"Are you sure you've got everything honey?"

"Yes , ma." the youngest of the Matthews said for what he could've sworn was the tenth time in the same hour.

"Leave him be, Amy. He's grown!" Alan interfered before Amy had the chance to fuss about anything else that came to mind but of course, it didnt stop Maya's.

"Okay, but you have all your important papers, your cameras, your-"

"Guys!" It was Cory. "Youre drowning the kid with all the saliva you've spread on his hair and cheeks."

Both ladies blushed and stepped aside to give the brothers their moment.

"Nervous?" Cory smiled as he notices Josh struggling to understand what he was feeling. "Relax. Go momento by momento. Whats first?"

The Young matthews smirked looking down to the floor as he realized.

"I'm going to walk up, shake my professor's hand and shove that diploma in everyone's face." He smiled wide looking up at the proud family whom stared back at him with the same love and excitement.

There he stood wearing that maroon toga, finally taking his diploma in hand. He turns to the crowd and though his family was was numerous he, as always, spots the love of his life.

Yeah, blonde hair helped a bit considering the rest were dark haired but his eyes had the habit of looking for her no matter who stood in the room along with them. He lifts his diploma a bit in a way she understood was an "I did it." She smiles bright causing him to stare a bit longer then he should for his favorite profesor told him to just go kiss her and let the rest move on to the next part of their lifes.

The ceremony was lovely and though he enjoyed sneaking glances of his amazing girl he couldn't wait for the big party to come.

The music was beating loud but it wasn't loud enough to muffle his own thoughts. You see, graduation was just the first of many events today. And as everything, it would just get harder.

What was his second important step? You would think leaving to pursue his dream. Well, its not, but let me tell you that whatever is next will not dissapoint you.

"Hey! I thought you would be having fun!" Maya tried to make herself clear through the booming music. "Dont worry! Youre driving there, dont feel pressured." The blonde tried to comfort him without knowing what had him so uneasy.

"I am." He pulled his best yet embarrasing dance moves to convince her. She laughed histerically and joined.

They danced until one by one they left the building with their respective others or so it seemed. In reality they were all just preparing themselves for a pretty important event.

Soon, it was only him and Maya.

"You want to bounce? I know you've got a long drive." She broke the silence in a deep sadness. He was leaving that night and was not seeing him for a while.

"Not just yet, I have a surprise." He was shaking lightly but trying to hide it.

"Alright guys, everyone remembers what to do?" Riley said in boss mode. Everyone nodded.

"Farkle! Pictures?"

Farkle nodded knowing it was best to not scew things up.

"Smackle!"

Smackle immediately straightens up just like a soldier would.

"Lights?"

She nodded.

"Baby!"

"Sunshine." Lucas lifts up an eyebrow daring her.

"I love you." She smiles as she melts. "Music?"

"Got it."

"The rest of you know when to come in right? It has to be perfect."

"A surprise?"

"Well, yes and no. I mean, it was bound to happen but you never know exactly when and how…" Josh clered his throat and pictures filled the whole room instantly. Pictures of anything he could find: pictures of trips, concerts, dates, everything.

She starts walking arouns staring at each and every picture one bye one recalling eactly what they were doing in her mind. Josh slowly following at the rythmn of the slow love song.

Reaching to the chorus, everyone they knew stepped out of their hiding spots ready to sing along.

The moment came and he was beyond nervous. It wasnt enough to do it surrounded by each and every one of their friends and family members?

"Here I go." he thought.

Then it happened.

TAKE MY HAND….

He grabbed her hand from behind catching all her attention as this part of the song played.

TAKE MY WHOLE LIFE TOO….

He mouthed the words and slowly began to reach into is pocket.

FOR I CANT HELP….

Everyone sang in unison.

FALLING IN LOVE….

He got down on one knee.

WITH YOU….

She gasped.

TO BE CONTINUED…
