I was up early that next morning and already in EPCOT by the time Scott, Mitch, and Malone got up. My friends: Kacy Harper, Jeffory Murphy, and Jonathan Humphry were helping get everything ready. We were planning on setting up the tables, chairs, and stage. I looked up from arranging flowers on the last table and saw Scott, Mitch, and Malone approaching. I ran to them and practically jumped into Scott's arms. After hugging each of them tightly I remembered something. Kirstin!

Me: What about Kirstin?

Scott: She's with Kevin and Matt.

I relaxed slightly and then looked directly at Scott.

Me: How are we going to get her here?

Scott was quiet for a few moments but when he looked up, Mitch was the one to answer my question.

Mitch: What if you called her and acted as if something happened. Like maybe Jessica?

He held his hands up making the four of us laugh but then I frowned unsure if that would be a good idea.

Me: Are you sure that's a good idea?

Scott placed his arm around my shoulders being very careful not to hurt me. His blue eyes were gentle but I saw something else there. What is that? I wondered.

Scott: Of course, it's a good idea. It'll get her here quickly and besides, she will forget the phone call as soon as she sees this place. Trust me.

Malone: Kailyn, did you get the pictures?

Me: Yep! And Kacy is putting everything together at Hollywood Studios. I got the other gifts and she wrapped them for me. So that means just a few final preparations. Other than that we are ready!

Scott: She is going to love this. You planned it all out beautifully, Kailyn!

I smiled slightly as I met Scott's blue eyes. I looked around the area and then nodded as I actually realized that this looked absolutely amazing.

Me: Really? I tried my hardest to get this to be this perfect. Although it was mostly Malone who handled all of this.

Mitch: You did great, whoever planned or handled it. Is there anything that needs to be done today?

I remained quiet for a few heartbeats as I looked around the place. The tables looked beautiful. I then shook my head in response to Mitch.

Me: Nope! We can spend the day with Kirstin!

We walked into my house 20 minutes later and Kirstin was still asleep. Kevin, who was in the chair beside the couch where Kirstin was asleep against Matt, stood up immediately and walked over to me. He pulled me into a hug.

Kevin Olusola: Hey Kailyn! How are you doing?

Me: Good. What are you doing here?

My voice rose in excitement at seeing my friend. Scott was just smiling at us as I met Kevin's brown eyes.

Kevin: Well celebrating that queen over there.

He motioned to Kirstin, who was still asleep against Matt. I smiled as I walked over and sat on the other side of her. Without much hesitation, I leaned against her and quickly fell asleep.

When I woke up Kirstin had pulled a blanket over me. I felt the warmth of her hand on my arm as I sat up. Her brown eyes were bright and she looked much more like herself.

Kirstin: Did you sleep well?

Me: Yeah, what time is it?

Scott: 4:30

I slept that long! We got home at 10. I knew I fell asleep but didn't know how long.

Kirstin moved her hand from my arm to my back. I smiled slightly but then was still surprised that I slept so long.

Kirstin: It's okay Kailyn. You needed the rest. I slept later this morning than I had intended to.

Her tone was almost cheerful as if she didn't have a reason for why she had slept later. I winced as I went to stand up. Kirstin gently forced me back down and Mitch got my supper. Okay, I had to admit. I enjoyed having them in my life. I settled back in next to Kirstin and I was content that I was not going to do anything else today. Kirstin was right, I did need to rest. I had been working super hard on this party when my body wasn't back to normal and I'm still recovering from the accident. I tend to be content, but this is completely different. I have never felt content with someone before. Now I knew that I never wanted Kirstin to leave.
