Chapter Sixteen "Graduation Part 2"

Theresa walked up the stairs of the Crane mansion and went to Fox's room. She knocked softly on the door before pushing it open.

Fox was sitting in his wheelchair at his desk reading over his speech. He had been chosen by his entire class to be the senior class speaker. He looked over at her when she closed the door behind her.

"Hey Foxy, you're looking pretty handsome in that gown," she said with a smile as she came over to sit by him.

He smiled back at her and then brushed his lips against hers. "Of course I do. Don't I look good in anything I wear?"

"Oh yes, you certainly do," she said rolling her eyes. "So, how does the speech look?" He hadn't let anyone, even Theresa, read his speech.

"I think it's as good as it's gonna get."

"I'm sure it's fantastic. Now, let's get going. You have to be at the school in a half hour and I know you're mom is gonna want to take pictures before you leave."

"Alright, alright, let's go." Because he was so nervous about graduation he let Theresa push him to the elevator. Before Fox came home from the hospital Julian had it installed into the mansion to make things easier for him. They rode downstairs and went into the living room.

Ivy, Julian, Ethan and his new girlfriend Gwen Hotchkiss and Fox's two sisters were sitting there waiting for them to come down. Ivy came over to them and hugged Fox.

"Good morning sweetheart. Are you ready for the big event?"

"As ready as I can be."

They were there for another fifteen minutes taking pictures. Finally Theresa and Fox headed out to her car. Fox had gotten another car a few weeks ago, but couldn't drive yet, so Theresa had done it all.

Theresa opened the passenger door and Fox pushed himself out of the wheelchair and into the car. She folded the chair up and placed it in the trunk. After climbing into the car she turned to Fox. "Ready?"

"Yes, I'm ready. How many times do I have to answer that question today?" he said with a smile.

"Sorry, I just know that you're nervous."

"I'm fine Resa. Now hurry before I'm late."

She pulled off the Crane Estate and headed towards the high school. When they arrived Fox saw that most of the senior class was already there. Theresa parked the car and got his wheelchair out of the trunk. He sat himself in it and Theresa gave him a kiss for good luck. He wheeled over to his classmates and she waited by her car for his family.

They pulled up next to Theresa and then they all went over to the football field where the ceremony was being held. They took their seats in the first row and talked amongst themselves as they waited.
