My last year of college. My last year of college is almost over. My last year of college. I graduate soon, then I go home.

I am now 22 and Niall is 23. Yes, I keep track of him even though he seems to not care about me. Since last Christmas we have been texting each other, but he doesn't seem as interested any more. And that kills me but I can't do anything about it.

After all my studying is done and I have nothing to do, Jessica talks me into going to the gym. In fact, that's what she's done since that day at Starbucks. Apparently she doesn't have many friends either. We are now just about best friends.

Since I've been going to the gym I've noticed my stomach, instead of soft, is hard. As strange as it sounds Jessica clams it's a good thing. I just went with it.

I am currently getting ready for my graduation. I sit here, in a chair next to Jessica as we do our make up. I know I shouldn't be nervous because there's nothing to be nervous of, but I am anyway. Niall may very well be here.

"You okay?" Jessica asks. I nod and sigh at the same time. "Don't be worried, he's going to be blown away at how fit you are now," she giggles. I can't help but giggle with her. This is why we're best friends, she reads minds.

"I can't believe I was stupid enough to tell him that," I sigh.

"You were right to tell him, he was wrong to run. If you asks me, he's a douche, but I won't say that because I know how much you love him." I smile. She's the only one that can make me smiles at moments like these.

"Time to go," I say after looking at my phone for the time.

We quickly get lined up for graduation and my nerves come back, full forced. I can hear the million people talking.

They lined us up by our last names so 'styles' is somewhat in the middle as 'Taylors' for Jessica taylers is right in front of me. Weird HUH?

"Jessica Taylors," The den says. I gulp, I'm next. I watch as she walks confidently up the stairs and grabs her diploma while shaking hands with him. My hands are sweating.

"Tessa styles." I gulp one more time before walking out so everyone can see me. I walk as confidently as I can up the stairs and shake his hand. My hand is shacking and he smiles, knowing how scared I am. I grab my diploma and stand on the platform next to Jessica. She brushes her hand against mine then grabs it. Yes, we hold hands. Don't judge us.

"You see him?" She asks. I look around to see if I can fined the leprechaun. There he is, all the way in the back, starring back at me. I look away, to who ever the hell is getting their diploma next.

"In the back," I whisper to Jessica. She nods and looks to the back. I try my hardest not to make eye contact with him, but it's hard when he never stops starring at me.

"You may turn your tassels-" everyone throws their hat up in the air instead of turning the tassels. Hundreds of hats fly through the air, landing everywhere. I smile at the sight. I officially graduated! I hug Jessica and she hugs me back.

Everyone heads to the changing rooms. Jessica and I quickly change out of our gowns. We use the same little stall, don't judge, we were room mates we've seen it all before and all the other stalls were taken.

We hurry out to find our parents, promising to call and text every day and hugging each other one last time. This is goodbye, hundreds of graduates means one big mess and not being able to find people. I'm going to have a hard time finding-

"Tessa," Nialls voice calls me. I look up to see He's right in front of me.

"Niall!" I hug him tightly. He chuckles and hugs back.

"Your moms over here," he says as he pulls me to the out doors. Everyone seems to be inside so out side is way less noisy.

"Tessa!" Mom says running over to me. Yup she's crying. She gives me one of her bone crushing hugs. Good thing my ribs a better. She pulls away and the next person I see is Harry.

"Harry!" I jump into his arms like always. He spins me around like I'm a little girl.

"Congraduations!" He says. I hug my brother for slightly longer then normal. I've missed him so much. I pull away and hug the other boys.

Harry Louis and Niall get in my jeep. While Zayn and Liam get in my moms car.

We all drive back to moms house together. Only two hours. I keep telling myself, Only two hours of Harry and Louis goofing off in the back seat while Niall and I sit in awkward silence in the front. Only two hours.

"How long are you guys staying?" I ask Niall.

"Only for you graduation party, we leave tomorrow," he says. Tomorrow. Too soon.
