Changing For Us (Book 3/3)

Zoe's P.O.V

Today was Kellina and Ashley's graduation. I was beyond happy for both of them. I knew Kellina had wanted to study and I knew she sacrificed her education for her parents and I knew I had to push her a bit to study, but I knew deep down it's all she wanted to do. I knew that her parents would be so proud of her, especially Klara. I knew Ashley would finish her degree eventually. I knew that when Klara passed it was a hard time for her and I knew she really loved her. I was glad that she continued to study and she finally finished her PhD. I knew she had Lilliana now but I knew that deep down she wasn't Klara. 

"You okay?" I turned my attention to Jamie who was sitting to my left with Rory.  

"I'm just so happy for both of them," I smiled, looking over the crowd of blue graduation gowns. 

"Me too," Jamie laughed. I turned to Lilliana who was seated next to Landon and Rochelle. They were all in conversation. I was glad that they came, especially because Rochelle was like a mother to Ashley. 

The graduation ceremony started and honestly it was just as boring as what mine was when I graduated. Lots of people speak about the accomplishments of the year and the graduating. Mine was a lot shorter because not many people did architectural studies but they had all of the health and medical sciences together. I couldn't spot Kellina or Ashley in the blue crowd but I knew I'd get to see them on the stage. 

"Now we welcome the Bachelor of Nursing Graduates," The head coordinator spoke. I smiled and waited patiently for Kellina's name to be called. There were so many girls walking up on the stage and collecting their degrees with big smiles. I couldn't help but stand and applaud when Kellina's name was called. I watched as the blonde headed beauty walked along the stage. Her hair was out and flowed past her shoulders. She was wearing black fitted dress pants, a white blouse which she tucked into her pants and wore a nice black jacket. She even wore cream heels which surprised me. She shook the coordinators hand and paused for a photo. She was breathtaking even from this far away. I watched as she carefully walked off the stage, still clearly not used to walking in heels. She honestly looked so sexy.

"Didn't know she could pull off a suit," Rochelle laughed. 

"We need an excuse to get her to wear them all the time," 

"Agreed," Rochelle smiled. 

"And now for the PhD of Marine Biology Sciences," The Coordinator spoke. 

"Ashley Lewis," he called. We all stood up and clapped for Ashley. She was wearing a deep blue halter dress with the same colour heels. Her black hair was styled messily up into a bun flawlessly. 

"YES ASHLEY!" I yelled over the applause as she stopped for a photo. We watched as she sat down.

"Can everyone please stand for all of our graduates," The coordinator spoke. We all stood and applauded the graduates. I had the biggest smile on my face. I was honestly so proud.

Kellina's P.O.V

"Congrats," I smiled, wrapping my arms around Ashley. 

"Congrats to you too," she laughed. 

"I don't know how you do it but my feet are killing me," I groaned, taking my heels off, leaving me barefoot. 

"Honestly try being pregnant while wearing heels," She laughed. I gave her my arms to lean on as she carefully took her heels off. 

"Let's find the others," I smiled, letting her wrap her arm in mine as we walked towards where people were gathered. I spotted Landon and Rochelle first because they were the tallest and then my eyes lay on Zoe. She was wearing a wine red strapless dress with black heels. Her hair was teased with the comb and she honestly took my breath away. She always did. 

"I'm so proud of you," She whispered in my ear, when she eloped me in a hug. I held her tight, slightly swaying our bodies together. 

"Thank you for making me study," 

"You did it all yourself," she whispered back. I took notice that she had goosebumps all over her arms. I slipped my jacket off from under my gown and wrapped it around her shoulders, making sure to pull her towards me for a kiss. Her lips were so soft against mine and I could taste her vanilla chap-stick. 

"Give me some love too!" I heard Jamie laugh. I let go of Zoe and wrapped my arms around my twin. 

"I'm so proud of you," I could hear her beginning to tear up. "Klara, Mum and Dad would be so proud of you," she began crying and I couldn't help but tear up. I hid my face in her shoulder, feeling myself cry. I felt another pair of arms wrap around us. I looked up and saw Quintin with a sad smile. 

"I had to sit towards the back cause I was running late but I still made it to see my little sister graduate," I turned in Jamie's arms and hugged him. I hugged him tighter then I've ever held someone before. I let myself cry on his navy suit. His hands rubbed my back. 

"Don't leave us again," I spoke, looking directly into his eyes. 

"I won't, I promise," he spoke calmly, tucking hair out of my face. 

"I forgive you," I spoke, causing a small smile to form on his lips. 

"Come here my future daughter in law," Rochelle chuckled. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her neck. 

"And don't forget your future step dad,"Landon laughed. I laughed and hugged him. 

"Just between you and me, Zoe was checking you out on stage. She really wants you to dress like that more often," Landon whispered in my ear, causing me to smirk. 

"I'll keep that in mind," I smiled. I turned around and saw Ashley hugging Lilliana. I couldn't help but smile. It was good to see Ashley smiling as happily as she did with Lilliana like she did with Klara. I could tell that Lilliana was making her happy. 

"So what can I do to make you dress this sexy more often?" Zoe asked, wrapping her arms around me from behind. 

"Wait till our wedding day princess," I smirked, turning around in her arms. 

"Why's that?" 

"You'll have a hard time not taking me right there and then," I watched as a small blush appeared on her cheeks. I leaned down and kissed her. God she made me so happy. 

"Kellina," Zoe spoke breaking the kiss. I smiled at her waiting for her to continue. 

"I can't wait to marry you. I want to marry you today," 

"How about we have the wedding on Sunday? It gives me all day to organise it okay?" I smiled, tucking hair out of her face. 

"Okay," 

"Is Ashley you're bridesmaid?" Zoe nodded. 

"Alright everyone," I called getting everyone's attention. 

"Zoella and I wish to have our wedding on Sunday. We just can't wait for that perfect wedding at the end of the year. The wedding will be held at the forest outside my house and the after party will be at the bar where we first met," I smiled, turning my gaze to Zoe. 

"We hope you can all make it," Zoe finished, intertwining her hand in mine. I smiled at her and internally panicked. I had so much shit to organise in literally a day and I don't know how I'm going to do it.
