Apex- AU HS FANFIC

Chapter 43

Graduation came around alot faster than anyone had ever anticipated. Harry and I were over a year strong and hardly ever fought about anything other than stupid things. 

"Babe." I giggled as we were at my house. 

"What?" He smirked, continuing to kiss my lips. I was on the kitchen counter and he was between my legs. I could hear my mother laughing with Rick in the living room over some movie they were watching. 

"Stop." I giggled as he continued to tickle my side. I was thrown over his shoulder and sat on his lap when he got to the couch. Mindy had also become a personal friend since her interest in our entire relationship lead to her conducting a research study. 

"You guys are cute." She smiled and I grinned at her. "We're graduates. Babe we actually did it." I looked up at Harry who only kissed my forehead. "Of course we did, dork, I did all the work." "Liar! I did all of your english assignments!" "And I did all of your Math. Consider it even." He smirked and I rolled my eyes. 

"You guys cheated! I'm tattling." Josh joked from beside Marissa. He was visiting us from his uni. He and Marissa took a break since distance was an issue. He attended UCLA while Marissa took an offer for NYU but they never could seem to get over eachother since everytime they were home they'd spend the break having sex and going on dates. 

"Do it." I teased and leaned back. Harry had his legs up on the coffee table. I was on his lap so my legs were on his and my back was against his chest. One of his arms were around my waist, the other was around my shoulders to keep me in place while my hands rested on his arms. 

"I will." 

"Snitch!" I squeaked as Harry laughed and pressed a kiss to my shoulder. "So. What now? Have you guys decided on a uni?" Anne asked coming in and kissed my head. 

"Hi Anne, Gem. Hi my baby jackson and of course hello mason." I got up and greeted their family. 

"We're both going to California State. Heard the weather is lovely plus, we cannot be separated for obvious reasons." Harry said and pulled me back down to our original position.

"Together?" Mindy asked with a tilted expression. 

"Yes, we'll be living together or whatever." 

"Is it not too soon? I mean you've only been together a year?" 

"No, we're practically living together now. He's always here. His shits in my room, mine is in his. It's literally like we live together so when we go out there it would not be any different aside from we wouldn't have to be careful where we make out because they'll be nobody we want to respect." I said with a tilted expression. 

"But you're not even married!" Mindy seemed flustered and I was confused. 

"I know but that doesn't mean anything." Harry said and tapped my thigh. I nodded and went to answer the door for the pizza. Mindy continued to argue her case with Harry, soon after Rich took her side. 

"I don't understand what the issue is? It's literally not your lives. It's ours. We are adults now. I'm completely sure living together, as a married apex couple, is no different than living together unmarried apex couple" I snapped and threw the pizza boxes on the coffee table. 

"What is your deal? Seriously? They want to live together let them." Gemma snapped and Mindy glared at us. 

"It's unconventional." 

"You're completely right." Harry sighed and and I snapped my head to him. 

"What the fuck? You're siding with her?" I crossed my arms. I was fuming. I was pissed and now I was being betrayed by him? What the fuck? 

"Honey let's not do this here. Right now." He sighed and I just rolled my eyes. 

"What is your obsession anyways? You two, with all due respect, should have the least amount of say in my life. You are not my father and you, are just my therapist." I pointed to each of them and Mindy's jaw dropped in shock. 

"Baby." Harry pulled my hand but I was so pissed I ignored him and stared at Richardo who looked confused as he stared behind me. 

"No, I'm pissed." 

"Baby." Harry warned and I turned to look at him. He was on one knee and smiled with a light chuckle as he saw me calm down. 

"What's going on?" My siblings walked in, gasping when Harry was in their vision. 

"Baby, almost 18 months ago today you made me a promise. You said that if we would make it pass graduation I would be gifted with the honor as you as my wife. I'm upholding you to your promise. I love you with my entire heart, my heart stopped when yours did. Nine fucking times but hey? Who's counting right? I would like you, baby, to be my partner in crime, my right hand, my best friend and my wife. Leslie Grace Ibarra, would you do me the honor of marrying me?" Harry spilled, pulling out a black velvet box from his pocket. 

"Are you sure?" I whimpered, covering my mouth with my free hand since he was holding onto my hand, he laughed and nodded.

 "Then yes. A million times yes. Baby yes." I nodded and he grinned, slipping the ring on my finger as everybody cheered. I sobbed, wrapping my arms around his neck as he lifted me up when he got up. 

I pressed a kiss to his lips as he squeezed me. I was engaged. What the fuck? I didn't expect him to fall through with wanting to marry me. 

"Congratulations!" My mom sobbed and hugged me. "Thank you." I mouthed unable to form words. I was hugged by everyone in the room besides Mindy who still seemed mad but I didn't care. 

"I love you." I hugged Harry who smiled.

 "I love you too, dweeb." He kissed my lips as his thumbs wiped my tears away. God I was so happy.
