"Savannah Marie Jones"

After hearing my name being called by our principal, the feeling of nervousness and jittery takes a back seat.

I start climbing up the stairs, being cautious in my 3 inch heels. Which makes the beautiful sound as it walk towards the guest of honor.

While collecting the certificate, I look into the camera when I hear boots and whistles from my family as well as Mr.Brown.

Needless to say that man who is the CEO of such a big franchise is actually a very big old softie with very witty and sarcastic remarks.

I then start walking down the stage when I see Jacob already waiting down there, he clutches my free hand and I try to adjust the cap on my head.

I thought we were walking up to our parents, but going towards the bleachers I thought he had some other idea.

"Jacob are you kidding me? Where are you abducting me to?"

"Babe, seriously abduction! You have to stop binge watching conspiracy videos!"

I laugh loudly and clutch his hands and make sure I don't slip and fall wearing the death causing pairs.

He makes me to sit on the plastic chair, he kneels in front of me. I was about to stop him as he was ruining his fancy pant.

It seemed like the pant was his least worry, cause he had some strange expression on his pretty face.

"Penny for your thoughts!"

"I got into UCLA!"

I had my mouth wide open, and literally silence overtook us. His earning eyes was looking up to me and I was just shocked and overwhelmed.

I breathe out, "Wow Jacob! Wow! That's great!"

He rolls his eyes and says, "Don't act Sav! I really know you inside and out! I know you are not happy!"

I couldn't correct him, I know I am the worst girlfriend but what to do, he is literally going to be miles away from me.

I got into Columbia few months back, I was ecstatic as it was Jacob wanted to go to NYU too.

But everything came crashing down when he didn't get accepted to it last week.

He was devastated and I was too. I didn't know whether to comfort him or to be sad along with him.

But now, here he is, got his second choice. It's clearly visible he is trying to hide his excitement behind his frown. Which he is doing it for me.

My heart swells at this gesture, but my mind starts thinking about long distance and the disappointment that follow for the next few years.

Sure, from the time we both met, it was problems after problems.

But after the cabin trip, our relationship was definitely in a better place. We started communicating better. Our love grew up so much. So now when I am looking at this boy who once sat in my living room.

Looking totally uninterested, is now looking at me and scanning each of my features intently.

I just catch his crisp collar and pull his face up and smash our lips together.
We kiss passionately, I try to put all my emotions and hidden words into the kiss.

When he both lean back for air, I place my head on his shoulder.

I breathlessly say, "I love you!"

He chuckles and says, "Definitely not the reply I wanted but it's much better!"

I smile and then regain my composure and say, "Jacob listen clearly, I really love you! I am so happy and proud of you! Even though you didn't get into NYU, you didn't sore down! You were strong and determined! I believe in you and I believe in our relationship too. Sure it's not going to be easy for the next few years. But our lives has always been like that from the beginning. Let's take this as another test to our bond. Let's prove to ourselves we will not be like the stories of long distance failed couple. What say Jakey? Wanna do this? With me?"

End on the line a sob leaves my throat. I see Jacob looking at me as if I have grown another head. But his eyes were so sincere. He says, "What have I done to get you Savannah? I am the most luckiest boyfriend in this world! Sure Sav, we are doing it! Love you so much!"

After saying this he crashes his lips and we sit there on plastic wobbly chair. Kissing and making out as it was our last.

*The last day of summer*

The night sky gazed upon us. Jacob and I was under the blanket in front of a wide bonfire with our friends and family.

Jacob tickles me as he puts his face into the crook of my neck. I smile and swat his head away.

My mom says, "Aw look at this two! How cute they are?" She laughs and hits my dad's shoulder.

He looks up and glares at us both. The thing is he is still a little skeptical about Jacob. I don't know why! These past few months he has been nothing but a gentleman.

Either way, I then turn my vision towards, The Browns.

They have been nothing but so sweet and open to me. Mr.Brown is my personal favorite.

He snuggles against Mrs.B who is now being the big spoon. They are the future I want to be. How carefree and cute they both are.

I start feeling feathery kisses on my neck and I turn to see a Jacob who is pretty aroused. From the feeling of his member poking me for the five minutes I was thinking how long can he hold it.

"Savannah what do you say? Can we go to our tent?" He whispers into my ears.

I chuckle and say him, "Wow I didn't know you wanted to get your balls chopped up?"

He suddenly comes out of the trance and his gaze falls upon my dad who has been shooting daggers at our position for a while.

Jacob suddenly gets up being still covered in the bedsheet he starts walking away.

I just shrug my shoulders and respond to all the questioning glances, "Nature's call!"

As the chill air passes by and I sit there quite freezing and mentally screaming at Jacob. My hearts soars and as I feel there is no other place or time I want to be. And I go closer to the fire and look up at the starry night, clutching my jacket more closer.

When I feel two arms with thick blanket cover me and pull me back. I snuggle closer and close my eyes as he holds me tight and whispers, "I love you Savannah!"
