Going Away To College
Beginning
RACHEL'S POV
Scrolling through my facebook feed, I felt a sinking feeling as I noticed a post from Tony.

Second Warped date was amazing! Still can't believe we're actually doing this! Loving life :)
I stared at the photo for a while - they looked so different, but they looked so happy. I was proud of them to an incredible degree, but I missed them all so much. Trying to ease the pain, I scrolled down without liking or commenting. It wasn't long before I cam across another post.

The band & Rian, what a night!
With that, I clicked off Facebook. I couldn't handle it. I missed him too much, it was killing me. I shut my laptop and set it aside, turning to locate Beth. She was sitting on her bed in her pajamas, texting away.
'Something came in the mail for you,' she stated, noticing that I was looking at her. 'It's on the side there.'
Getting on to my feet, I wandered over to the envelope. I read over the lovely handwriting before carefully opening it.
Dear Rachel, it's me - it's Oli! I'm coming back to the states. I'm in a band (Bring Me The Horizon, check us out;)) and I'm going on Warped tour. I remember you always wanted to be a photographer and I was wondering if you were still into it? My band needs one and we don't want to pay (don't judge us). If you're up for it, hit me up on Facebook!
I hope the nightmares stopped. I was so scared of leaving you, I tried to sellotape myself to the fence! I was a weird kid. I'm doing good, I hope you are too. If there's a guy in your life, I want to know now mrs! I need to approve before anything happens. I hope things are going well for you though, seriously.
Missing you always, Oliver Sykes.
P.S.
I've left the scene phase, be proud of me!
Smiling uncontrollably, I plopped down on my bed and read over the message again. I hadn't seen Oli since he was in my elementary school and I hadn't spoken to him for around 4 years. I began to consider his offer - it would be a great opportunity It means I actually have a job. I get to travel! I get to see Oli. Fuck it, I'm going.
Grabbing my laptop, I opened Facebook up once again and typed his name into the search bar. Finding him, I clicked on his photo and gasped at how different he looked, earning me a look from Beth. Shrugging it off, I added him before sending a message.
Just got your letter. If the offer's still up, I'm in!
This is where it starts, I though, this is the beginning of my actual, adult life.My excitement was interrupted by a reply.
Awesome! You're looking good these days, buttface! Our next date is in Florida in two days. If you pack your things and fly over, I'll meet you at the airport! Can't wait to see you.
Grinning, I let my fingers dance across the keys as I decided what I wanted to do. Okay, sounds like a plan! See you in 48 hours '0!3 xD' ;P!
Don't use that, no! That part of me has been buried. Do not wake the dead, Rachel. Please. Haha, see you! If you need me.... 08643579754.
Time to pack, I smiled widely.
