Off To Juilliard

Dreams

"Nothing will ever be the same will it?" Maddie whispered to me over the sound the airplanes. 

"Nope." I said emphasizing the "p". "I just hope that that's a good thing. " I said with a sigh.

Was I ready for this much change? This much responsibility? I didn't know. All of the sudden I heard a scream from across the airport.

"Chlo! Mads!" Paige screamed enthusiastically, waving her hands in the air. She sprinted over to us with a big smile and engulfed us in a bone crushing hug. "What am I suppose to do without you?!" She said tearing up. 

"Paige! Don't worry, we'll be back before you know it; and next year you'll be at Juilliard with us." I said.

"But what I I don't get in?! What if I never get to see you?!" 

"Don't think like that! If you don't get in they're crazy." Maddie said seriously.

Paige was about to say something when a strong hand grabbed mine and pulled me to the side. I looked up to see two blue eyes staring into mine.

"Josh..." I said tentatively

"Chlo, there's something I need to get off my chest." He said still looking into my eyes. 

"Shoot." I said quietly.

"I love you, I've always loved you." I said placing both of his hands on my cheeks. His face grew closer and closer I could feel his breath on my lips and then... I woke up. 

"Chloe!!" My mom shouted. "It's time to go to the airport! I groaned and rolled out of bed onto the cold floor with a light bang. I heard a quack from my phone signaling that I had a new text. I picked myself off the floor and trudged to my nightstand that held my phone. Then I quickly typed the four numbers that I had memorized on my keypad and unlocked my phone. The text was from Maddie. 

Maddie: can't wait to start our new lives at Juilliard roomie! 

This made me smile. Even though Pittsburgh always had a place in my heart the thought of Juilliard made me smile. My dream was so close to coming true. 

Me: me either roomie!! See you in an hour!

I texted back and quickly pulled on a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and a ruffled blouse. I pulled my suitcases behind me and went downstairs to be greeted by my whole family. I smiled. Today was the first day of my new life.

I must have hugged a hundred people in the last hour. I wasn't complaining, it was nice to know that people cared about me. There was one certain boy that hadn't made an appearance yet though, and it broke my heart.

"Paige, is Josh coming?" I said. Of course Paige knew about my feelings. We're twinnies after all. 

"Chloe, I didn't want to tell you this right before you leave, but he's not coming." She said frowning. My heart sank. He really didn't care about me. That dream was only a dream.

JOSH'S POV

I couldn't do it, I wouldn't do it. I couldn't hold Chloe back from her dreams. I would never forgive myself if i was the one to ruin it for her.It was so hard not to tell her though, I cared about her so much, I felt like my feelings were bursting at the seams, I couldn't keep it in for much longer. I heard my door creak open and footsteps on the carpeted floor.

"Josh are you coming to say goodbye to Chloe and Maddie?" Paige said somberly. Goodbye.. How could I say goodbye to Chloe? 

"I... I uh..." I didn't know what to say. What was I suppose to say? I paused for a second looking for the right words. 

"Josh... That was kind of a rhetorical question, you are coming right?" Paige said close to tears. I paused for awhile longer. I didn't want to hurt Paige or Chloe, but I couldn't go and not say anything. 

"I'm not going." I said trying to sound nonchalant and I look at my phone. 

"Fine!" Paige half screamed and ran out of my room. I felt horrible. 

Chloe's POV

I gave everyone one last hug and made my way to the gate. I looked back at everyone one last time and waved. It was harder than I thought, leaving them, but it had to be done. My dreams were coming true, and nothing, not even Josh, was going to stop them.
