Drella

I was sitting in Moms car, tapping my feet anxiously. This was it. I was graduating. We pulled up at the high school and I got out. "You're going to be fine," Mom soothed.
"Wish I could have someone here," I murmured.
"I'm sorry, Drella. You know I tried. I have to work,"
"Okay, whatever," I shrugged.
"I'll see you tomorrow before you leave," she promised. I rolled my eyes in reply.
"Yeah," I nodded. She drove away and I started into the school. I walked through the corridors and stopped in front of an open door. It was right behind the stage in the hall. I walked in and came to a desk.
"Hello, Drella," the woman smiled.
"Hey," I waved.
"I'll sign you in," she said. She started looking behind the desk and handed me a graduation cap. I took it and smiled in thanks. I placed the cap on my head and pushed through people. I saw Vic, Jaime and Tony together. I jumped on Vic's back and heard him laugh. He threw me off and hugged me tightly. I breathed into his neck and squeezed him.
"Can't believe this is happening," I muttered against his neck.
"Can't believe you're leaving tomorrow," Vic replied quietly.
"Don't. You'll make me cry," I laughed. We pulled away and Vic wrapped his arm casually around my shoulders.
"I swear I'm going to trip," Jaime said.
"We can hope," Tony smirked.
"You packed?" Jaime asked.
"Yeah, all done," I nodded.
"Vic is going to be lost," Tony said quietly.
"He isn't. He's stronger than that," I smiled gently.
"Can we make a line!" someone called. "Alphabetical order," she added. I sighed and Vic squeezed my hand before he headed near the front where the other F's were. I went near the back and waited. "Okay, senior year! When I let you through go and sit in the front row. Then you'll be called up and you can wait while speeches are done before you officially graduate," she explained. I breathed a calming breath out and followed the line. I went through a curtain and down a set of stairs. Everyone was watching us. I took my seat and put my hands in my lap.
The ceremony started. Everyone was called. When Vic, Jaime and Tony were called I yelled up to them. But then I heard my name.
"Drella Young!" our principal called. I stood up and walked up to the stage. Everyone was watching and thinking, is that even a real name. I took my scroll and shook the principals hand. I saw Vic grinning at me. I winked at him and went to stand over with everyone else. As speeches were happening I inched back to where Vic was. I gripped his hand and got ready. Everyone took off their caps and held them in their hands. Then when it was time we threw them in the air. Accept for me, I threw mine at Jaime and it hit him in the eye. People were screaming and I hugged Vic, letting him pick me up.
That night I was outside the club. I had changed into a tight purple strapless top and shorts. I smiled as I walked inside. I got myself a drink and went over to where the 'band' would be playing. Vic and Mike were both setting up. I ruffled up Mike's hair and he looked up. "The things I'd do for your legs," Mike sighed. I rolled my eyes and went over to Vic.
"Excited?" I asked.
"Yeah and nervous. Can't believe I'm doing this,"
"You'll be fine," I promised. "When do you go on?"
"In a minute," Vic muttered.
"Here," I said. I got a bottle out of my bag and poured the vodka into my glass. Then I handed it to him. "Drink," I ordered. Vic took it and drank deeply. They were ready to go on and Mike ran up to me.
"Do I get a good luck kiss?" Mike asked. I sighed and laughed.
"Nope," I shook my head.
"Come on, Drella. Just one. Please,"
"Fine," I sighed. I reached up and pecked Mike on the lips. But he grabbed my face and kissed me again. I pushed him away and he chucked. "You bastard," I joked.
"Pleasure," he saluted me. I went to Vic and put my hands on his shoulders. "You'll be fine," I said, making him nod. Vic went to the mic and I hurried off stage.
"Hey everyone! Listen up!" Vic said into the mic. But nobody did. I put my hands on my hips and growled.
"He said listen the fuck up!" I shouted. Everyone shut up and Vic smiled.
"Me and my brother are here to play our stuff for you. Hopefully we can finish with a bang," he said and everyone cheered. They started playing and I grinned. Vic was so happy right now, I knew it. His smile was huge and he was doing what he loved.
When they had all finished the club was starting to empty. I found Vic and he took me outside. "Do you still want to come to mine?" Vic asked.
"Yeah," I nodded. We went to his car that was all loaded with their gear. Vic started driving with Mike in the back.
We reached Vic's house and I got out. They were putting their gear away and I went up into Vic's room. I couldn't help myself, I started crying. Vic was my best friend. He was the most important thing in my life ever since I moved to this stupid city. When I met him he was so broke. I helped him be confident and now he can reach anything. I know he's going places, I just won't be there.
"What's up?" Vic asked when he saw me. He knew I was crying, but he knew why. He came and sat next to me then wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm sorry," I cried.
"I know you are," he replied. "It's okay, Ella,"
"It isn't. I'm leaving you. I just came here and now I'm going. What if something bad happens?"
"Before I met you only bad things could happen. You changed that. You did it," he told me. "Now, this conversation isn't happening. I'm not going to sit here all night and cry about how much I'm bound to miss you. This might be our last chance to be happy with one another. I want to be happy with you,"
"I love you," I said through tears.
"I love you too," Vic said and kissed my head gently.
