(song for this chapter)

"Welcome To New York" by Taylor Swift

Walking through a crowd
The village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud
Heartbeats under coats
Everybody here
Wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadn't
Heard before
And it said

Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat
Forever more
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York

When we first dropped our bags on
Apartment floors
Took our broken hearts
Put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else
Before
And you can want who you want
Boys and boys and
Girls and girls

Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat
Forever more
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York (New York)
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

Like any great love it keeps you
Guessing
Like any real love
It's ever changing
Like any true love

It drives you crazy
But you know you wouldn't
Change anything anything
Anything

Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me
Welcome to New York
New soundtrack
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me
Welcome to New York
So bright
They never blind me
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

Hanna's POV

Spencer and Toby have been married for a few weeks now. I'm trying my best not to be jealous but it's hard watching them be so in love. Caleb loves me and I love him but our lives on opposite sides of the country. I'm moving to New York City and Caleb went back to California.

I'm only 18 and so are my friends. Aria already has a baby and Spencer is already married. For them it must feel like high school was years ago but for me it feels like the same few months that it has been.

I was in my room packing up some more things when the doorbell rang. I ignored it because I wasn't expecting anyone to come over tonight. My mom was home so I thought she would get it. A few minutes later I heard the doorbell again followed by a knock.

I went downstairs to see who was at the door and I found a note from my mom. Her boyfriend had called her and they were going out on a date. I opened the front door to find Caleb siting on my front porch.

"Caleb, What are you doing back in Rosewood?" I asked

"I wanted to spend your last few days in Rosewood with you." Caleb said

"Sorry for making you wait outside. If I had known it was you at the door then I would have opened it right away." I said

"I called and texted your cell phone Hanna." Caleb said

"I lost my phone. I had it a few hours ago. I got busy with packing for NYC and I lost it." I said

"Han, let me help you find it. When is the last time you knew for sure you had it?" Caleb asked

"Right before I started putting things in boxes Spencer texted me a picture of her and Toby. Rosewood PD had a summer barbecue with Rosewood FD, Rosewood med, city hall, and court house. Spencer went with Toby because her parents organized the event." I said

"Is it possible that you accidentally put your phone into a box with your things?" Caleb asked

"It's possible. My brain has been elsewhere the last few days." I said

Caleb helped me find my phone. Sure enough I had packed it into a box with my journal.

"How long have you been writing in this journal?" Caleb asked

"Since I graduated from Rosewood High." I said

"Do you mind telling me what's in it?" Caleb asked

"Not now but maybe someday I will tell you." I said

Caleb handed it back to me. It was a good thing he respected my privacy and didn't read it. I wrote some things about Caleb in my journal. Most of them were good things but some of them where things I didn't want Caleb knowing I thought this way.

"Do you want to go back to putting things in boxes or is there something else you want to do right now?" Caleb asked

"I think packing for NYC can wait. My mom's not home right now so we do have time for something else." I said

"Are you suggesting what I think you are suggesting?" Caleb asked

"Why not, we are together. I mean unless you met another girl in California." I said

"Hanna, I didn't meet anyone new but I do feel like we are drifting apart." Caleb said

"Don't you get it Caleb the reason we are drifting apart is because you chose to move to California." I Yelled

"When I first left Rosewood for Montecito my mom had cancer. I wanted to be with her for as long as I could." Caleb said

"Caleb, You never told me this why?" I Yelled

"I didn't want you to try and tell me to stay in Rosewood." Caleb said

"If I knew why you left Rosewood I wouldn't have been so upset when you left." I yelled

flashback/memory

"Hanna's it's not the end of the world?" Mrs. Marin said

"Yes, it is, He left me mom." I cried

"I'm sure Caleb had a reason to move to California." Mrs. Marin said

"Caleb hasn't called me back and it's been 10 minutes." I cried

"Hanna, get up out of bed and go to school. If Caleb doesn't call you back by the time you get home call him again." Mrs. Marin said

end of flashback/memory

"My mom's in remission now but I'm still going to stay with her." Caleb said

Regular sex turned into make up sex after our little fight. Afterwords I didn't want to leave the bed.

"Can you freeze time so we can stay in this moment forever?" I asked

"Han, I know phone and computer things but unfortunately I can't stop or turn back time." Caleb said

"Caleb please tell me you don't think we are still drifting apart." I said

"After that romance no." Caleb said

"We can't exactly afford a NYC apartment but you are welcome to visit my dorm room anytime." I said

"No matter how far apart we are Han, I'm only one call away." Caleb said

"As much as I love you a phone call isn't the same as us actually being together." I said

"Do you want to make dinner together or do you want me to take you out?" Caleb asked

"Can we just stay in this bed for a few more minutes?" I asked

A few minutes turned into an hour. Caleb and I were about to get out of bed and put our cloths back on when Spencer and Toby walked into my bedroom.

"Are we interrupting something?" Toby asked

"Your interrupting our privacy. How did you even get into the house anyway?" Hanna asked

"You left your front door unlocked." Spencer said

"I called and texted you Hanna to say that Spence and I were on our way over." Toby said

"Caleb and I have been busy so sorry for not checking my phone." I said

"We can see that." Spencer said

"Caleb told me he was going to be in town. I was wondering if you want two wanted to go out on a double date with Spencer and I." Toby said

"Last time we tried the double date thing between us it was a complete mess. We argued about the restaurant, menu, and everything else." I said

"You and Caleb can pick the restaurant this time. Please don't pick the brew because Toby and I eat there enough times." Spencer said

"Well Spence, we do live above the brew because it's convenient." Toby said

"That's not the only reason why I don't want to eat above the brew. I'm tired of Ezra asking us about Aria all the time." Spencer said

"Did you hear Spencer, Aria said the doctors told her that she can bring Jayde home by the end of the month." I said

"Aria told me that this morning. When Aria does get to bring Jayde home you and I are going to throw a welcome home party for Aria and Jayde." Spencer said

"Thanks for informing me but I will be in New York City by then and I don't plan on coming back to Rosewood until Thanksgiving." I said

"They opened up a new burger bar in Rosewood so we could try that or the Italian restaurant in downtown Rosewood." Caleb said

We decided to take a vote

"Italian" Spencer and I both said

"Burger place" Caleb and Toby both said

It was a tie. Caleb and Toby agreed to let the girls win so we ended up going to Luigi's. Rosewood had a nice downtown area with stores, restaurants, and even a historic movie theater.

*One week later*

I left for NYC today. Caleb was going with me to help me get settled in before he went back to California. Spencer and Toby where also going for a few days to help me move into my dorm room. For them this little vacation to NYC was like their honeymoon because they didn't go on one yet.

Spencer and Toby only stayed for 2 days. Caleb was spending the week with me. My roommate is a sophomore so she doesn't have to be here for Freshman orientation. I haven't met her yet but I know her name is Chelsea. The day Caleb left NYC was sad for me. He promised to call and check in with me as much as he could.

"Hanna, don't cry over this." Caleb said

"I wish you didn't have to leave." I said

"I may be leaving NYC for California but I'm not leaving you Han." Caleb said

"You promise not to forgot about me." I said

"I promise to never forget about you." Caleb said

Caleb and I had out goodbye kiss before he got on a plane in NYC to go back to California.

My dorm room is on the Campus of NYU because I am in the fashion program. I have regular classes at NYU and a few online through a different school in NYC.

*One month later - End of September*

My roommate is nice to me. She is not my BFF yet like Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Alison always will be. Chelsea has a 3 month old baby named Kelsey. Kelsey's dad is a senior at NYU and he is around to help out.

"How is the fashion program at NYU?" Chelsea asked

"It's fun but I miss life and my friends back in Rosewood." I said

"Last year I was on the NYU dance team. Then I got pregnant so now I switched from being a dancer to being a choreographer." Chelsea said

"I don't mean to ask you this but is there a chance that you could be pregnant again. I saw you throwing up this morning?" I asked

"It's possible. I'm not sleeping around or anything but I have slept with Kelsey's dad a few times since she was born." Chelsea said

I went with Chelsea to the drugstore and she bought a pregnancy test. We went back to the dorm room so she could take the test. It was positive meaning Chelsea was pregnant again.

"Can I tell you a secret?" Chelsea asked

"Sure, If it's ok for us to call each other friends." I said

"Kelsey's dad Jim and I eloped 6 months ago. My mom doesn't know but I feel like I have to tell her." Chelsea said

"It's going to be ok. One of my best friends married her high school sweetheart and she is only 18. They don't have any kids yet but if you love him then it's not that bad." I said

"That's the thing. I agreed to eloping because I was pregnant. My feelings for him went away after I found out he cheated on me." Chelsea said

That night I had a Skype call with Caleb.

"Can I tell you something that I have been wanting to tell you but I have been scared to say the words?" I asked

"Yes, I love you Hanna." Caleb said

"I'm pregnant." I lied

"Han, are you 100 percent sure?" Caleb asked

"I have the pregnancy test if you want to see it." I said

I showed Caleb the test. It wasn't my test but Caleb didn't have to know that.

"Han, I want to believe that you wouldn't lie to me but I talked to Toby and he told me about your plan." Caleb said

I stayed silent because I didn't know what else to say.

"Tell me the truth now Hanna or I'm breaking up with you." Caleb said

"Your right, It's all a lie and I'm sorry." I said

"I'm sorry to but Hanna that lie went way to far. I'm done with us." Caleb said

"Caleb, please don't break up with me." I said

"I need some time to think and then we will talk." Caleb said

"I love you Caleb." I said not realizing he already left the Skype call.

I cried myself to sleep and crying is something that I would be doing a lot now. Everything made me think of Caleb. Chelsea was there for me but she had her own problems to deal with.

Haleb broke up but they will be getting back together. Haleb getting back together will also mean a proposal that Hanna can't say no to. I think the next chapter will be about Aria unless someone gives me a better idea. Sorry for not updating this story in the last two weeks.
