This is insane! Mom Dad I did it.

Jughead was looking for her and sees her looking at the photo.

"Wow now I see the beautiful photo of your parents."

Jessica try not to cry as she is a little sad to leave behind the place where her parents first met. She has literally grew up in Riverdale High since Matt and Emily had her at 16 and 17.

"This place holds so many special memories. This is so hard!"

Jughead comfort her as she sobbed.

"I know Babe."

He holds her close as she lets the tears roll down her cheek.

Archie has been looking for Jess as he has her cap and gown. Once he found her, he notice Jessica sobbing.

"Sis?"

He looks up at the class photo and realize what she sees.

"Gosh I know sis."

and held her close.

Once she composed herself they have helped her put on the cap and gown.

"Can you take a photo of me and my parents?"

Archie did. Then all of the graduates piled up to take a photo with the senior class photos of their parents.

The ceremony was beautifully done and everyone did a speech. When it was Jessica's turn the staff put a beautiful video of her literally growing up in front of everyone eyes as the song Kenny Chesney There Goes My Life plays as it described Emily and Matt's journey with Jess.

All he could think about was I'm to young for this
Got my whole life ahead
Hell I'm just a kid myself
How'm I gonna raise one
All he could see were his dreams going up in smoke
So much for ditching this town and hanging out on the coast
Oh well, those plans are long gone
And he said
There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
Might as well kiss it all good-bye
There goes my life
A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator
Oh yeah, he loves that little girl.
Momma's waiting to tuck her in
As she stumbles up those stairs
She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear
Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncing curls
He smiles
There goes my life
There goes my future my everything
I love you, daddy goodnight
There goes my life
She had that Honda loaded down
With Abercrombie clothes and 15 pairs of shoes and his American express
He checked the oil and slammed the hood, said your good to go
She hugged the both and headed off to the west coast
He cried
There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
I love you
Baby good-bye
There goes my life
There goes my life
Baby good-bye

Jessica was touched by the tribute and love the photos one in particular of she and Fred napping in the middle of gym. He was literally being Godfather in that moment! Then they showed photos of her with Jughead & Archie as well of all of their friends.

"What a tribute to my life and time at Riverdale. Thank you to all the staff who definitely put it all together with the song as it truly did fit the journey my parents went through. My dad often said they did not regret in giving it all up and that I did brought the adventures at school entertaining you all! I don't know how I did it, but y'all entertained me when I was fussy at times especially to my father then my Godfather you knew how to keep me quiet and tucked out in class and there were plenty of photos I have seen where we were both tucked out and Momma and Dad were always thankful that you are my Godfather. He constantly said that Fred was a hero on the days where I needed to study for exams!"

Everyone laugh.

"My mom also mentioned that FP Jones would try to be a wonderful uncle role model kind of like Uncle Jesse in Full House."

Jughead was surprise. Jess admit look at him.

"Yes that's your dad in my Momma's descriptions and he would be trying to convert me into a Serpent at a young age. No worries Uncle you're safe now."
