(I don't know of this counts as like a last chapter/epilogue....buuutt I plan on writing a sequel and will have it posted.)
~2 years later~
I looked out to the crowd in search of Austin, and the rest of the band including everyone else I had met.
This was the day I had been waiting for. This was my day. Today was the day I was graduating. Everyone was talking amongst themselves and it was actually quite loud.
I was sitting next to someone I didn't even know on my right and one of the meanest girls in school on my left. I was basically trapped, and had 20 minutes of this until the ceremony started, I sat there while the unknown dude next to me was quiet and the girl was bitching and moaning about not wanting to be here.
"ERIKA!" I turned around and saw Sabrina jumping up and down waving her arms like an idiot and smiling. I waved and she smiled and air hugged me.
The principle walked up to the microphone and tapped it and cleared his throat.
Everyone slowly became quiet and he started his speech.
"Good morning everyone. I'm principle Walker. And today we have the class of 2014. Now to say I'm proud of this class is an understatement...." Blah blah blah de blah.
I zoned out after that and just stared. I don't even remember a word that was said.
But I snapped back into reality when I heard the names start to be announced.
"Therese Allen"
Hate her
"Zachary Amend"
He was actually really nice, just super awkward.
They were still on the A's. I had some time before it came to my name.
I was happy that my graduation day was here. It was what I dreamed of honestly. I haven't applied to colleges or really planned out anything but I knew that when I figured out who I was I would be ready for it.
"Erika Carlile." Screams filled the auditorium and I walked up to grab my diploma.
"YEAH ERIKA YOU GO GIRL!" I heard Alan yell and stand up.
"THATS MY DAUGHTER!!" I heard Austin chime in.
"THATS OUR BEST FRIEND!" I heard Alex and Jack yell.
Even after the crowd died down they continued to applause.
"Alright settle down. Now lets continue."
~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>
"MY HIGHSCHOOL GRADUATE!!" Austin yelled and attacked me with a hug. "Awh thanks guys. It means a lot."
"Ummm what are we fucking waiting for? LETS FUCKING PARTY!!" Jack yelled and walked to the car.
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING MY DAUGHTER DRUNK!" Austin yelled as I walked with him.
Alex came up behind me and put his arm around my shoulder.
"He says that now." He said and smirked.
"I HEARD THAT GASKARTH!" Austin yelled.
I just laughed and got in the car. Tonight was gonna be fun.
~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>
"Sooouuuu are you hafin fuunnn!" Jack yelled over the loud music.
In the time of 3 hours of loud music and alcohol I have consumed a reasonable amount to make me slightly intoxicated. And Austin was piss drunk passed out on the couch.
"OOHHH EMMMM GEEE YASSS!" I hugged him and he hugged back. But I stumbled and we fell on the floor and he hovered above me laughing.
"I'm so drunk." I slurred.
"Jack?" I said.
"Hmmm?"
I started laughing and poking his cheeks. "You have squishy cheeks."
He laughed and pulled me up to go get another drink. "The party isn't ofer yet!"
~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>
I woke up the next morning and immediately shut my eyes. My head hurt like I had been whacked with a piece of wood and my eyes burned like they were on fire.
"Agh what happened last night." I heard someone say next to me.
I looked over and my eyes widened and I started tearing up. "Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god." I panicked.
"Oh...Erika I'm so sorry. We were so drunk. I'm so sorry." Jack panicked.
"I can't believe that happened! Did we even use protection!-" "it tends to leave my mind when I'm drunk so no." He interrupted.
"I'm only 18 Jack. This can't happen." I threw on clothes and ran out the door without an explanation to Austin and to the nearest pharmacy.
"Good morning how may I help you." I looked down. And played with my hands. "Can I umm have the morning after pill please." I whispered. She walked away to get it and came back. I grabbed it and put the money down on the table. "Thank you." I said and ran out. Well at least now I know that everything will be alright

~4 weeks later~
I don't know how long I've been crying but it was long enough for my eyes to be red for a while. It should've been fine. I shouldn't have been so reckless.
The only thing that I could manage to do was cry.
I couldn't stay here. So I went downstairs to talk to Austin.
"Erika? Why are you crying?!" He came up to me and hugged me.
"I have to leave. I have to leave I have to leave." I repeated over and over.
"Erika just calm down and tell me what happened."
"I can't believe this happened. I was so reckless. I don't know what I'm gonna do."
"Erika!!" I snapped my head up to him and started crying again.
"Spit it out!" He said firmly.
"I'm pregnant..."
"By who?" He whispered. It was a very tense silence
"Jack..."
(AN: There will be a sequel. I promise. That would be absolutely cruel if I left it like this. As crappy as my writing is I will continue writing this because I actually like writing this. It's called Her daughter and I hope you like or would want to read it.)
