**ANNAS POV**

"Hello, earth to Annabelle!" Bethany snapped her fingers in front of my face pulling me from my daydream. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and then focused my attention on her.

"Yeah sorry I just kind of zoned out." I let out a forced laugh and she arched her eyebrow at me.

"Are you okay? You seem to be zoning out a lot lately." She asked genuinely concerned. She was right I had been mentally escaping a lot. I would think about that day with Melissa and images would come flooding back and for the most part I was okay. I don't regret what happened because I knew deep down that if she didn't die she would keep coming back for more and eventually things would get so bad that me or my family or even friends would be her victims.

"Yeah I'm fine. Sorry." I apologize and try to give her my best fake smile, which she didn't buy.

"You can talk to me Belle. What's going on?" She asked as she took a seat beside me on my bed.

"It's just the whole thing with Melissa-" I started to explain and she instantly cut me off.

"Don't feel bad for doing what had to be done!"

"No it's not that. I don't feel bad, I just can't stop picturing it. I know over time it will fade away but it's only been a few weeks and still feels so fresh ya know?" I explained and she nodded in understanding.

"Don't beat yourself up about it though. It took a strong person to do what you did. Now your little family is safe and that's all that matters." This time I actually gave her a real smile because I knew she was right. I felt safer and more at ease now knowing that Melissa was no longer around to make our lives a living hell.

"You're right thank you Beth." I wrapped my arms around her neck squeezing her tightly in appreciation.

"You're welcome, you know you can always talk to us girls about anything." She whispered and I squeezed her tighter making her giggle.

"Now on to a lighter subject, we need to go bridesmaid dress shopping!" She squealed and I was relieved because I knew that would take my mind off of everything.

I had asked Natalie to be my maid of honor and Rachel, Sarah, Bethany, and Vanessa to be my bridesmaids.

"Right! Let's go! Let's go!" I clapped my hands together. The other girls met us in the living room and they were all squealing like high school cheerleaders.

"Where are you ladies going?" Vincent asked as he walked into the living room. He had an amused expression on his face watching the girls mock one another.

"Bridesmaid dress shopping!" I beamed mocking the girls squealy voices and he let out a genuine laugh.

"Didn't you already get your dress?" He asked and I nodded my head.

"Yes I did but the girls have to get their dresses, they aren't walking down the isle in their birthday suits." I teased and he made a disturbed face.

"Oh don't act like it wouldn't be a site to see five girls walking down the aisle naked plenty of guys would want to see that." Bethany teased and Vincent shivered.

"While many guys would probably want to see that, I only have eyes for one woman. She's the only one I want to see naked." He winked at me and pulled me closer to him. He slapped my ass the playfully and placed his lips on mine kissing me like I was the only girl in the world. With his words I melted into him like silly putty.
