•~Grace's P.O.V~•
"I don't even understand why we're doing this," Jeremy said as he crossed his arms.

"You don't have to come." Jeremy rolled his eyes.

"And leave you alone with the first person you ever loved? Hell no." I glared at him.

"You cheated on me. Not the other way around. I should be worried about you." Terry, our driver, nodded.

"That's true Jeremy." Jeremy rolled his eyes. Our house appeared and I quickly ran inside.

"Chloe!" I walked into the living room and saw her playing with Barbies.

"Mommy!" She ran and hugged my legs.

"Chloe guess what?" I asked as I picked her up.

"What?!" She asked excitedly.

"We're going on vacation!" She squealed. "We're going to see mommy's old family." She clapped her hands happily.

"Yay!!" She squealed.

"Come on let's go pack our bags okay?" Chloe nodded and we headed up the stairs to her room.

I carried Chloe in my arms as Jeremy look for a rental car.

"Oh my gosh. Your Grace Wolfenhard!" I looked to my side and there was a girl with shoulder-length brown hair and bright blue eyes and dark eyelashes.

"Yes, and you are?" She blushed profusely and stared at me.

"I'm Jessica Simpson. I'm a big fan!" I smiled. "Is that Chloe?" I nodded. Jessica stood on her tippy toes to try and see her.

"Grace c'mon," Jeremy said hurriedly.

"Wait!" I turned towards the girl again. "Can I get a picture of you?" I smiled and nodded. She gave her camera to her mom and her mother took a picture of all of us. I said goodbye to Jessica and went to the car. I lay Chloe in the back seat and buckled her up before covering her up in a blanket and getting into the passenger seat. It was a quiet ride to Tulsa and I felt myself growing impatient by the minute.

"Mommy?" I looked into the review mirror. 

"Yes, baby?" I saw the familiar DX come into view.

"I need to go potty. And I'm thirsty." I nodded.

"Stop there Jeremy." I pointed to the DX. It was most likely that Soda and Steve didn't work there anymore but I just wanted to see it. See if it changed. Or to see if anyone knew where I could find Soda. If I could find Soda, I could find Two-Bit. I traced the edges of my necklace as I waited impatiently for Jeremy to park the car. He said that he would rather stay inside the car so I held Chloe's hand as we walked inside the DX. Sure it was a bit bigger than what I remember but it was pretty much still the same. It still smelled like grease and fresh Cokes. I took Chloe to get a coke as I heard someone or multiple people come out from the doors behind me.

"I'm telling ya she'll come soon. Just not yet." The voice was deep with a slight lisp and a hint of a country accent.

"Chloe go to the bathroom it has a big red door okay?" Chloe nodded and I made sure she was inside the bathroom before I went to the counter to buy Chloe's coke. I magazines with Chloe and me on them. One says "who is Chloe's father?". To be honest I didn't know. Chloe was my sister, not my child. My mom never told me who her father was and I didn't want to find out either.

"Is this all?" A boy with wheat blonde hair said. He looked so familiar but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.

"Yes," I said as I inspected every inch of the DX whilst playing with my necklace.

"If you don't mind me asking where did you get that necklace from?" I smiled a bit.

"It's from an old...friend." He nodded slowly before telling me my total and giving him the money. "Um if you don't mind me asking do you know where I could find a Keith Matthews?" The guys looked me in the eyes.

"Who's asking?"
