Briar POV

I have made up my mind, and although it wasn't easy I have to leave the farm and move to Toronto. I have to leave my family for a long time, but we will be able to skype one another all the time. I have packed all my bags and they are sitting at the doorstep. I have three suitcases full of clothes and a huge makeup bag.

I am a little worried about Abbey. She doesn't have any friends here, and with dad still grieving she'll be more alone than ever before.

I walk around the corner see my father waiting to send me off. He is such a kind man at heart. I love him so much. He embraces me in a huge hug and we don't let go for at least two minutes.

"I love you, dad." I tell him.

"I love you too, Bri." He says.

"I'll miss you so much." I say.

"I'll miss you too. But this is what you have to do, and you'll be an amazing actor." He tells me.

"I hope so." I say.

We pull apart and I peck him on the cheek. The taxi pulls up outside our house, and the driver puts my bags in the car.

"Where is Abbey and Elliot?" I ask, suddenly.

I walk around the corner and I am met with both Abbey and Elliot ... kissing. I must me imagining things, right? I blink my eyes shut hard, and then open them again. They're still kissing though.

"What is this?" I ask, disgusted.

They jump away from each other and look at me, shocked. Abbey, is so worried. Elliot just looks relieved and almost happy.

"Bri, I am so sorry. He just jumped onto me ... " She trails off.

"Elliot?" I ask him.

"I can't do this anymore. I love Abbey so much. I don't love you, Briar. Abbey is telling the truth, I kissed her, she didn't kiss me." Elliot explains.

"You make me sick. How could you do this to me? I am your sister and your girlfriend!! I hate you." I shout, angrily.

Toot hoot

The taxi driver toots his horn, clearly wanting me to hurry up and get in the car. But I need to deal with this right now.

"Bri, I didn't mean for this to happen. I don't love Elliot. You know I could never hurt you like that, or betray you." Abbey apologises, frantically.

"Its okay, Abbey. I forgive you, I believe you. It Elliot I am angry with." I tell her.

"Like I said, I don't love you anymore. I can't help how I feel." Elliot says.

"There's no need to repeat yourself. I ignored you just fine the first time." I say, sassily.

"Can you just let me explain? When I first met you, you took my breath away. But that feeling has changed." Elliot explains.

"You know, I actually thought you took my breath away, but ... " I trail off.

"But what?" Elliot asks me.

"But I just realized that I was simply suffocating from all your bullshit." I say.

"Ugh. I'm telling te truth." He says, annoyed.

"You just cheated on me!" I yell at him. "With my sister!" 

Toot hoot

"My rides here, goodbye Elliot." I say and walk away from him.

I hug Abbey and get into the taxi. We drive to the airport and I get into the plane and I am on my way to Toronto. I am so glad I left my home. I need a new start, clearly.
