Due to Mr.R

Chapter Five: The Mail.

November 10th 2016

I run the the mail box of my apartment complex dragging David behind me. "Today's the day!" I keep repeating, "Today's the day!"

I'm proud of David, he's taking this really good, this bitter sweet situation. I can tell he's sad cause he thinks I'll probably get in.

I struggle to get my key out of my bag. I finally grab it and open my mail box. I grab all the mail, throwing everything behind me that's isn't the letter. I finally reach it, it's perfectly folded and there are no lumps, it's perfectly smooth.

No I can't, give it to david, he'll no what to do with it. I hand the perfect letter over to David. He slowly opens it and his smile turns even bigger but then slowly turns into a frown.

"what is it?" I say, now I want to know. He hands it over to me and my smile does the same.

"Dear Mrs. Elizabeth Koshy,
We have gladly expected your request to join our school, NYU. Like your email read, we would love for you to join us on NOVEMBER 28 2016, Your flight has been booked thanks to our lovely administration office work staff. 
Thank you,
NYU Director/ Principal,
Mr. Sharp.

"wow um, that's short notice along with a short letter." David says scratching his head.

"yeah." we just have an awkward pause, David and I never have 'awkward pauses' we where so comfortable with each other I guess it just never happens. Suddenly David picks me up and spins me around.

"CONGRATS!" he said, I was still pretty sad that David and I would have a long distance relationship. He kissed me but I didn't kiss back, I was just, sad.

We walk back to my apartment and I just sit on the couch staring into nothing-ness. I really thought I wanted to go to this school. I don't. I decide to call my parents to get their ideas for this , now just bitter situation. I tell david i'm going to call them so he leaves , but I felt really empty without him.

LM- Liza!
L- Hey mom! Can I talk to you.
LM- Is everything fine? How are your grades? How's david? Did he hurt you? I'm coming!
L- Wait mom no. Davids amazing. He didn't hurt me. I just have a question or more like a 'Phone a mom'
LM- Oh no, what's wrong?!
L- well, I applied for NYU and
LM- NYU! Oh honey that's amazing if you get in please go you'll love it there!
L- That's what I wanted to tell you...
LM- Oh honey did you not get in! I'm sorry! Would you like me to come!?
L- No mom it's
LM- So it is david! Oh no i'm coming now and i'm texting david to never you hurt my baby!
L- MOM! Stop interrupting me!! It's not David! He's the greatest thing that happened to me! It's actually that I got into NYU.
LM- OMG BABY! YOU DID! Why are you so sad?
L- Um, I don't want to leave David, they want me there on our 1 year anniversary.
LM- Hahah! your silly, Elizabeth, Your going.
L- Got it mom.
I quickly hang up before I say bye.
I text david that i'm coming over to the boys house, where he is.

I arrive at the boys house still extremely sad. Everyone greets me, they all know what i'm actually here about, David, they all immediately tell me where he is, outside, which is weird. Everyone is inside. Why would he be outside? I walk out side, with little tears running down my check. I see david crying in the coffee talk chairs. He takes one glance at me and I burst into tears as well. He gets up and without a word he hugs the living daylights out of me, but it's , ok , I did too.
