Owens graduation :)

AMELIAS POV
I was standing in front of Owen tying his tie for tonight. Tonight was graduation. I was so unbelievably proud of him.
"There you go," I smiled as him and looked in the mirror.
"Thank you," he said and kissed my cheek.
"You're welcome," I said, "and I am so proud of you."
"Thank you," he smiled. I placed a soft kiss on his lips and he smiled.
"I can't believe it's finally here," He said.
"Crazy right?" I chuckled, "Little Owen is growing up."
"Crazy," he chuckled. I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Alright we have to entertain my mom with graduation pictures for at least a half an hour," he laughed.
"Well how could she not take pictures of you when you look so cute?" I said.
"Shut up," he chuckled.
"Owen!" His mom called, "are you two almost ready?"
"We'll be down in a minute!" He called.
"Let's go," I said and pecked his lips. We got downstairs and our parents took a bunch of pictures of us and then a bunch with Owen in his cap and gown and everything. He was so cute. I snapped a quick photo of him and I smiled. He was adorable.
"Okay Owen when do you need to be there?" Evelyn asked.
"4," Owen said, it was now 3:30, "I should leave in a few minutes." The door opened and it was Megan.
"Nice of you to join us," Evelyn joked.
"I'm sorry, Nathan drives slow," Megan chuckled.
"Yeah okay," Owen chuckled.
"Can you go take pictures with your brother please?" Evelyn said. I turned to my mom and she smiled.
"Exciting isn't it?" My mom said.
"Yeah," I smiled, I couldn't contain how proud I was of him.
OWENS POV
It was finally happening. I was graduating high school. I was next. I looked into the crowd and saw Megan, my mom, Carolyn, and Amelia. Amelia gave me a little thumbs up and I smiled. I love her so much.
"Owen Hunt," my principal said. I walked across the stage and grabbed my diploma and shook the administration's hands. I walked off and switched my tassel. I couldn't believe it was finally here.

Graduation was over and we could finally see our families. I walked into the hallway and I made eye contact with Amelia. She smiled and waved. I waved back as I walked over to them.
"Oh I'm so proud of you!" My mom smiled and hugged me, "we need a picture of you and your diploma!"
"Okay okay," I chuckled.
"Is this real? I don't believe you," Megan joked and looked at my diploma.
"Can you cut it out," I chuckled.
"I'm kidding, I'm proud of you," Megan said.
"Congratulations," Carolyn smiled.
"Congrats Owen," Amelia smiled and kissed my cheek, "I'm so incredibly proud of you."
"Thank you," I smiled and kissed her. My mom took a million pictures after and then the 5 of us were going out to dinner. I was walking in the parking lot and I grabbed Amelias hand. She smiled and I kissed her temple.
"Amelia," her mom said.
"Yeah?" Amelia said.
"Are you driving with Owen?" Her mom said.
"Yeah," Amelia said.
"Okay, we'll meet you there," Carolyn said.
"Okay, sounds good," Amelia said as we got in my car.
"So I have something for you," Amelia said and handed me an envelope and a perfectly wrapped box.
"Thank you," I said and opened the card.

Dear Owen,
                         I don't think words can contain how incredibly proud I am of you. You did it! Congratulations! You make me so proud of you everyday, and I am so thankful to be able to call you my boyfriend. I can't wait to see what amazing things you're going to do at Harvard, I know you're going to make me so proud. I can't express how unbelievably proud I am of you, and congratulations once again. I love you, you're the love of my life, and I can't wait for the next chapter of our relationship, because I know we can do it, together.

                    Much love,
                                            Amelia xoxo

I looked at her and I could feel tears forming in my eyes.
"Are you crying?" She said shocked, "did I make you cry?"
"Shut up," I chuckled.
"Oh my god I did," she chuckled and kissed my cheek.
"Okay okay, you made me tear up alright? Is that what you want to hear?" I chuckled.
"Yes," she chuckled. I leaned over and kissed her passionately.
"Okay open the box," She said. I unwrapped the box and opened it and it was a mini flip book keychain. I opened the little book and it was filled with a bunch of photos of us.
"Aw," I smiled, "oh my gosh it's perfect."
"And you can always keep it with you on your keys, even when you go off to college," she smiled.
"It's perfect, thank you Amelia," I said, "I love you."
"You're welcome, and I love you too," she smiled.
