Always Aaron

Chapter 59

"Ms. Bryce Weston." I walked up quickly my legs feeling like they were levitating as I took the scroll and walked down to my friends. We all stood in formation as everyone cheered us on.

We turn put tassels as Principle Simone speaks to us. "Our graduates." Everybody gets up as we throw our caps up and watch them rain down on us. I laugh as Aaron wraps his arms around me and kisses me swiftly.

"We did it!" Owen screams on top his lungs earning laughter from all of us. "We are free!"

"No more homework!" Jordan hoots and picks up a hat before throwing it off.

The principle laughs and claps for us. "You still have university." Ms. Lennon boos us but we could tell she was teary too.

Our parents swarm in and hug us. I embrace my mother tightly as she sons. "You are all grown up. My little girl just graduated high school. Do you know how proud I am? I'm mad proud." I sniff and wipes my eyes laughing as Jake hugs me.

"Congratulations Bryce." I was pulled out of his embrace and into Catherine's. She squeezes me so hard.

"Aww you are all tough woman now. Independent and all. How do you feel?"

"Amazing." I pull back and grin at her. She smiles and kisses my cheek.

"I already secured you your first job." My eyes widened as I wait for her to go on. "You are modelling
for me."

I shrike and jump up and down. "No way! You got the deal!"

"I got the deal!" She jumps as well and hugs me. I embrace her tighter. Catherine had been working her ass off trying to start her company. The bank had given her a loan but she still needed investors. And now it seemed she got that and a venture capitalist. I was so damn happy for her.

I pull back and turn to Louis who was holding her son. Noah flapped his fingers at me and gurgled. I coped at him and swooped him from her arms. "Hi, Noah." I gushed as he played with a strand from me hair. "Don't you look all fancy in that suit of yours?" He was wearing small suspender pants with a white shirt and a jacket. I could not help but laugh at the bombarding diapers that peeped from the back.

Louis grinned at us leaning against Miles who kissed her temple. I rocked Noah in my arms and went around introducing him to all my friends. I was definitely fighting for the cool aunt role.

He blubbered at Aaron who looked at the bay skeptically. "I think he wants you to hold him." I tell Aaron. He extends his arm and I settle Noah who holds onto my fingers whilst the corner of his mouth held drool.

"Here." Louis passed me a handkerchief and I wiped his spit away and tossed it to Louis who chuckled.

"Isn't he adorable? He's like a human teddy bear." I pressed his small button nose and he laughed gurgling somethings. Aaron smiled down as Noah gripped on to his shoulder.

"He is cute." Aaron confessed as I kissed his cheek. "He is also very, very tiny."

"He is a baby. What do you expect?" Noah continued to toy with my finger as my grandma came along.

"Getting prepped for one of your own." She announces as I rolled my eyes. My smile would have dropped but today and Noah was way to special.

Aaron did not say anything as Sersha gushed at the baby and cooed with him. Reuben seemed impressed by the baby's style too. "Let me hold my grandson. You all go have fun. Get yourself knocked up." She whispered the last part as she took Noah in her arms and walked away.

Aaron and I walked out towards the grass where music was playing and waiters were handing off appetizers.

"We finally did it." I beamed hugging his arm. "Years of school left to this. I'm still dumber as ever." Aaron laughed and twirled me.
