Round 12: Summer 2017

Deacon Burrows is 52, Stella Harris is 53 and Finn is 12. 
(Elissa is 55, Josh is 12, Regan is 53, Rianna is 47 and Alexandra is 43.)

Narrated by Finn Harris

I was kind of worried that maybe my parents were getting divorced or something when I found dad sleeping in Liv's room. He woke up and said that he's got the flu and doesn't want everyone else to catch it.

Happy Birthday, Summer 2017

Janie Greene and Danny Cooper were quite shocked when they found out that Janie was pregnant. They're actually pretty happy about it now that they've gotten used to the idea of becoming parents.

Round 12: Spring 2017

Charlie Greene is 23.
(Bobbie is 66 and Brooke is 25.)

Narrated by Charlie Greene

I walked home from work in pouring rain. Of course I didn't have an umbrella.

Ambitions

Round 12: Spring 2017

Liv Harris is 19.
(Niall and Erin are 22.)

Narrated by Liv Harris.

Mom and dad gracefully allowed me to rent a house on campus. Dad was very reluctant at first but honestly, there really weren't any real rules at the dorm so it's not like I couldn't get myself in trouble there as well. Everyone else moved out so I didn't wanna live alone with the weirdos.

Round 12: Spring 2017

Janie Greene is 23 and Danny Cooper is 21.

Narrated by Danny Cooper

Janie and I rented a house together on campus. She got a job at the Dean's office although she's constantly looking for a job in the business world. So far living together has been great. We spent practically every moment together even when we were still living at the dorm so it's not that big of a change.

Round 12: Spring 2017

Erin Fielding is 22 and Iona is 5.
(Max is 61, Regan is 53, Toby is 25 and Liv is 19.)

Narrated by Erin Fielding

Toby and I have been dating for about a year now but we're still taking things slow. We haven't even slept together yet! We get to spend more time together now that Greg has moved back to Wellington and Iona spends some time at his apartment too. I usually ride the bus to Exmoor with Iona and then continue to Wellington where Toby lives.

Back for good

Round 12: Spring 2017

Greg Newman is 24 and Malia Kai is 21. 
(Erin is 22 and Iona is 5.)

Narrated by Greg Newman

I've come back to Wellington. The closer it came for me to leave, the harder it felt to leave Malia behind. I finally asked whether she would want to move to Wellington with me and she said yes. I probably would have stayed at the island if it wasn't for Iona but I just don't want to live so far away from her for any longer.

We rented an apartment in Exmoor. It's a bit pricey but Malia had some money of her own so we were able to pay the deposit without taking a loan. Our apartment is quite bare but the most important thing is that we have food in the fridge and a bed to sleep in.

Happy Birthday, Spring 2017

It's spring time and Phoebe Lind, née Vu, is just about to find out how painful child birth actually is. It's a good thing that her newlywed husband Samuel is standing behind her as he can't seem to keep that stupid grin off of his face.

Round 12: Winter 2017

Brooke Harper is 25.
(Amabelle is 62 and Charlie is 23.)

Narrated by Brooke Harper

I think my college professors would be very surprised to see how well my career is building up. I've left the horoscopes and obituaries behind and now I'm working as an investigatory journalist. I've been lucky but I've also worked really hard for the past two years. I managed to dig up a really juicy story about a settled basketball match and that was my ticket to a better position.

I sometimes work at home but I usually get distracted. Alexa is often online now that she's home with the babies so we chat quite often. I completely fell apart the last time I was home. I've kept everything inside for so long that it was bound to happen. I actually felt better afterwards and Alexa also gave me some good advice. I know I have to be the one to make the first move if I want to get Charlie back.

Misunderstood

Round 12: Winter 2017


Amabelle and Chase Harper are 62, Alexa is 25, Connor and Dane are 6 months and Will Monroe is 31.
(Brooke is 25.)

Narrated by Alexa Harper

Mom and Dad still act like newlyweds even after 40 years together. I think it's sweet and I hope that's how Will and I are going to be when we get to their age.
