I only own my OC's and plot.
I woke up to music blasting and everyone downstairs except for me. I get up with a smile on my face and throw Scott's sweatshirt on that he left for me. I open my door, only to have Brian there waiting for me. I didn't want to be rude anymore, but I also did't want him involved. I think I'm more upset with myself for being so rude to him, but in my defense, he deliberately ignored my wishes to stay out of it.
"Hey." I say quietly.
"Hi." Brian said back.
"I'm sorry, Brian." I say.
"I know you are. I know you don't want me hurt, but Ash, I know what I'm doing. I'm not letting you or any of my other friends fight this alone." Brian said.
"I just have a gut feeling that something is going to happen to you, Brian." I say, trying to hold back tears.
"Ahh don't worry. I'll be fine. I promise." Brian said, looking at me.
"Okay, okay." I say, starting to give in.
"It's graduation day! LET"S DO THIS!" Brian said, smiling and putting his arm around me. I hug him and we head downstairs to meet up with everyone else.
"I can't believe you're graduating today!" My mom said, looking at me so proudly.
"Thanks mom." I say, hugging her.
"We're proud of you too, Brian." My dad said.
"Thank you. For taking me in and helping me. I'm really thankful for that." Brian said. I was shocked that he was being so...nice. My parents and Brian never really got along so when I told them about his parents, I figured they'd feel so bad that they'd have to help him, considering all the begging I did. I thought that if he moved in, that maybe they'd get along, and I was right for about half the time.
"We'll see you kids later." My mom said as they walked out the front door.
"What do we do until tonight?" Aly asked.
"I think we should all go home and spend some time with our families before our big night. Anyone agree?" Derek said.
"I think that's pretty fair." Stiles said.
"Okay. Let's have some breakfast and then everyone can head home for a few hours." I say.
"I'll help make breakfast." Ariel said.
"Me too." Aly said.
"Alright." I say. All 3 of us head into the kitchen. The guys sat around and talked while we made scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes, hashbrowns, and sausage.
"I'm so excited for tonight!" I say.
"Me too! I can't believe we're graduating." Aly said.
"I know, right. Can we make a promise right here, right now?" Ariel said.
"Sure." I say.
"We need to promise to stay friends, even after high school. No matter what happens, friends forever." Ariel said.
"Absolutely! Nothing can come between us. Ever." Aly said.
"I love you guys." I say, happy but sad that everyone was going away for college starting next fall.
"Love you girls too." Ariel said.
"Let's tell the guys that breakfast is ready." I say, heading for the living room.
"Breakfast is ready." Ariel said. The guys all came in like football players after a game. They were starving! Ariel, Aly, and myself sat back, watched, and waited. We started getting out food when the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." I say, heading for the door.
"Hey." Allison said.
"Hi. Come on in. Just in time for breakfast." I say.
Good morning." Lydia said.
"Good morning." I say back to her. I take them to the kitchen and they laugh at the mess.
"What happened here?" Allison said.
"The guys." Ariel said, laughing.
"That was crazy!" I say, laughing.
"They're guys. What'd you expect?" Ariel said.
"True." Allison said. We get our food and start talking.
"We were just talking about how crazy it is that we're graduating." Ariel said.
"It is pretty crazy." Lydia said.
"Have you finished with the silver arrows yet?" I ask, curious.
"I have. I stayed up all night to do it." Allison said, smiling.
"Thank you, Allison." I say, very sincere. She smiles at me and it breaks the awkwardness. We continue to eat and then we start to clean up.
