Thirty Five

Bella's P.O.V

I walked into the house where I saw Linda talking to mom and dad. Xander and Bianca were there as well. 

"Hi guys, what's up?" I asked coming over.

"Well, I got some big news," Linda told me. 

"What?" I asked her. 

"There's a modeling offer for you in Paris," Linda said. 

"What?" I said in shock.

"Yeah. They want you to come and model for a few months," Linda told me.

"Months?" I asked her.

"Yes. They need an answer right away though," Linda told me.

"Of course I'll take it," I told her.

"Wait a minute. Who will be watching over you? You're still underage," Mom said. 

"We can watch over her," Xander offered.

"We wouldn't mind," Bianca told them.

"You both will be okay with going to Paris with Bella for a few months?" Dad asked them.

"Bianca's been wanting to go to Paris. It'll be a nice vacation for us," Xander told him before kissing Bianca's cheek.

"Will they at least be back for Christmas?" Mom asked.

"Of course," Linda told her.

"Well, I guess it will be okay for Bella to go," Mom said. 

"Perfect! I'll call them up and let them know," Linda told my parents.

"Wait, when does she leave?" Dad asked. 

"In a few days. I know it's short notice but they're going to pay for everything," Linda told us.

"Okay."

"I have to go so I can get things ready. I'll see you guys later," Linda said. 

"Let me walk you out," Mom said. 

"Wait, Bella," Bianca said before standing up and walking  over to me.

"Yes?"

"What are you going to say to Collin now?" Bianca asked me. I could feel a wave of sadness wash over me.

"Oh my god. I was so happy, my mind went blank," I told her. 

"I know. So, what are you going to do?" Bianca asked me.

"He has the right to know. I should go tell him right now," I told her.

"Do you want me to drop you off?" Bianca offered.

"No. I don't want you to stay and wait for me for a while," I tell her.

"Okay. Good luck," She told me before giving me a hug.

"Thanks Bianca," I said before walking out.
