K so errmm... about the little..not updating for a month thing... oops.. It's been the summer! Then school. AND ITS REALLY BUSY! It's a really important year for me, I really need to make sure my grades are GOOD! Also, I really don't know where to go with this story..like I'm just not feeling it anymore! So, it's sad to say, but this is the final chapter of One Life. I'm going to have a new story up soon..once I think of one. I sorta have an idea, but I don't know yet. So yeah anyways, here is the last chapter!
I sigh, adjusting my cap. It just wouldn't stay straight!
There is a knock at my door, and I finally put my arms down with a huff. I guess it would always stay at a 179 degree angle, instead of a perfect 180. "Come in!"
My mom enters the room, smiling. "Oh honey! You look beautiful"
She takes me in her arms, and I almost shed a tear.
"Thanks mom!" I reply to her
"Well, we should get going. We don't want to be late."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When we get there everybody is standing in front of the school,
"Massie Block." Our principle says. I put on my winning smile, and walk up the stairs, ready to get my diploma.
I shake hands with her, grabbing my diploma, and walk across the stage, stopping in the middle. I smile, and my mom rushes down to get a picture. Then I finish walking across the stage.
My mom hugs me, and I sit down with the rest of my class.
"It is my great honor to give you, the graduating class of 2014!" When we hear those words, we all throw off our hats, laughing, smiling and hugging one and other.
My hand grabs Derek's as we walk beside each other outside to see our parents and everything.
"So, you're off too Washington." I say, looking up at him.
He sighs, "Yup. And you too California."
I stop dead in my tracks, and pull him in for a hug, not letting go.
Tears enter my eyes, threatening to ruin my makeup. I quickly blink them away, and when he lets me go, he pulls me in for a short and sweet kiss. "We'll still see each other. I promise."
When we reach our parents, they hug me, and Derek's parents congratulate him.
Time passes, and soon we are sitting in a restaurant for dinner.
"So Massie, you're heading off to California?" Derek's mom asks me, smiling.
"Yes. I will be studying fashion" I say beaming.
"We're so proud of Massie!" My mom says, "They usually don't accept kids straight out of high school!"
"Really! Wow!" Derek's dad says.
"So what about you, Derek?" My dad asks.
"Oh, I will be heading to Washington for soccer."
"Wow, that's great! You must be so proud!" My mom says turning to Derek's parents.
"Yes, very." His dad replies.
"So uhm, Massie, I have something for you." Derek says, turning towards me.
I smile, and get butterflies in my stomach. "Really!? Awwe you didn't have too!"
Derek stands up, and jams a hand in his pocket, pulling out a small black box. He gets down on one knee, and my jaw drops open.
"Oh my god."
"Massie Block, you've made me the happiest man in the world. I can't bare leaving you. Will you marry me?"
I'm speechless. "Oh my lord. Derek, of course I will!" I say, shooting up. He smiles, and takes my hand, slipping the ring on my hand. I stick out my hand, looking at it. It's amazing. It has a sterling silver band, and half a karat diamond on it. I smile, and he pulls me in for a kiss.
Our families clap, and everyone around us claps. When we finally pull away, I look at my dad, and he's smiling.
We sit back down, and our hand's don't leave each others.
I can't stop smiling, I was so happy. Graduated from high school. Engaged. Going off to university. Today was amazing.
