Above is Payton's outfit to the party

Payton's POV
Today was the day. The official day that my boyfriend would be done with his high school career and never be obligated to come back to where we first met. I was trying so hard not to cry. The idea of my mental stability source leaving me is tearing me apart. Do I feel like this because it is my first relationship? I feel so strongly about it and it terrifies me. I get out of bed weary, not wanting my life to change even though I wasn't even graduating. I took a shower and went downstairs to eat my breakfast. I needed to be ready by 10am because the French's were coming to pick me up. I then went back upstairs and took time to put on my dress and do my hair and makeup. Now that my hair was out of braids, I could wear it more differently. I wore it down with loose curls in it and carefully did makeup. I made sure my eyeliner was perfect and everything looked good. I grabbed my tan clutch I had to go with my dress. I put on perfume and some deodorant. I started chewing a piece of gum and went downstairs. I waited at my counter for a little bit and just thought. Thinking about it made me want to cry but I willed myself not to. I didn't want to ruin my makeup. Just then I got a text from Denise and Nicole saying that they were at my house. I went out through the garage and closed my garage. I went to the door and opened it and plopped into the car. "Hey Denise, Hey Dean, Hey Nicole" I said.
"Hi sweetheart how are you?" Denise asked. "I'm good but trying so hard not to cry. " I admitted. "Honey, don't you ever worry. Matthew loves you with all his heart. He told me earlier this morning. "Dean said. I smiled. "Thanks. That means a lot." I said. " Try not to think that he's leaving. Try and enjoy these last few days with him. It will make your life so much easier baby" Denise said. "Okay I will." I said. I sat in the car trying not to think of him while we rode up to the university where the senior graduation was being held. We arrived to the beautiful outdoor setting and sat down close to the front. His parents earned that spot in a raffle or something of the sort. Soon the ceremony began. Our principal gave his annual yearly senior speech, and then started handing out diplomas. One by one each student received their diploma. "Matthew French" he spoke into the microphone. Denise ,Dean, Nicole and I all jumped up and starting screaming and cheering. "Whoo go Matt!! " Denise shouted. I beamed as my baby walked across the stage. He looked so dashing. He was wearing Tan pants that fit him well. I couldn't see his shirt because of his grown but he looked dapper. I couldn't really see his hair because because of his cap but he styled the front of it to go with the cap. He shook our principals hand, and received his diploma, and flashed a smile in our direction. He walked back to his seat and sat and waited for all of the names to get called. Soon after he came back up to the podium and said a speech. "I think that high school was a very interesting experience, but like most people say, I have been able to explore myself deeper and try to figure out who I am. that's what college is for. I'm pretty sure that legend is the best highschool out there and I am so grateful for my wonderful parents for putting me in this school and really supporting me my entire childhood. Thank you mom and dad. Thank you to coach Reynolds for helping me pursue my athletic career. You are the reason I am the athlete I am today. Id also like to thank my sister Nicole, for helping me see that it wasn't always about me and pushing me to finish all of my homework." Everybody laughed. "But there is one more person I would like to thank. Now at the beginning of this year I didn't even know this person existed. But thanks to legend volleyball, I now cannot even imagine where I would be without her. I would like to thank Payton Marie Walker. Payton is my girlfriend. As cliche as this sounds, she has been practically my motivation to get through the rest of my senior year . Even though she's still a junior, She is the most genuine, kindhearted, loving person I will ever know. And I would like to thank you Payton for being such an amazing girlfriend, and being my light at the end of a dark tunnel. Thank you legend high school for bringing us together. I hope to make legend proud." He said with his voice somewhat shaky. all of us stood up with tears in our eyes. I had to let them fall, I was speechless. Soon the ceremony was over and Matt made his way over to us. Matt went over and hugged his mom for so long. She was crying. He hugged his dad next, in a big manly hug. Next was Nicole. He picked up his baby sister and lifted her off of the ground. She cried as she latched on to her big brother. Lastly it was me. He came over to me and I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist. I tried not to but tears fell from my face and onto his soft neck. He pulled away only slightly so he could look into my eyes. I caressed his face while in his arms. We were having an amazing conversation with only our eyes.He leaned in for a kiss. Our lips immediately melted into each other's while we kissed so lovingly. He pulled away only slightly to whisper "I love you so much Payton" I whispered against his lips "I love you even more Matthew". We softly kissed again and pulled away from each other. "That speech was amazing baby, thank you" I said. "Thank you for being my light" he said. We all walked to deans car and went out for lunch . We went to a super fancy steakhouse. We got out of the car to walk into the restaurant and Matt put his arm around my waist as we walked. He then looked me up and down. "Payton you look stunning" he said. "Thank you love, you look dashing yourself" I said. We walked into the steak house and were seated by a older male waiter. He pulled my chair out for me and I sat down and he sat next to me on my right. We ordered our food and waited and while we talked about the plans for the grad party later tonight. It was gonna be huge. everybody he knew was gonna be there. We ate our fancy lunch and then the dropped me off at my house. I told Matt I would see him later. I changed out of my dress and into some comfy clothes. I finished all of my homework and then after went to check on my bro."hey can are you gonna go to matts grad party?" I asked. "Yea it's gonna be awesome!! " he said. "Okay be ready at like 6:30 cause the party starts at 7. " I said. "Okay I'll be ready." He said. I went back my room and started packing for our trip to the Bahamas. But then 5:45 came around and I had to start getting ready. I took a quick shower and out on a white lace bra and a matching thong I got a while back. I put on some plain denim shorts and a white crop top and a pink crochet top to go over it. I just wore white vans with the outfit and called it a day. I did my usual light makeup look and just left my hair like I did this morning. I sprayed myself with perfume and then went to go get Cam. Once cam was ready, we went downstairs and I told Drew that Cam and I were leaving. They were having a date night. We got in my car and I drove us to matts house which was jam packed with cars all over the street and music pumping. His parents were genuinely kids at heart. We got out of my car and walked inside the house. It was packed with mostly seniors and people I didn't know. Sadly Tiffany shelling was there but Dean and Denise locked every door upstairs so people couldn't go up there and do normal party stuff. I walked through the crowd of people and went to the backyard where people were swimming and hottubing and some man was grilling up food. The dj stood on the patio step and the larger patio was basically the dance floor. People were dancing and just having a good time. "Be good. We are leaving at 12 ok?" I told Cam. "Okay sounds good, thanks pay for bringing me here" he said. He turned around and went to go talk to some girls who were seated inside the house. I wandered around for a bit, not knowing what to do, I didn't know the people here. Just then hands covered my eyes, and I felt scared and yet relieved at the same time. "Guess who?" His seductive voice whispered on my ear. My insides tingled as I turned around and kissed Matt on the nose. He looked fricking hot. He wore a blue button up with there buttons unbuttoned and it was so sexy. His hair was wild and crazy and that's exactly how I liked it. He smelled like his cologne and it was the most comforting smell in the world. I latched onto him as he mingled with his friends and he introduced me. I was kinda tired though. "Hey babe can I go lay down in your room I'm kinda tired" I asked him. "Aww yea of course , here's the key." He said. He pulled out his key from his pocket and I took it in my hands. He smiled and kissed my head lightly. "I love you" he said. "I love you too Matthew." I said. I went through the crowd of people and walked into the house. I saw my brother trying to get some seniors. I walked up the stairs and down the hall to the left and went into matts room. It always smelled like him and I just loved everything about his room. I loved his closet and his bed. They smelled the most like him. I took a little tour of the room again and I looked at his trophies and his pictures, mostly of his family and friends. There was one picture of me and it was a selfie I took on his phone. I smiled and went into his closet. I took a pair of his sweatpants, and a t shirt of his and put them on. I crawled into his bed and set an alarm to wake up at 11:45 so I could get ready again to go get Cam and then head home. I then fell asleep.
Matts POV
I keep constantly checking in my room to see if Payton's ok. It's almost 11:30 and I feel like I need to wake her up so she's not so groggy. I go upstairs into my room and find my girl fast asleep and so cute on my bed. She's curled up in a little ball. I turned my light on and gently sat on my bed. I leaned in to kiss her and try and wake her up. I placed my lips on hers and she didn't stir. I then started being annoying and kissing all over her face and neck. She began moving and was super whiny. "I'm so tired!" She whined, while still half asleep. She was wearing my clothing and I needed to help get her clothing back on. I took her shorts and pulled her legs out from under the blanket. I slowly pulled the sweatpants down and off of her body. Her radiant skin shone in my artificial light and she was wearing a sexy ass white thong that made her ass look huge. "I'm so cold" she said still half asleep. I pulled her shorts up her legs and then had to tug when they came up to her butt, she'd thick. She was more awake now. She sat up and I pulled the shirt off her body. She was wearing this super hot white lace bra. Her boobs looked so good. They were super full, and look bigger than the last time I saw them. I took her crop top and she raised her arms and I put the crop top on her. I put her little pink overtop on her and she was awake enough to put her vans on. "You awake lovebug?" I asked her. "Yes love" she said. She stood up and stretched and then hugged me. I leaned down and kissed her lips. " I gotta go bug" she said. "Okay I love you" I said. "Love you more" she said. I went downstairs with her and found cam who was flirting it up with the now graduated seniors and walked them to her car. She kissed my lips through her open window and then she drove off. I had a good rest of the party besides Tiffany stalking me the entire night and trying to make moves on me, me and cole had a serious dance battle and things got intense. Soon after the party was over and people were leaving. I was going to help my parents clean up tomorrow but I was exhausted. I went up to my room and took off my shorts and my shirt and put them back in my closet. I laid down in my bed where
Payton was sleeping and it smelled exactly like her soft sweet smell. I loved it. It lulled me to sleep right away.
