Roslyn's POV

I walk down down the stars with an admission form in my hand trying my best to hide my smile. My dad looks at me with pride.

'You got it. Didn't you?' He said with a smile on his face. ' I'm accepted.' Is all I say. ' I'm proud you kitten.' He comes closer to me and gives me a bone crashing hug. 'C-can't breathe daddy.' I make out with difficulty.

He chuckles ' when do you leave?' ' tomorrow.' My voice thick with emotion. His face shows a mixture of emotion now. 'Tomorrow? So soon?' He asks. 'Tomorrow.' I say nodding my head lightly.

He nods and pulls me back into another bear hug. 'I will miss you kitten. Can't believe you're leaving the nest already.' I felt teardrops on my shoulders. I hold in my tears. Blinking it all away. ' me too dad. Me too.'

He pulls away. ' now go get ready kitten. Pack up your things. I ll go get us some Chinese and we ll watch a movie later.' He says with excitement but I know he's trying to hold himself back from crying.

' Yoo-hoo go daddy get me some food' I say to bring up our mood. He shakes his head laughing at my childishness and walks out the door.

I walk back into my den. Went straight to my closet and picked out all the dresses. I let out a sigh and think about my future.

Its been a dream for me to get accepted into NYD since childhood. And now it's coming true. All 18 years of my life came crashing into my head like a ton of bricks.

I was sure that mom is proud of me. A tear slipped my eye. I quickly pushed the thought away and started packing.
________________________________

I lay down in bed exhausted from all the packing. I hear the doors open. That must be dad. I ran down the stairs. ' what have you got?'
I asked him, my curiosity getting the best in me.

' i bought the series of divergent and shadow hunter. Pick what you want and I ll go bring the blankets.' He goes upstairs while I pick out shadow hunter.

I keep the food on a small table and get ready for movie. My dad comes and joins me shortly after. He drapes the blanks on the both of us and starts the movie.

Half way through the movie I heard him snore lightly. I smile at it and pause the movie so I can wake up dad and help him to his bedroom.

' dad wake up. Let's take you to your room.' He opens his eyes and gets up mumbling incoherent words. I caught on to one words that said Isabella. My mother.

I try to forget about it and help him to his room. He gets on the bed and snuggles into the pile of sheets and blankets. Yes we both have a habit of using a bunch of blankets with the air conditioner switched on.

It's weird but that's what makes us alike.
