Today we are the graduation. I stayed the night with Gabe last night and he was so nervous. I'm currently sitting with his parents and mine down in the football field as we wait for the graduates to walk on the field. The school band starts playing, and a few people sitting in the front turn around to see them walk in while most just turn in their seats. When all the of students were seated. Everybody turned to the principal who said a few words then some of the students from the student government then they gave it back to the principle and he started calling students. When it got to the last person I turned to Gabe's parents as his mom spoke.

"Are they going to call him?" she asks.

"They are going to call him but he's going to give the speech real quick and then they are going to give him his diploma," I say. She nods and turns back to the stage as he walks to the stage.

"Hello, teachers, family, and friends. Today we gather to celebrate making for the last four years. If anybody would have asked us four years ago what are our plans after we graduate, we would have said to play in the NFL or MLB or to be a model, actor, singer but now here we are ready to be future engineers, teachers, lawyers, doctors and so on and so forth. I know my parents work hard to make sure that when it was time for me to graduate that I knew what I wanted to be the doesn't mean they affect my decision that just mean that day raised me right. When I move on from here I plan on taking up physical education with engineering. I know that some of our parties were hype, and our grades weren't looking so well for a while, and that some of our pranks were on the wild side, Darren. But here I am standing up here telling, 2017 for all the craziness and arguments that have gone on between classmates and fellow friends we can finally say we made it and graduated."He says. Everybody cheers and claps.

Turning around shaking the principles hand taking his diploma. He goes and sits back down. They do the little total thing and then a few minutes later you see all the hats go up in the sky. Our parents tell us they are going to the car to wait. I walk over to Gabe jumping on him wrapping my legs him giving him a kiss. He deepens the kiss but I pull away.

"I'm so proud of you. Now you have college and I have a senior year."I say.

"You do know I plan on marrying you before I graduate college right? I just wanted you to know that."He says.

He slowly lowers me to the ground I blush. Taking his hand walking towards the car when we got there him and my parents congratulated him then we got in the car with his mom and dad we all we are going out to eat at this restaurant named Monzallesa. An Italian place there first of the best pasta ever. When we get there we get out the car and go get seated there just his parents, mine his brother and my older brother and that's about it.

As she hands us our menus, everybody starts a conversation while ordering. Once I order I was quiet just thinking. And his mom noticed.

"Gabe what did you say to her beside her ordering her food she hasn't said anything? I've never really seen her this quiet actually."She says.

Everybody nods while I slowly sink in my seat.

"Nothing. I just made it clear that when the times right I'm going to marry her." He says I feel my face heat up and I'm pretty sure everybody mouths drop.

"I would be speechless too." My moms laughing.

"I'm jealous I'm older than you and I don't have a relationship this serious," Josh says

"I love Gabe and I know he loves me and both of us know that when the times come we will get married but for now we are fine the way we are," I say. And Gabe pulls me to his side.

"You're staying with me tonight."He says. I nod. They bring out our food and then we talk while eating.

"Do you have any plans tonight?"Toby asks. Looking at Gabe.

"Well, I'm not going to that party tonight if that's why you are asking what's going to be a whole problem. So I might just spend it with my baby."Gabe says. I smile.

He leans over to kiss me and I deepen the kiss. I hear somebody clear their throat and look up to see all the males at the table glaring at us while out mom gush.

When we finish eating me and Gabe go back to his house with his parents. And I go in his room and change into one of his shirts. I head. Out his room and bump into his mom.

"You know regardless of if he put a ring on your finger and I you will forever be my daughter. Even when Y'all argue and have y'all disagreements you will still be my daughter you're always biting his family and always will be."She says

"I know. I really like you too you are my second family you're my second mom and without you, I probably wouldn't be the person I am today. I mean my family played a big role so that yours so for that I'm grateful."I say. She pulls me into a hug.

" I love you and all and this once I will say that I think you have shorts on Up Under that shirt. Go downstairs he's waiting are you in the living room." She says.

"Ok," I say.

I go around her and walk down the stairs to living where I spend the rest of the night cuddling with Gabe on the couch.
