Invisible 2 (H.S. AU)

Chapter 27

Victoria's P.O.V

I had been through so much in the past day or so that when Harry finally left, I felt nothing but exhaustion. I ran up the steps, into the house and straight up to my room.

I really wanted my treehouse comfort but I didn't think I would have the energy to climb up the ladder today so instead I settled for my slightly less comfy bed. I fell asleep almost instantly.

Harry's P.O.V

I was super exhausted once left Victoria's house. My eyes red and  emotions high, I decided I needed to go home and take my mind off of everything.

But this time, my choice was not going to be beer. That drink always seemed to get me into trouble.

I was going to college search.

It was waaayyy past the time I should be considering colleges, but I had been so busy with getting my act together to even graduate and focusing on Steph and Victoria that I hadn't actually had time to look into it. And if I would have stayed with Steph, I wouldn't have gone at all. But I was with Victoria now, a better girl. And I wanted to do better for her. So, off to college I would go.

But where? And how would I afford it?

My grades were way too terrible for any scholarships, that I knew. It was a  miracle I passed senior year at all, I was focused on too many other things that were more important than a letter grade. 

I grabbed my laptop and sat back with a pop in my hand. It felt very strange over a long neck bottle.

I wasn't even sure what I'd want to major in. What interested me?

Victoria.

That was about all that interested me. Her. Nothing else.

But I knew this was the time to be serious, for Victoria.

Cars also interested me though. But could I really see myself working in a hot, greasy mechanics shop all day long? No.

I did have an eye for art however... Body paint work maybe?

Nah, I was good with a pencil and paper not spray paint on a car.

I looked around the room, wracking my brain for anything that could give me a clue to my interests.

My eyes landed on my video game system hooked up to the TV.

Video game design?

What if I did a career in video game design?

I would love that!

I could get to design all sorts of cool video games that could beat out all of the lame-ass shit they have now.

I opened up Google excitedly and started searching for more information on video game design.

I looked into the fun side of it, the money I could earn and all that, but the side I was most interested in was the hardest side of it. I knew fun and games would come with... Well making games but I wanted to know the nitty-gritty of it.

Would I be able to handle the computer programming​, remembering codes, doing the math and all other things that would go along with it?

When I was satisfied with my search, and i figured I could handle everything, I wanted to start looking up colleges in the area that would have my area of study.

But I stopped.

Did I really want to make a decision that quickly? By myself? Did I actually want to choose a lifetime career over the course a few minutes and one video game system?
