Did I say four chapters? Psh, I liiiieeeddd, I'm going to give you guys five chapters! Oh yeah! Unpredictable, I know, I know. On a serious note, this actually WILL be the last chapter right now since I'm currently working on the rest of this story, so the remaining chapters will have to wait. Please enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 21

So much has happened recently, just thinking back on the last two months makes my head spin. I finished my exams, gave out four college applications and got accepted to all four, but there was only one that I really wanted, and that was the University that Honey went to.

After that, I had to go dress shopping again to get a graduation dress for the ceremony along with get together a speech to make for the club's last get together. The club also had to hold auditions for three new members since Kyoya, Tamaki, and I were all leaving on top of apartment hunting for Honey and I since he wasn't going to be living in the dorms anymore and instead with me.

Honestly, it's baffling how I've been able to manage for this long, but all of the work that I've had for the past two months had all lead up to this point.

I walk into the music room and see everyone on the couches besides Kyoya and Tamaki who are standing beside a podium that was placed there. I make my way over, seeing Hikaru and Kaoru sitting next to Honey on the couch while Haruhi and Mori sat on the love seat.

I took my place beside Kyoya, seeing him look over his shoulder at me and I grin at him, "You going to miss me and these goofballs?"

He scoffs, "Miss you guys? More than anything, I think they should be thanking me for picking a student who's an aspiring accountant to watch over their budget," he says and I roll my eyes.

"Save the kind words for your speech, Kyoya," I say jokingly and he elbows my side.

Tamaki then claps his hands and takes the podium to make his speech first. He goes on about all of the wonderful times he's had at the club and how much he will miss all of us, but I think that twins caught onto that lie with all of the giggling they were doing. He wraps up the speech by saying that he hopes to come back to the club and see it thriving just as well, if not more, than it was when he was the leader of it.

Kyoya then took Tamaki's place and kept his speech simple.

"Well, as annoying as the club could be with it's completely and utter disregard for the money put into it, I enjoyed my time here and hope to see you all again,"

Everyone's jaw drops as we stare at Kyoya in disbelief. He looks around at all of us and raises his eyebrows, "What?" he asks.

"Kyoya-senpai, that was honestly the nicest thing that you've ever said to us," Haruhi says and I burst out laughing.

To save Kyoya from staying in the hot seat for too long, I switch places with him and pull out my sheet of paper that I wrote my speech on. It's all crumbled up and I can feel my hands shaking as I try to straighten out the creases in it that I made by folding it.

I clear my throat before looking to everyone and I start my speech, "Well, this is it. We'll be graduating this Friday and this is our last time that we'll be together like this until it is time for you guys to graduate,"

Haruhi and the twins look up at me fondly as I continue, "I'm not going to lie and say that I knew exactly what I wanted to say as my farewell because I didn't. I've written this speech about ten times and still feel like I don't have the perfect goodbye to give you guys." I pause to catch my breath because all of a sudden it's really hard for me to breathe.

I cough, hoping to relieve some of the tension I feel, but it doesn't work so I try to go on, "I just want to tell you guys thank you for everything. Not only have you changed my life, in both good and bad ways,"

Everyone gives a small laugh when I say that and I smile as I tighten my grip on my piece of paper, tears threatening to fall down my cheeks, but I promised myself that I wouldn't cry.

I will not cry, I will not cry. I can't, I can't cry, not right now.

"But all of you have made me the person that I am today and I can't thank you enough for that. Without this club, I never would have meet any of you, I never would have joined a club that would go on to become a second family for me, nor would I have ever done my hardest in school because seeing all of you and your dedication to the things that excite you and make you work hard made me want to do the same,"

Drip. Drip.

I smile as I think to myself, well, at least I tried.

"I love everyone in this club and hope that none of you forget all of the good times we shared and I hope to see you reach your dreams, whether you're going to be amazing fashion designers or Einstein's prodigy. So don't be scared to dream, and let yourself fail because it will teach you what you need to fix in order to succeed,"

I finally force myself to look back at them and say as a final word, "I want to come back next year and be able to say that those are my friends walking across that stage with the biggest smiles on their faces. They're going to make something big of themselves, and the only thing that will stop that is you, so don't keep yourself from being the happiest that you can be,"

Everyone rushes towards me and I laugh as we make a huddle with me in the middle. I wipe my tears away as I say, "I'm going to miss you,"

They awed and we all laugh at my silly break down, Honey pushing his way to the middle to kiss me all over my face in hopes of stopping the tears.

This was a lot harder than I thought that it would be, and it isn't even graduation day.

"We're going to need a lot of tissues on Friday," I say and we all laugh again as we hug each other.

A.N.

Ah, yes, so as you can tell, this story is finally coming to its' close. I'm down to the last few chapters of this story and I'm sure I won't finish it within two chapters, but I doubt it will exceed five. I just wanted to say thank you again for the people who were here from the very beginning and for giving me all of your love and thoughts on my story, it means the world to me.

This is my very first fan fiction and it won't be the last. I have another story that I plan on dropping after this one is done because I don't want to focus too much on one rather than the other.

So the next time I post, might be the last chapters you will be reading of this story, but I promise you that if you like this one a lot, you're going to LOVE the story after this one because I've been working on it for months, but want to finish this story first.

Well, I guess this will be a small goodbye for this story, but I'll probably come back and read it again when I'm done with the next story I'm working on.

Alright, this is the end of my note, again, thank you for the support and I will see you next time, bye!~
