~~Louis's POV~~

I hear my mum call for me as I'm finishing up getting ready. I check myself in the mirror one last time, I and think I look fantastic, and I rush downstairs to meet my family. When I get down there my mother, Jay, and all my sisters, Lottie, Fizz, and Daisy and Phoebe, are waiting for me by the door.

"You ready to graduate BooBear?" My mm asks, tears forming in her eyes. I chuckle a bit and walk towards her, enveloping her into a hug.

"Don't cry mum. At least not yet. We haven't even left the house." I say rubbing small circle in her back. I feel her laugh a little bit before pulling away.

"I know I'm trying not to. You are just growing up so fast. And in a few days you are leaving for London and I just-" she says before being cut off by her own tears. She reaches in her purse and pulls out a tissue to dab away her few fallen tears, "I just am going to miss you Boo!" She finishes.

"I'm going to miss you too mum. So much! But we still have a few days together so let's just enjoy them, yeah?" I say hugging her again. She nods her head on my shoulder and sighs.

"C'mon you guys, get in the car. We can't be late for graduation," she says opening the front door. We all rush out the door and pile into van. Once our seat belts are all buckled, mum pulls out of the drive and heads towards the school.

'Here we go! Graduation time!' I think to myself as I stare out the window at the passing scenery.

~~~One hour later~~~

We are all lined up in our order. Or course Harry is right in front of me, well he should be but right now he is turned around and we are locked in a really tight, really close hug. Our foreheads are pressed together and our noses are touching.

"You ready Boo?" He asks pecking my lips before waiting for my response. I nod my head slightly and smile.

"More than ready. I can't wait to get out of here and start our life together. It's going to be absolutely perfect," I say brushing our lips together in a soft, short kiss.

"Good," he says in agreement, "because I can't wait either. In just three days it will be you and me against London." We get entangled in another kiss, a rather passionate, steamy one at that, before a teacher yells at us to get in order.

I sigh in disappointment before breaking away. Harry chuckles and gives me one last peck before turning around.

I realise that people are already being called on the stage. Eleanor and Niall are already standing on the opposite side with the others.

The line slowly drags on as the principal calls a name, they walk across and get their diploma, their families or whoever takes a bajillion photos, and then they walk over and stand with the other graduates. I long and boring process. I only perk up when I hear Zayn's name called. I whoop and holler as he crosses the stage, looking back at me and shaking his head. I giggle slightly and quiet back down.

I repeat the process when Liam is called and then wait patiently as my time gets closer.

"Mary Stillman!" The principal booms into the microphone, and the girl in front of Harry walks onto the stage. I think I know her. We've probably had loads of classes together over the years, but I just don't remember.

I wrap my arms around Harry's waist and go on my tippy-toes so my mouth is beside his ear, "you're up next babe," I say ever-so-softly, sending shivers down his back. He turns his head slightly and stares into my eyes.

"Yep I am! I'll meet you on the other side?" He says, making it sound more like a question. I nod my head almost immediately.

"Absolutely. See you in a bit," I say right before his name echoes through the huge gymnasium. I slap his bum rather hard, sending him almost running onto stage. He turns around and stares at me blushing like mad. Laughing, I blow him a kiss that he gladly catches and sends one back to me.
