I remember that day. I remember it like it was just yesterday. When I got a call saying that he was gone.

I knew it was coming but I just didn't know it would be so quickly.

Three weeks after I got to New York from Australia.

It just happened so quickly.

I never did keep contact with any of them. Not even James.

Carlos left me, we dated for a few months and then he just disappeared.

Now I'm here, in New York. On my own.

I'm surviving on my own. My own house. My own car. My own business.

I did all of this on my own. I bought this with my own money.

Everything happened so quickly. My creations started to get recognized.

I'm now one of the competition in the industry of clothing.

I became engaged last year and my wedding isn't for another ten months.

Let me tell you what has been going on in my life for the past five years.

For the first three months after leaving Australia i was depressed, depressed that I wasn't going to see him any longer.

For that whole year I blamed myself. My mind wasn't where it was suppose to be. Yeah I miss him still because he was my first love and everything.

Sometimes I wish I could see him one more time.

I wish I could turn back time to where I first met him. To change his person and my person. To get him help to treat cancer.

I didn't go to his funeral either. I couldn't say goodbye to him. I still can't. He was buried in Australia. That's where he was last. He flew back home for one week and that's where he said his last words and took his last breath.

Luke's in a better place now.

I have Johnny now. I met Johnny at a meeting for my clothing line. I didn't like him at first but then we became closer and closer and I felt a connection between the both of us.

I tried contacting James for the past few months but he won't answer my calls or messages. I see him tweeting all day long.

I miss them all, they were all like family to me. I didn't have anyone basically.

I don't speak to my parents either nor my sister.
The only one I still have contact with is Andrea and Jonathan. They've been to New York a few times.

I've been planning this wedding. I want everything to go perfect.

The dress will take about eight months to make.

I want the food to be perfect. The decorations.

I recently just got the invitations so I'll be delivering them to those who I can, or they will be personally delivered by some of my employees.

I wish I had James with me. I miss him to death.

I was reading some of the notes I had taken today during the meeting to be prepared with the new season. My phone starts ringing.

There's a number I don't know but I still answer it anyways.

"Hello?" I say.

No answer.

"Hello?" I say once again.

"Who is this?" I say annoyed.

"That's not important. I know who you are. We've been looking for you for five years and sweetie, this may be your last year so enjoy it"

I drop the phone.

I've been getting calls like this for the past few weeks.

I call Johnny immediately.

"hello?"

"John! They called again" I say while my whole body was shaking.

"Hold on, I'm on my way" he says hanging up.

I lock all the doors.

I close all the curtains.

-

Three days later.

Today was my meeting for the spring line. I was going to have my own show this years fashion week.

I was excited for that.

I've been working hard for this. This will be my third year to be part of fashion week.

I've also recruited my kind of models.

I was nearly done with the clothing. I just needed a few more to finish.

For a twenty three year old I'm doing good in this industry.

-

My life has been so busy. I need a break. I need time for myself but I'll do that after this show. It's important because lots of famous people will be at this show.

I feel someone's chin on top of my head. I smile and look up.

Johnny was smiling at down at me.

"Good morning" he kisses my lips softly.

"Morning, I made breakfast" I tell him.

"That's my girl" he laughs and walks to the kitchen.

I go back to my iPad where I was looking at some of the pictures of the clothes that were finished.

I know this is boring af. But I promise that the next chapter will be better.

This is just like a get to know the character chapter.

Love you guys
