Landon's POV
Today is the day I have been dreading the most. Brody graduates today. I'm really happy for him, don't get me wrong, but I don't want my brother to leave me.
"Landon you need to start getting ready," My dad told me, walking into my room.
"Dad, I don't want to go," I said. Just watching him graduate is gonna make me sad, knowing he only has a few months till he leaves for college.
"You're coming, so get ready. You have to be there for Brody's big day," He told me.
"Fine," I sighed.
"We leave in a hour," He said, and left my room.
I got up and went to my closet. I didn't really know what to wear. My dad looked dressed up, so that probably means I have to too.
A minute later Noah came into my room. He saw me sitting on my closet floor.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"I don't know what to wear," I shrugged.
"I'll help," He told me, walking into my closet. He looked through my clothes until he found me a outfit. It was khaki shorts with a button up shirt and sperrys.
"Get changed," Noah told me. I just continued to sit on the floor.
"What's wrong?" He asked me.
"I just don't want Brody to leave," I told him, trying my hardest not to cry.
Brody's POV
This is like the best day ever! I graduate! I've been waiting for this day for forever, and it's finally here.
I think my dad is stressed out. He decided to have my graduation party at the house, so he's been up for hours trying to get everything set up. I think he should have just hired some party planners, but he insisted that he do it by himself.
I was in my room getting ready when Noah walked in.
"Hey," He said, awkwardly.
"What's up?" I asked.
"I think you should go talk to Landon," He told me.
"What's wrong with Landon?" I asked confused.
"He's sad you're graduating," Noah said.
Landon has been sad all week. He hasn't really talked to anyone and just hangs out in his room. I don't think he realizes that I will still visit once I leave for college.
"Ok, I will," I told Noah.
I walked across the hall to Landon's room. I didn't bother knocking, just walked in. I didn't see him.
"Landon?"
"What?" I heard a quite voice say. It sounded like it was coming from his closet. I walked in and sure enough he was sitting on the floor.
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
"I don't know," He shrugged.
"What's wrong?" I asked. I already knew what was wrong, but I was trying to get him to talk about it.
He just shrugged again.
I walked over to him and sat down on the floor beside him. We sat there in silence for a minute until he started talking.
"I'm going to miss you," He told me, looking down at his hands. "I don't want you to leave me." He started crying, making me feel terrible.
"We have all summer together, and I promise I'll see you all the time," I told him, giving him a hug. He sniffled and nodded his head.
"Ok," He said, wiping his tears.
"You need to get dressed now. We have to leave soon," I told him. I saw some clothes in his hands, so I'm guessing that's what he's wearing.
He got up and walked to his bathroom. I went back to my room and got my cap and gown on.
I walked down the stairs and my dad was setting things up outside around the pool. I went out there to see if he needed any help.
"You want me to help?" I asked him.
"No, I think I'm good. I just have to get the cake later," He told me. "And the caterers will bring the food."
"Ok, cool." I went back inside and checked the time. We only had 10 more minutes until it was time to leave.
Landon came down the stairs in a nice outfit. Noah must of picked it out cause that's definitely not Landon's doing.
He was still looking a bit sad. I just can't imagine what's gonna happen on the day I actually leave for college.
"Don't be sad," I told Landon, squishing his face.
"Stop!" He frowned at me.
"C'mon! It will be fun. There's gonna be a party and I'm pretty sure dad invited some of your friends," I said, trying to make him excited.
"Ok," He smiled. He might not be happy now, but he will later.
"Ok, guys! Time to go," My dad yelled.
We all piled into his truck and drove to the school. The parking lot was already packed.
We walked inside and Landon was following me around, but I had to go backstage and get ready.
"Bud, you have to go with dad," I told him.
"I want to stay with you though," He whined.
"I'll see you in a hour."
"Fine, don't trip and fall on stage!" He laughed, and walked over to my dad.
I went backstage and everyone we getting ready. We got in alphabetical order and I was towards the back.
The ceremony lasted a long time. I was so bored during the whole thing, but I graduated!
Everyone walked off stage and I went to find my family. I was turned around talking to someone when Landon ran up and jumped on me.
"Woah, hey bud!" I laughed, catching him.
"You didn't trip and fall," He pouted. "I was hoping you would."
"Wow, thanks," I rolled me eyes. I was so happy I didn't fall though. That would've been hella embarrassing.
"Congratulations!" My dad come up and hugged me.
"Thanks," I smiled and hugged back.
I set Landon down cause he was getting heavy. My dad wanted pictures so we all got together and took a few. Noah wasn't pleased. He only like taking shirtless selfies.
"Dad, c'mon! We have enough," He complained.
"Can you not enjoy them unless your shirt is off?" I asked him.
"Whatever, you take shirtless pictures too," He told me.
"I know, but my abs are way better," I smirked.
"I'm hungry!" Landon randomly said, making us all laugh.
I talked with my friends for a while and took pictures, but I had to get to my party. Most people were coming to mine. They thought it's gonna be awesome, but I don't know how it can be without alcohol. My dad would never let me have a party like that, so it's a good thing he's barley home.
"Brody let's go," My dad called me.
I said bye to my friends even though I would see them in less than an hour.
We got back into my dads truck.
"I need to go get the cake," He told us, driving to the bakery.
We stayed in the car while he went in. The box looked huge.
"Geez! Got a big enough cake?" I asked him.
"It serves 100 people. I wanted to make sure we had a enough," He told me.
"YES! I LOVE CAKE!" Landon yelled from the backseat.
"You can only have one piece today. You don't need that much sugar," My dad told him.
"Awe man!" He complained.
We soon arrived at home and we all went and changed.
Landon's POV
Brody's graduation was ok. I wasn't as sad as I thought I would be. I was really excited for him, and now we get to party, so it will be even better. The only bad part is it isn't gonna be one of his great party's. It has to be dad approved and that means it's gonna be boring.
I went upstairs and got my swim trucks on. Now that is finally warm outside we can open our pool.
When I went downstairs there was already people here. I knew a few, but not many. I saw Brody sitting on a tanning chair outside talking to someone. I went out and sat beside him.
He looked over at me and smiled.
"Is this Landon?" The girl asked Brody.
"Yeah, it is," Brody told her. I just smiled. I had no idea who she was.
"Landon this is Britney. She's one of Kaitlin's friends," He told me.
"Oh, hi!" I smiled.
It was really awkward so I left. I went to Noah. He was sitting with Samantha, so I went and sat on his lap.
"What do you want?" He asked, rolling his eyes.
"Nothing."
"Then go somewhere else," He pushed me off his lap.
"Can you come swim with me?" I asked. I didn't like swimming alone. It was super boring.
"Maybe later," He told me.
I left them to continue making out, and went to find Brody. He was inside now, and was talking Lucas.
"Can you guys swim with me?" I asked. They both turned and looked at me.
"In like 10 minutes," Brody told me.
"Ok." I went and sat on the couch. People kept coming in and out congratulating Brody, but finally someone turned on the music in the backyard. Brody came up to me and said we could swim now.
I hopped up off the couch and followed him outside. Brody jumped in and once he resurfaced I just jumped on him.
"Turd," Brody muttered, throwing me across the pool.
We all swam for a while, and even played chicken. I only won once and Brody kicked Noah in the nuts so he would fall.
We ate cake and there was tons left over, which I was totally ok with.
"Let's go watch a movie," Brody said. There was only a couple people still here.
Everyone got out of the pool and dried off. I stayed in cause I didn't think Brody would want me coming.
"Landon you coming?" Brody shouted to me.
"I can come?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah," He told me.
I happily got out of the pool and dried off.
"Go get changed and meet me in the theater room," He instructed me.
I did what he said and changed into some joggers.
They were all on the couches and chairs and there wasn't any room left.
"Come here," Brody told me. I walked over to him and he set me in his lap. Kaitlin sat beside him and she was cuddled into him and so was I.
The movie started, but I didn't really like it, so closed my eyes. I eventually fell asleep cuddled into my older brother.
