Chapter 22 See you soon
"... CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2014-2015!"
I look at Langston with a huge grin in my face, before we gave each other a nod and threw the hats in the air!
I can feel like an adult now.
I'm happy and sad at the same time; happy because I'm an independent woman-ish girl-ish, and sad because I can't cry and run to my mom whenever I want to.
Oh, I really do want to be a kid again.
"Congratulations Chloe," Langston run towards me and kissed me passionately.
I smiled, "Congratulations, Mr. Smartypants."
Turns out Langston was a very intelligent guy since he graduated first. As in valedictorian.
"CONGRATULATIONS!" Sylvia, Tan, mom, and dad were immediately around us.
"CHLOE! REED!" I was immediately engulfed by a pair of arms.
"Archie!" I smiled, "Cogra-"
"Wait!"
I stopped talking and looked at Ivan curiously, what is he planning to do?
Ivan kneeled down on his left leg.
Oh.
"I fell in love with you when I first met you. When I saw you standing near the corridors, laughing like crazy in grade school, I instantly knew you were the one. I love your eyes, your lips, your body -God knows how much I love your body-" I heard an angry cough from Archie's dad, Uncle Dennis, which made Archie blush widely same with Ivan, "-but I wouldn't focus on that because your parents are here- and I love all your flaws. Will you please, make me the happiest man alive? By marrying me, your sweetheart?"
.

Knowing Archie, she would automatically jump and say yes, so I was shocked when she asked, "Did you ask my parents?"
Ivan looked like he's ready to piss on his pants, scared that she might say no.
He nodded, "I have, and dad -I mean, Dennis said he'll chop off my balls if I'll hurt you, and mom -I mean, Iris, will sharpen my yeah with your sharpener if I ever try to hurt you, or dared to cheat on you."
Ouch.
Archie asked, "What would happen if I will say no?"
Ivan has tears breaming on his eyes right now, "Then I won't stop asking you."
"Then I guess you should-" Tears were literally running down Ivan's cheeks, "Stand right in front of me and kiss me! Yes! I love you, Ivan!"
Ivan stood still, before running towards Archie and kiss her.
Moe. Moe. Moe.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!
Uncle Dennis and Aunt Iris run towards them, congratulating both of them, the same goes with Ivan's parents.
"CONGRATULATIONS!" I laughed before giving Archie a tight hug.
She gushed, "I'm getting married!"
"Tell me everything all right? Everything!"
The sad part of graduating is leaving Denovan. I'm going to England to study business there, and... that means I'm thousands of miles away from Langston.
"I'm getting married!" She gushed.
"Are you alright?"
"I'M GETTING MARRIED!"
Oh, so she's still in the I'm getting married shock. Cool.
"Congrats, Ivan!" I cheered, he gave me both thumbs up before walking towards Archie and kissed her.
Okay, okay.
I turn around and smiled sadly when I saw Langston, "Hey, you."
He hugged me tightly, "I can't believe we're finally done."
I nodded, looking behind me, I saw the school grounds, "I'll miss this place,"
He looked at me, "I'll miss you."
"Yeah..."I felt tears breaming in my eyes, "I'll miss me too."
He rolls his eyes with a chuckle, "I'll miss you more."
I gave a boop to his nose, "I'll miss you most."
He smiles sadly, "Are you done packing?"
I nod, "I'm sure you're done, too."
We're both leaving Denovan later.
My parents agreed for me to study abroad, but they made me promise to stay in contact with them. As if I won't. It's a whole new country. They were also the ones who encouraged both of us to leave tonight so that I can stay in England before school starts and New York for Langston.
--------------------------
"Bye honey!"
My parents, and his parents, waved goodbye.
"Bye!" We both waved back before entering the airport.
This is it.
This is really is it, is it?
I look at Langston, "I love you, that's why I'm doing this. I'm breaking up with you-"
"NO!" Langston screamed, "No! Chloe, we can, and we will make it."
I cried, "We can't..."
I can't accept the fact that one day, I'll wake up and learn that he'll call me and say he loves someone else...
"We will." He said, "We will try, we are not giving up. Not without a fight."
I pursed my lips, before kissing him, "I'll see you at Christmas then."
He grinned, "I love you, Chloe Porter."
I chuckled, "I love you more, Reed Edward Langston."
I hugged him so tightly for the last time, "Good... bye..."
He shushed me, "Goodbye shouldn't be tolerated in our relationship, Chlo. See you soon is much, much more understandable."
...... "Tolerated, big word." I teased him, which made him laugh and hug me.
"See you later."
"See you soon." I corrected him.
"Right." He smiled, "Though, I want you to promise something to me though."
"What is it?"
"Promise me you'll always wear this," He took something out from his pocket, before opening a small velvet box and there, a shiny, diamond ring is sitting nicely in the center.
I gasped, is this bad boy proposing to me?!
"Aren't we too young?" I asked him,
"So Ivan and Archel are old?" He asked sarcastically,
"I mean," I said, "We just started our relationship."
He rolled his eyes, "Puh-please, we've known each other since we were still in our father's sperm!" That's a very weird metaphor.
I smiled, "I guess so."
"Though I will give you a proper proposal one day, that's not today. I just want you to say I'm engaged to my long time boyfriend who is the hottest man on the planet if someone asked you out or even flirt with you."
"Aren't you possessive?"
"And arrogant," He added.
I really will miss this Jerk.
I smiled, "Then give me that." He puts the ring in my finger, "I really do love you."
"I love you more and more and more every day."
Cheesy, "Even if we're farther apart than Denovan and Michigan?"
"Even is we're farther than that."
Flight number 345-23jk is now accepting boarding passengers
I felt my heart drop, "That's my flight..."
He smiled sadly, "See you later, I mean, soon."
I kissed him one last time before grabbing my bag and waved him goodbye.

Once I'm inside the plane, I took my seat which was beside the window side, and closed my eyes.
I love you, Langston.
I was about to drift into a deep sleep when I heard someone sit beside me.
I didn't bother opening my eyes when suddenly, I felt a pair of lips on mine.
I jerked awake and pushed the stranger off of me.
I opened my eyes and gasped when I saw the smirking jerk, "Is that how you treat your boyfriend?"
"B-but, I d-don't get-t it..." I stuttered.
He was supposed to be on the other plane...
The only logical reason why he's here is that....
"Langston, did you get lost again? Seriously? You graduated first Langston. First." I stood up from my seat and took his hand, "Let me bring you to your plane-"
"Chloe!" He shook me, "Like what you said, I graduated first. Why the heck would I get lost? How can I enter this plane in the first place?!"
"B-b-but..."
He sighed, before making me sit back to my seat and he sat beside me, "I'm going to England with you. I'm going to Liverpool University with you. I am going to be with you."
"But... New York?"
He smiled, "It was just my plan B."
"For?"
"If you wouldn't accept the ring."
Oh.
"Do you really think I'll let you live in a country full of boys speaking with your favorite accent?"
Right
"I loved you since we were still in our dads' sperm," Again, weird metaphor. "And now that I finally have you, I'll never let you go; not even in my or your death bed."
Aww.
"Have I told you that you make very weird metaphors?"
He grinned.
