. "Em. I didn't even get you anything." She said. "Just open it." I told her. She took the note off and untied the ribbon and opened the box. "A key?" She asked. "There's a note in there." I explained. She read the note. It simply said, "Welcome to our new home." She put the box on the table and jumped into my arms. "Are you serious?!" She said. "I am. Do you want to go see it?" I asked her already knowing the answer. "Of course I do!" She said all excited. "Well lets go get dressed and we can check it out." We walked to the bedroom but before we went in I pulled her in by her waist and kissed her. "I can't wait for you to be my wife." I said to her. "I can't wait to be Mrs. Fields. I love you." She said back. I picked her up bridal style and kicked the door shut behind us.
Authors note:
I'm sorry about the very long wait. I've just been very busy with school and working. I also recently came out to my family and I have a girlfriend now. It's been a very stressful several months. But things are starting to calm down. I'm going to try to work in some time to write. Thank you all for being so patient. I love you all ❤️
