Can't Stop Fucking With You

Chapter 36

Elijah

Krystal slept peacefully in my arms. She seemed very frustrated after her phone call with her brother.

Actually, they're coming. They're just saying that they aren't to mess with her. I know about it too. She should herself. Her dad promised to be at all her graduations. He wouldn't break it. Especially not her brother. He would be there for sure.

Anyway, I've decided to throw her a graduation party. I told her my friend Antonio was having a party and he invited me. She never brought up anything about having for a graduation party herself which is a little strange to me. When I graduated I wanted a party for myself or at least a small get together with family and friends.

That's why Nick, Zay, Darryl, Chris, and I have been hanging out so much. I plan on surprising her and then proposing to her in front of everyone. I do have to ask her dad and probably her brother too if they give me permission to take her hand in marriage.

We've been together as friends, friends who talk, best friends, and then boyfriend and girlfriend, for a really long time. Dating wise though officially ? A year. It's been a long time I know. It's about time I put a ring on it.

I've been trying my hardest to make sure she isn't stressed over me because that's not something a boyfriend is suppose to be doing. Especially now-she has a graduation to attend and she's already really stressed out about her grades and who's all coming. Things she should be worried about, probably not as much as she is, but instead of what I'm doing behind her back.

This time though, what I'm doing behind her back will be worth it and make her extra happy when it comes to the light.

Krystal
<Graduation day>

I woke up super early today and started getting dressed. Elijah was still in bed by the time I was eating breakfast. They said they wanted up to be on campus by 8 and the graduation starts around 9-10.

Around 7:40 am I decided to wake up Elijah. He had about 5 minutes to get ready or dressed at least presentable. With a loud groan, he gets up.

"How much time do I got, ?" he asked yawning.

"Five minutes," I say getting off of him. He immediately hops out of bed and heads to the bathroom.

While I wait I'm just thinking of everything. Like I'm real-life nervous right now. What if I trip or slip and fall ? What if nobody gets a picture or video of me on that stage ?

Just everything I shouldn't be worried about like crazy, I'm worried about. With a belt being moved around and hearing its metal hit one another I zone back in. Elijah is basically ready. In five minutes, he's looking mighty good.

We get the last items we need and we head out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They're calling names right now and I'm just waiting for my name to be called. My name to be heard all over the gym. Once I get this over with, all my worries will be gone and I'll be free of my stress for a second.

Half an hour later when I'm even more nervous thinking I'm never getting called which is very false because I wouldn't even be here right now.

Immediately thrown out of my thoughts, my name was called. "Krystal Maria Jones," was announced on the speakers and I immediately started to smile. I got up and walked on stage.

While walking up there I was hit with the thoughts of only having my friends and boyfriend here to support me. I was happy with that, but I was still upset that my actual family couldn't, actually wouldn't, come.

Either way, I plastered a smile on face and walked across to get my diploma. I headed for the first hand I needed to shake and while shaking the first hand a lot of people cheered which made me turn my head. I knew those screams and that's when a fully real smile came onto my face.

After shaking everyone's hand I had to, I turned to take a picture and walked off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, after everyone's names were called I could go and be with the people I love. I ran out and immediately hugged Elijah screaming.

"I GRADUATED," I yelled laughing. I got down instantly seeing my brother along with the rest of my family.

I for sure ran over to them and hugged them tightly.

"You told me y'all wasn't coming," I stated looking at my brother with my eyebrow raised.

"I kind of lied," he said with a sheepish smile.

"Ughh I hate you," I said rolling my eyes playfully.

After a good five minutes of standing there talking and introducing everybody, we made our way to Danny's party.

We get to this beautiful house about 20 minutes out. It's a two-story too. We made our way inside and nobody was there. That was a little strange but then Elijah told me that they were all in the backyard so I let it go.

Elijah stepped in front of me to open the door for me. Once I thanked him and turned around I saw a banner that said 'Happy Graduation Baby' on it.

"Elijah oh my gosh thank you," I said turning around immediately after taking it in and squeezing him tightly. "I love it."

"I'm glad you do baby. You know I had to do something special for you on your graduation," he said smiling down at me.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I love you too," he whispered back smiling.

Elijah

Everyone's having fun, laughing and smiling. We have a baby dancing while the parents snap pictures and hype them up. Just a really beautiful picture to see.

I'm really nervous but I have to do it now. It's the perfect moment now. So I go to the little speaker that's playing music and turn it off. I grab the microphone next and take a deep breath.

"I'd like to have everyone's attention please," I say looking around. "This party is beautiful and I thank you all for coming but I have a question I want to ask Krystal," I pause gathering every thought and word so I can say it right.

"Krystal Maria Jones. I love you with all my heart, and we've been through hell and back. You're all I want and ever want. I don't want anybody else but you. Nobody will ever be better than you. I know I haven't been the best man or the man you needed in the beginning, but I've been trying to make up for that because I know that you can go and find better. You deserve the world and all its treasures. Krystal Jones, I am madly and deeply in love with you and I hope you feel the same," I say walking closer to her as her eyes became glossy. "Krystal Maria Jones, will you do me the honors and marry me ?" I say as I bend down on one knee pulling out the ring, everyone in the back gasped in aw. All that matters right now is her. All I ever want to do is be with her.

"Elijah-" she started.

"GIRL SAY YES SO WE CAN PARTY AGAIN," her cousin yelled making us laugh.

"Yes Elijah I will marry you," she said cheesing making me cheese as well.
