"7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone yelled as they raised their drinks and couples kissed. Jasper wrapped his arm around my back and parted my lips kissing me deeply. This was all I wanted. For him to show me with his actions that he was sorry and wanted to change. Things had been going great for almost two weeks now and I noticed that he was spending more time at home. More time under me. All my life I'd wanted nothing more than a man to love me as hard as I loved. I knew that he still had a long way to go in improving and you could even call me a fool for staying time after time again. You could call me a fool for accepting the ring he'd given me. I was but I was a fool in love with a man who'd given me everything. A family. All he'd been holding back on giving me was him and he was doing that now. Shouldn't that have been what mattered? That he was trying to change now?

We'd been invited to Julian's place along with Mega and Liam and a lot of other people I didn't recognize so we could celebrate New Years. According to Julian his girlfriend Sheena had made him invite all of these people and he'd do anything she asked to make her happy. He was in love and that was a beautiful thing to see because you'd think Jasper's friends weren't the falling in love type. Even Mega had met someone a couple of months ago. The only one who refused to let a woman tie him down was Liam who said he was just trying to have fun and enjoy his early 20's right now.

"I'll be back baby. I'm gonna head to the bathroom." I told Jasper as I tossed back the rest of my drink and handed him my glass about to walk away.

"That ass bro. Shit." He said and I looked over my shoulder at him giving him a better view.

"Need me to come with you?" He asked with a smirk.

"No." I laughed." I know where the bathroom is babe." I shook my head making my way through the crowded room heading down the long hallway to the bathroom. Once I got behind that door and stared at myself in the mirror all I could think about was how Jordyn had cried to me a week ago after finding out about Parker being dead. Her funeral was tomorrow.

While I felt absolutely nothing about killing her I did feel bad for Jordyn because she said that she felt terrible that the last time she'd saw her was when that big argument happened at our Christmas party. She told me that she had so many unanswered questions and that regardless of what happened she loved Parker like a sister. They'd been friends since middle school. Even Kara was taking it hard and they hadn't met her until they'd got in high school. It was hard sitting there pretending to care about Parker when I didn't but I held Jordyn's hand and let her and Kara vent to me because I genuinely liked and cared about them.

The police had no leads and I knew that they never would. I knew my own body well enough to know that although I was fully human now I still possessed things related to the doll I used to be. Like having no finger prints. If I did I certainly didn't have any that anyone would recognize. I wasn't even in the system. I couldn't be traced back to anything which was why I didn't worry about leaving anything behind.

I put the toilet lid down and sat down on it pulling my phone out of my pocket. I was just trying to pass time to avoid going back out there until I could get myself together. My nerves had gotten bad just that quick thinking about if Jasper was done cheating and beating on me and if I'd ever have to do something like that again to another woman. I didn't want to but this rage inside of me that came out when the thought of being number two came to mind was something I couldn't control. I'd been number two long enough to men who wouldn't choose me and I was tired.

I typed my name into google along with Las Vegas and clicked the first thing I saw. My eyes scanned the phone as I started to read it.

Deceased woman found strangled to death in hotel room has been identified as 24 year old Mia Dublin.
