57. Slow Down (Lucy's POV, adjacent to Chapter 1, Keeping in Line, right after Tie)

I was walking across the stage, a million thoughts in my head, but mostly, I wanted everything to slow down. How was I already graduating high school? When did my life speed up? While I was definitely looking forward to going to college in a few months, I also just wanted everything to slow the hell down.

Glancing into the crowd, I saw Bronwyn's tell tale red hair, and hoped I had done right by her. Sure, I could be a bit, um, overwhelming, but since life wasn't slowing down, I took some confidence knowing she was my drum line legacy.

AN: Just started a new job, so I might be a little slower updating.
