Aaron had to appreciate the irony of how things played out at graduation and afterwards. He was caught off guard when Keeley summoned him from across the field, so similar to the way she did it before.
He definitely wanted to talk to her one last time before they went their separate ways for a while but wasn't sure how to go about it so having her come to him first was a relief. Then he found out it was just because she needed someone to take pictures of her with her father.
It was stupid of him to get his hopes up. Seeing her smile like that in a way she refused to do for him now was a punch to the gut. Where had things gone so wrong this time?
He made mistakes with her before but at least she loved him back then. He figured it would be easy this time to accept her love more fully and properly love her in return. Keeley disliking him from the start had never been factored into the equation.
