I think I'll update this book about one chapter a day. The reason why I'm doing more now is that these were short chapters. They will get longer. I hope you are enjoying this book so far!

I arrive home and notice a letter with my name on it. My breath hitches and I grab it and make my way to my room. I lay on my bed and rip it open quickly and look through it. Accepted into Glade music school. This didn't feel real. I had sat some exams for the school but I still needed to pass the instrument aspect of the selection process and I had been given a chance to do just that.

I should be excited,I should be screaming at the top of my lungs in joy. But I only had one thought going around my mind and that was Thomas. What would he think?

"You seemed in quite a hurry to get in-" my dad opens the door and I stuff the letter under my pillow. He sighs and walks in,sitting at the edge of my bed "you know we saw the letter Gracey,we didn't read it but we know who it's from and I think I know the response you got. You don't have to hide it from us."

"I got in," I say,like it was no big deal "don't get me wrong,I am so grateful and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world but..."

"But what?"

"I'm not ready to grow up. I don't wanna leave high school,or him."

"Thomas?"

"Yes." I realised I hadn't told them much about Thomas. Never mind,I could save the meet and greets until another day. "Dad.. Tell me what to do?"

"This is a fantastic opportunity for you Gracey. Everyone who wants the best for you would say so,Thomas would want this for you. I know you know that."

"He's right," my mum walks in "Grace you can't avoid this. This is your dream,right?"

"Yes,at least I think so. But... I can't think right... I need to go see Thomas." I grab my phone and the letter.

"Honey," my mum takes my hand "I don't want you to be scared. You are going to choose what's right and whatever you choose we'll support you. Just be strong,like you always are. Everything's up to you now. Everything."

I nod "I will. I hug her tight "I need to go clear my head,think things over." I smile at them before walking out the house. I ring Thomas and luckily he immediately picks up-

"Hey Grace."

"Hey. Can I come round for a bit?" I ask,not wanting to scare of worry him.

"Yes,of course. I'll see you soon?"

"Bye."

"Bye."

I quickly pace to his house and knock. He answers and I walk inside up to his room,I'd never been in here before- the walls were a comforting red but you couldn't see much of that as most of the walls were either took up by shelves containing CD's and Vinyls or photo frames with various prints and posters. I sit myself down on the edge of the bed and struggle for words.

"Grace," he leans down and takes my hands in his "is everything okay?"

"It depends," I say and pull out the acceptance letter from my pocket "just read it. Don't say anything until you're completely finished."
