CHAPTER 1 -New beginning

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together - Marilyn Monroe

_______________________________________________________________________

"Ah, I can't believe our summer vacation ended so fast. It seems like it just started yesterday." Blair exclaimed, while we all were lying down on Jess's bed.

"Yeah, I don't want to go to college so soon." Jess complained.

"I don't want to leave you guys." I pouted.

I really don't want leave my friends and my family, which only includes my dad as Sage's gone to college as well. But I guess, I have no other choice, I can’t stay in high school forever. It's time to go to college, to explore the real world The world we have seen so far is not real, it's a world seen from a teenager's point of you, it was childish and full of foolish imagination. We see the world from a different view when we grow up because then we know that it's not what it seems to be. It's a total different place for us because we have to face our fears alone. Of course our families are with us in this, but still we have to learn to do our things by ourselves and stand out tall in the world.

Gosh, I have grown so dramatic in these vacations. Got to do something about this or I'll end up making zero friends in college and that would be a nightmare.

"Come on guys, we can't stay like this forever, we’re leaving tomorrow, we have to do a lot of packing." Jess stood up and exclaimed.

I and Blair followed her action.

"But I am not leaving tomorrow." Blair said. Yes, she isn't. She applied for an art school and got easy enrolled in but her class are going to start from next week, not in my and Jess's case, our classes are beginning from day after tomorrow. It's not actually class but just the orientation.

"But you will one day so let's get your lazy ass home and start." Jess said and went inside her walk in closet.

"We're leaving Jessy. Bye." I greeted and took an exit with Blair.

"Bye Jess."

"Bye guys, I'll meet you tomorrow okay?" Jess yelled from inside.

"Sure."

Ah, I can't believe I just have a few hours to move out.

-

"Dad, I am home," I shouted, keeping my keys on the table and jumping on the couch.

After a few minutes, dad came out of his room and sat next to me.

"Dad, I don't want to leave you." I pouted, hugging him tightly. No matter how irritating my dad becomes sometimes but he's still the best father in this whole freaking world and I love him a lot, more than anyone can imagine.

"But you have to Princess." dad rubbed my head and returned the hug.

"What if I don't?"

"You have no choice; you're the one who's going to handle the company after me. Don't you remember when both of you were little, Sage always used to refuse to take over the company because she thought it's boring but you ever the one who begged me to give you the company as from your point of view, it's a work that will give you tons of dollars."

I chuckled and said,"Yeah, I remember that. When Sage refused to take the company, I was so damn happy that I throw my toy toward the ceiling and then it came down at my head. And that's the moment she began to call me Bozohead."

Dada chuckled with me and kissed my forehead,"You kids have grown so fast."

"Dad, it took me eighteen years to turn eighteen and nineteen years for Sage to turn nineteen, we grew up at a normal rate. I am not Renesmee Cullen." I joked.

Dad pulled away from the hug and narrowed his eyes, “Who’s that?"

"No one." I smiled and hugged him away, not trying to destroy the precious moment. My dad is crazy about learning everything about everything and it results in making him a addict of that, let’s not make him a Twihard.

We stood there in that position for a few seconds and then I heard Marie's voice,"Aww, let me get a camera."

We chuckled at her and she came back with her camera and began to click our pictures.

I was laughing with my full heart the whole time. I know I am going to leave tomorrow morning but thinking about that will make me feel depressed and will result in destroying this moment as well, so I let it pass. I am going to miss them all so much. Dad will go so lonely in the house but the good thing is that he doesn't really stay in because of the business trips so I hope it won't be so difficult for him. And the best thing, I am going to the same college where my dad and his dad went. Isn't it great? I will miss my friends as well but we all have to make our careers as well.

"Okay, enough with the photo session, let's go to bed everyone. You have to leave early tomorrow Jade, you need rest, go." dad hugged me and kissed my forehead again. Ah, I am going to miss it as well.

"Yeah, dad. Good night." I said and turned around to leave when dad's voice called,"Hey kid."

I turned around and asked,"Yeah dad?'

"I am going to miss you."

After hearing this, I couldn't control my tears and emotions. I ran to him, tears falling from my eyes and hugged him tightly.

"I'll miss you more dad."

"No, I will miss you more." he fight back. I could sense he was trying back this a little light so I joined him.

"But I'll miss you the most." I said.

He chuckled and said, “Now, sleep. And don't worry, college life will be great. I went to the same one and I had a great time there. Plus, I can meet you quite often there as I visit the place a lot due to business trips."

"Oh yes, I totally forgot about that. That would be fun then. Good night dad, love you."

"Love you too Princess." he said and went into his room.

I changed into comfortable clothes and got into the sheets.

I remember almost an year ago, all I wanted was to go to college as soon as possible. I was getting hyper to finish this year and enter in but now, I don't want to go there. I know it will be fun, a new experience and will help be grow mature. I knew I a would go to the same college as dad from my diaper days and I was excited to do so but just because of one thing, all my hopes and excitement is vanished away.

I am still happy that I going there but was even happier an year ago, when everything was normal between us. Just one evening and boom.....everything changed.

I know he's going to be there and that's why I don't want to go. I wanted to experience this college life with him but everything's not the same as it was before.

I was brought back from my wonderland by the sound of my phone's message notification. I stretched a little to grab my phone from my nightstand. Who would have messaged me so late?

I opened the message with checking the contact and it read:

Sleeping baby doll?

It's ought to be Dillan.

I pressed the reply button and typed:

Me: No idiot! Who the hell sleeps at one?

Dillan: Okay, Queen of sarcasm. But you should be sleeping; we have to leave at six to get there on time.

Me: I know, I know. But why did you messaged?

Dillan: Just to check on you. Now go to sleep and be ready at 5:50am. You know I hate to wait baby doll. ;)

Me: Yeah, yeah. Night, now let me sleep.

Dillan: Night buttercup.

I shook my head and stretched to place the phone on the nightstand again when it glowed, indicating a new message.

Don't dream too much about me Blossoms! :*

Ahh, the same Dillan.

When the senior year began, I was surprised to see that Dillan, the guy I met during the polo match, has taken admission in the same school as me. I was really disappointed at first because I knew what kind of a big flirt he is, but as the time passed, I saw his real self and believe me, he's pretty awesome. We've been very close friends, though I have only spent an year with him but it seems like we're childhood friends. He has been with me throughout it all, even at the worst part of my year. He knows almost everything about me and the same goes with me, I guess. It's nice to have friends like Dillan who can make you laugh, understands you and hate the stupid drama.

Knowing that he's Ashton's brother made me feel a little awkward as Ashton's in the same college as Ryan. But Dillan never mentions anything about anyone of them. It's like he doesn't want to hurt me.

"Ready Princess?" dad asked, while I was coming down with my bags and other stuff.

"Whoa, yes, I guess I am."

He patted my back and we went outside.

I saw that Dillan was already here, along with Jess, Blair and Marie. Ah, they're going to make me cry.

"Here, let me load this in the car." Dillan said, taking my backs from me but then exclaimed,"Shit, what have you brought in this Jade? Dumbbells?"

I widened my eyes at him and said, “It’s just a few pairs of clothes, nothing else. Now stop throwing tantrums."

He muttered something under his breath and walked to the car.

"Good bye sweetie. Just remember that if anything happens, I am just a phone call away. Call me and I'll take the first flight and come to you. Alright?" dad said, hugging me tightly.

"Yes dad." I chuckled, returning the hug.

Blair ran to me and gave me a bear hug, followed by Jess.

"Ah, can't breathe." I yelled, chuckling.

"We'll miss you Jady." Blair said.

"Take care Jade."

"And don't forget to call us when you reach there."

"And tell us about the cute college guys you met there." Blair teased.

"Uh *cough* my dad's *cough* stand *cough* standing *cough* right there." I said with many coughs.

"But you already have a cutie by your side." Blair smirked and winked.

I narrowed my eyes at her and asked, “Who?"

She pointed toward Dillan who was busy in loading the bags. I slapped Blair's arm and said,"I don't see him like that."

"You don't see him like that 'yet'. Things can change Jade. And promise me something, you will try your best to move on him and find someone better. You can't always stay alone." Jess spoke.

How can I tell them that it's not that easy, it's not even close to easy.

I looked over to Dillan and saw that my dad was telling him something and he looked pretty serious. Wow, Dillan and serious? That's something new.

I shook my head as a yes and walked to the car. As I and Dillan are going to the same college, we decided that we'll carpool and go together. According to him, it'll be fun. According to me, it's not.

"Okay, everyone, bye." I exclaimed and got into the car, followed by Dillan.

"Call us when you get there."

"We'll miss you."

"Take care Jady."

"Call us."

After all the similar sentences, Dillan drove outside the house's driveway and we were ready to go.

Ah, I miss them already. I hate goodbyes.

"What was my dad telling you?" I asked the blue eyed boy sitting next to me.

He turned to me and made a gaging face, “To not to try anything on you or he'll kill me and feed my skin to dogs."

I gasped and then began to laugh, “Sorry about that."

He rolled his eyes and grabbed his attention to the road again.

So, this is it.... I am finally going to college!

********

Short and terrible!

It was just the first chapter so I wasn't very full of ideas.

I am sick and on meds so I may be talking nonsense. Sorry about that! :)

On the side, is Dillan Mercer! Isn't he handsome? ;p I truly think he is! :)

And in case you guys forgot, Dillan is the guy Jade met during the polo match in the first book. He's also Ashton's little brother! :)

QUESTION TIME:

Who's more handsome? Ryan or Dillan?

Hope you liked it! :)
