"Garrett... what are we gonna do?" I looked up at Garrett, who had a perplexed look on his face, what could he be thinking about? Is he thinking of a solution.

"Brinley, why don't you just come with me?" He looked towards me, speaking sounding almost desperate for my answer to be a yes. I stared right into his eyes, realizing something else. Then I felt the way his hands held mines, tightly as if he was scared of letting go. Do I really want to let this go?

"Garrett, I-I don't know okay, I really have to think about it. What would I even study there?" The thought of me studying something that didn't have to do with art made me frown, I just wouldn't be happy.

But you'd have Garrett all the time.

"I'm sure you'll find something perfect for you, Maybe Psychology? You're very good with people." I sighed, I guess he isn't stopping anytime soon.

But Psychology? I actually never thought about it. Would I be a good psychologist? I really love people, but I actually never thought of studying something that had to do with people.

The more I think about it, the more interesting it sounds, can you imagine? Studying the human mind. How strangely it works. Is this the solution to our problems?

"Fine Garrett, I'll go with you-" of course I was about to add the infamous 'but' but before I could say anything, Garrett lifted me up and spun me around, I could see in his face probably the brightest and most genuine smile he has ever had.  Then again, before I could say anything else,  my lips got caught in a kiss stolen from the one and only. I'm not complaining though, the moments he does this are so rare I cherish them all.

"Garrett you didn't let me finish." A giggle escaped my lips after we had shared our little kiss. "I agree to go with you, but I have to ask my dad first and that's a pretty expensive place." 

"Don't worry, everything will be solved." With that, Garrett pulled me into a hug, planting a soft kiss onto my forehead, leaving me astonished. He really surprises me everyday.

How is it he was never sweet, not even a single bit. And now he is the sweetest guy ever? Maybe it's because it's his first time falling in love? This guy is too confusing for me sometimes. But I'm happy he finally feels comfortable to be sweet with me.

After our moment, we kept walking and talking about how life would be together if we went to Oxford, until we saw it was getting late, so Garrett took me home. We agreed I would tell dad and Ally as soon as possible about Oxford, which means that would be today. I don't even know how am I gonna do this. How will they take it?

I'm sure Ally would be happy because I finally found what I want to do with my life, and dad will say something like 'if it makes you happy, them go for it sweetie'. Yeah this will be good. There's no way they will say no, yeah I know it might be hard to pay for it but my grades aren't bad, I might even get half a scholarship. Who knows what might happen.

I went into the house, the lights were on, but there was no one at the living room. That's a bit weird, normally dad is watching TV and Ally is in the kitchen. I walked around the house until I finally found Ally and dad in Ally's room looking at one of mom's scrapbooks where she would save every picture she took at any moment of dad, Ally and I.

"May I join the party?" I smiled as I slowly walked into Ally's room, both looked up at the same time giving me a welcoming smile.

"Oh hey Brin, where were you all day? You went out without saying anything?" Dad gave me a worried look as he scooted over for me to sit in between Ally and him.

"Sorry dad, there was just something I needed to do. And actually, there's something I need to talk to you guys about. It's something very important." I was too anxious to sit at the moment, so I just stood in front of them, nervously fiddling with my fingers and anything I could touch. I could also see my anxiety being transmitted to them both. Alright, here goes nothing.

"I have finally decided what I want to do with my life, and what I want to study." I looked at Ally first, who had such a big smile on her face. Then I looked at dad, who didn't look as happy as Ally did, he looked rather a bit confused.

"But I thought you had already figured that out, you want to make art and have your own clothing line. What happened to that?" Was that actually important to him? I can't tell just by his expression.

"N-no, I want something else..." I stopped to take a deep breath, to calm my nerves a little, although it was definitely useless, since I was just getting more nervous. "I want to go to Oxford and I want to study psychology there, and once I finish, I'll come back here." I finally said it. I looked at their expressions, which showed pure shock. Is that a good or a bad thing?

There was a few moments of silence until I finally saw my dad get up, Oh God, he will say his answer now.

"Brin... Are you crazy?! How could you just change from one thing to another? Seriously? Oxford? That's like 8 hours from here. And let's not say how expensive it is, there's no way you're going, get that idea out of your head as soon as possible." With that, he stormed out of the room, leaving me and Ally behind.

Does that mean...

I can't go with Garrett...
