It was the end of 12th grade. Jaime and Tony were already graduated. Ronnie and Skylar were as well. Austin,Alan,maddie and I were the only ones left at this hell hole. Today was the day we were graduating. I was so nervous because I was expected to a tattoo school in New York and I had to tell Jaime. I've told my parents but not my brothers...they've been busy with recording stuff. Yes they got signed and will be touring soon I think. So I've been dealing with a moody Vic lately. I sigh and curl the last piece of hair. grabbing my cap and gown I walk down stairs. My dress wasn't anything special it was navy blue with lavender and a dark ish pink roses. I had on my black wedges to give me a bit of hight.

" Oh iris you look so beautiful! " Mama says pinching my cheeks. I giggle and kiss her cheek. I see both my brothers standing there. Mike opens his arms and it walk into them. I was still shorter then him by a lot. He squeezes me a bit. I bend down and hug Vic. I was only a few inches taller then him.

" Our baby sister is growing up so fast!
Have you decided what you are going to do career wise?" Vic say wiping a fake tear. I fiddle with my hands. they want me to stay close to home or in California in general.

" Oh yeah... Mama we have to go now if we want seats! " I say changing the subject. she nods and we all head to the school. I see Maddie, Alan, and Austin. I walk over to them.

" Hey guys! Finally going to be out of hell! Oh by the way I think I'm having a party if you want to come!" I say. they nod.

" Wow you really wore a dress! " Alan says. I roll my eyes and stick out my tongue at him.

" So have you decide on what you want to do? " Maddie says changing the subject. I nod and fiddle with my hands.

" Yeah I did...and I'm not sure how to tell Jaime or my brothers..." I mutter. Maddie looked at me a sad expression. she knew what I had chosen. I had talked to her for about 3 hours about if I should stay in California, or go to New York for tattoo school. Maddie knew I wanted to go to New York for the longest time.

" Tell them what? " Austin asks wrapping his tattooed arm around Maddie. I bite my lip and pick at my nails.

" I want to go to tattoo school..." I say drifting off. Austin and Alan look at me with a happy look.

" That's a not bad going to tattoo school in cali right? " He says. My eyes start to water. I start to shake my head.

" But it's not... its in New York. it's a really really really good tattoo school. It's really hard to get into and they loved my work. I fly out In 12 weeks. " I say. They look at me.

" I'm not staying there for long just going to school and coming back here. this is my home... New York will never be home. " I say rubbing my arm.

" you have to tell Jaime... your brothers will be okay fine with it they will be able to get over it but you need to tell him today " Austin says.

" I know Austin that is the problem. how do I tell him I only have 12 weeks here. How do I know it won't back fire on me. How do I know he won't brake up me for leaving. " I say wiping away a few tears. Alan pulls me into his chest and rubs my back.

" Iris it's going to be okay...relax please." Alan squeezes me a bit. I pull away and wipe my tears away. I take a deep breath.

" come on we have to go sit down. " Maddie says. we all put on our caps and gowns. I loop my arm around Alan's arm while walking on the grass. Tattoo school man that is the job I had to pick right. I mean my parents were happy i found something to work for. Sure I have a few under age tattoos here and there. Yes I have underage tattoos...thanks to mike. mama doesn't know I don't think. but mine if I wanted a white collar job was covered.
