Dakota

"Dakota, are all of your boxes in the truck?" Sabrina asks as she walks down the hall. "Yes Bri, they're in the truck." I say, seeing my bedroom one last time, which is now empty.

I'm so happy that Bri and I are finally moving back to New York. Ever since I was ten, I've been going back and forth from New Jersey to New York just to see my family and go to school. Bri wanted me to still go to school in New York with Char because it's a good school. On weekdays, I would either stay with Zach or Alexis, and on the weekends, I go back to Jersey with Brina. But what Bri doesn't know is that I sometimes spent my weekdays with my favorite person in the world, Gabby! He would always ask me how Bri is doing whenever I see him. I would tell him that she's fine and of course that she misses him, which is true.

It's hard only having fun with either Gabe or Bri. Even though I didn't live with Gabe and Brina that long when they were together, I miss when we use to hang out together like a family. It's also hard holding a big secret from him. Sabrina told me if I ever talk to him not to tell her.

I walk outside of our old home with the last little bit of my things. Sabrina was already in the car, waiting for me. I hop in the car. "Are you ready to go?" Bri asks. I nod. She starts the car and drives off.

Sabrina

It's been six years since I left New York and move to New Jersey, and a lot has happened. After going back and forth from New Jersey to New York picking up Dakota and running back and forth for meeting for the magazine, I've decided to move my magazine company to New York. After college, I modeled for a few magazine companies. When I came up with the money, I partnered with Adam and Alexis to get Love Magazine off the ground. Adam oversees the photography department, Alexis is the Columnist, and I'm the Editor and Publisher.

After driving for about an hour and a half back to New York, we made it to our new place. It feels good being back in New York. I missed the New York atmosphere.
