The next few days were a blur, I pretty much stayed home to finish off some work assignments and spoke to Alana all day long. We pretty much FaceTimed the whole way through our work hours.

It was now Saturday afternoon and Mason and I were getting ready for Isabella's graduation party. It was to be held at her family's house which Malcolm was very nervous to attend but I reassured him we'd be good and on our best behaviour.

"Are you ready?" Mason asked me. He came in wearing navy straight legged trousers and a white dress shirt and loafers. I smiled at his appearance as I took the last few things and placed them in my handbag. I was wearing a v neck mustard coloured knee length dress with black heels.

"You look handsome." I complimented him and kissed him.

"You look beautiful too." He smiled and took me in his arm. We walked down the stairs together and we made our way to Mason's car. I got in and strapped myself in then text Malcolm we were on our way. He had attended the ceremony and Isabella looked absolutely beautiful but only a few people were allowed inside hence why we were going to the party.

"How long till we get there?" I asked as Mason set off and I scrolled away on my phone.

"About an hour babe." He said and I nodded. I turned up the radio as we made our way through our neighbourhood and to the highway.

1 hour later

We pulled up to a beautiful estate where there were already balloon decoration outside. There were silver, gold and black balloons. We pulled further in and the house was massive with pillars and a brown door and a fountain stood in the middle with water squirting out of an angel.

"Oh Isabella comes from money." Mason smirked as he parked with the other rows of cars. There were Bentley's, Rolls Royce and Ferrari's lined up.

"And so do you." I laughed slightly.

"But this is old money Delilah. Look at the house." He said and I shrugged slightly. This life had been new to me. The designer clothes, the cars, the flights. I remember when I first came to the estate a lot of it confused me. I didn't understand why there were so many maids around and why we always flew First class.

Mason took my hand in his as we both exited the car and walked up to the entrance, there was a waiter there handing out drinks and we both took one. We walked further into the foyer where two spiral staircases lay and met each other at the middle. The floor was tiled black and white and we walked further into the house to the back where the garden lay. Music was blaring and there were friends, family and students milling around.

"Did she throw a party for herself or the whole student body?" I asked Mason and he just laughed. Soon we headed for the moving doors and walked out to see the garden party in full swing. The outside was equally beautifully decorated with balloons, lights and mini tables all around. There was a pool in the middle that had confetti inside and a table with a cake and gifts on it.

We caught Malcolm who was similarly dressed to Mason standing next to Isabella talking to a few friends at the front.

We walked over there all smiles, I hadn't seen Isabella since before Mexico and Malcolm since. "Lilah! I missed you so much." Isabella gleamed as she saw me and we hugged.

"I missed you too." I said to her and pulled her in. "You look gorgeous." I twirled her round in her sparkly purple dress. Her hair was straightened and in a middle parting. She looked absolutely stunning. "Congratulations!"

 "Congratulations!"
