Today was Lennon's graduation day. She'd accepted the job. She was moving to New York City in two weeks. Her apartment was being paid for by the law firm. Randy was trying to find a roommate. Lennon and Randy were at home. Lennon came out wearing her cap and gown.
"You look cute." Randy said.
"Thank you." "I can't believe I'm graduating today."
"I know." He said going up to her. "It seems like just yesterday I was moving in here to be the roommate a college freshman." He kissed her. There was a knock at the door. "I'll get it." Randy answered the door. It was John. "What's up?"
"Not much." He went in. "Congratulations." He said hugging Lennon.
"Thank you." Lennon said.
After graduation they all went to a bar. They were playing darts.
"Randy are you still looking for a roommate?" John asked.
"Yeah." "No such luck."
"I'll be you're roommate."
"Did something happen with you and Liz?"
"We broke up last month."
"Last month?" Lennon and Randy said at the same time.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Lennon said.
"It wasn't worth mentioning." John said.
"Where have you been staying?" Randy asked.
"A hotel."
"A hotel?" "Why stay at a hotel when you know you could've stayed with us?"
"I don't know." "So, do we have a deal?"
"Deal."
"You're moving in two weeks early." Lennon said.
"No, I'm sure you two want to be alone." John said.
"You're moving in and that's all there is to it."
"Yes ma'am."
Two weeks later Lennon and Randy were at the airport. Her flight had just gotten called. They hugged. She started to cry.
"Aw baby, it's ok." Randy said. "I'm really proud of you." "You're gonna do great things in New York." "I'll see you in July, then August for our anniversary."
"I'm gonna miss you."
"I'll miss you to." They kissed. "I love you."
"I love you too." "Bye."
"Bye." As Randy watched her walk away. He got tears in his eyes. He wanted to stop her and tell her not to go with everything in him but he knew it had to be this way.
