It's been a week and a half and everyone is at Addison's graduation party. You'd skipped graduation, but got your diploma in the mail and were officially done with high school. You'd applied to UCLA and UNC because you were keeping your options open, but you weren't sure you'd be able to leave your family and friends as easily as Noah had. Noah is supposed to be back sometime today after having aced his finals. You kept checking your phone, but hadn't heard anything yet from him or his mom who was picking him up at the airport.
Blake and Indiana sit across from you at the party and are more in love than ever. You were so happy for them but Indiana noticed tears in your eyes and asked you if you were ok: "Yeah just my back has really been hurting all day. Being pregnant sucks"
She and Blake can't stop talking about this cross country road trip they planned to take together. They leave in a few weeks because she wanted to make sure she was in town for the baby that was due at the end of the month.

Indiana: *to Addison* "I wish you and Bryce would have agreed to travel with us. It would have been so fun."
Bryce: "We've actually been saving all of our money for a different plan."
Blake: "Oh where are you two going?"
Addison sat in Bryce's lap and laughed asking if he wanted to tell everyone.

Bryce: "We actually are moving in together. We saved up enough to put deposits down and buy furniture and we are going to live in an apartment near UCLA."
Everyone jumps up and hugs each other, but you smile and walk over towards a more comfortable chair. You're really starting to get to the uncomfortable part of pregnancy where you can't sit in the same position too long or your stomach hurts. Nick walks over to where you are and brings you a bottle of water: "You good?"
You: "Yeah I'm fine. Just not feeling the best today."
Nick: "Well you are pregnant so it's expected right?"

You both share a laugh and he looks over at Dixie with a smile. They were joined at the hip since prom and you were honestly so glad with how that worked out.
Nick: "Thanks by the way for pushing me to give that a chance. She's literally the best. Are you sure it's not weird that I ended up dating your best friend after everything we've been through"
You: "We were never meant to be. I know that. We spent a really awesome summer being friends at a time when I was struggling with depression and really needed you. It was amazing and I'm grateful, but I'm just really glad it stayed just friends."
Nick: "Well except for the dumb choice to try to kiss you a few months ago."
You: *laughing* "Yeah other than that."
Nick: "Everything worked out for all of us exactly how it was supposed to. Dixie and I are both actually going to Berkley, only a few hour drive from UCLA. Everyone is happy and doing really big things with their life."
