Jessica's time in Ruskin came to an end when her parents came back from their cruise. Although saying goodbye to Nick was harder then the first time she had to say goodbye to him, she knew that after she graduated she would be going on their second U.S. Tour with them.

********************************************************************** ~~Graduation Day~~

Jessica looked out at the audience as she saw Kimberly and Nicole sitting with Brian and Kevin.

"Yow!!! CATWALK!!!" Nicole yelled, as Jessica graced the stage with her presence.

Jessica flipped the tassel on her hat and jumped down off of the stage to join the rest of her senior class. After the ceremony Jessica joined her family and friends.

"We are so proud of you sweety" Said Jessica's mother.

"Awwww...thanks you guys." Jess said.

"YOu look a little bummed...you should be happy this is your graduation day." Kevin said.

"Yeah but...I guess I just wish Nick was here to share it with me." Jess said.

"Yeah, I know....but their was a storm in Ruskin causing the airports to shut down." Kevin said. He didn't want to lie to Jess, but he needed to keep the secret so he could surprise her.

Jessica was now 18, and Nick is 19. They were still closer then ever, almost inseperable....well, exept for now because Nick was stuck in Ruskin.

Jessica and her family and friends went back to her house for the party, their were alot of people there....some people Jessica didn't recognize some of them.

"Jess!!! Sweety, you have a phone call." Jessica's dad said.

"Ok!" Jess said. She picked up the phone, and walked into kitchen were it was a bit quieter.

"Hello?"

"Jess?"

"Nick?"

"Hey kiddo!! Congratulations, I am so proud of you." Nick said.

"Thanks Nick....I miss you....I wish you were here right now!" Jess said while she started choking out her words.

"Oh sweety, I know you do....wait I'm losing connection....Jess?" Nick said.

"Nick?? Are you their?? Nick??" Jessica said.

Just then the back door opened and Jessica almost passed out from what she saw.

"NICK!!!!!!" She shrieked.

Everyone in the house ran to see what the scream was. When they saw Nick they all smiled.
