Til I Forget About You

Chapter One

*Dani's POV*

This has been the most meaningful summer of my whole life! I have had so many perfect moments. It all started with Kendall's graduation. Let me try to remember EXACTLY what happened...OH YEAH! So me and Ms. Schmidt were so excited! We got there and waited through every name up until Angela Sanders. Well, actually we were late because we knew he had a late last name, but we were still there for a LONG time. Then it was him. "Kendall Francis Schmidt." He looked so adorable in his cap and gown! "WOOOOOOO! KENDALL!!!!!" I just wanted to jump in his arms and tell him how proud I was. We waited through the rest of the ceremony and then they all walked out. I felt bad because I grabbed my purse... and then Ms. Schmidt's wrist and ran to Kendall. Soon she ran too because I'm sure she didn't enjoy being pulled through a crowd of people. I just kept yelling, "Excuse us, pardon me, gotta get to my boyfriend, hey move please! Excuse me" Soon it was just a blur of blue and gold. I just tried to find which gown was towering over the rest. I saw him. He was the tallest one of all. It was really dark outside, but I could tell my boyfriend from the rest of my class. "Kendall, Kendall! I'm so pr-" He turned around. "Oh, I'm so sorry." NOT Kendall. Some girl in a gown as well came running. "James! James!" "Cassie!!!" Umm, okay? That's not the hug I was hoping to see. I wanted Kendall to hug me. Ms. Schmidt was laughing at my mistake and I just laughed back. Then I saw a boy who I knew FOR SURE was Kendall. How did I know? Well, maybe the fact that our eyes met and I felt butterflies and heard him yell across the whole parking lot, "DANI!" The reason he was so excited to see me is, my bad for not explaining, but, well, we haven't seen each other since a few days after Katie's funeral. Let me explain THAT story...

It was a few days after Katie's funeral and me and Kendall were having a serious decision. It was at Tropical Smoothie. We had been discussing how unhealthy our relationship was. "Okay, Dani, this isn't good." "I know, we aren't married, and it's not okay to spend everyday together." "Wow, that was easy, I'm so glad you understand." "Yeah, this conversation has been a long time coming. We can talk at school and stuff. We can have dates, but it's just not really okay to spend every second together." "I totally agree. And now that you're out of the hospital, I don't have to spend all my time worrying about you." I laughed and took a sip from my smoothie. "I'm not your huge burden anymore.." "C'mon, you know that's not what I meant." I know what you're thinking, oh no, another random and useless fight, but no. "I know, I was kidding, gosh Kendall!" He laughed. "So I guess this is considered a date?" I laughed, "I guess, an awkward one." "No, it's not awkward, we are just discussing how we feel about our relationship." "Okay, well, what I think about our relationship, is that it contains the best boyfriend ever." He laughed. "It does, doesn't it?" Classic Kendall, "Wow! What a memory to look back on once you leave! Bragging about himself in his chances to bring his girlfriend's self-esteem up." I laughed at myself because I knew that could never be true. Kendall is too sweet. "Yeah, right!" We both laughed. Our experience with losing Katie has really helped us be more mature. It's nice. No more drama every five seconds, I'm excited. Time flew by and soon it had been a few hours. "Well I guess I'll see ya at school Monday..." I laughed, "Really weird, huh? Not see ya at my place, no more if that." We both laughed. Then he hugged me really tight. "See ya at school."

So now that you know that, back to the graduation. I looked through all the people and I lost Ms. Schmidt. I wouldn't have even noticed of I didn't hear her laugh fading away behind me. I ran and jumped into Kendall's arms. We hugged for a long time and then he finally released me, and kissed me sweetly. "I haven't seen you in two weeks!" He said holding onto my arms. "I know! I thought we were supposed to talk at school!" "Well, I had exams earlier than you since you're younger than me. Then, we just didn't text or anything." I just hugged him again. "We are totally over reacting." I said laughing really hard. "It's just really weird because I was used to spending every spare second with you." He said laughing too. "You have no idea how excited and proud I am of you. But I can't compare to your mom! She cried. C'mon! Let's go find her." He laughed and we ran back to the doors to find her. "KENDALL!" She hugged him with tears. "I'm so proud of you baby!" "Mom..." I heard him whisper. "Oh please Kendall, you too are so close! She wouldn't think any different if I did this," she pinched his cheeks and kissed his nose. I just laughed. "Ok, maybe a little worse the second time." We all laughed. And the memories just got better from there.
