2 months later

Alicia

His team weren't doing so well, it was the championships and the team opposite were winning by only three points in which Will needed to score a home run in order to win the event. She knew that her boyfriend was capable of it but it was obvious from the sweat beading on his forehead that he felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. "He's not going to get it" she heard Aubrey comment and chuckled.

"Yes he is, we have to have faith in him, he's going to get it" she reassured her by a pat on the shoulder and smiled as Aubrey started to giggle.

"You have to say that, you're his girlfriend and he's crazy about you and you love each other" Alicia smiled at her words before slipping her arm around her shoulder, she had grown to love his sisters including Sara the eldest who spent most of her time at college, she had a great relationship with both of them even if they were annoying. They reminded her of Owen except in Alicia's eyes Owen was ten times worse. She and Aubrey watched as the coach called Will on towards their last chance and she monitored his pause in middle of the field searching through the crowd with a hesitant smile forming on his features as he made eye contact with her. She beamed like an idiot and waved in which he blew a kiss and she could here giggling from other girls surrounding her assuming that he was motioning towards them causing heat to pool in her cheeks.

She watched as the opposition pitched and then Will hit the ball in which he hit it perfectly towards the other side of the field. Everyone cheered in their seats as they all watched him run like the wind but she kept still and rubbed her fingers nervously until she caught him reaching the finish line and slapped the pavement a split second before the pitcher caught the ball and she jumped from her seat with the rest of them as he scored their last home run winning their final game. As they clapped she slowly made her way down towards the field and as she reached the ground she ran quickly towards him. She watched as he turned towards the crowd searching for her until he caught her running towards him just in time for him to catch her as she flew in to his arms. He lifted her as she wrapped her legs around his waist and she weaved her arms around his shoulders. They could vaguely here teams members cheering and jumping up and down but were to focused in kissing to even care about the new success. "I knew you'd do it" she mumbled against his lips and felt him chuckle against hers.

"I told you that you were my good luck charm" –he grinned and she squeezed his shoulders extra tight cherishing the moment before kissing him further passionate. He gently set her on the ground as they finally let go and he wrapped his arm around her waist whilst she rubbed circles on his cheek gazing into his eyes. She never loved someone as much as she loved him in which she recognised that the first time he informed her of his true feelings for her some weeks ago. "This cause for celebration" she smirked

"Swim at the waterfall?" he asked and she shook her head

"Will, its fifteen degrees, will get sick and plus, your mom put us in charge of looking after Aubrey"

"Babe, Aubrey is old enough to look after herself, will drop her off at my house and then go for a quick swim, it'll be fun" he aimed even if he knew it was hopeless.

"No" she stated sternly before entwining her fingers with his and pulling him towards the other players. "Congrats guys, it was a good game"

"Thanks to Willy boy over here" Matt said as he slipped an arm around Will's shoulder.

"Nah, it was all her" Will pointed towards Alicia and she rolled her eyes grinning before pulling him in for a chaste kiss. "You guys a gross" Matt mumbled much to their amusement.

"You guys are coming to the party tonight right?" Matt asked and Alicia nodded

"will try and make it" she replied before she felt Will pull her by the waist and kiss her forehead. They both waved goodbye to their friends before Will grabbed his strap bag and she wrapped her arm around his waist as they made their way towards his sister who was currently looking deeply bored, miserable and unhappy as she sat on the bleachers alone.

"You know… We could do our own thing tonight instead of going to Matt's party" he smirked and she rolled her eyes

"Nice try Gardner" she pushed him away much to his disappointment and sat next to Aubrey wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

"What do you wanna do now that the game's finished?" she asked and the ten year old beamed.

"Can we get some popcorn and go home and watch movies?"

"Of course we can" she replied and stood up only to hear Will groan in annoyance making her slap his shoulder. They walked hand in hand towards her mother's car which she 'borrowed' and once Aubrey was in Alicia assisted Will in packing his baseball gear into the boot when he pulled her attention by wrapping his arms around her from behind and kissing her shoulder.

"Thanks for looking after my sister this morning, you're a life saver" he whispered and she chuckled lightly before turning around.

"Will, you don't have to thank me. I love Aubrey, sometimes more than I love you" she turned her head to shut the boot and when her movements faced back she took in his features of slight worry and shock making her laugh. "Just kidding, I love you equally" she teased making him shake his head in amusement.

Will

He couldn't really describe what the last two and a half months felt like but if he had to place it in one word it would be happy. They were crazy in love with each other and he knew it was real, just by the way she looked at him or the way she would hold his hand and rub circles on his palm, it was a kind of tenderness that he would cherish for the rest of his existence. They had their ups and downs in the last eight weeks just like every other couple but they always ended in the same place; kissing, apologizing and making up. Both their parents thought they were sleeping together but they hadn't gotten to that step yet even if Will wanted to and he really wanted to but he understood her willing to be patient. She wanted their first time to be special considering their actual first time existed someplace else and he understood that. But as a result he had to sit through a very awkward conversation with his father on the topic of sex and apparently so did she with her mother. It was one of the most awkward moments in their teenage years and also the funniest as they both privately erupted in laughter afterwards.

As soon as they arrived home he jumped into the shower, washing the dirt and grime off a good and challenging baseball game and as he came out Aubrey was already curled up on the couch with popcorn and chocolate whilst Alicia was nowhere in sight. He glanced through the kitchen window to the patio and saw her sitting on the deck whilst looking out into space as if she were lost in thought. She hadn't even heard his footsteps approaching and as he sat down next to her she was still gazing down towards the ground with her chin in her hands. He had noticed that ever since he saw her this morning she had been quite distant, replying with short answers and looking like she was lost in her own mind. He knew that when Alicia was in deep thought it was best to stay away but that didn't stop his mouth forming his curiosity. "Are you alright?" he asked hesitantly careful not to disturb her mind and she glanced in his direction before nodding her head and sighing deeply. "We have three months left of school" she started off and he wasn't quite sure where she was going with this but nodded anyway.

"You know how a few months ago Georgetown sent me an applicant to apply for scholarships?" she asked and he nodded once again unsure of where she was going with this but he had an idea.

"Well" –she paused "About four weeks ago, I sent it back in and I received a letter last night with the results" he widened his eyes in shock and slight excitement before moving closer trying to gain eye contact but it was hopeless as she kept her gaze towards the ground.

"I got it Will" she finally replied and turned to face him in which he noticed for the first time the tears welling up in her eyes. "I got accepted and I gained a scholarship for the first two years."

His jaw dropped and a wide smile spread across his face before he jumped and pulled her into his arms. "Oh my god Leesh" he squeezed her with much anticipation and felt her chuckle against his shoulder before wrapping her arms around his waist. "That's fantastic! That's more than fantastic! That's amazing babe, I knew you would get it!" he pulled back only to see small tears fall down her cheek and a wide smile spread across her beautiful face. He took it as happy tears and tried to wipe them away before cupping her face.

"Okay, I know you should be excited but crying is a bit extreme don't you think?" he joked but she didn't laugh and instead her face fell and she gazed down towards the ground.

"You're going to Harvard" her voice broke and his face fell as he witnessed more tears flow down her cheeks.

"Well no" he started "I haven't gotten accepted yet" –that clearly didn't help the situation as she slapped him hard against the chest and sat back down running her hands though her hair. He sighed before sitting next to her and entwining his hands together before analysing his next words, he really wanted to try and somewhat comfort her, tell her her biggest hopes but ultimately he knows it's worthless.

"If I get good results from Georgetown then I'm coming to Georgetown with you, hands down" he states resolutely

"But you said so yourself, you don't think you'll get it and plus, you're father wants you to go to Harvard"

"I don't care what my father wants!" –It came out a little harsh than expected but he knew she understood.

"Maybe if I get a response from Harvard, I can…"

"NO" –he states resolutely "Don't even think about it Alicia, Georgetown has been your dream ever since you were a kid and you can't turn down an opportunity like this. Do you know how rare a scholarship for law school is? You won't get another opportunity like this and I won't let you turn it down"

"But.."

-"No but's" he says sternly "You're going to Georgetown"

"And you're going to Harvard" she adds and he sighs before running his hands through his hair.

"I don't even know that yet Alicia"

"But you're not sure about Georgetown so where else are you going Will? Yale? Chicago?"

"I don't know!" he replies frustrated "I don't know where I'm going Alicia but I know that I'm not coming to Georgetown" he avoids eye contact because he can feel her pain slice through her features as she takes in his words.

"What?"

He sighs deeply and decides to just confess it. He moves closer and takes both her hands in his. "I received the letter back from Washington, I didn't get accepted Leesh"

"Whaa? Why? That can't be true, you worked just as hard as I have and…."

-"They said it was because other students had higher grades and more experience than me but that's alright because I have an eighty percent chance of getting into Harvard." He explained and watched her shake her head with anger slicing through her disappointment.

"What about us Will? Harvard is in New York and Georgetown is in Washington. We won't have time to see each other. I want to go to college with you, not by myself" she said sternly and he was completely dumfounded. He stared at her for a good thirty seconds before she sighed, shook her head and leant her head down in frustration. It wasn't his intention to take long to respond but her words cut him like a knife as he realised that there was a possibility where they could both move away and she'd meet new people and maybe fall in love with someone else. All those things that were included in what was only described as Will's worst nightmare.

"Alicia" he waited for her to make eye contact but instead she kept her head down so he wrapped an arm around her and leaned his face against her shoulder staring at her long eyelashes from the side. "Babe I'm sorry. I haven't used the right words; I honestly have no idea what we're going to do next year but all I know is that I love you and I want you in my life. Please look at me" he begged and as she gently turned he gazed into her beautiful green eyes and for a moment he thought he could see his soul through it. He cupped her cheeks brushing the stained tears and softly kissed her lips.

"You mean everything to me Alicia, everything" he whispered as their foreheads clashed and she smiled hesitantly.

"You mean everything to me too Will and I love you" he chuckled at her words and clashed his forehead with her; their noses clashing. He pulled her against his chest and she rested her head on his shoulder while rubbing circles above his heart.

"She'll we just see where everything goes with college? Take things slow" he suggest and feels her nod against his shoulder. "Okay" She replies and he turns to make eye contact and smiles at how beautiful she is even if her face is flushed red with dried tears and her hair is shadowing her face. He brushes strands of her hair behind her ears and kisses her forehead.

"It's been an emotional day" she states and he chuckles lightly before staring out into the view of his backyard.

"Yea, tell me about it"

They sit there for a good ten minutes before she gathers herself, standing up and gesturing her hand out to his in which he takes it and as he meets her face he pecks her lips with a soft kiss. "You alright?" she nods hesitantly before looking over his shoulder and then back to his face.

"I'm going to head home and get changed before the party tonight. You're gonna pick me up right?"

"Yep, I'll be there. We're only going to be at Matts for a while right? And then movies" he adds and she nods grinning.

"I hope we don't get kicked out of the movie theatre for making out like last time" she states making him laugh as they walk towards the inside of the house.

"Well if we want to actually watch the movie will have to retrain ourselves" he smirks and she rolls her eyes as a response before quickly waving goodbye Aubrey and pulling him with her outside. He hugs her tightly beside the car and she rests her forehead against his. "I hate fighting with you" she whispers making his heart fall.

"Me too"

"Get some rest, you've been running around all morning" she states sternly before slipping in the car and he leans in the window snatching a kiss. "We're okay right?"

She laughs lightly at his words before cupping his cheek gaining another kiss. "Yes, of course. I love you" he smiled tenderly and sighed in gratitude whilst stepping back.

"Love you too"

Alicia

She parked her mother's car outside her house and made her way inside. Sighing as she hung her coat on the coat hanger. It had been a long day of holding important information in which she didn't think she'd be able to tell him. She assumed that he would be mad at her but it turned out to be the complete opposite, he seemed more excited than she was for herself. Granted, she hugged both her parents enthusiastically the night before and she knew that all the hard work, tears and study paid off in the end. The first sight that struck her as she walked through the timber wood of the house was three suitcases packed beside the door. She walked through the dining room towards the living room and greeted her family gathered around the sofa staring expectantly with her parents arms wrapped around Owen whose eyes were red.

"What's going on?"

"Sweetheart, take a seat" her father said and she felt a sudden wave of agony hit her in the stomach as she had an idea of what this could be about. She moved slowly and sat opposite staring suspiciously, she made eye contact with Owen watching him shake his head in disappointment.

"First of all, we love you both very much and none of this is your fault but we can't do this anymore"

-"Mom, what are you talking about?" Alicia cut in and watched her mother sigh before glancing over at her husband who moved closer taking Alicia's hand in with his.

"Your mother and I are getting a divorce"
