Chapter 10

I took a deep breath. My name was about to be called.

"(F/N)." The Dean said. I smiled as I crossed the stage to receive my diploma. I could hear my family cheering me on. As I shook hands with the principal I glanced behind him towards the seats where Nick was sitting. He was clapping and doing the loud whistle. I smiled more and walked down the stage back to my seat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh you did it!" My mom said.

"I know." I replied smiling. I heard someone clear their throat. I turned around to see Nick holding a bouquet of (F/F).

"Congrats." He said handing them to me.

"Aw, thank you." I said taking the flowers. He looked nervous, but he smiled at my parents, which was only my mom and dad. "Mom, Dad, this is Nick, my..." I glanced at Nick. "Boyfriend." I smiled. "Nick, these are my parents, (M/F/N) and (F/F/N)."

"It's nice to meet you Ms. (M/L/N) and Mr. (F/L/N)." Nick smiled.

"And you." My mother said shaking his hand. My father stared skeptically at Nick, but shook his hand politely.

"Nick was going to take me out to eat, unless you had plans." I asked my parents, even though I knew that they didn't.

"Well can I join you?" My dad asked. I gave him a look of bewilderment because when I asked if he wanted to take me out to eat he said he would be busy with a meeting he had later tonight.

"Certainly." Nick said glancing at me. I shrugged to let him know that I had no idea what my Dad had planned.

We decided to eat at (F/R) and I was about ready to disown my father. He kept asking Nick personal questions and then criticizing him for decisions he had made in the past. I tried to explain all of the good things Nick had done, but Dad wasn't having it.

After dinner, instead of going with Nick, I drove home with Dad and argued about how he didn't approve of Nick.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He had finally calmed down enough to let me speak when we had arrived at home. Which was an hour later due to traffic.

"Dad it doesn't matter that you don't approve of Nick, he's my boyfriend and I'm eighteen. I can do whatever I want."

"But you still live under my roof." Dad pointed out.

"I'll be moving soon anyway." I countered.

"But you'll still need me for that, remember?"

I exhaled, "Then I won't go."

"What?"

"I won't go to college then. Not if you won't let me be with Nick." I surprised myself usually I didn't just make hasty decisions. Especially without Nick knowing that he was involved in my sudden plan.

"You are going to college and you will not be with Nick." Dad said raising his voice.

"I don't care what you say, I'm eighteen and I'm moving out without your help and I'm going to be with Nick!"I said walking to my room. I grabbed my keys and walked out to my car ignoring my dad's words.

"Get back here right now young lady!" He yelled. I started my car and the engine roared to life. I quickly reversed, and once I was on the street, I sped away to Nick's hotel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was crying of course, being the sensitive person I was, so when I knocked on Nick's door and he saw my face, he wrapped his arms around me and held me while I continued to sob. He managed to maneuver me to the bed, where we sat down and I explained what happened. Nick was quiet for a long time, but I didn't mind that since I was still crying.

Finally he took a deep breath, "(Y/N), he is your father."

"I know, but I really like you and want to be with you." I said. He stared into my eyes for a long time. 

"Damn I can't even say that we shouldn't be together."He said holding my face in his hands.

"Then don't... And don't leave me." I said. Three days. It had only been three days, but I knew him so well because we would talk every day after shooting, and then there was that night when I even told him about my family. I never mentioned my family to a guy.

"I won't, I swear I won't." He said and kissed me. I kissed back.

"And you can stay with me as long as you need to... Or want to." He said.

"Thank you and I'll get a job and I'll pay you back for everything." I said.

"Nah, we can just have a joint account." He said.

"Mm fine, but only half of what you earn and everything I earn goes in there." I said not wanting him to baby me.

"Deal." He chuckled and kissed me again.

"Thank you." I said.

"Anything for you." He replied and kissed me yet again. "Oh and you have beautiful eyes." I laughed and kissed him one more time.
