"I can't believe that we're officially going to be done with school in just a few hours." Jacob said.

"Well...high school." I added.

"Not for me." He said. "I'm not going to graduate from high school just to go to college and have to do more school, and have to pay for it! I think the whole idea of college is stupid."

I sighed. "I don't. I think it'll train you to do better in what you want your career to be." I looked over at him and gave a soft smile. "It'll help you in the future."

"You're not changing my mind." He replied with an eye roll.

"I'm not trying to change your mind, I just want you to think about it. Maybe look into it a little and realize that there are better ways to live than selling drugs."

"...so you're trying to change my mind." He said with a lift chuckle.

I sighed again but gave him a small smile. "No, just trying to introduce you to more options."

He gave me a smile back. "I know babe, and I'm very thankful. But I'm good with what I'm doing right now." He wrapped his arms around me and I wrapped mine around him.

I'm worried. In worried about his future. He can't just sell drugs forever. He's eventually going to get caught by the authorities and arrested.

And when I think about his future, I think about my future. I don't really know what I'm going to do. I haven't really put much thought into it,even though I should've thought about it more. I haven't even applied for any colleges.

Plus how would I even pay for college? My mom won't be able to pay tuition, and neither will I. She works as a nurse and always does overtime just to help pay rent.

Then thinking about that makes me think about...mine and Jacob's future...together.

Will we even have a future together?

I want to have a future with him, but I don't want to get married to a drug dealer. If he ever gets caught, won't I be arrested to for knowing that he was selling drugs? I mean, I'm not sure how the whole system and stuff works but I'm pretty sure that because I knew and I'll be married to him I'll get arrested.

I'm just worried about our future.

"Timothy!" Jacob shouted, causing me to come out of my thoughts and back down to earth. I looked over at him and he was looking at me with worry.

"Are you okay? I was calling your name for like two minutes."

I shook my head to dismiss his question. "Sorry, I was just thinking..."

He stared at me for a few seconds before speaking again. "About graduation?"

I looked at him for a moment. I want to talk to him but I don't think I should tell him. He probably wouldn't even take my advice, he's made that very clear before and not only about the drug selling. I shook my head again. "It was nothing."

He opened his mouth to talk again but was interrupted by my mom calling us. "Boys! Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah! We'll be right down!" I shouted back.

I got up off my bed and held my hand out for Jacob. He put his much larger hand in mine. I helped him stand up, which actually just almost ended up with me falling down, and then we went downstairs and to my moms car.

My mom really wanted to drive us to graduation because she wanted it to be our "special day". So I agreed and am very thankful that she wants to make this day as great as she can for the both of us.

.....

I walked off the stage after receiving my diploma and walked back to my seat with a huge smile on. I just couldn't believe that I was actually graduating.

I watched Jacob walk up, after they called his name, to receive his diploma. He actually looked happy, but it was probably just because he was graduating high school.

I was surprised that he was smiling, but the thing that surprised me the most was when he suddenly hugged Principal Johnson.

It wasn't until he pulled away and shook his hand before walking off the stage that I realized he put a 'kick my ass' sign on Principal Johnson's back. He walked off the stage and winked at me. I chuckled incredulously.

.....

"Say cheese!" My mom said as she took a picture of Kaitlyn and I. We both laughed and separated after hugging.

I then started to look around for Jacob. I hadn't seen him ever since he walked off the stage and I'm so curious as to where he could be.

I started pushing through the crowd of people before finally finding him leaning against the side of the school. He was looking around at everyone when his eyes finally landed on me. He smirked as I walked up to him.

"Hey babe." He said as he wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my forehead.

I smiled lightly before a thought struck my head. "Where's your family?" I asked as I started to look around. I haven't asked Jacob much about his family because he always seems to get tense when I talk about family. I was hoping that I would finally get to meet them today though.

He shrugged. "It doesn't matter." He said in a hushed, monotonous voice. He looked around one more time, a hopeful look in his eyes before it disappeared. He looked down at me and smiled.

I wanted to ask him about his family, and I think he could see that but I didn't push. If he wanted to tell me, he would. He opened his mouth to talk when my mom suddenly appears behind me.

"Boys! I want to take a picture of you!" She practically yelled in my ear.

I winced and covered my ear, while Jacob started laughing.

He pulled me into his side and smiled. I smiled too after rubbing the ringing sound from my ear for a few seconds.

"Perfect!" My mom sang.

Jacob and I chuckled as my mom went off to find Jesse & Carter to take pictures.

"I don't know my dad..." I heard Jacob mumble quietly from beside me. I looked over to him to see him staring at me. "And..." He choked as tears started to fill his eyes.

I grabbed his hand and pulled him off to the field next to the school, where no one would bother us. I sat down on the grass, pulling Jacob down with me.

"I'm sorry." Jacob said as he rubbed a few stray tears that snuck down his cheeks.

"It's ok." I said as I wrapped my arms around his abdomen. "Take your time."

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes before speaking again. "My dad left when I was two. I don't remember him at all. He's never tried to contact me or anything. When he left, my mom went crazy. She completely lost her mind. She started drinking and going out every night. Now it's like she's never sober. I even reminded her last night about my graduation..." He opened his eyes looking around. "But it looks like she forgot."

"I don't really know what to say except that I'm sorry your mom didn't show-"

"It's not my mom I'm upset about." He said quietly, cutting me off.

I gave him a confuses look. "Then who?" I asked.

He looked down and a tear fell down his face and into the grass. "My sister..."

"I didn't know you have a sister..." I mumbled in shock.

"She took care of me after my mom started drinking." He closed his eyes again. "She was thirteen when she started taking care of me. She stayed at home to take care of me until I was ten. Then she left. She left a note that said she would contact me. It's been eight years since I've seen her. I thought she would at least show up for my graduation." Tears were streaming down his face by the time he was finished talking.

I could feel the tears welling in my eyes but I wasn't going to let them fall. I had to stay strong for Jacob.

I pulled Jacob's head into my lap as more tears started to fall from his eyes. He laid down on the grass as I started to run my fingers through his hair. I bent down and kissed his forehead before wiping his tears away. "Shhhh..." I said as I started to run my fingers through his hair again.

People started loading in their cars and leaving. After an hour or so, everyone had left and Jacob had fallen asleep.

I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around to see my mom with a small smile on her face. "It's time to go, honey." She said to me.

I nodded my head. "We'll be there soon." I told her to which she nodded in understanding before walking away towards the car.

I bent down and kissed Jacob's forehead again. "Hey, we're leaving." I whispered in his ear as I started to shake him.

He stretched as his eyes started to flutter open. I giggled as he smiled at me lopsidedly. "Morning sleepyhead." I said to him as I ran my hands through his hair. "My moms ready to leave." I said to which he nodded his head.

"Okay." I stood up and reached my hand out to help him up, even though he actually almost pulled me down. He stood and stretched again as he yawned.

I smiled and took his hand as we walked to my moms car.

And as we walked I thought...

You know, he may get caught one day for drug dealing or whatever. But I want to be there when it happens. I love him.

"What are you thinking about?" Jacob interrupted me from my thoughts by asking.

I turned and smiled at him.

"You're my addiction."

.....

AHHHH!!! GUYS IM GOING TO CRY! THIS IS THE END!
