Chapter 10

BPOV

"Come on baby, we love each other just let your feelings do the talking." Chuck said as he was trying to kiss me on his bed. "No Chuck, I'm sorry I can't do this." I said to my boyfriend I had for about 4 months since after Edward. It was currently the summer and Alice took me to a club after we went shopping. I was sitting down on the bench waiting for Alice to get something from the restaurant. This guy sat next to me and I couldn't help but notice how hot he looked. He caught me looking at him. "Hi, my name is Chuck. What's yours?" He asked. I hesitated at first but shook his hand.

"My name is Bella." I said. Ever since then we have been talking and we started going out. Of course Alice was ecstatic. After a while I started seeing Edward hang around girls at our school, I would either see his tongue shoved down some girls throat or I would hear the word 'fuck me Cullen' come from the janitors closet.

The whole Cullen family would never bring up Edward, well just the simple fact that we never heard from him. The only people who seen him were Alice, and I. Alice was currently not trying to talk to Edward at all. I would either nod at him or give a small smile. But now it was summer after graduation and Edward left town after that, I don't know where he went and it kind of hurts. I was currently waiting for the mail man for my letters from college to see if I got accepted.

I seen the mail man come down the street and he handed me a bunch of letters. I could tell that my college letters came. I separated the mail and ran up the stairs. I called Alice. "hello," She said.

"Alice come quick, I got my letters bring yours and we can see which colleges we got accepted to." I said. She said okay and I heard her Porsche pull into the drive way about 5 minutes later. She ran up to my room and dumped her letters on the bed.

30 minutes later….

We had opened every single letter. Alice applied to the same schools I did and we each got accepted to each one of them. I looked up to her and we started squealing. We were jumping up and down and I was really happy. "Alice, now we have to choose the same school. Now where do you feel like going?" I asked. She started thinking and clapped at her decision. "How about Harvard." She said.

"Huh, that could work with you wanting to be a lawyer and me wanting to be a writer." I said. I nodded and said yes. She went home to tell her parents and I waited for my brother and father to come home from the fishing trip. Once they came in I prepared a buffet and I didn't hear any complaints. Once they finished my father started to talk. "Well Bella, not that I mind coming home to a buffet but what is the occasion?" He asked.

"Yeah, wa wis we woccasion?" Emmett asked with a mouth full. I laughed and started what I wanted to say.

"Well you know how I applied for about 10 different colleges." I said they nodded. "Well I got them all back and after I was checking with Alice we got to accepted to all of them." I said. My dad stood up with a proud look on his face. "Congratulations Bella, I knew you would do well." He said.

"I'm not finished. Alice and I planned on going to the same college, so with her wanting to be a lawyer and me being a writer, we decided to go to Harvard." I said. Emmett choked and Charlie had a shocked face. "You are going to Harvard?" Emmett asked. I nodded and he sighed. "Damn Bella, your making me look like a chump with going to a community college." He said. I laughed. I looked at dad and he still couldn't form a coherent sentence. I could see tears in forming in his eyes. "Bella, I'm so proud of you. I can't believe a Swan is actually going to Harvard, I…I." He couldn't even finish the sentence. I jumped on him and hugged him with my life and I felt Emmett hug to. "Don't worry dad, I'm just the smart cookie in the bunch." I said and heard Emmett laugh.

"But dad, I will always be your little girl no matter what. Just be glad someone is going with me to keep an eye on me." I said. We were crying and I went to pull out the secret weapon. "Oh come on Bella, not the Ben & Jerry's." Emmett said.

"Yes Emmett, it's the right time for Ben & Jerry's." I said. After the ice cream was finished we all talked about our fears and I couldn't believe I got Emmett and Charlie to cry for once. I laughed at this and heard two people come in. It was Jasper and Alice. "Wow Emmett you cry, what a pussy." Jasper said sitting down with Alice sitting on his lap. "Shut up dude, I can't help it when Bella brings out the Ben & Jerry's." He said.

"Oh god the Ben & Jerry's, I can see your point then." Jasper said beside himself. Well after that conversation I turned to Alice. "So how did telling your parents go?" I asked.

"It went well, Carlisle was so proud and you know how emotional Esme is." She said waving her hand in the air. "Oh I know exactly is." I said.

After talking Emmett went out on a date with Rosalie, Jasper and Alice left and I went up the steps to start a story that has been in the back of my mind. 'About three things I was positive: First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him... and I didn't know how dominant that part might be, that thirsted for my blood. And third I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.' I finished that quote and started writing some more. I of course wanted to name the characters after my friends and family. After I wrote about 20 pages I shut the computer off. Once I closed my eyes I let the slumber drift to my eyes.

3 months later….

I woke up to the rain clouds in the window. It was a week before college and Alice and I needed to get to our college apartment to set up. Once I showered and ate I heard the doorbell. I went to answer it to reveal Chuck. "Hi Bella," he said.

"Hey Chuck. I'm glad you're here, I'm leaving for college soon and wanted to see you before I left." I said. Chuck was a year younger than me and won't be graduating until this year coming up. He came and swept me up in his arms and gave me the best kiss anyone could give. I heard someone clear their throat and I turned around to see Emmett. "Hey Emmett, are you ready to help me load the truck?" I asked.

"Yeah, but man don't grope my sister with her brother standing in the same room." Emmett said. Chuck chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. "Bella, I'll help if you want me to." He said.

"Of course the more the merrier, plus I promised Alice we would go shopping for new college outfits." I said. I waved to them and seen Alice's Porsche. She honked in annoyance. I jumped in and put on my Gucci sun glasses. "Are we ready Miss Swan?" She asked. "Why yes Miss Whitlock." I said. Jasper proposed to Alice last week and to say she was ecstatic was an understatement, she ended up cooking for the whole family and shooed Esme out of her kitchen. I laughed at that memory. "What are you laughing at?" Alice asked.

"I was just remembering when Jasper proposed to you and you kicked Esme out of the kitchen to cook for everyone." I said.

"Oh god, I remember that. Your brother wouldn't stop calling me Over Hyper Betty Crocker for a week." She said. I nodded and we parked into the malls parking lot. There was a question bugging me in the back of my mind. "Hey Alice, have you heard from Edward?" I asked.

"No, well we heard he is becoming a doctor but that's all we know." She said.

"Oh," I said a little disappointed.

"Come on Bella, don't tell me you have feelings for him again." She said.

"No it's not that Alice, it's just no matter what he did, I just want him and I to be on good terms with each other and I want to make sure he's okay." I said.

"It's alright, he's going to be okay, you know how I am on these things." She said. I nodded and we did a full day of shopping. Once Alice dropped me off saying she will come to pick me up early in the morning. I seen that the truck was packed and locked. I headed inside and seen Charlie and Emmett on the kitchen table. "Hey Bella, we thought we would hang out as a family under one roof before you left to college." Charlie said. I went and hugged him and gave Emmett a hug. I looked at the table to see at least 16 different Ben & Jerry's on the table. I started to tear up and seen that Emmett already started tearing up.

This is where my family is now. Eating Ben & Jerry's talking about our fears about the future of our careers. I could tell that our future would be far from boring.

A/N= This is the end of this one, I'm making a sequal called 'AIDs in the college life'.
