I won't talk long. All i want to say is that i am sorry for not updating in....forever and that i am so happy about all the readers that have messaged me and sent in names for the dogs. I go to school 5 days a week and am usually away on the weekends. I am trying though. Well i hope you enjoy and keep messaging me.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was right when i said that my quiet and empty house had turned into a zoo. The washer and dryer machines were going constantly with all the laundry that these familys had. Plus now all the clothes had dog hair on them. The dogs made the families feel safe. In a way it made me feel better. Having some extra help around this place. I didn't have to stay alert in my own house.

Right now everyone was being taught some self defence. Just incase. They looked like they were learning alot and having some fun. I had asked some of my boys to come and help. They didnt mind. I promised them that i would make them some of my famous cookies. I thought of calling Matthew Weston but decided against it. I was already in enough trouble as it is with that boy...more like man. He's all man.

Wait.....Did i really just say that. What have i become?

There has been no movement in the case of my parents murders. Maximiano had covered his tracks well. Adrian had nightmares every night. I didn't know what to do to help him. I had been up with him every night since.

I knew that the i had to have at least a little bit of fun. All of the things that have happened lately have taken a toll on me and i think that i need to de-stress. I pulled my phone out of desk drawer and went into my contacts. I looked for his name. I clicked on it and started to write a text:

J: Hey, It's jacey.

I put it down on my desk, not expecting a reply anytime soon. As soon as my hand touched my computer keyboard, my phone vibrated.

M: Hey beautiful. How are you?

I am so happy that he could not see the blush that was probably making itself onto my smiling face.

J: Hey there Handsome. Im better now. How are you?

Smooth Jacey, smooth.

M: Nothing, really. I just thought that you deserved to know that you are the most beautiful girl i have ever seen. I'm here for you sweetie.

AWE! How can i top that.

J: You are the most thoughtful guy i know. Thank you, you don't know how much that means to me.

M: Anything for you beautiful. When you came into my life, I realized why it never worked out with any of the others.

I didn't like the sound of 'the others'. But it was so sweet that i decided to overlook it.

J: I hope you know CPR because you just took my breath away.

M: Serious issue: Can't stop thinking about you. I never thought i would meet someone as wonderful as you. I have to go beautiful but i hope to talk to you soon. Stay Beautiful xoxo P.S You don't even have to try.

Dang, this boy will be the death of me.

J: Please stay safe. I can't wait :)

M: Phht, my middle name is safe. Nobody could take me away from you sweet cheeks ;)

J: Goodbye, Matthew.

M: Bye beautiful.

"AWE!" i hear surrounding me. I jump. Not hearing anyone coming in, let alone standing and breathing right behind me. I swivel around to see most of the girls. Dang. '

"Jacey he sounds perfect, when do we get to meet him?Are you guys going to be married soon. Can i be a flower girl." One of louis sisters asked. I heard a chorus of 'yeah' 'why couldn't he be mine' 'why doesn't anyone talk to me like that'.

"One, He is a smooth talker. Two, i haven't even met him yet. Three, no we are not getting married. And four, maybe." I answered with a slight smile on my face.

"Jacey, the perfect guy is not the one who has the most money or the most handsome one you'll meet. He is the one who knows how to make you smile and will take care of you each and everyday until the end of time." Liams mom said.

"Alright enough of this mushy stuff. Let's go eat. Jacey you haven't eaten and you are getting too thin sweetie." she said again.

We all headed out to the kitchen where there was a huge huge plate of sandwiches and soup. Everyone was sitting at the table and were putting sandwiches on there plates and soups in their bowls. Everyone started to eat and i thought the girls had forgotten about the office sneak peak.

"So Jacey, what does Mr.perfect do for a living?" Lottie asked. There was a few clanking of metal spoons on bowls. Everyone staying quiet to hear what i had to say.

"I don't know what you mean lottie." I said paying attention to my turkey sandwich. Not wanting to look up at all the faces.

"He's a police officer. He is so cool. When i grow up i want to be just like him. He gets to go in car chases and arrest people--OW" Adrian said but stopped talking when i kicked him under the table.

"Ouuh kinky. Jacey i didn't think you were like that." Ruth said. Im going to kill them. There were a few people choking.

"RUTH! Not at the table....Save it for the bedroom" Liam's mom said. Oh they think they are so funny.

"Haha, sorry i forgot to laugh." I said with a smile breaking through my serious face. Atleast this got thier minds off the situation of why they were here.

"Oh Geoff, you should have seen the messages he was sending her. They were so sweet." Karen said while putting her hand on his arm.I wonder if matthew and i would be like that when we were their age. WAIT what i am saying.

"So Jacey when do we get to meet the man that is showing us men up." Geoff said.

"Im not sure Geoff. I have only met him once and that was brief." It was probably not going to go anywhere anyways. I couldn't get my hopes up again. That reminded me, i had to bring my wedding dress back.

Everyone left it at that after i sent glares their way. I stayed and helped with the dishes even after the moms told me to go and relax. Everyone went their seperate ways after that.

I headed up to my room and into my walk in closet to the portion where i had my wedding dress. I ran my fingers along the soft fabric. I had always heard to never fall in love with the first dress you try on but this was the one. It was beautiful and i hadn't spent that much money on it even though i could have. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it on one last time before i had to return it. I quickly changed into it not wanting to chance anyone seeing me almost half naked. It fit like a glove. Oh how i wish i could have worn it on my wedding day.

"He's going to be sorry he lost you, so stop worrying. Forget the past, forget the pain and remember what an incredible woman you are. He's going to wake up one day and notice what he messed up, and noticed you were the diamond while she was a rock. Keep your head up Jacey. From what i say, this Matthew character is a keeper." Trisha said while pulling some hair to behind my shoulder and wiping away some loose tears. I closed my eyes. Trying to hold the burning tears from falling.

"Everyone keep telling me that time heals all wounds, but no one can tell me what I'm supposed to do right now. Right now i can't sleep. Can't eat. Right now I still hear his voice and sense his presence even though I know he isn't here and never will be. Now i am crying all the time and i know all about time and healing but i don't think all the time in the world is going to be able to hear this gapping wound Trisha. It hurts. It keeps me up at night. Thinking of what could have been. What we could have become." i said with a crackly voice.
