STARING AT THE SUN
CHAPTER 3
BELLA P.O.V
Sleepovers had suddenly become a normal for us. Nearly every weekend we would either sleep at my house on the living room floor or we would sleep at Jacob's house with him on the floor of his bedroom and me in the bed.
Graduation was approaching fast. And today a package came in the mail. I was waiting for Charlie to get home to open it. I was sitting at the kitchen table when he came in the house.
"Bells?" He asked. I hadn't made dinner assuming that if I got an acceptance letter that he would want to go out to dinner.
"In the kitchen." I smiled. It was a good feeling to get a package this big. He came into the kitchen and looked to see if I had dinner ready. "A letting from Washington came today." I answered holding it up.
"And?"
"I was waiting for you to get home." I answered ripping the tab off and pulling out the folder. I opened it and right away saw the huge CONGRATULATIONS! right at the top.
"That's amazing, Bells! You're in!" I smiled and looked at him. "You did it!" He smiled hugging me.
"I'm so excited!" I right away ran to the phone to call Jacob. Then I realized I should probably be calling Renee first but Jacob lived here and he was here when I applied.
"Hello?" Billy answered.
"Hey, Billy it's Bella. Is he in?"
"He's actually with Quil. Wanna leave a message?"
"Sure. Can you just tell him I got in." I smiled.
"Will do. Congrats Bella." My smile got wider on my face and I got a little choked up.
"Thank you. Have him give me a call when he's around."
"I will. I'm so happy for you." I smiled and held the phone closer to my ear. "There's much more out there than these small towns. I wish you the best."
"Thank you, Billy." We ended the conversation so that I could call Renee. "Mom?" I asked into the phone as soon as she answered.
"Bella! It's so nice to hear from you! How are you?"
"I'm good." I sighed. "I have some news." I don't know why I was nervous to tell her. Maybe because she was assuming that I was either going to Alaska or somewhere warm. "I got into Washington."
"That's amazing! Congrats!" I smiled. I felt content knowing that I actually got in. "You deserve it."
"Thank you. I think I'll come visit this summer." Maybe I could bring Jacob. I knew he needed a break from the pack life.
"That would be great! Maybe after graduation."
"I have two airline tickets." I commented. It was the only thing that wasn't missing from what Edward took when he left. "Do you remember Jacob Black?" I asked.
"Of course I remember little Jacob."
"He's not so little anymore but I'm gonna see if maybe he wants to come with me."
"I think that would be lovely." She sighed. "How are you doing besides that?" Last time I had talked to her I was convincing her that I didn't want to move to Jacksonville to live with her.
"Better. A lot better. Sleeping has gotten easier. Classes are starting to chill out more. Made a lot of new friends down on the Reservation."
"That's great, Bells. I'm glad. I was very worried about you."
