hmmm peterick after high school graduation, theyre gonna be going to different colleges which're located on p much opposite coasts, and they dont know how or when they'll see each other again
they weren’t together anymore. they broke up, each with a letter in their hands directing their futures in opposite directions. pete cried, patrick didn’t. he just rubbed his now exboyfriend’s back, the paper crumpling in his fist.
the people around them were standing, cheering and throwing their caps in the air. but pete and patrick stayed put in their seats, fingers linked togther lightly. pete was crying again, and this time patrick was too.
they had a joint graduation party, but they spent the whole time up in patrick’s room, holding each other close. neither of them cried. pete didn’t think he had any tears left, patrick saved them for when he was alone.
pete was leaving first. his mom and dad both were crying, hugging him tightly beofre he climbed into his car. patrick was there too, holding his breath as he leaned into the car through the open window, pressing a sweet kiss to pete lips.
as pete was driving away, he was crying. as patrick watched him go, he was too.
