I dialed my mom's number and as it rang I watched Alex leave the house and go check out the place he wants to work at. Once mom picked up I was slient.

"Elena, what's wrong?" My mom asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry, I was wondering if you by chance had a gold and white dress I could wear to graduation?" I asked hoping she did.

"Yeah I do, I'll email you the sketch, oh you do know your father and I will be handing out diplomas to students and your dad is giving a big speech about success." My mom said and I was a bit shocked but not to surprised.

"Well you guys are very important people so I figured you would." I said hearing her chuckle on the phone.

"Make sure the guest room is all ready for your dad and I. We will be there Friday night and I'll bring the dress if you like it. I love you, see you soon." She said hanging up as I said it back. I opened the email she sent me and looked at the sktech that made my mouth drop open.

It was a beautiful long gown that was white and had gold trimming. It had a slit up the side of my right leg and a very low v in the back which showed my whole back basically. It was strapless and the neckline was a gold trim and so was the intricate designs on the bottom top of it. It was a dress for a goddess and I was excited to wear it.

The week had passed quickly and my parents were already on their way here. Telling Alex about my parent showing up and guest speaking he was surprised and wanted to know if I was okay with it.

I was okay with it, but people will look at me differently when I grab my diploma. Alex told me to not care what anyone thinks and that the important people in my life know I worked hard to achieve the gold gown.

I watched my parents pull into the driveway and I saw they brought Wesley too. They entered the house and Alex was shirtless. I tried to hide his body but it was to late. "Oh my." My mother said making my face turn beat red. Alex turned red to and immediately went back upstairs to put a shirt on.

"Hi squirt." Wesley said hugging me tightly.

"I'm gonna have a talk with Alex okay?" My dad said kissing my head and going upstairs.

"What are they gonna talk about?" I asked my mom as she shrugged her shoulders. I knew they were all hiding something and I was scared about what it was. "Fine don't answer me. Can I see the dress!" I asked excitedly.

"Here it is." My mom said handing me the dress that was on a hanger and it was more beautiful in person.

"It's a dress for a goddess." I said admiring it. She smiled at it and looked at me with teary eyes.

"It'll look perfect for you. I'm so proud of you and Alex both getting gold gowns, I know how hard it must of been." My mom said covering the dress in the protective bag. "Has Alex seen the dress?" She asked me making me shake my head.

"I wanna surprise him. He thinks I bought a purple and black dress for the occasion." I said blushing.

"You really love this boy don't you?" She asked taking her things to the guest room as did Wesley. I followed behind talking to her.

"I do love him." I said playing with the necklace he gave me a couple weeks ago. It had his and mine initials in it and it was a heart that was rose gold. I leaned on the wall watching my mom unpack.

"Your father and I are happy to see you so in love." She said sitting on the bed.

"I'm scared mom." I said sitting next to her and putting my head down.

"Why are you scared?" She asked rubbing my back.

"He's been distant the past week and he won't talk to me as much anymore. I feel like he's gonna leave me." I said feeling a tear fall down and hit my hands on my lap.

"Sweetheart that boy is madly in love with you, maybe he's just stressing out about the graudation. He loves you, I promise you that." She said giving me a tight hug.

I left her room to see my dad leave the room that was Alex's and mine. I entered and saw Alex at the desk. I thought he would notice me but I just sighed and realized how late it was. "I'm gonna go to bed." I said in a sad voice and curling up in our bed. I felt tears fall out of my eyes and quickly wiped them away. I hated how distant he was. I missed the attention he gave me.

I played with the necklace I was wearing and heard the light turn off and the bed dip on his side. I was about to fall asleep when I heard his sleepy voice. "What are you doing all the way over there darling?" He asked me. I shrugged my shoulders, he sighed and I felt him move around and put his arms around my waist and pulled me into him. He wrapped his legs with mine and held me closely in his arms making more tears fall. "Why are you crying darling?" He said turning me to face him.

"You've been distant." I said wiping away the tears that escaped my eyes. He leaned over and kissed my lips softly.

"I'll explain tomorrow, just know I love you so much Elena Evans." He said making me relax a little bit but I was still scared he was gonna leave me.

"Is Eliza okay?" I asked him and he nodded his head.

"She's perfect." He said making me smile. I was happy that she was happy again. "I love you, go to sleep Elena. We have a busy day tomorrow." He said kissing my shoulder and holding me close.
