Harry’s POV

All you have to do is remember to breathe. Yup. That’s it. Breathe in and out. In and out. In and…

“Harry!” My mother yelling makes me jump.

“Jesus Christ…” I mumble running my fingers through my hair. “Yes?”

“You need to leave soon so you can make it to the school on time.”

“Ok.” I speak annoyed.

I rub my face and hear my mother walk into my room. I sigh and she rubs my shoulders. My body goes lax and my mom chuckled.

“How are you feeling?” Her voice is soft and I open my eyes, looking at her through the mirror.

“Worse than I look.”

“You look fine.” She laughs and brushes off my shoulders, before turning me to face her.

“Yeah?”

“Yes. You look very handsome my little valedictorian.” My mom coos and I grin shaking my head.

“Yeah, yeah. Even though I’m taller than you.” I laugh and my mother hits my chest.

“You will do just fine.” She smiles and gives me a hug.

“Thanks mom.”

“Now you do have to go. You especially have to be a little early.”

“Ok.”

“We will  see you later.” She gives my cheek a peck before walking out my room.

I look at myself one more time, trying my hardest not to psych myself out. I got this. I was made for this. This is why I worked so hard in school. I smile to myself and grab my cap and gown from my bed. I readjust my tie, before walking out my room.

I give my parents a hug and walk to my car. When I get to the school there are not a lot of people here. Just a few early birds like myself. I get out my car and walk toward the field. I get my phone out to call Layla, but before I can, someone is placing their hand in mine. I look up and see her.

“Hey, I was just about to call you.” I grin and she smiles, kissing my lips.

“Well now you don’t have to.”

“Why are you here so early?” I question and she shrugs.

“I don’t know... thought I’d be here to like help you, incase you were nervous and all that other stuff.”

“Thanks.” I smile and wrap her in a hug.

“You will do amazing Harry. I know you will.”

And amazing I did. My speech went well and graduation passed by quickly. The next thing I knew everyone was throwing their caps in the air and the stands erupted with loud screams and claps. I get grabbed by a few of my classmates and we all jump around. We are all graduates, and that’s such an amazing feeling. I feel someone hop on my back and I laugh, holding onto her legs.

“We did it!” Layla cheers and I grin, nodding my head.

“Yes we did! I’m so proud of you.” I smile, and she gives me a kiss.

“I’m proud of you too babe.”

“You really don’t have to be nervous.” Layla speaks and I shake my head.

“Speak for yourself. You’ve done this before.”

“It’s just an hour flight, Harry.” Layla responds, sitting down.

“Yeah… No. You’re right. Just an hour.” I sit down next to her, and she takes my hand in hers.

“Don’t worry babe. It’s not like the plane is going to do a loopty loop in the air.” She laughs, but I can feel the color drain from my face.

“Ye-Yeah. No loopty loops.”

“Well I think this is the one.” I grin and Layla nods, looking around the livingroom.

“It’s nice…”

“And in our budget. And it’s not far from either of our schools.” I counter and she looks at me.

“Well then, let’s sign the papers!” She laughs and I hug her, tight.

“An apartment.” I sigh.

“Our apartment.”
