JOHNNY'S HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION DAY
2020

"AND THAT IS OUR TALENTED CLASS OF 2020. I'M IMMENSELY PROUD OF YOU GUYS" Dale said "you've accomplished so much! i'm also very proud to have my son amongst the graduates" he said turning to smile to Johnny "now it's time to celebrate with friends and family everyone" he said and all the graduates started heading for their family's.

          i immediately saw Brynn running towards me "Kenz! oh my god i can't believe you won't be my roommate anymore" she said hugging me tightly "me too! it's not gonna be the same without you here. your like my second sister and i love you" i told her "stop, you'll make me cry" she said hugging me even tighter. she then abruptly pulled away "hey, i'll talk to you later, i'm going to my family" "okay, love you Brynny" i said "i love you too" she answered with a smile before heading off.

          "hey" someone said behind me and i turned around to see those green eyes. "hey John" i said awkwardly. "congrats" i said while leaning in and giving him a kiss. yes, we are still together, but he's off to college now and i don't think we should stay together. not because i don't love him, but because i want him to have the full college experience and not worry about talking to me and stuff. "look" we said at the same time "no let me talk" he said. he took my hand and pulled me to a quieter place.

           "look Kenzie, since the first time i met you i was sure of one thing. that you were the one for me. and with everything that we've been through, in one hundred percent sure of that" he gulped down hard, and knowing him he was swallowing his tears "i love you. and when we get to be together again i know it's going to be forever, but..." he trailed off "our time is not now. i know" i interrupted him "i want you to go and live it up at Berklee. i want you to do all that without having to worry about me and us every second, you deserve that" i said taking his face on my hands. "i love you too, and i'll be here. i'll always be here. i was here after tour and i'll be here after college" i wrapped my arms around his neck and hugging him "and i'll always come back. i'll be back after we're both graduated. i promise" he said hugging back.

MACKENZIE'S COLLEGE GRADUATION
2025

THAT'S IT. MY COLLEGE EXPERIENCE WAS DONE. it had been one of the best four years of my life. i met so many people, had so many experiences. i never thought something could ever surpass me joining the Academy when i was 16. but maybe college did. i still loved the people i met back then. me and Brynn were going to move in together into an apartment in LA. me and Hayden kept in contact, so did me and Lauren. they were still together, they went to the same college and are graduating now too.

me and Annie didn't talk as frequently, but we still kept in touch. the only one i didn't talk to was Johnny. we agreed to not talk that day he graduated. we knew it was best for both of us. i still loved him. a lot. i dated like two guys in college, they didn't last long because i was always thinking about Johnny. while i was in my thoughts i heard some screaming. "baby, i'm so proud" i heard Brynn's voice say. i saw her and Maddie running towards me in their heels. they attacked me in a bear hug "thanks you guys" i said smiling brightly. "hey, we have some surprises" Maddie said "close your eyes" Brynn completed. i did and they started guiding me to somewhere. "okay open" i opened them and immediately screamed.

"LAUREN! HAYDEN! ANNIE" i said running towards them. i hugged the girls first "i missed you guys! how are you here?" "uh, well explain later" Lauren said. i then turned to Hayden "Hay! oh my god. i missed you" i said while hugging him. as he did in high school, he lifted me off the ground "i missed you too Mack!" he said while putting me down "but there's more. close your eyes again" he said. and i did. i heard a lot of steps leaving and then some coming towards me. the someone crashed their lips into mine, which took me by surprise. i pulled away angrily "what the fuck?". but when i saw who it was i chocked. "J-John?" i asked "hello there. long time no see" he said. he hadn't changed much.

he still had the fluffy hair and the prefect green eyes. his voice was still the same. "oh my god! no way" i threw myself in his arms "yes way. i promised i'd come back to you after college. i never break my promises" he said in a very serious tone. after five years finally, i was in his arms again. "okay but please tell me you still love and and want us to be together because i know we were kids and..." he rambled. i pulled away from the hug and kissed him again, and i could feel him smiling "i do. i love you so much. i never stopped" i said. he smiled so bright, i never thought i would see that "i love you too. and i'm never letting you go ever again" he said before crashing our lips together again.

i was finally back with the love of my life. and i couldn't be happier. not only that, i was back with the people that always made my life so much better. sure college was an amazing experience. but this right here, was all i could've asked for after this four years.

i will always thank my mom for putting me into a school for talented kids. because there i met my people and i was back with them now. and now it was forever.
