Alexandra Rose

Epilogue

Alexandra's POV

Time flies by fast. Because I still remember how months ago, I was in bed with the boy I love. It felt like yesterday but months later, the both of us are standing with our own family, wearing a graduation gown and holding bouquets of flowers in hand.

"Smile for the camera!" mom pulls out her phone, propping her glasses on her nose with the brightest smile she had ever smiled.

"Mom, you've taken dozens of pictures already." Ares whines, dropping his smile and replacing it with a frown. He's still such a child. Sometimes I doubt that he's the older one between the two of us.

"You only graduate once, Ares. Let your mom capture the moment." dad chimes in, wrapping one arm around my shoulder and pulling me to his side, "They were right when they said the smarter one never complains." he joked.

I stifle my laughter at the look on Ares' face, but Evan fails as he laughs loudly, catching the eyes of other graduating students.

"I told you only one twin can be smart." I grin at my brother, ignoring his scowl as I walk over to my eldest brother and engulf him in a hug, "Don't be so sad, Elly. I'm just graduating high school."

"I'm not sad. I'm happy you graduated hell." he mumbled, but I can sense the sadness in his voice. I guess he's upset that I'll be away for college soon.

"Here comes your nasty boyfriend." Ares gags when his eyes land on Everett.

Everett walks over with his family, a big grin on his face as he pulls me to his arms and wraps them around me, leaving a kiss on my forehead, "We graduated." he says.

"We did." I giggle when he moves our body side to side, nuzzling his face in the crook of my neck.

"Can you two stop being a couple for a second?" Seb suddenly makes an appearance, scowling with a playful glint in his eyes. Nolan stands next to him, smiling softly at the two of us.

"Well, you survived high school love. Congratulations, pumpkin."

Taking Everett's hand in mine, I smile at that. Who would've thought I would fall in love in high school?

"Could've avoided that when I told him to stay away from my sister." Ares mumbled.

Rolling my eyes, I cheekily smile at him, "At least one of us isn't lonely."

"Alexandra, I'm going to hide all your damn chocolates if you utter a single word." he threatens.

I shrug at that, "That's okay, my boyfriend will buy me more. Right, pretty boy?"

"Damn right I will." Everett rests his chin above my head and wraps his arms around my shoulder from my back as I look up at Ares innocently. He hates it when Everett and I are too close, which explains the disgusted look on his face.

Ignoring my brothers, I turn towards Cassie who was in a conversation with mom. I walked over to the two where Cassie quickly engulfed me in a bone crushing hug that left me laughing. "Congratulations, sweetie."

"Thank you." I laugh, releasing myself from the hug and bending down to Caden who was showing off his missing teeth, "You look so handsome, cutie!" I pinch his cheeks, eliciting little giggles from him.

"I dressed up for you!" he says.

I beam at that. But the huge-muscular high school graduate that stood beside me frowned at his little brother, "Be careful what you say, Caden." he scowls.

Jealous boy.

Standing up to my full height, I allow Everett to take my hand in his, kissing the back of my hand. "Let's go somewhere less crowded." he says and I nod.
