Edward Cullen/a full-fledged adult
It's probably no surprise to anyone that I ace the certification course.
It's official.
I'm an ethical hacker working for a company that's going to take me far.
Life becomes a smooth routine as I enter true adulthood.
I wake up next to my beautiful girlfriend every morning.
We dance around each other while we get ready for work.
Sometimes, we meet for lunch in the middle of the day; sometimes, we don't.
I fall into bed every night with her in my arms.
We're brushing our teeth and preparing for bed one night when Bella brings up a touchy subject.
"I think we should try reaching out to your mom."
I spray toothpaste all over the mirror.
"Why would we do that?"
Aside from my graduation and a very painful lunch a couple of weeks later, I haven't had much contact with my mom.
She isn't willing to accept my girlfriend, and I'm not willing to give up Bella.
Ever.
