Massie walked quickly with luggage in both of her hands and her Gucci sunglasses on. She elegantly pushed the airport door open and stepped into the sunlight while managing to look like a movie star. She deeply breathed in the fresh air and took a glance around her as a smile formed on her lips. It felt good to be home.

Flashback
Massie was in her room getting ready for a party. It was going to be one of the last major all-out parties before school started up again in the fall. She was pumped to see Chase, her newest crush, and just let loose.
Her intercom system beeped and Inez's voice came over the loud speaker. "Massie, your Mom would like to speak to you in the family room." Massie pushed the speaker button and responded with an okay. She skipped down the steps and started to ask her mom what she need when she saw her dad.
"Daddy! What are you doing here?" she asked as she gave him a big-bear hug.
"Your mother and I have something we want to talk to you about," he said with a huge grin.
"Your father and I were talking and we didn't want to make this decision without consulting you…" Kendra started to say as she was about to go into one of her famous "rambles", but William cut her off quickly.
"We wanted to see if you would want to move in with me!" William exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" Massie yelled loudly as she jumped out of her seat on the couch.
"Well your mother was thinking of traveling with some friends and so we thought it would be great if you came to live with me. We haven't finalized any of the plans yet because your opinion matters to us of course...," William said calmly as Massie stood there wide-eyed with a hand over her mouth.
"Did you tell anyone about this yet?" Massie asked as she tapped her foot impatiently waiting for the answer.
"Well no since we didn't..," he said as his response was cut off by his excited daughter.
"Great! Don't tell ANYONE about this! I wanna surprise Dyl on the first day!! AHHHHHH!" Massie exclaimed as she jumped-danced around her living room. "I can't believe I'm going to live in Westchester!!!"
"Well I guess that's a yes," Kendra said as Massie ran over and gave her a big hug.
"DUH! Thanks so much Mom! I'll call you a lot and you should have fun on your trip!"
"You're going to be taking a plane two days before school starts to Westchester and of course your room is already decorated. I'll take Bean with me when I head back before you. Inez is going to be staying with us since your mom won't need her and since I can't cook," he said with a chuckle. "You can bring the clothes you want, but you can always go shopping when you get there for school."
"Thank you thank you thank you! I can't wait!" Massie exclaimed as she did her happy dance.
End of Flashback
She saw Issac waiting for her and started making her way toward the car. She had A TON of luggage and was struggling to carry it all when a pair of strong arms appeared out of nowhere and helped her lift her luggage.
"Let me help you with that," a voice said from behind her and she completely froze like an idiot. That voice had rung in her ear last summer when she laid in the grass with him. That voice had told her things that were totally untrue. His voice was sweet like honey and yet deep enough to be sexy. But it wasn't just his voice. He was GORGEOUS, a soccer player, and had made her feel special. But he had completely broken her heart.
"No!" Massie thought as she tried to take in deep breaths and find her inner strength. Yoga never had really been her thing so this method of calming herself down wasn't working. "You are NOT going to go through this again! You are still the same girl, but A LOT stronger and he WON'T have the same effect on you again. You know how he works and you are not going to fall into his spell again! He is JUST another player!" The pounding of her heart, which was loud and staccato-y, had slowed down tremendously. She was able to take in deep breaths and was thinking clearly again. She would not fall for his crap this time through.
She slowly turned around to observe how he looked and…
