The Graduation Ceremony

" When you guys realize that you have no control over my life," Jeremy fired back.

" No one is trying to control you, we just want what's best for you. There is no such thing as love in the world, they are going to pretend to love you and just use you till they get what they want and then they'll drop you," Justin replied deeply annoyed.

" Just because the both of you have not experienced it does not mean it doesn't exist. I am trying to create something special with this girl and I will prove you all wrong," Jeremy said with determination.

" You know what kiddo, I'm not going to tell Joseph about this your little and meaningless infatuation. I'm going to leave you to learn your lesson by yourself and you are going to understand what we are trying to tell you," Justin replied as he sipped his drink beside him.

" That's better, I'm going to prove you both wrong," Jeremy answered and Justin scoffed.

" Okay brother, we'll see. Your suit sucks by the way," he responded with a smirk.

" Thanks, I think I'm going to call your personal stylist to come help me out and I also need to do something about my hair," Jeremy replied and Justin's smirk disappeared.

" Oh no you don't, call Joseph's," Justin said laughing.

" Not funny brother," Jeremy responded as he turned to face the mirror behind him completely backing his brother.

The Graduation ceremony

" Oh dear, you look so beautiful Anna and you look dashing Amberle," Mrs Jones said as her daughters came out of the room looking lovely and breathtaking.

" Thanks Mom, you look nice yourself," Amberle replied as her mom gave her a hug.

" I can't wait to finally graduate, it is the best feeling ever," Anna said as she stared at her dress one more time.

"  I know the feeling girl," Amberle giggled and they all laughed.

" Well let's all be on our way now," Mrs Jones said and they all walked towards the door.

" Finally, it's your day Jeremy. I'm so happy for the kind of man that you're becoming," Justin said as he stared at his brother who was wearing a suit from the Stuart Hughes Diamond edition which was worth a lot of money. His shoes were from Stuart Weitzman and were equally expensive. His haircut was lovely and neat and it all made him look really handsome.

" It's all thanks to you and Joseph," Jeremy replied, bringing Him out of his thoughts which he was lost in thinking about his appearance.

" Don't mention brother, we will give the world to see you happy," Justin answered with a smile.

" Then please brother, help me convince Joseph about her. I really love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. Sarah is a good girl and we would be good together even though she doesn't know it yet. I need you to help me prepare brother for this," Jeremy begged and Justin stared at him deeply surprised.

" You really surprise me Jeremy Wright, I can't believe you are in love with someone that doesn't even love you back and you want me to speak to Joseph? Do you wish me a death sentence? Joseph would never allow this and you know it so cut the crap about love and focus on making yourself productive in our family's business. It is really tough if you must know," Justin replied bluntly and his brother's countenance fell.

" He is not going to stop me this time around. Do you think he is going to show up at the ceremony?," Jeremy asked him awaiting a positive response.

" I know he will, you know our brother can be very unpredictable," Justin replied with a smile. He looked at Jeremy and knew his stubbornness was going to continue no matter how hard they tried to curb it and he hoped it will not lead him into trouble.

" I think it's time we leave," Justin said and his brother nodded in response.

Joseph stared at the window In his huge and luxurious bedroom. He had a lot of thoughts running through his mind. Being the CEO is a lot of work and it also comes with a lot of responsibilities and he hoped it would all not drown him, he thought of his father's accident and he had the deadliest plans on what to do with the people responsible for it. He looked at his watch and he knew it was almost time for Jeremy's graduation, he was planning on not attending considering the fact that his brother was hiding a huge secret from him but he knew Jeremy had only one graduation and he was not going to miss it for the world. He headed to his bathroom to freshen up.

The Jones family arrived at the ceremony and they were all seated. Anna joined the seats of her fellow graduating students while Amberle and their mom sat in the parents section. It was a very big Hall in the school which was very mighty and they had a lot of space. They was a huge stage for presentation and Amberle remembered Anna was going to give a speech as the valedictorian and she was really proud to be seated there. She also couldn't wait to see her sister speak infront of everyone.

" I think I need to use the bathroom mom," Amberle said as she stood up from her seat.

" Amberle, do you know where it is?," Her mom asked, looking kind of worried.

" No but I'll ask and I think I'll get it," she replied as she picked up her phone.

" Okay dear, hurry back. You don't want to miss anything," her mom responded and she hurried away.

The university was very huge and she would have gotten lost if she hadn't asked for the location. On her way back to the hall, she was cut up looking at the school's design and beauty that she didn't notice when she hit someone and fell on the ground. She was about to yell at the person but stopped as she saw the image in front of her, her heart stopped and her mouth couldn't utter a word.
