Chapter 3
I was relaxing in a beautiful living room, in Will's living room to be more precise. I could not believe how beautiful his house was.
According to him this was his childhood home. After we landed, he brought me straight here, even though I was so tired at that point that I could have slept in a hotel room just as easily. And that's saying a lot since I've come to hate hotel rooms, always staying in one for the last six years when I was traveling from one continent to the other.
For the most part, the hotel's where I stayed were extremely glamorous, but they weren't home. Home was where I had my best friends, Sigrid and Georgiana, and my poor, neglected father, Charlie that I missed terribly.
There were times when I still saw Sigrid and Georgiana on tours and such, because they were singers just like me; actually they were a big part of the beginning of my career.
You see, back then we had formed together one of the most appreciated and well-known, not only by the public but by our colleagues as well, girls band around the world- "The Children of Destiny".
After three years of success, we had each decided that we wanted to try a solo career, but you can never know- maybe someday we will decide to reunite "The Children of Destiny".
Alright, I think that is quite enough with this trip on memory lane. It would be best to focus on my future instead. Like the fact that tomorrow, I am moving to college.
On the plane, Will showed me the papers with my acceptance to Phoenix University. I am excited and scared, because since I finished high school through e-mail, I haven't been in a classroom full of students since I was fifteen. I am not sure what type of reaction my classmates will have once they recognize me.
It is unavoidable, but I really hope everything will be all right. For now, I'll just have to take comfort in Will's reassurance that it will be. Speaking of Will, I wonder where he is.
"Will, where are you? Did you forget that I am waiting, or this is your idea of a joke?" I text him. I get up from the couch with the intention of looking for him, when suddenly I heard footsteps approaching.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Bells, but I had to talk to Lily, you know how my wife gets." He says with a wink. "But also, because I want to give you something," he says with a very serious expression.
"What is it?" I ask. "You know I hate gifts!"
"It's not a gift really; I would like you to borrow this house. It's completely safe, and no one will bother you here. It's also close to your school…"
"No, no, no." I say, shaking my head. "I want a complete college experience, including sleeping in the dorms with a roommate and everything! Staying here, even if this place is breathtaking will spoil that, so no!"
"Please, Bella, I know you want to have this experience but, Bells, you are like a sister to me, and I'm scared that…"
"Listen, Will, you are very sweet that you are willing to offer me your house but I cannot accept. Don't worry about me, I will be fine, and you know what they say- what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'll be fine, stop worrying.
"But listen to me, Bella; it's dangerous for you to stay in the dorms."
"No, you listen to me, Will, I made my decision and I will stick to it. So please, don't try persuade me on this!"
"Alright, Bella, but at least take the keys, you never know when you might need them." He says looking at me, almost in despair.
"Fine, I'll take the keys but I don't think I'll need them. If you've finished here I would like to go to my hotel now please, I'm tired."
"Please don't be mad, Bella, I just want to help you."
"I know, Will, I'm sorry, and I'm not mad, just tired."
"In that case, let's get you to sleep."
"Lets," I say with a smile.
The next day
"That was the last one, thank God! Just how many books did you bring, Bella?"
"Just my favorites, there aren't so many."
"I beg to differ, Bella, you brought more books then personal things. You know you have an entire library here, right?"
"Yes, I know but like I said, these are my favorites, and without my busy schedule I can finally read in peace. So leave me alone!" I exclaimed a tad annoyed.
Finally, I am here at Phoenix University, one of the most prestigious university's of Chicago. Here, you can become absolutely anything you want- a doctor, a lawyer, you can study art, or music it's truly an amazing school.
My biggest dream is to become a writer. So, I am going to study English literature and creative writing. I have wanted to be a writer since I was little, always reading and trying to write my own little stories that used to make my dad smile.
But, my plans were changed when at fifteen Sigrid, Georgiana, and I were discovered by Will's dad while we were singing in Georgiana's garage. He was passing by and from that moment, my life was suddenly dedicated to music instead.
I never gave up writing completely. Most of the "The Children of Destiny" and Sasha's song's lyrics were written by me.
University of Phoenix such an unusual name, but this was not always the university's name. In a few months, it will be three years since The University of Chicago burned to the ground. Luckily, no one died. The police said that the fire was an accident in the chemistry lab but, the damage was done, and the school was destroyed.
With the help and support of authorities, a surprisingly large number of ordinary people and even a few celebrities, the people of Chicago managed to rebuild the school in a year. Something that was considered a miracle, it raised from the ashes like a phoenix, hence the name "University of Phoenix".
"Bella, are you still here?"
"Yes, I was just thinking of that accident that destroyed the university, but when you look at it you really can't see that anything happened here. The school is really beautiful!"
The building seemed more like a palace than a school. At the entrance, there was a beautiful garden that surrounded a big black gate. In the back, was the school campus where you could buy anything and everything.
As for the dorms, I was not sure yet how they were since I had yet to see them, but I was certain they would be amazing like everything else around here. All I knew about them was that I had a roommate; I just hoped she would be nice.
"You really want this don't you?"
"Yes I really do, I want this experience, I want to meet people that I will have in my heart all my life, and I really want to become a writer and to have people buy my books not just because I am already famous but because they like the way I write. I want…"
"O.k., Bells, I get it. You want to be normal. Just remember, even if it will be almost impossible I want you to know that you can count on me, anything you need alright?"
"Thanks, Will, really you're like my rock. I'm not sure what would happen if I hadn't had you with me. I just want you to know that I am very grateful for everything you did for me."
"Aww, Bells, you know you're like a little sister to me, no need to thank me. Now come here and give me a hug."
So, I gave him a hug and I tried to pour all my love and appreciation into that single hug.
"It's time to go. Please take care!"
"I promise I will," I said. After I let him go, I turned around and did not look back.
Phoenix University here I come!
BUT OH MY GOD AM I SCARED!
ANHi guy s long time no see. I am sorry for the slow update but I had in the past weeks a lot of family problems and zero time for anything else besides work and family and I found a beta that was willing to help me correct all my spelling mistakes so my first chapters are spellings mistakes free(thank you GALGALATZ),but now I am back and I will try update at least once a week, promise!
Sooo,what do you guys think about this chapter too overwhelming? It's good, It's bad? Let me know please.
Right know I finished readingThe Better Angels of our Nature by Lisa Bryanand the first chapters ofA Different Ending by Galgalatzboth of them written beautifully. The first one is complete and you will find a bad ass telekinetic Bella and an Edward with wings(he s an angel send to help Bella to accomplish a mission and to protect her and he is very in love with her).The second is ongoing (Bella wakes up alone in another city without the Cullen's and discovers that her life is a bestseller)a story that I will definitely fallow cause it's an interesting idea.
Ok no more talk. Enough for today see you guys next time, with love Nicolle Masen Cullen xoxo
