SM owns. Unbeta'd.
That time we got our acceptance letters...
I see the envelope sitting on the kitchen counter.
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY written in bold letters in the corner.
It's fat. That's a good sign, right?
Shit. It's my first choice.
My breath speeds up as my fingers trace the letters.
"Well, open it, silly! I'm going crazy here!"
Mom.
"C'mon son, don't keep us in suspense!"
Dad's giddy like a little girl. It would be funny if I weren't nervous as hell.
I open the packet.
Dear Mr. Cullen, It is with great pleasure the we...
Mom's reading over my shoulder and already shrieking and hugging Dad, jumping up and down.
I'm in.
I grab my keys and run out the door, packet in hand.
Only one person I want to share this moment with.
She knows how much I wanted this.
Tires screech as I park the car and run to her door, knocking frantically.
"Hey, Edward. She's upstairs. Hey, you look happy, is that what I think it is?" Charlie, Bella's dad smiles, ushering me in and pointing at the envelope in my hand.
No time for small talk, old man.
"Yes, sir. Georgetown."
Heavy hand pats me hard on the shoulder.
"Congrats, Edward. Proud of ya. Go see Bella. She's got news too." Charlie's beaming.
He's so proud of his girl. I'm proud of her too.
As I bound up the stairs and knock on her door, I hear her rush to the door.
It swings open, and I see light. She's light. Like being close to the sun, it's gravitational pull undeniable.
"Yeah?"
She nods excitedly. "NYU. Fine Arts program. Full ride!"
I grab her, my arms tight around her waist as I lift her up and spin her around.
The sound of her squeals and giggles is my entire world.
She pulls away to stare at me. Her question clear in her eyes.
I nod just like she did. "Georgetown."
We hug again.
We're going to college. I'm only a four-hour drive from her.
It's gonna be awesome.
A/N: More later ;)
Thanks again for reading and reviewing! I love your theories and I also love how some of you are being easier on Edward than others. The rest of you want his balls on a silver platter. lol We'll see... I have the next chapters all planned out. I'll see what I can do today...
