Michael's POV.

"Don't tell me you are crying..?" Shawn asks grabbing my hand gently.

"No. It's just..it feels unreal." I don't want to end up crying like a baby so I take a deep breath to calm my emotions.

"Unreal?" Shawn scoffs beside me but his eyes say it all as he knows what I mean to say.

"Yeah. Who would've thought things will turn out to be like this."

"Like what?" He asks softly.

I take my time to look around the hall as everyone is seated and the principal is giving her speech. My school life is finally going to be over. This place that I considered as hell holds so many memories, good and bad. I met Shawn and my worst bully became my forever love.

It can't get more dramatic and I can't be more blessed.

Ever since my father went to jail, I started living with Shawn. I didn't want to be a burden on him and his parents but those humble beings can't be more sweet. It shocked us both that his parents willingly accepted our relationship. Also, they were nothing but loving even when Shawn disclosed about his sexuality. Sure, it took him time to adjust to the new feelings and there were moments when he would struggle to keep up with the drastic changes. The whole school knows about our gay love. Some made fun while some sincerely supported.

The confessions were made and now we are as happy as we can ever be. We both know there so much ahead of us now but all we hope is for us be strong together.

"Like this." I say before kissing him on his cheek.

He blushes and I grin widely. He is seriously so cute. Who would've thought that this tough guy could be such a softie?

"You asked for it." He says before lunging at me as I laugh loudly dodging him in the process. He's not getting what he wants. Not now at least.

"Hey Shawn." Thomas and other friends of Shawn approach us. Kayla too. I remember the day I was jealous of her. I feel so stupid. She seem to be sweet though.

Shawn greets them and they eye me too acknowledging my presence. They have never bullied me ever since the day Shawn announced our secret. While some were still mad at the fact and teased us for being the way we were, they ended up being the same friends they were back then. Actually, I was happy that Shawn didn't lose his gang and his reputation. At least, he didn't have to face what I did all my life. I still remember what happen at that day.

"I will be right back, okay." Shawn said and with a kiss on my cheek he left. We are in the school parking lot and Shawn went to bring his car.

"Oh, look. Who's here." Thomas said as he and his minions begin to approach towards me. Suddenly, my grip on the strap became tight. With every step, the grip got tighter.

"Well, Shawn is not gonna save your ass this time." He said and punched me in my stomach. All the pain that was long gone, came back in some seconds.

I heard the laughing of people who are circling me. I fell down with the pressure of the punch.

"C'mon lets begin the party." Thomas said and he kicked me so hard that blood spill out of my mouth.

Suddenly, my vision began to become blurry and I could see them enjoying. But then I saw a tall, strong figure.

He came running towards Thomas and punched him. The punch was so strong that Thomas' mouth began to bleed.

"When I said DON'T TOUCH HIM! I meant it." He shouts angrily.

"What is so special in him, huh? He's just a whore.." Thomas spat on him. Shawn came to me and picked me up. He wrapped an arm around my waist in order to support me while standing.

"It's because I LOVE HIM." He said and then there was the silence surrounding the whole parking lot. There was no more mocking or laughing. Everybody was trying to process what Shawn said.

They didn't say anything to my surprise and left.

Next day, none of us got bothered anymore and we got some dirty stares that we just ignored.

"Hey you there?" Shawn said. 

"Sorry. I was just thinking."

"About me?" He says in a flirty voice.

"As if." I play along teasingly. He kisses me and I pass him a smile.

"C'mon guys, the graduation ceremony will begin soon." Someone yells and we take our seats.

Soon, the ceremony ends.

Shawn comes closer to me, his arm making its way over my waist. Our chests have no space left in between them. Our eyes lock and without any hesitation our lips crash with each other.

I would laugh if I look at the faces of all the people around us who I know are staring at us wide-eyed but I'm too engrossed in my business to even care.

Retracting our lips, our foreheads touch each other and we smile lovingly. Probably looking like the ones who just experienced their first love.

Wait. It's same for us too actually.

We stare. And stare.

It will be an understatement to say that this boy changed my life. I don't know what I can even do without him now. If anyone would've told that we'd end up together like this during the beginning of the year, I would have laughed at their faces. But it did happen. And I can't be more grateful.

Afterall, he is the one who taught how to live.

The one who stayed by my side through this whole journey from hell to heaven.

He is my heaven.
