Chapter 66: Goodbye

Alexa also didn't write the book for almost a month because she had to soothe how she felt when she wrote the painful part of Daniella and William's story. She knew they would still continue, but Victor did say there was a difference. Even if she doesn't want to continue the story in such a scenario, it's not possible because that's been the flow of the story from the beginning.
I sat back in my chair in the bedroom and continued to write again, but this time it was the last page before the end of Daniella and William's story because it was only a few days before their graduation.
The day passed when Daniella didn't show any interest in William anymore. In teaching Daniella, she was always serious and just listened to what William was saying, unlike before, which was full of complaints and noise. If William had not yet spoken, there would have been no noise to break the silence of the surroundings. At first, Bree was really surprised by Daniella's actions, but soon she understood why, because Daniella seemed to give up in the hope that William would notice her. Charice also no longer exchanges bad words with Daniella. The three don’t seem to know each other when everything happens at J's prom.
Daniella and Bree are in the school garden now talking. "Hey, it's only been a few days, and our graduation seems to have just been J.'s prom," Bree said, stopping Daniella. Bree noticed immediately, so she just asked. "Where are you going to college, Daniella?"

"I do not know."

"I'm just here near our place, so I can still go home."
"I think I'm going to study in a faraway place because my mother plans to go home to the province and we'll live there, so I think I'll go to college there."

Bree's face is suddenly sad. "You're going to leave me here. I thought we'd be together until college. "

She smiled. "Don't worry, I'll visit here so I can find a job here after college, right?"

"That's still Daniella, four years!" Bree stared at Daniella because, since what happened at J.S. prom, it has been quiet and she rarely speaks. If she used to be so irritated by so much, it now appears that if she hadn't asked, she would not have spoken. Almost half of Daniella's life seemed to have been lost.
"Dan, are you okay now?" Bree asked skeptically.
"Of course, why not?"

"I noticed that you've been quiet now."

Daniella gave her a sad smile. "We can still mature, can't we? I was just ahead."

"But, are you sure of your decision?"

She nodded. "Yes, it's final, and there's nothing to get back."

"You're still okay, aren't you?"

"Yes, he still teaches me well, but that's just the way it is and nothing else."

Daniella remembered that she had to ask Bree something a few months ago, but now she remembered again. "Bree, did you give me a necklace?"

Bree frowned. "No, why?"

"When we went to the island, when I came home, I had a necklace around my neck." She pulled the necklace from inside her uniform. "This. Are you sure you didn't put it on me? "

"I'm sure it didn't come from me, and if I did give it to you, I wouldn't wear it on you secretly."

"Because my mother didn't put it in either. Who then? "

Bree remembered when they went to the island that William had been guarding Daniella, so what she thought now was that it might have come from William, but she didn't tell Daniella yet.
Alexa lowered the ballpen again and left the room because someone was outside their house. "Is anybody here?"

"Wait!" While opening the living room door, she saw a delivery man. "What is it?"

"Does Alexa live here?"

"It's me. Why? "

"It's you!" He goes behind the ban and has a large bouquet of flowers that grows bit by bit. "Someone is giving; please just sign it." She signed the delivery receipt and took the flower. The delivery man left immediately.
She went into her bedroom and looked at the flower card. She read the message on the card, which immediately made her smile. It was from Jack, and a few months after she came home from the hospital, he always went to Lexie's house and sent flowers. Now it looks busy, so it can't go to Alexa's house.

 A few days later, when it was time for Daniella's graduation, Alexa was looking at the sky from her bedroom window before looking at the book. "When I sat down again and held the pen, it was also the last time I wrote in the book. The end of the story will happen now. " She slowly sat down, grabbed the ballpoint pen, and pressed the end of it against the page of the book again. She took a deep breath and began to move her hands again to write.

 "Daniella, why did you wake up so early? Your graduation will be later," my mother asked.

 "Our flight to the province will be later, right?"
 
 "Yes, after your graduation."
 
 "I decided to just get my diploma and not march for graduation later."
 
 Maria was surprised at what Daniella said. "Why? You can still attend graduation because we have another two hours before our flight."

 I smiled. "Maybe the ceremony will take a long time; is it okay that we can't go?"
 
 "It's okay, but didn't you dream of walking to the stage and getting your diploma there while the teacher handed it to you?"
 
 "There's still college. I'll just get it back there."

 Maria just sighed. "If that's what you want, it's okay, and you're happy with your decision."
 
 "Thank you! I'm leaving Mom. I'll be at school for a while, then I'll let Bree know. "
 
 "All right, be careful."
 
 "Yes, Mom." I went to school and made up my mind to just get my diploma and not go on stage or attend a graduation ceremony.

 A few more minutes, and I will be at school. I also saw that the seats and the stage were arranged. I smiled sadly as I saw how happy the other students were on the way to the stage, but it was final, and there was nothing to go back to for what I said to my mother.
 
 I knocked on a classroom door. Fortunately, our adviser was there, and she was alone at that time. She saw me. "Daniella, what are you doing here? You should be preparing for the graduation ceremony later because this is your last day in high school. "
 
 I smiled a little. "I know that, ma'am, but I won't be able to attend the graduation ceremony later."
 
 Her forehead was furrowed. "Why not? For a student, graduation day is the happiest because it means you're done and you've succeeded for four years in high school. "
 
 "I'm happy now even though I can't walk to the stage. If only I could get my diploma now. My mother and I are also leaving later and got to the province, so I decided not to attend the graduation ceremony. "
 
 "Are you sure about that?"
 
 I nodded. "I'm sure."
 
 My adviser teacher took the diploma out of the drawer and saw that it had my name on it. "If you are sure that this is really your diploma when you enter college, you will be able to attend the graduation ceremony. It's fun even if the lessons are very stressful sometimes, but it's worth it, even when you go up on stage. "She smiled at me.

 "In college, ma'am, I will make sure that even if the teacher doesn't want me to graduate, I will actually go to the graduation ceremony." I was still joking.

 "That should be the mindset if you know all your grades are okay, but good luck on your journey to the province. Will you also study at the college there?"
 
 "Yes."
 
 My teacher took some papers again from inside the drawer. "Go ahead and bring it. It also has the principal's signature, so you can pick it up. I forgot to say that if you are studying in the province, you need the report card and documents from this school. Bring them with you so that you don't have to come back here if you are going far into the province."
 
 "Thank you, ma'am."
 
 "Nothing, I have to go out as well, because I'm with those who fix it outside."
 
 "All right, thank you again here, ma'am. I'm leaving too." I walked away from the classroom and re-examined the gym and stage before leaving the school.

 As Daniella walked slowly, she thought of William and how she tried to forget him, but her heart was treacherous, so her brain would be the first to follow now because otherwise it would break and there would be a wound that was too big, and she was afraid to go back to the past if this was what she would do whenever William was around. The day passed, and she never really tried to talk him out of what happened at J's prom. The only conversation the two of them had was about tutoring, but the more he talked about how she felt she never tried to convey that to William, It's also better that she did that so she can move forward faster.

 I stopped in front of Bree's house. "Bree!" I shouted vigorously. Bree's mother came out.

 "It's still early, Daniella. Bree is still asleep."
 
 "I'm sorry, aunt, I just need to tell Bree something."

 "You just went into her room. The door is not locked. You'll wake her up because it's late and she hasn't eaten breakfast yet."
 
 "All right, aunt, thank you!" I went inside the house and went to Bree's room, and I saw that Bree was still asleep, and she almost couldn't see because she was wrapped in a blanket and the pillow was on her face.

I sat down next to her and tried to wake her up. "Bree, it's noon. Wake up and eat. " I even shook her arm.
