So I've decided this is the last chapter! I will upload an epilogue in the next few days, I'm also in the middle of planning a sequel. I'll probably post the first chapter in the next week or so!

Thank you to Glory (GStories) for helping me with the plot of this book and thanks for being an awesome best friend!

But most importantly thank you for all my fans and supporters, all your comments, votes, criticism has helped so much!!

So here is the last chapter of Did You Have To Be My Mate?

Enjoy! :)

Carmen’s POV

Graduation had finally come. Isabella and Maria had come over to get ready with me, I’d told them about Jake attacking me and they’d been shocked but they’d been more happy when I told them that Jay was coming back home soon.

“We told you, at least you won’t be all boring and depressed!” Isabella exclaimed, I ducked my head down in embarrassment,

“Was I that bad?” I said meekly, they both nodded,
“But we understand any of us would go mad if our mates were taken away from us.” As we walked downstairs I heard a familiar voice that I’d missed, I walked as quickly as I could into the living room. Mike, Alex and my mum were all sat down on the couch,
“Mum?” I ran up to her and hugged her fiercely she hugged me back with the same fierceness,

“I missed you.” My voice cracked a bit at the end, I’d been up all night tossing and turning wondering if she would come for my graduation or not. I pulled back from the hug to look at her, she had tears streaming down her face and an apologetic look in her eyes,

“I’m sorry I said those things to you, I was angry. Please forgive me.” I hugged her again,

“I forgive you, are you coming to my graduation?” I crossed my fingers hoping she’d say yes,

“Of course, I wouldn’t miss it for the world.” I wiped my damp eyes trying not to smudge the make up my friends had spent hours on,

“Let’s go people!” Alex shouted from the corner, I rolled my eyes at his outburst.

The school hall had been decorated with the school colours red and gold, there was a large banner that stretched across the length of the hall that said,

“Goodbye seniors!”

We took our seats at the front of the hall; I nervously watched the hall fill up with the friends and family of the graduates, my eyesight was trained to the back of the hall where the door was. I was waiting for Jay maybe he’d come back today. Soon enough the ceremony started our head teacher called out the list of names and then my turn came,

“Carmen Sanchez!” I stood up and walked across the stage, I could hear the shouts of Alex, Mike, mum, Isabella and Maria from behind me and couldn’t help but smile. I took my diploma and sat back down again.

The speeches came and went and then the cap throwing came, I’d officially finished high school! I said goodbyes to the people I knew I wouldn’t see for a long time and thank you to my teachers.

Mike’s POV

I left soon after the ceremony finished so I could get Carmen’s surprise ready. Alex and I had planned a small dinner and sleepover with her two friends, as soon as I opened the door I smelt his scent, I walked up the stairs and into the office,
