a new one. Everybody, I now give you this year's graduates."

There were a very boring and long speeches from the school administrations and the school's sponsors who nobody cares about. After all that, they were finally called one by one on the stage to receive their certificates.

"Chloe Celestia King."

Why does she have to call her by her full name? She went up the stage to get her diploma and shake hands with tons of people on stage. Her heart is racing with so much joy. Does that mean she's already graduate? Or she has to wait for the program to end? Either way, she doesn't care. She already passed that horrible and very stressful years of her life.

It's time for her to unwind.

Chloe went back to her seat and watch as each student walk on the stage. She smiled every time a friend of her is walking up the stage and receiving their diploma. It's making her heart smile that finally; it's not just her dreams are coming true but also of her friends.

"Caroline Reed."

She clapped her hands very loud when she heard her best friend's name. On the area were the guests are sitting, she saw Nate carrying a few weeks old Arianne. She's happy that her friend's newly found family.

Seeing Caroline happy, it makes her happy as well.

"Jesse Graham-Reed"

When she heard his name, her head quickly turned on the stage and saw her man receiving his diploma. She clapped loud, giving him all the support, she can give. He made it. He finally made it. And she is so proud of him.

Chloe saw Jesse went down the stage and went back to her seat. It is not that far from her seat so she's sure he can see her. He set his eyes on her and showed her his diploma so she showed him hers. His smile is so contagious that she can't help but smile as well.

The program went on for a couple while before they told them that it's over. Finally, she's free from this school. Chloe rushed towards where her friends are circled and hugged all of them.

It was the best thing she saw lately. "We're graduates!" She can't believe it. They all took a group photo, again courtesy of Shawn, and planned to print it out to display in the boarding house.

"Hey, Ginger. Congratulations." Jesse said as he wraps his arms around her.

She reciprocated his gesture "I can't you made it. I'm so happy for you." Chloe can't help but to give him a peck on his lips, not caring if there are people around them. The only thing that matters is them enjoying their time together.

A person behind her clears his throat that made her let go of Jesse.

"Mom, you're here. Oh, my God. How did you get here? Did you arrived in time.” Chloe hugged her mom tight. She's very lucky to have everyone she adores on her special day.

"Leona and Adam picked me up on my house earlier. They're here for you." Her mom pointed someone at her back and there they are. Her parents. She smiled and rush to them. Thank God they are safe. She doesn't know what to do last night when she left their house.

"Mother. Dad. Where have you been? I was in the house yesterday and you weren't there. I thought something bad happened to you two. You're not answering my call, where have you been?"

Chloe can't help but to tear up as she looked at her parents. "We went to see your mom yesterday and we spent some time together. And I apologized for everything I said to her. I know it was selfish of me to hide you from your real mom but I was so scared that you'll leave. And now it's happening."

"I will not leave. Yes, I'll move in to a new house, but I'll always visit, okay? Or you can visit me. We'll see each other. Always."

Her parents hugged her tight and she enjoys the warmth they give. She's got everything she needs. A new life waiting for her, a loving man who's always beside her, and two moms and a father who'll do anything for her.

It's everything she could've ask for.

"Thank you for being here. I thought you'll never come. Maybe we should grab a lunch. All four of us, what do you guys think?"

"Sure." her mother said.

"Okay, I'll see you later. I will just go meet my friends."

She smiled at her parents and went to see her friends. Everybody was present, including Caroline with Nate beside her and her little Arianne on her arms. Her eyes widen at the sight of Caroline's kid. She was so cute.

Chloe went closer to them and looked at Arianne closely. She looked exactly like her mother. The baby is making weird noises that made all of them laugh. It was a very precious moment, especially for Caroline to show off her child to everyone.

They all went out of the campus and head to the boarding house to change their clothes but she didn't bother since her parents are already waiting for her. She tug on Jesse's arm that made him face her.

"I'll go have lunch with my parents, you go to the boarding house. I will be back in a few hours. Celestine said their having some drinks on the living room, join them. Have fun." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and rushed to her parents' car where they are waiting for her.

Their drive to the restaurant was fast and they ate immediately. Her parents still as some errands to do while her mom wants to rest that is why their lunch was cut short. But she enjoyed it and that's what's important.

She had the best time of her life. Seeing both of her parents getting along and
