Gabriella and Greyson
It was always all about them from the beginning.
Both in high-school, Grey is the most popular boy in school. Of course with his good looks, enormous height, kind heart, and being QB on the school football team, girls are aft...
This is it. Our last day of high-school. Come at me college.
After months of physical therapy, Grey's almost back to how he used to be. He still has to rest more than usual. I'm always at his practices when I'm not studying to make sure he's eating and taking breaks. He always tells me not to worry but I know he loves it.
"This is insane." Asher says to us, sitting in our seats as our classmates say their speeches.
"Tell me about it." Chloe says, tightening her grip on his hand.
I applied to Juilliard last year thinking I wouldn't be accepted.
I got an email 2 months ago saying that I got accepted.
I also got accepted into UCLA arts program.
I choose Juilliard.
Which means I'm going to be away from Grey for all of college. But there's a huge problem. The problem you ask.? I never told Grey yet. Every time he asked if I UCLA or Juilliard replied back to me I would say they haven't yet. I think he got suspicious cause I would've been really upset if I haven't heard from the two schools I wanted to go to, but he has been patient with me. I plan on telling him tonight but I really don't know how to break it to him. He's been so happy and I don't wanna ruin it my telling him. Like what am I even supposed to say. "Hi Grey! The girl you love is going to college across the country for 4 or more years!"
That's not something I can just say. I've been contemplating between the two schools for long but it's only fair I go to my dream college if Grey's going to his. He wouldn't want me to go to UCLA just because of him but I know he's hoping I would.
"What's wrong babe?" Grey says, soothing my arm. Snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Nothing." I say, smiling at him.
He can't worry, not right now at least. I'll tell him soon.
"ASHER COLLINS!" the speaker yells.
We all yell and whistle as each of our names are called.
"CHLOE GATES!"
"REESE JONES!"
"GABRIELLA MARTINEZ!"
"GREYSON MILLER!"
"BRIANNA SMITH!"
We all got called and tears starting running down my face as I stare at all of my friends.
We made it. We really finished high school. We all got into our dream colleges. We are gonna be across the world from each other. I'm gonna miss them. This.
That's when it hits me. I'm never gonna be sitting in class with Greyson, Reese, Brianna, Chloe, or Asher. We're never gonna sit at lunch and laugh at the girls eyeing us. We're never gonna sit at our high school bleachers and cheer on our boyfriends.
My heart hurts.
I start sobbing without even realizing until I hear me let out a hiccup. I cover my mouth right away. I look at all of them wishing they never noticed. To my surprise all of us are crying. Yes all of us. I bring Chloe and Brianna into a hug as we hold each other close.
"Hey, what about us?" Asher says, sniffling.
I let out a laugh as I open my hands out for them to join.
"I'm actually gonna miss this." Reese says.
"me too." Grey says.
"me three." Asher says.
"me four." Chloe says.
"me fiv-"
"Ok, ok we get." Reese says before we can continue.
"We're all gonna be across the world from each other." I say quietly, as we all let go of each other.
"Are you not going to UCLA with us?" Asher asks.
Well, I guess this is when soon is.
I nod "no" slowly, looking up to see Grey's reaction.
He has no expression, but the pain in his eyes and the fact that he just swallowed slowly, tells me everything I need to know. He's hurt.
"Did you not get accepted?" Grey asks quietly, looking down at me.
"I did." I say, slow tears running down my eyes.
"Then why didn-" I cut him off.
"I got into Juilliard Grey." I say, looking at the floor.
I'm waiting for him to speak, at least say something, anything.
I give up and realize he isn't gonna say anything so I look up.
Before I even lift my head a huge warm body wraps around my body tightly.
"I'm so proud of you, and I know your dad is too." Grey says into my ear quietly.
That's it. I crumble.
I sob in his chest as he lightly rubs my back.
"it's okay Bella. I love you no matter where you are in the world." He says.
