Love's Consequences

2 days later..kinda, October 7th
Addison's POV
Bryce and I spent the whole day yesterday together. "Baby..." bryce says. "Mhm" i say stuffing my mouth with chips. "So I was thinking of college.." he says. I look up at him. "first I didn't wanna do it, but I think it would be a good option for me. I'll still continue tiktok though" he says. "I don't want u to go far away from me" i say, quietly, looking down. "Where r u considering going?" I ask loud enough for him to hear this time. He seemed hesitant. "Where r the ones ur thinking of?" I ask, hoping his answer was somewhere near by. "New York and Chicago" he says closing his eyes for a second and then looking up at me again. "oh" i say. "They've just always been the colleges I've always wanted to go to" he says. I nod. "Did u apply?" I ask. "I'm about to but i wanted to make sure with u first" he says. "I don't wanna hold u back obviously.." i say looking down. "I have contracts here.. i can't move.." i say fiddling with my fingers not being able to make eye contact with bryce as tears filled my eyes. "I won't go if u don't want me to" he says holding my face. "No no, u should go!" I say. "R u sure?" He asks. "Yes" I nod. I feel a tear fall down my face and try to wipe it before Bryce knew I was crying. "baby, don't cry" he says hugging me. "I'm sorry, I just have mixed emotions" i say, continuing to cry. "Its not like i'll forget u!" He says pulling away and wiping my tears. "Its not final yet anyway! Its only if I get selected into a college!" He says. "Ur smartass with the GPA of 4.2 will get into a college" i say. "Don't cry otherwise i wont apply!" He says. "no! Apply!" I say.

A few weeks later. December 13th (idk how college shit works so cooperate)
Addison's POV
We've been waiting for the colleges to get back to us for almost 8-9 weeks now. Classes start on January 4th in both the colleges he applied to. "Baby! We got the emails!" Bryce says. "What?! Ok tell me!" I exclaim with excitement. "U open the emails!" He says giving me his phone. I impatiently check them. "U GOT ACCEPTED INTO THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS!" I yell. "YAY!" i scream hugging him. "Woohoooo" he says. As upset I was about Bryce leaving, I wanted him to go to college if he wanted to and got a good opportunity. Nothing would make me happier than him being happy. "I told u ur smartass with the GPA of 4.2 would get into a college" i say. "Whateverrrr" he says. I could see how happy he was and thats all I wanted.

January 2nd
Bryce's POV
We just arrived at the airport.. and all day, Addison hadn't left my side. I didn't wanna leave her.... but college.

Addison's POV
"Do u have to go" I say hugging him tightly. "Yes" he mumbles. "Promise u won't forget about me?" I say pulling away from the hug to look at his face. "I won't forget the reason i'm alive" he says with a sweet smile. Tears roll down my face. "I don't wanna leave my baby crying!" he says rubbing my back. "Ur going for like 3 years!" I sob. "I'll be home on Christmas and new years for 3 weeks!" He says. "Also 3 weeks in a whole year" i say. "I'm gonna facetime and call u every single day!" He says. "Pinky promise?" I say putting the pinky finger in front of him. "Pinky promise!" He says linking our pinky's together. "Can I see happy Addi before going? Pleaseeee!" He says. I smile at him. "Now i better see that smile every single day!" He says. I nod and hug him tightly. "I have to go now!" He says. "Have a safe flight" i say not pulling away from the hug, just wanting this moment to pause. He gives me a kiss and i give him a smile before he goes. "I'll wait for u" i whisper. I stare and watch him before I couldn't see him anymore. Tears fall down my face and I go inside my car, just wanting to go "home". Home without loved ones, isn't home... its a just a house. I go inside and lock the door. I could wait for him my entire life, so I can wait... right?
