a/n: oh my golly goo I just keep writing and writing. honestly it's pretty awesome in starting to enjoy this book as much as I did when i first started writing it I actually had a different 3rd chapter written but it jumped so far ahead I scrapped it and i'm glad I did because if I didn't I probably would've taken this book down and then no one would've gotten to finish Estella's story. anyways enjoy. lots of love, ash❤❤

"Please come visit again soon" my Mom collected me in her arms hugging me. I had spent the last couple of days here rebuilding a foundation and it finally felt like I did have my own family. I had their house numbers and work numbers and was welcome to come stay in my room anytime I wanted to.

"I promise I will" I said as I also hugged my Dad and brother.

"The next time I come we should plan a party or something so I can meet everyone else" I said and my father nodded.

"Of course peaches" he said kissing my head and I smiled.

"Cmon Stell we better get going now if we want to make it there before tomorrow night" Brand yelled from the car and I turned and nodded. As I bid my goodbyes again I finally ran to the car and hopped in. Even though I found my real home I made a life for myself in Astoria and I wanted to continue to live it.

We finally pulled up in front of Ginny's and I smiled. Home at last. We all stepped out sighing and happy to stretch our legs. Brand laid down on the pavement as we laughed at him.

"Im starving" Andy said and we all nodded and followed her into Ginny's.

"WELCOME HOME!" shouts were yelled and a banner hung from the ceiling. I smiled at the boys and Ginny and all their families. I hugged Mrs. Walsh and then Frankie. Even though I hated her for stealing the guy I loved she was still super nice.

"There she is" Chunk and Data ran over and picked me up squishing me nearly to death. Mouth was kissing Steph and as soon as the boys dropped me I hugged Mr. Walsh.

"I can't believe you guys set this all up" I said as I hugged Ginny.

"Of course we did we love you guys" Ginny said and I smiled.

"Aw man I missed it" Mikey's voice filled the room as he descended the stairs. We all laughed and he walked down as he hugged Brand. Finally he moved towards me with a sideways smile on his face.

"When I said get back to me soon I didn't mean take forever" he said and I laughed as I hugged him.

"I missed you Mikey" I said and he smiled kissing the top of my head. My stomach did summersaults as he pulled away.

"Let's eat now!" Andy yelled and I laughed following her to the front counter where they set up a taco bar. I smiled as I nearly filled my plate. I was starving and tacos sounded so good right now.

As we sat at tables and ate and enjoyed friends I realized I had found my reason of living. Having a life with Dale was fun but the exposure and constant life without friends wasn't for me. I enjoyed the people I had in my life and that's when I decided I was gonna mary and find a home here. My kids will grow up right here in the goon docks.

"Sorry sir we're closed" Ginny's voice broke through the crowd as the doors bell jingled. I looked up and was face to face with the piercing blue eyes.

"I know, I'm here for Bunny" he said and I stood before anyone could answer.

"Dale what are you doing here?" I asked and he took the sunglasses he was holding sliding them into the chest pocket of his blazer.
