Unexpected Love

Chapter 43: Grace's P.O.V

I scroll through my Tumblr feed, my eyes still watering from the funeral just a couple hours ago.
I was trying so hard not to burst into tears although that didn't quite work out.
Misha tried comforting me a few times but I just shrugged him off, which I feel very bad about. I didn't even thank him for coming or say bye.
I decided to call him to apologize for being a bit rude.
The phone rings for a while before he picks up.
"Hello?" Misha asks.

"Hey! I just wanted to say I'm sorry for ignoring you today." I reply.

"Aw Grace you don't have to apologize! It's fine though, I know you're going through a lot." he answers.

"Thanks for understanding. I would have you over but I have to learn more about this college I was thinking about going to...but I love you!" I say.

"It's alright. We can hang out this weekend maybe? Well bye Gracie, and I love you too." Misha replies.

"That'll be great! Bye Mish." I answer, before hanging up.

I've been begging my mom to let me apply for Stanford University. I know how expensive it is, but I've been saving up. And, I have the grades to go. If that doesn't work out though, I'll apply for the Pomona College to try and major in art.

The downside of going to college is I won't be able to see my mom, my friends, or Misha that much.
I guess I'll just have to deal with that for a few years.
