"Stella, sweetheart, wake up. Let's go somewhere & go shopping." MacKenzie shook her awake.
While stretched and asked groggily, "Hmm, how long was I asleep?"
MacKenzie looked at the clock then back at her, "For about an hour and a half."
"Oh damn, I didn't know I was that tired to sleep that long."
"Well, you must have been because as soon as your head hit the pillow, you were out." MacKenzie smiled.
"Now come on, I want to get some food to snack on while we're hanging around the hotel." Madison begged.
Stella then got up and got changed. Once they were ready, the girls climbed into Stella's car and went to the local grocery store.
"Stella Grace is that you?" A guy named Tony Baker asked.
She turned around upon hearing her name, "Yes, I'm Stella and you are?"
"Oh man, I'm hurt." He put his hand on his chest, "You don't recognize me? It's Tony Baker, your cousin."
"Oh my God Tony?" She shrieked as she hugged him.
"How have you been?" He chuckled as he hugged her back.
"I've been good and you? Sorry I didn't recognize you. You've changed so much."
"I'm doing good here also. And it's okay that you didn't recognize me. Yeah, I've changed a lot but you on the other hand haven't changed at all."
"The only thing that's changed on me, is my attitude." Stella smirked.
"Very awesome, anyways, have you seen your brother yet?"
She shook her head, "No, I haven't seen anyone yet except for you. No one knows that I'm back in town."
"Ah okay, well Aiden and me live in the same house now. You have a piece of paper and I'll jot down the address for you."
She nodded and reached into her purse, pulled out her little notebook then handed it to him after she opened it to a clean sheet of paper.
"Here you go."
He took it and started writing down the address, "So, you still living in New York or did you move?" He asked and handed the notebook back to her.
"Yeah I'm- wait how'd you know I went to live in New York?"
"Come on, we're family, I know what happened. Plus I overheard your parents talking. That's where I heard where they sent you."
"Oh, right, well can you please not really talk about that."
"Yeah of course, I'm sorry. So who are your friends here?" He asked pointing behind her.
"Oh, oops, sorry. Tony this is MacKenzie and Madison Bradley. Girls, this guy here is-"
"Tony Baker, I'm Stella's cousin." He smiled, cutting her off.
"Hi, nice to meet you." Both girls said to him.
"Nice to meet you girls too but hey I've got to go. I've got a date tonight. Hopefully I'll see you again." He winked then walked off.
"Oh damn, he is hot." Madison exclaimed.
Stella giggled, "You're not the only one that thinks that. He was a high-school jock & the girls were always swooning all over him."
They finished their shopping so they went back to the hotel and dropped their stuff off.
"Hey girls, I'm going to drive around to see places I used to go." Stella told them.
"Woo, can we go?" Madison asked.
