NINE YEARS LATER

Friday, November 7th
8:00 A.M. Los Angeles, California

Gwen's POV
I woke up to the sound of the tv in my room. I rubbed my eyes as I saw it was talking about the weather and other news. I rolled over in my bed and grabbed my phone. I looked through my notifications to see if I there was anything that needed to be answered right away. After I spent ten minutes on my phone, I got up and walked over to my bathroom and took a shower in the dark.

I've lived in Los Angeles for a long over nine years now, and I absolutely love it. The summer I first moved here my professor, Professor Kennings along with Noah, Geoff, and Patrick leaked my artwork online and the art community loved it. I was "famous" before my freshman year of college even started. With that I spent most of my college time writing. By the time Christmas came around my freshman year, I had people begging for my paintings to be put into their museums, my photography skills were actually good, and my writing was slowly getting recognized. Well it's almost nine years since I graduated and I'm twenty-six, I've written screenplay for a horror movie that Geoff produced and directed, my art work was extremely popular, and kids were learning my photography skills in schools today. Also my first very own museum is opening very soon.

I've stayed close with my first group of friends from college, and they were all great as well. Noah's a best selling novelist. Patrick's a beloved chef and owner of many restaurants around the world. Geoff is a very well known director of two extremely loved movies, has an on going show, and a documentary coming out in late December that's about his first movie. He's engaged to my best girl friend Bridgette from high school, they get married in late January. Alejandro is not only a male model, but an actor as well, he's plays of the main actors one of Geoff's show. He's also married to Heather, from my high school. Brandon is one of the youngest general surgeons ever, and is known for saving many of the lives of very famous people. All six of us live in the same neighborhood, and are still close with each other. In fact, every Thursday and Friday night we all sit on my couch and watch Geoff's newest episode. Tonight we were all having a little get-together.

       Things didn't end too well with Duncan a few years ago, the two of us...don't talk...ever I honestly hate him. After I finished in my shower I got dressed and then walked down stairs and saw both Noah and his fiancé, Cody. They both looked at me and I waved a bit. I walked into the kitchen, took my meds, and ate the leftover food from Noah and Cody's breakfast.

11:00 P.M. Ottawa, Canada

Duncan's POV
        I leaned back at my desk, in my very own tattoo parlor. Yeah I know my very own tattoo parlor. I still live in the same small town in Canada, because I love this place and my fiancée, Courtney Barlow. She was the girl that I accidentally bumped into at the courthouse eight-ish years ago. The two of us just kept running into each other, and we soon used that as a sign to go on our first date. It was perfect after that, our families already knew each other, it also turned out that the two of us went to the same school growing up and just didn't notice each.

Courtney and I aren't the most stable couple, but we truly love each other and are getting married this coming May. In fact we actually we recently sent out our wedding invitations. The only thing that sucks is that my siblings don't really like her, because they still want me to marry Gwen, but we had a....falling out, and we don't speak to each other anymore. I really miss her, but with the person she is now...I don't know if I could ever actually love her again.

Tonight my mother along with Colleen and Alec were planning some family dinner/get together for some reason. I had no idea who was invited, all I knew is that it taking place Tristen Rousseau's big ass house. I also know that it's been planned for months and my siblings, along with one of Courtney's brothers, and the Rousseau's will be there. I got a text from Courtney asking if I was busy as she just won a case. Yeah, Courtney's a lawyer, a trial attorney, whatever that is, in my defense we never talk about our jobs as our interests are in each other's jobs. We live together and...life's just great, I hope it never ends.
