A few weeks after we found out everyone at school supported us; we received our acceptance letters to the University of Seattle. Edward was taking his pre med and I was taking English Lit and History Majors. We had decided that we both wanted to stay close to home, but the community college in Port Angeles didn't offer Edward's Premed or allow me to take my double major.
Today was grad day.
Renee had all of us move into the Cullen household last month. I was sitting on the counter downstairs, in my suit and drinking coffee. Alice was upstairs helping Renee get ready while Edward was getting himself ready. Bella was sitting with me at the table in the kitchen.
I was nervous as hell and scared to shit of what the future will bring.
"Oh Jasper" Bella muttered as she stood and came to wipe the tears that were sliding down my face. I was really upset about leaving. I'd miss the girls; I was going to miss forks. I chuckled mentally at that thought. Edward and I were being forced to stay in separate dorms and we couldn't afford to get an apartment. With the amount of work both of our degrees' were going to demand from us, we didn't have the time to work to be able to afford an apartment. That was the same reason we weren't going to be able to spend a lot of time together. I missed him already.
Alice came down the stair and saw me, she turned around silently and I heard her bellow "EDWARD!" From the bottom of the stairs.
"Yes Alice?" He yelled back.
"Jasper" She responded and I heard his feet pound down the stairs.
He came into the kitchen so fast Bella barely had him to let me go before I was wrapped up in Edward' arms.
"Jasper, baby?" He whispered.
"I'm scared"
Edward sighed. I'd been a mess since we received our acceptance letters, and dorm information. My course load and book list was over whelming, and I burst into tears when Edward told me where his dorm was. So this was a normal thing lately.
"Jasper, we'll work together in the library, and spend our weekends together. We'll eat dinner together and watch a movie once a week. We'll be okay baby. Please stop worrying so much."
He wiped the remaining tears from my face just as Renee and Carlisle came into the room.
Renee sighed and Carlisle rubbed my back. I sniffed and smiled.
"It's time to go"
Edward helped me off the counter, and held my hand.
The ceremony was beautiful, and when they played Graduation from Vitamin C, I started crying. Edward was way up in the front and me at the back as we were seated in alphabetical order.
When they let us go, I just sat there in my seat. Carlisle was the first to get to me and he pulled me into a fatherly hug. Edward was next to me an instant later caressing my face while his father hugged me.
"I'm so proud of you both" Carlisle whispered to us. I just cried harder.
I managed to calm down enough for pictures, they were difficult.
Dinner was amazing and Edward didn't want to stay for the dance. We ended up heading over to a party at Jessica's Acreage.
We all hung around, away from the fire. Jessica knew that we were coming, so she set up her living room for a place for all of us to hang. She also kept the fire in the yard near the stream at the very back of her property, that way we could roam around outside.
Edward and I tuck with each other, and drank a little too much. But we were okay. Alice was wasted and Bella had a few drinks. I ended up calling Carlisle to come get us. Renee came and drove Edward's Volvo home, much to his displeasure. I tried to carry Alice to the car, but was unsteady on my feet, so Edward took her, and I limbered behind them. I fell asleep in the car, and Edward nudged me away. I went up to bed, and Edward followed after he put Alice in her bed. I was asleep before he entered the room.

Okay Guys. I kind of skimmed over the grad ceremony and the party. They're fun when you're doing it, but you're usually to drunk to remember the after party. And the ceremony is freaking boring. So I skimmed. Hope it all works out for you later.
Thanks guys!
