Two Weeks Later:
Isabelle- You close?
Milena pulled up to the curb to her new dorm building. She sees Isabelle standing next to a giant pile of her stuff on the pavement on her phone, while a bunch of other college girls struggle to carry their things into the building.
With her phone held to her ear, Isabelle spots Milena, and grows a giant smile on her face. She put her phone down, and walked up to the car.
“You ready?” She asks Milena.
“I guess.” Milena responds, popping the trunk of her car open to reveal the rest of her stuff that wasn’t exploding in the back seat.
Isabelle walks to the back to take her things out.
“Thank the lord we got into the same college.” Milena came around the car and gave Isabelle a big hug.
“I know right. But it just doesn’t feel right to be… Here… You know?” Isabelle explains to Milena.
Milena takes in a giant breath and nods her head, letting out steam.
“At least you get to see Madison now.” They both start to unload Milena’’s stuff next to Isabelle’s.
“I don’t know, Isabelle. I haven’t answered any of his calls or texts. Do you really think he’d want to see me at all?”
Isabelle took in a big breath, biting her upper lip. “You’re right. Sorry. I shouldn’t be bringing him up.”
“Do you girls need a roller?” A lady with a clipboard and whistle around her neck came up to them dragging along a big rolling thing - like at hotels.
“That would be great thank you!” Isabelle took it from her, giving her a smirk.
They started to put all their stuff on it, and rolled it up to their new college dorm room.

After settling down, the girls plopped down on their newly made bed that were right across from each other with a tv finally working in front of them.
“Who knew setting up a tv took so much work.” Isabelle said. She reached her hand down to check her phone, and with no surprise she had two new text messages sent from the past hour.
-How many times do I have to tell you. I’m sorry
-Please answer me back
These texts weren’t as bad as usual. Most of the time Isabelle would get death threats, or threats towards her family. And these were coming all from the one and only Gus. He has been texting her everyday with something new to say, but never got a reply back.
Milena and Madison are a different story. Madison stopped trying. He texted her and called her everyday for the first week they had left California. But after a week without notice, Madison all of a sudden stopped. Which made Milena cry herself to sleep even more.
Both girls were hoping they could get better together at college. The only problem is that it is only an hour away from the retirement stay.
Walking through the hallways around dinner time, the girls walk back to their dorm. Turning the corner, the girls accidentally bump into a hard chest that was running but not standing over the girls that fell to the ground.
"Whoa! I'm so sorry. Are you girls okay?" His voice throws out. The girls look up and Isabelle recognizes him after second glance.
He seemed to know who she was too after the spark showed in her eyes.
