That necklace!
I knew I saw it somewhere!!
My mom wore it in her old pictures!

"Mom! Where'd you get this necklace from??" I said hoping on the bed next to them.

"Um, it was a custom made present your dad got me for our engagement. Why?" She asked, her face regaining its normal color.

"Custom? As in there isn't any necklace like it in the world?!" I ask, feeling ecstatic at my discovery.

"Well there could've been, but the guy who made it died of a stroke a month later."

"Where is it now? Do you have it?"

"It was lost sometime when we were in Canada. Why do you ask honey?"

I couldn't tell her just yet. I needed to be sure first of all.

"Nothing mom I'm just asking. So this whole story with Francis is the main reason you put a GPS on my car before giving it to me on my birthday?"

They looked at each other, laughing like they've been caught sneaking out past curfew.

"How did you even figure that one out?" My dad asked, ruffling my hair.

"Daaaad! I overheard you guys talking about it." I said getting up to hug them; after I tamed my hair.

"I just want to say that I'm really proud of you guys for staying strong after everything that you've been through. And," I continue, looking at my dad, "what you said about not wanting to lose me too at the hospital makes so much sense."

"Is there anything you don't notice?" He exclaims, hugging me back.

"And honestly honey, we're very proud of the girl you've become and your mom and I decided that we'll be leaving you the companies regardless of what major you choose to study. We'll even support you even if you choose to study in Ireland." He said, smiling.

"What?! Are you guys serious!!" I was excited for a second but then I gained a bit of composure.

"No. I want to stay here with you guys all the time. I'll apply to universities in the country, but not in the state. I don't think I can stand being away from you guys for that long. Now if you'll excuse me I have a friend I need to visit."

"You literally just came from school." Said my mom.

"I know! I'll be right back I promise."

I made my way to my car with the photos in my hand, saying hi to Annabelle on the way out. God knows where Lexwith is. He only appears in front of you when he's needed; like a creepy real life Nanny McPhee.

Hoping in my car, I realize that I have no idea where CJ lives. I thought about texting Jaycee for the address, but since he and I aren't exactly on speaking terms, i thought about asking Jace.

To: Spawn of Satan 👹
Hey Satan Jr.! Do you by any chance know where CJ lives?

He almost answered instantaneously; so much for studying.

From: Spawn of Satan 👹
Ya, he's actually staying with me for the time being. Why?

To: Spawn of Satan 👹
Then what's your address.

From: Spawn of Satan 👹
3938 Willowcreek Boulevard

I entered that into my GPS and started my car; contemplating how I would even approach this subject.

My thoughts were interrupted when my phone rang. Who's the caller you ask?

Jay(cee me rolling)👩🏽‍🚀
