Hey guys, I just wanted to say how sorry I am that I haven't updated for such a long time and the reason is because I have been super busy with school and stuff. And also that I have been working on this super long chapter that I have decided to post a four or five separate ones so save you from waiting for any longer.

A/N: Because I live in England, I'm using my own knowledge of English universities for this chapter and maybe others along the way. I'm also only fourteen, so most of this is made up. For instance, in order for this story to work, Rocky, Ty, Dina, Deuce, and Cece all got into the same college. While this not completely impossible, it is very unlikely. If this causes any confusion, I'm sorry.

No one's PoV

Rocky, Dina and Ty had been in the car for at least ten hours when the clock struck twelve in the morning.

They had to be at Boston by five in the afternoon and if the traffic held, they would make it with ten minutes to spare.

Ty was driving. He wasn't that tired from the night before and so he was humming to the radio. Dina and Rocky were in the back seat. Dina had her head phones in and Rocky was reading 13 reasons why.

When they stopped for a lunch, Dina and Rocky caught up on what they had missed over the years.

Dina had gone through a lot as well. After Rocky left, her parents broke up and she was forced to choose between her mother, who was going to live in Brazil or her father, who was staying in Chicago. She had chosen her father in the end but he ended up becoming a drunk. Dina had been forced out of the house every Friday night while her dad did who knows what!
This was why she had spent so much time with Ty. They had both met up each week in a special spot in the woods. They would talk and laugh for those precious three hours.

After a few weeks, Dina had decided to allow Deuce into the secret. After all, he had also lost the love of his life. So, it had been three of them.

No one knew what had happened when Deuce asked Cece out. Ty had gone ballistic in anger and Dina had just felt betrayed. Deuce had completely changed and not for the better. The spot had been moved and Dina and Ty had continued seeing each other every Friday night.

This had brought them closer than ever and one night, Ty had asked her out. Dina hadn't said yes immediately, but when she did, she hadn't regretted it.

They had become an official couple from then on. Everyone at school had been in full support. The news had spread faster than a forest fire.

And like the paparazzi, it went places it wasn't wanted. Dina's father had not taken the news well. It had taken a lot of respect and presents to calm him down and agree to give Dina away.

"It sounds like you're going to get married!" Rocky commented at this point.

"My father would never allow that!" Dina replied before continuing.

Finally, the students from the John Hughes high school graduated and they went their separate ways. Most took a gap year first and Ty was no exception.
But he wanted to take his year traveling with his girlfriend. So, Dina dropped out of school a year early and they travelled the world with each other and ended up having a romantic night in Paris.

When they returned, Dina found out that her father had died and she had missed the funeral. She went to stay with her mother and was forced to break up with Ty. She planned to stay with her mother until she turned eighteen. But she spent months mourning for her lost father. Finally, Mrs Garcia told her daughter to leave the house and go to college. Dina had applied to Boston University. Unknown to her, Ty had done the same. They met each other again on an open day. They had got back together and Dina had decided to stay with him until she got they left.

When results day came around, they both got in and were lucky enough to get accommodation near each other.

Today would be the first day as a freshman.

"Really?" Rocky asked as they returned to the car to finish the final leg of the journey. "You guys went through all that while I was in England?"

Dina nodded.

"That makes my life sound boring!"

"No way little sis" Ty said from the driver's seat. "You learnt how to do fifty one-armed push-ups. That's darn impressive!"

"Thanks Ty" Rocky smiled. "But all I did in England was work out and wait for Logan to get back from his drama school.

"Really?" Dina queried, "You worked out every day, but you still look normal?"

"Yes, really!" Rocky giggled. "I know it is hard to believe but I wanted to be able to stand up for myself. I took self-defence classes at night when Logan was asleep."

"Why?" Ty asked.

"Like I said, I wanted to be able to stand up for myself. If Logan ever hurt me again, I wanted to teach him a lesson. Luckily, he never did and after my eighteenth birthday, I told him and he was cool with it."

"Wow. Ty, you were right. Logan did change!" Dina exclaimed. "I'm sorry I got him arrested."

"That was you?" Rocky cried.

"Yes. And I'm really sorry about it all. But at the time, Deuce and I thought he was a gun-wielding, abusive maniac!"

"It's OK" Rocky sighed. "Even though he did change, he still would have gone to prison for what he did before"

"Well this conversation is taking a dramatically distressing downturn" Ty butted in. "Are you guys ready for Freshers week?"

"Heck to the yeah!" Dina yelled. Rocky grinned.

"I wonder how many pranks they're going to play on us!" She wondered.

"I hope not that many" Ty murmured. "I want to start my college years well!"

"I'm looking forward to all the parties." Dina said. "I get to make tons of new friends."

"I bet I'll make more than you!" Rocky beamed.

"You're on!" Dina agreed.

"Yo, Sis" Ty called from the driver's seat. "Have you got your accommodation sorted out?"

"Yeah" Rocky nodded. "I'm room near campus with four flat mates. There's an Oscar, who's Scottish and studying History, Ingrid, who's Mexican and studying Geography. Then there's Gunther. I couldn't find anything about him other than he's taking a literature course."

"That's great!" Ty said.

"Yeah, I can't wait to meet them. They sound cool" Rocky agreed.

"You found all that out in then ten hours so far we've been in the car?" Dina asked incredulously. "It took me weeks to even get accommodation, let alone find out who I was sharing with!"

"It's probably because she applied so late." Ty suggested.

"Yeah" Rocky confirmed. "I was lucky to get a place so near campus. Heck, I was lucky to get in at all"

That's it for today. I'm goanna try and update the rest of this huge chapter some time in the next week. Stay Tuned!
