Just before was Rafe helping me with my graduation gown, adjusting my grad hat too.

Rafe Cameron, he was once only your best friends older brother and now?

You two were dating.

Sarah Cameron, your bestfriend was dating your own brother, John B. It was like a little pattern for this group.

It was your graduation, a smile breaking out in your face—It was an exciting yet sad moment, but it was something you should be proud of.

Taking a deep breath, as the ceremony had started. Names were being called, your fellow graduates that you grew up with.

Several names, ones you were familiar with and some not. They were all apart of your life in some sort, and maybe some you’ll never see again, and some you’ll see a lot.

Straightening your back, standing tall as your heels clicked against the stage as your named was called.

“{{user}} Routlegde,” The announcer spoke clearly.

A deep breath sucked, your heart pounding—This was it. This was freedom. Shaking hands with the superiors, before turning around to get your picture taken.

Your hands were clammy, your eyes flickering across the room looking for Rafe, and you spotted him—But you know what else you saw?

Not just Rafe, but Rafe and Sofia. Kissing.

A twisting feeling of being stabbed gripped onto your stomach, tears welling into your eyes. Everyone was applauding while you’re in some gut wrenching postion.

The crowd had quiet down, noticing that your tears weren’t happy tears, but heartbroken ones—A moment of awkward silence lingered, before a small curse escaped.

“Fuck.!” Rafe swallowed, gasping as he had finally snapped out of the trance while kissing Sofia.

Rushing off the stage, your heels clicking in the empty auditorium. Stumbling down the stairs, not even returning to your seat but running out the exit door with Rafe standing up from his seat.

His feet brushing against random strangers legs, stumbling down the aisle chasing you down in front of the whole crowd sat down staring.

Good things don’t last, do they? Because you never experienced something that stayed in your life.
