We got home, from our small trip and there was Katie standing outside with Stephanie. I don't even want to think of anything, all I want to think is of Demi because she really lighted up my world this weekend! But I have to 'stay strong' and smile on. Well I would just like to wish myself luck with that! "Hey, you guys are back!" said Stephanie. "Yeah, yes we are." said Ryan. "Hello." I said. "Well, Juliet Katie is here for you." said Stephanie. "I can see that." I replied. "Hey, I know it's only been a couple of days but can you go grab your stuff? We're headed to your foster family." said Katie. "Okay, I guess so. I will go grab my stuff then." I replied to Katie. It sucks, well kind of but a new 'family' then! I walked up to the room and grabbed my stuff. Then Ryan came into the room and said "This weekend was fun. It was really nice seeing you again, but we've grown so much that we couldn't even recognize each other. Anyways it was really good to see you again! I will for sure miss you because meeting Demi, seeing Demi live, and just being out of San Fran. is already a time to remember. So see you, call me? Text me? Okay, bye!" We both hugged and I started crying because I finally felt comfortable with someone who I lived with for a few days. But here I go again seeing new faces in an hour or two! I walked outside with my stuff and I said goodbye to Stephanie and Ryan, and left with Katie. "So how do you feel?" Katie asked. "I want to have an official home, I want to feel comfortable again. I really, honestly just want to go back to my home where I can get the feeling of my parents again! I know it's not sold yet. Because my parents had a paper in their offices, a will. But I guess you guys didn't think of any will, and I don't know what is in that will anyways." I replied. "We will find you a home, you will feel comfortable again, and you will have loving parents. Trust me, I'll do everything I can! What do you want me to do? I will do anything to make you feel better." said Katie. "Well I want to go back home then. Where I grew up for the last 4-6 years! But can we just hurry up and get there? To Malibu. There's nothing you can do about it but find my a home, a family!" I replied. Katie was silent, she just stared at me which was uncomfortable so I turned away and closed my eyes. Try to re-live, try to just go back to those memories. The time I went to Orlando, Florida! The time I got my tickets, just all the memories I've made over the years.

Thinking of it, my life doesn't even sound depressing but that's good. It doesn't need to, I don't want it to! Because Demi, because of Demi, my world was lit and that's all that matters.

"Juliet? Juliet, we are here." said Katie. "Oh, okay." I replied. "So this is your new home." said Katie. We got out of the car and the home was quite big, but we walked to the front yard and the door opened. To be honest, this neighbor is the rich neighborhood! I can just tell. These houses are sort of big and, they look really updated and a lot of windows. "Hello. Are you Katie?" said the lady. "Hi. Yes I am Katie. So this is Juliet." said Katie. "Hi." I said to the lady. "So let me introduce myself! My name is Diane, and they will introduce theirselves." said Diane. Then about 5 other people came out! "Hi, I'm Julie. I'm 10!" - "Hello? Nick here, I'm 15." - "Um, hi. I'm Natalie, I'm 15 also. Nick's twin." - "How are you? I'm Connor, 17." - "Hello, Juliet. It's nice to finally meet you! I'm Lance. The father of these 4." And this is so weird!! Connor, Nick and Natalie, Julie, Lance, and Diane. I'm just going to call the parents by their last name, weird to call them by their name! "Well it's nice to meet all of you guys." I said. "Juliet, are you ok? Well, everything will be ok. So have fun ok? Bye." said Katie and she walked away. I stood there awkwardly while Julie started talking. "Hi Juliet. I love your name!! Can I call you Julie too?" Julie asked. "Sorry, I only let my..close friends call me that." I replied. Diane gave me a 'tour' of the house and took me to my room. "As you can see, the swimming pool and the beach is right there. Only you and Connor has a balcony because I don't want you to feel stuck in your room. You can go to the beach anytime but you just have to tell us, and you can swim in the pool anytime. And if you need to clean the pool, just get anyone. They will help you and curfew is at 10, since it's summer. But have fun, please be comfortable!" said Diane. "Okay, thank you." I said, and she walked out.

I made myself stay in the room, there was no reason to go out to the living room or kitchen. Dinner isn't until 6:30 pm and lunch isn't until 1:30 so it's just going to be boring but I should put my stuff up and my phone ringed and it was Ryan. "Hey what's up?" I asked. "Nothing but how is it so far?" Ryan asked. "It's been okay. There's 4 other kids, people. But in total there is 7 people in the house! Also I get to see the sun set, just yards away that is the Pacific Ocean. Quite amazing! But there's also a pool, I find it weird but I mean what's up? There is gates around the house to block anything out so yeah. Sorry I don't even know what to say, I'm confused." I replied. "Oh? Okay. Ha ha! It's alright but I should come visit you tomorrow, if that's alright. I know where you live." said Ryan. "How do you know where I live?" I asked. "Well Mr. Augustice owns a restaurant in Malibu. I would always stop there to eat, also he was a friend of my dad. So.." Ryan replied. "You want to FaceTime instead?" I asked. "Yeah, sure. I will call!" said Ryan. We both clicked and Ryan called me through FaceTime and we continue to talk while I put my things into place like picture frames on the desk and my suitcase in the closet. While we were talking, Connor knocked on the door. "Hey." said Connor. "Hold on Ryan. Hi, Connor." I replied. "So is everything good so far? You need any help?" Connor asked. "Um, no thank you. But thanks for asking!" I replied to Connor. "Hey, Juliet. I should go, it was nice talking to you. And what's up Connor?" said Ryan. "Oh, what? Hey Ryan." said Connor. "Oh okay, bye Ryan." I said. "Bye Juliet. Bye Connor. Juliet, you have fun. I will see you, maybe tomorrow!" said Ryan. And he clicked!
