Word prompt: Fireworks

In 500 words or fewer, write a short entry on freedom.

Pairing: Edward and Bella

Walking out of the classroom, I'd never been more relieved. My last final of the year was over and I was free. Freedom never felt so good. Over the years freedom has meant several things to me. Being the daughter of a cop, I learned about patriotic freedom. When I was sixteen, freedom was about getting to go out with my boyfriend and going to the reservation whenever I wanted. Freshman year at Dartmouth was freedom from parents.

This summer was a different kind of freedom. In the past, I would be packed and ready to fly home to Washington. I would work at the local outdoors store and spend a few nights a week down at LaPush. After last summer that all was no longer an option. Though I loved my father, this was my last summer of college. I didn't want to spend it with him looking over my shoulder questioning my choices. I needed to be free of him so I could have fun with my friends and get to know myself a bit more. This summer I would be working as a part time legal assistant at a firm downtown. It was just a couple of days a week, so for the most part I was free.

I hadn't seen Edward since the morning after we met. We'd ended up talking until six in the morning before I took him back home. We exchanged numbers before I dropped him off, but we were so caught up in our finals that'd we'd only text each other once. Though I hadn't seen him, he was never far from my mind.

As I was walking into my apartment, my phone beeped. Finals are over! Em and I are going to the fireworks show by the river. Want to join us? Edward should be there. –R. Rose and Emmett had been inseparable since they met. I don't know how they got any studying done.

Count me in. –B. What a way to start my summer of freedom.

OooOoo
