*time jump*
Jo's pov
(Grad day)

"JoAnna Carter" my name echoes through the auditorium as mine and Harry's families are screaming their heads off for me. I look back at Harry and his hands cup his mouth and he's cheering for me the loudest. I love him so much.

Heel toe, heel toe, heel toe. I concentrate on walking cause I would die of embarrassment if I were to fall. I come eye to eye with Mr Roberts, he has been there for me through a lot, from Lexi pushing me down those bleachers, to the time my uncle died, his office door was always open.

I give him a genuine smile and a tear slips from my eye. I shake his hand and turn to the camera, the bright light blinds me and they call the next name. I pull Mr R into a hug.

"Thank you for everything, I sure am going to miss you" we let go of the hug
"I'll miss you too kid" he pats my back and I walk off the stage, diploma and my award I had won earlier in hand. I've never been so proud of myself.

I sit in the first row in front of the stage, an empty spot next to me, for Harry of course, were supposed to sit in alphabetical order, but whatever.

"Harry Styles" I jump up out of my seat and cheer along with our families as my perfect boyfriend walks across the stage, looking perfect as ever. He takes the picture and hugs Mr R, just as I had 5 minutes prior.

Harry makes his way to our seats, he pulls me up into a hug
"We did it baby" he says in my ear as we stand there
"We did it" I smile and I see a bright flash, I look to where it came from to see my mom with her camera in hand. I laugh and shake my head as me and Harry sit down. We did it. We graduated.

"Ok who's next" I clap my hands as my best friends walk into position. We did this pose that we had done for our graduation from middle school. We set the picture of little us in front as we replicated the pose. Layla and I sit back to back, Tilly lays down in front of us, holding the picture, and Mitchell is in the back doing little hand guns.

My mom laughs and takes the picture. I get up and dust off my butt, we stand together with our arms behind each other's backs, taking a normal picture. I kiss them all on the cheek as they go off again to take their own pics.

"I want a picture with Jo and Harry!" Anne yelled as she pushed her way to the front of the small crowd in front of me. Harry joins us, standing on the other side of her and we all smile happily. My parents replace Anne in the next pictures.

I've gotten through everybody, so I call Harry over so we can take some really cute pictures. First it's just us standing normally, except I'm a little bit turned towards him.
