*** Thanks for all the great reviews everyone! To answer some questions,
yes I did make Dawn a lesbian, because that's how I always pictured her.
Also, I am not writing about Shannon because I don't feel I know enough
about her to do so. BUT. by popular request here is Abby's chapter!
Abigail Stevenson-Cohen:
Abigail Cohen sat on the floor of her brand new living room unpacking boxes. Next to her on the floor playing was her 3 year old son, David and in a infant seat on her other side was Abby's four month old daughter, Sarah. Abby was getting a little bored unpacking box after box of clothes, kitchenware and baby toys, until she came upon some heavy, wrapped in tissue paper. "FRAGILE" it said in shaky handwriting on the tissue paper. Abby pulled off the tissue paper, and came upon something very familiar. It was jar. Inside the jar, among bits sand and crepe paper, was a candle. Abby remembered this candle well. It was the candle from her Bat Mitzvah, when she was 13. It was a friendship candle, dedicated to her sister Anna and all the members of the BSC. Inside the jar was also slips of paper where all of the BSC members had written their predictions for the future. Abby remembered hers, "I will have a sucessful career, be a great woman athlete and have lots of kids." So far, all of hers had come true.
The summer after 8th grade, Abby quit the BSC. It wasn't that she didn't want to be a member of the BSC anymore, but she wanted more time for school and sports. With all the free time Abby did have, she had time for alot more than just soccer and homework. Abby did alot of partying in high school, and ran with a wild crowd. Abby experimented with a lot of alcohol and pot. This slowly drove her apart from her sister, Anna, who was a straight A student and totally into her music. It wasn't until Senior year when Abby got serious about wanting to get into college and eventually law school that she began to straighten up her act. She was eventually accepted to the College of New Jersey, where she studied political science. She also wasn't far from Anna who was studying at Julliard in New York, so the two sisters spent many weekends together, and eventually grew closer.
Abby threw herself headfirst into her undergraduate studies, and finished with a 4.0 gpa, gaining her admittance to Harvard Law School. While at Harvard, Abby met Chaim Cohen, another law student. While Abby and Chaim were strictly friends at first, they started dating after 6 months, and two years later they married. Meanwhile Abby and Chaim relocated to Long Island, Abby's home because Chaim found work there as a partner in a brand new firm on Staten Island, and Abby worked as an assistant at local firm. A year later, Abby gave birth to their first son, David. Abby decided she wanted to experience every minute of motherhood, so she quit her job to stay at home with David. Three years later, Abby gave birth again, this time to a baby girl, Sarah. The couple decided that with two kids, they needed a larger house so they bought a four bedroom, still on Long Island. It was unpacking after this move that Abby found the jar.
"Wow," said Abby to herself "I can't believe I still have this,"
"Have what, hon?" asked a voice behind her
Abby whirled around. "Chaim! Hi honey, oh my..., you'll never believe what I found!" Abby told her husband the whole story of her Bat Mitzvah. Chaim smiled through the whole story, then took Abby's hand
"You know what you have to do, don't you?
Abby looked confused. "What?"
"Call them."
"Call who? The baby-sitters? I haven't talked to them in years!"
"CALL THEM" Chaim urged her
Abby sighed, then smiled. "Okay, I'll call them."
*** Stayed tuned for my sequel where they BSC reunites thanks to Abby's phone call!
