All That Matters

Class of 2014

*2 months later*

Paisley p.o.v

Today is the day. The day I become a women and go on with my life. When me and Harry can finally travel across the country, to follow our dreams.

Together.

"You ok babe?", asks Harry.

I nod while biting my lip and squeeze his hand.

He puts on his cap and I help him tie his blue robe.

"We're twinning!", he yells in a girly way.

I laugh at him and we head out to his car.

When we reach the school, we spot my mom and Harry's mother with Robin.

My mother and Anne are balling their eyes out, and I'm getting teary eyed as well.

"Is everyone here PMSing?, whispers Harry into my ear.

I hit him hard in the gut and he chuckles.

After taking a few goofy pictures with Harry, I spot Gina and Niall.

I run towards them and hug them both at the same time.

"We're graduating!", I yell.

They both laugh and we all walk into the school.

I spot Louis, Zayn, and Liam in the atrium with all their girls, and walk up to them.

Elle, Danielle, and Perrie all go to a private girls school, so they don't graduate for a couple of days.

"Hey doll!", yells Eleanor while putting her arm around me.

I smile and say hello.

"Are you excited!", she asks.

"Yeah.. Nervous", I reply.

"I totally get it. I can't wait to graduate, but I'm also nervous. Are you going to California with us?", she asks.

I nod and she smiles.

"Yay! So are the girls!", she says pointing towards Danielle and Perrie.

I suddenly realize that Gina didn't mention if she's going with us.

I give Elle a quick hug, and go to find Gina.

"Hey!", I yell as I see her with Niall and Harry.

"I gotta ask you something", I say walking towards them.

"Are you going to Cali with us?"

She doesn't respond and becomes teary eyed.

"I don't think so. I never got a letter back from the music school", she says.

I gasp and almost burst into tears.

What am I going to do without my bestfriend?

I grab her and pull her into a hug. She sobs into my shoulder and I cry right back into hers.

"I'm gonna miss you", I say pulling away.

She wipes her tears and smiles.

"I already promised Niall I would come visit you guys every two months or so", she says.

I look down.

2 months or more apart is too long.

After we cry some more and clean up our messed up makeup, we head to the auditorium.

We have to be in alphabetical order, so I go and stand behind the G's.

"Ladys and gentlemen. Welcome to the graduation of Romand Highschool's class of 2014!", yells my principal Mrs. Terry.

Everyone claps and we are then told to be seated.

"Your children have been with us for the past four years, and it has been an honor. We have taught them things that they will need to get through the rest of their lives..", says Mrs.Terry.

She drones on as I scan the crowd. I find Gina behind me and wave at her. Then I see Liam and Niall.

They wave and I wave back.

I finally spot Harry and see that he is already staring at me.

I smile at him and he smiles back.

He mouths "Don't be nervous. I love you", and turns back around.

I fiddle with my hands as Mrs. Terry finishes her speech, and the crowd erupts into applause.

"Now I would like to introduce to you, our representative of class 2014, Miss Paisley Green!", Mrs. Terry announces.

I stand up from my seat and walk towards the podium as everyone claps, all eyes on me.

I pull the folded paper from my pocket, and look into the crowd. I see my mom waving at me and giving me thumbs up. I take a deep breath and look down at my paper.

You can do this.

"This year has been extraordinary. We've finally found ourselves, and realized how it feels to be an adult", I say into the microphone.

I see Harry waving at me, and I smile.

"This is the time where we can make mistakes, and learn how to fix them. They asked us what we wanted to be when we were younger. An astronaut, a cowgirl, a princess", I say laughing.

The crowd laughs along and I continue.

"But now they want a serious answer. And some of us don't know that answer. We have choices, and can make them, and change them again and again. We can study medical, move away from home, and even fall in love", I say as my eyes land on Harry.

"We can make mistakes over and over again, and then make history. So let's make the lives ahead of us the best, because who knows what the hell there is to come!", I yell.

The crowd erupts into applause and I bow while walking off the stage.

My hands are shaking but I feel good.

I recieve multiple pats on the back and a few smiles.

After another speech from our teachers, our principal starts calling off names.

"Selena Anderson...", she begins.

I wait patiently until my name is called, and rise from my seat.

I look to see Louis, Zayn, Gina, Niall and Harry standing up cheering for me.

I smile as I shake my principals hand.

"Congrats Miss Green", she says as she hands me the diploma.

I look into the crowd and hold up my diploma in the air while fist pumping.

This is it.

My life has finally began.

"Hey grads!", yells Perrie as we leave the school. Everyone congratulates us, and then we all get into seperate cars. We're headed to Louis's house to celebrate.

No parents allowed.

"You did great on your speech babe", says Harry as we get into the car.

I take off my cap and throw it into the back seat.

"Thanks babe".

Harry starts the car and we pull out of the parking lot.

"When do you wanna leave for LA?", asks Harry.

"I don't start school till Wednesday, so I guess we can leave on Tuesday. Is that ok?", I ask him.

He nods and grabs my hand.

I only have a week until I leave Michigan.

It's crazy how much my year has changed.

I have a diploma, a new home, and most importantly, Harry.

I have Harry.

And that's all that matters.
