Today is the day! It's Bella's graduation day. Honestly, I don't know how she did it, with how much she was absent last year and was MIA for half of her last semester. But she did it, and I am so proud of her. Jasper and I are sitting in the middle of the row, the Cullens to his left, and my family to my right. As Bella and Edward cross the stage, I jump up and down like a mad-woman, cheering loudly.

"I thought you only screamed like this for me," Jasper whispers in my ear. My face gets hot quickly, and I turn and stare at him wide-eyed. He gives me one of his infamous smirks.

"J-Jasper!" I whisper back, playfully rolling my eyes at him, and go back to cheering for my sister. I hear someone else cheering too, and when I turn around and look, it's Lyvia. I smile at her and she smiles brightly back.

Alice and Lyvia finally got to sit down and talk. Like me, she made Alice earn back every ounce of trust. Alice did everything she could and finally got her girl back. We have been going on double dates together, and Lyvia seems happy and content with her life with Alice. When she and I talk alone, Alice throws around the word "mate" when talking about Lyvia. This is huge. I realized that Lyvia is going to be in my life forever, however long that is.

"And this is your graduating class!" The principal announces when the last person walks off stage. The graduates throw their caps in the air and hug each other.

The Cullens and my family make it to the back of the auditorium and wait for Bella and Edward. Once they find us, Bella runs over and hugs our parents. My mom, of course, starts crying, telling Bella how proud of her she is. Bella looks over at me and we both playfully roll our eyes, acknowledging our mother being dramatic as always.

"I'm so proud of you, Bella," I say, grabbing and hugging her once she makes it to me.

"Thank you, Netta."

"I love you."

"I love you, too." She actually has tears in her eyes.

"Glad to know I can still make you cry." I tease.

"Me? Showing emotion? Never. It's all the dust that is in the air right now." She teases back. We laugh and she walks over to the Cullens, giving them all hugs too.

I turn and look at my father. "I'll come by the house tomorrow to get the rest of my things." I officially moved into the cottage with Jasper. It was a shock to my father and Anna, but they both understand. It also helps that Dad likes Jasper more than Edward, something Jasper never lets Edward forget.

"Alright, sweetheart." My dad says, hugging me and kissing the top of my head. I miss living with him and Anna, but I'm glad to move on with my life.

Jasper grabs my hand, and we walk out of the auditorium. Once we get in the car, we take off back to the cottage to get ready to help get the house ready for Bella's graduation party.

"What am I going to wear?" I ask, staring at my closet. So many options, so many decisions.

"Whatever you choose will be beautiful," Jasper says, lying on the bed watching me.

"Thank you, but that is not helpful." I playfully roll my eyes.

"I know what will get your creative juices flowing." He says, smirking.

"We definitely do not have the time."

"Oh, darling, yes we do." He whispers in my ear, instantly behind me.
