DIFFERENT [BWWM]✔

Chapter 47

"We need to talk" I say once we get in the car

"What about?" He asks

"College" I say and the hand he has on my thigh goes rigid. I knew this would happen.

"What about it?" He says, retrieving his hand

"You know what about it. I've applied to schools and I've got a reply from one" I say

"You mean you've been accepted?" He asks

"Exactly. To WSU"

"Please tell me you're joking. Washington? Are you kidding me?" He says, his temper rising

"Pull over." I demand and he does. I don't wanna die before my time

"Look, I know it's far. But we can make this work. Long distance or not"

"When did you apply?" He asks

"When I came back, before we spoke"

"Of course" he scoffs

"What is that suppose to mean?" I ask, beginning to get irritated

"I wasn't part of your plans then"

"I thought you hated me. And for the pain to bend I just wanted to go far away, besides, I've always loved the idea of going to WSU"

"You never told me that"

"I guess we were lacking communication"

"And who's fault was that?"

"Mine. Alright, mine. We aren't doing this right now" I huff

"Well, I also got accepted into Harvard"

"And when were you planning on telling me?"

"I don't know"

"Great. And I talk about it and you want to go hurricane on me" I roll my eyes

"I'm sorry. It's just that...." he trails off

"What?"

"I'm scared you'll find someone else" he says, his voice barely a whisper if not for how well I know him I swear I wouldn't make it out

This is what this is about. Insecurities. I'm not insecure about him so why does he have to be that way about me?

I take his face in my hands, "Listen, I'm here, I've always been here, and I'll always be here. I don't plan on going anywhere and you know that"

"I know that" he mutters

"Great. Now please drop me home and don't argue with me again. I need to get ready for tomorrow" I say and he drives off

Glad this is done with!

"Someone finally decides to pass by this place. What a surprise!" Faye says, sacarsm dripping from her voice once I get home. She might've changed but she's so good at this

"I live here missy" I roll my eyes. I'm surprised they've not gauged out, I've done that many times today to last me a lifetime

"How are you feeling after what went down yesterday?"

"I'm alright I guess. I'm over it" I sigh

"I'm sorry I helped her at one point"

"It's all over and in the past Faye. I hold nothing against you" I say and pull her into a hug.

"It's nothing. I have to choose a dress for grad tomorrow and I'm exhausted." I say and climb the stairs.

"Your mom's and I divorce procession is held on 15th" dad says casting a glance over to Amber who has a neutral expression. This doesn't bother her one bit, that I'm sure of. So I'm gonna say what I want

"That's great. That's right before I go off to college. And mom comes the day before that"

"Wonderful. I'd love to meet her" Faye says and that's how dinner rolls.

We gonna get this over with already

I wake up early for the day. I still can't believe it, I'm finally done with highschool. It's been one hell of rollercoaster ride, but it's finally over.

I shower and complete my morning routine, I put on my robe and fix my makeup. I change the light way it always is and make it a little extra but not too much. 

I slip the robe off and put the dress on.

I strap and take a few pics and take my clutch and car keys.

I meet Faye downstairs and she's  wearing a similar dress to mine

"I swear we act like twins a lot" I tell her and we chuckle together

Dad is getting ready to come so we leave before he gets there

Bye Bye Highschool
