Listen to hey-ho by the lumineers( I love this song it makes me remember my bedmate in high school she was one among a million)

Jessica

The alarm rang loudly on my bed and I woke to see my dress hanged properly on the side of my bed.I woke and smiled looking at the dress and remembered the five years that had brought hell and also heaven on earth and finally here I am graduating. Wow! Dreams are valid.

I took a bath and did all am supposed to do before putting the on the dress and looking at myself in the mirror. This is it Jessica say goodbye to childhood and hello to the world.

I went down to find Allison and dad at dinner. Allison was wearing a pink free dress and I was wearing a one should knee length dress enough of the gowns from yesterday

"look who it is,,,,,,, " said dad as I walked down the stairs "my other beautiful daughter who is finally graduating"

"thanks dad" I said as I slipped to the seat beside Allison

"hey looking great" she told me "yeah you too"

"where are mom and Billy?" I asked dad before Billy came running from upstairs and engulfing both me and Allison in a surprise hug

"am so proud of two big sisters" as he looked at as "I know I never told you this but I love you two and am sorry if I have been a troublesome brother who wanted attention from his two big sisters who are going to move out soon but just know I love you both very much and am proud of you"

"we love you too Billy" said Allison as I nodded my head in agreement

"I have gifts for you two" he said before removing two small boxes from behind him "this is for you Ash and this is yours Ally"

We took and opened Allison's was a fancy bracelet since she loved fancy things and mine was a beautiful wrist watch

"awwww thank you Billy" I told him followed by Allison.

"Girls,,,,,,, " said my dad as we both looked at him "I know I might have been the best father especially to you Jessica but deep down I love you two so much. Your mother and I have had our share of poor parenting and decision-making but we want you to know we are really sorry and we love you both very much and for that we have something for you" he said pointing to the living room as mum came in with two graduation gowns in her hands

"wow! Guys aren't this expensive?" I asked

"yeah but I rented them for you guys because I knew you would need them,,,,, here you go" said mum as she hugged as and gave us the gowns

"wow mum they are beautiful" said Allison "this is so awesome"

"we love you both and we are really really proud of you guys" she said "anyway everyone finish your breakfast we are going to be late for the ceremony"

"I even bought a camera" said dad as he removed the camera and started pretending to be a paparazzi as we all laughed.

Jayden

I looked at myself in the mirror in my gown and I couldn't imagine this was finally happening

"Jay,,,,,,," said Shayne coming in with the same kind of gown as I smiled at her
