+ Meghan's P.O.V +
Driving through the hills is such a lovely sight. On the way in yesterday Will fell asleep. But today he is wide awake and using the camera on my new phone to snap pictures of the countryside, as well as videoing the drive from his phone. We enter a small town with a population of about 1500 people. I slow down and watch my surroundings trying to look out for the towns storage facility. I see it down a side road and pull up in front of it.
Getting out of the car I look across at Will and he looks puzzled. I smile over at him and walk into the facility. At the front gate, I show the guard my key and he buzzes us through. Starting to shake I walk through rows and rows of storage units until I find number 274. smiling slightly I guide my shaky hands towards the padlock and unlock it. Passing the padlock through the loop and placing it in my pocket I grip the handle on the door. I look back and see Will standing there looking confused.
I pass him the envelope I got from Barry and I watch as he opens it and examines its contents. Turning away from him I pull the handle and watch as the door slides up. I feel around the insides of the doorway looking for a light switch. Finally finding one I flick it on and I faintly smile.
Everything I remember plus more is stack neatly inside the storage container. Exactly as my parents would have wanted. I slowly walk through the organised rows of the huge unit. Finding a few photo albums I sit down and smile at the photographs I thought were once lost. I hear Will sit down next to me on the floor and he sighs. I turn towards him and he hugs me. I hug him back and then turn toward the shelf in front of me.
"haha what am I going to do with all of this now!?" he looks at me and I give a faint smile. Pulling my phone out I search for the nearest Bendigo Bank. Seeing that there is one in this little town I stand up and dust my jeans off. Grabbing Wills hand I pull him up off of the floor and punch him in the arm.
Pulling the roller door back down I lock it and place the key on my keychain. I run back to the car and hop in while Mr Slowpoke strolls back over to the car. When he has buckled up his seatbelt I plug my phone in and play some Ed Sheeran because he is just awesome. I drive with Will back through the town and head towards home. Will falls asleep halfway there and I chuckle to myself.
Pulling into a car park I shake Mr Sleepy and wake him. Unplugging my phone I unbuckle my seatbelt and step out of the car. Will gives me a confused look as he gets out of the car and slides his phone into his pocket. I just smile at him and step into Fasta Pasta. Getting a table for two I order some pasta (obviously) while Mr I break traditions over here, orders soup. Bleh. After lunch, I give him $50 bucks and tell him he can go buy something for himself as I have a doctors appointment.
Grabbing hold of my shoulders he looks me in the eye and smiles then lets go of them and slides the $50 note back into my hand. He then turns around and walks into the doctor's surgery. Walking up to the front desk I tell them I have a 1:00 pm with Dr Quin. They sign it off as I'm here and I go and sit down next to Will. Less than 10 minutes later the nurses call me in and I follow her into the room. Surprisingly Will comes as well and I smile.
After she has given me all of my shots and taken a blood sample she leads me into Dr Quin's office and I take a seat. The doctor gives me a check-up and she tells me to go buy some multivitamins. Smiling and thanking her I book another appointment for 3 months as the doctor said and sign the forms. I then slip my hand into Wills and walk back to the car.
Reaching home I take the bags out of the boot and climb the stairs to my room. Considering it's a warm day I grab my swimsuit and cross the stairs to the other side of the building.

Reaching home I go inside as she would have argued with me if I tried to take the bags for her. I go to the kitchen and grab a muesli bar and pour myself some cordial. Walking out into the foyer I see a figure dash up the other side of the stairs. Finishing my muesli bar and my drink I walk up the stairs and instead of going left to our bedrooms, I go right, following the figure I saw earlier.
I walk down the corridor and I can't see anyone or hear anything. Then just as I'm about to give up I hear a splash and run down the hallway. Stopping at the last door on the left I open it a peak in. Inside I see Meghan swimming laps of the pool. She moves sleek and smooth almost like a dolphin. She doesn't make a splash she just ripples the top of the water. Seeing her like this makes me smile. She always looks uptight or like she is hiding something, but seeing her like this makes me see the real her. The one that doesn't have a care in the world.
I stand there watching her for a long time. Her phone lights up and a smooth, beautiful sound resonates throughout the room. She finishes her lap and jumps out of the pool. Fishing my phone out of my pocket I snap a photo of her and I chuckle to myself. I then close the door quietly and run to my room.

Grabbing my towel I dry myself off and shut the door quietly behind me. I walk through the hallway and cross the stairs. Shutting the door to my room I turn around and squeal. Sitting on my bed is Grace dressed in a pair of black leggings and a gold cropped tee with matching 6-inch heels. She stares at me for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.
I glare at her and then walk into my bathroom. I strip off and shower washing my hair. Ten minutes later I walk into my bedroom and see Grace is still there only this time there is a pair of clothes laid out beside her. She gets up and walks over to the bathroom and shuts the door. Chuckling at her weird ways I dry and dress quickly in the leggings and cropped tee advertising The Veronicas.
I place my rose necklace on my neck and open the locket. I glance at the photos and realise that the chains and pendants are both gold. Slipping the locket off of the chain Ally once wore I place it on the same chain as the rose. Placing the spare chain in the jewellery box next to my parents rings I smile and go into the bathroom to hang up my towel.
Grace follows me back into my room and starts asking me questions about why we were away so long and what happened on our trip. I tell her everything we did, well almost everything that I thought she needed to know, while I unpack my bags. She laughs at parts and when I'm finished she asks to see the video of mine and Marcus' swing thing. Pulling my new phone out of my pocket I pull up the video on my phone and pass it to her.
When she has finished the video she passes the phone back and pulls out her own. She excuses herself as she answers the call. Just before she shuts the door she sticks her head back inside the door and says somewhat loudly that she would see me at dinner. Laughing at her sudden departure but also somewhat confused at it I slip my phone back into my pocket. Opening the jewellery box I pull out my mother's engagement ring as it's the ring the fits me best and I slip it on. Slipping on a pair of shoes I run downstairs and start setting up for dinner as I promised Paolo I would help cook dinner tonight.
Dinner consisted of barbequed meat and roasted vegetables, and when Paolo told me I almost fell over. I guess it shouldn't have surprised me that a rich family ate simple meals like barbequed meats and roasted vegetables. A half-hour later I leave Paolo at the barbeque and walk back upstairs. Seeing as it's only 4:45 pm I pull the blue fluffy blanket up over me and fall asleep on my bed.
I felt someones cold hand resting lightly on my forearm and awoke to look into his grey eyes. I smile up at him and wrap my arms around his neck. He chuckles and my smile widens as he pulls me up into a sitting position. I stand and fold the blanket then place it on the end of the bed. Chucking my hair up into a ponytail I walk out into the hallway and start towards the stairs.
I feel a hand grab onto mine and I sigh inwardly. I turn towards Will and look him in the eye as slip my hand out of his. With my hands by my side, I wink at him and then turn and run down the stairs, out onto the patio. I sit down next to Grace and flash her my biggest, widest smile. She cocks her head to the side in a questioning way, to that I just giggle and point to the doorway where Mr Grumpy pants just walked through. She looks back at me and smiles while suppressing a laugh. I stand and pat Grace on the shoulder then I help Paolo with the morceau de résistance.
When dinner is finished I collect the dishes and trudge back inside to wash them up. 20 minutes later after I have cleaned the kitchen with Paolo I collapse into a chair, grateful for the fact that I had a shower earlier, I fall asleep in the chair after reading the clock hanging on the wall reading that it's 7:30pm.

I'm confused when she takes my hand out of hers. I'm even more confused when she winks at me and then runs out onto the patio. I quickly become angry and upset as I trudge down the stairs and sit at the table. I see Meghan and Grace exchange looks before Meghan gets up and does her job. I finish dinner in silence before I get up and excuse myself. I go back up to my room and turn on my tv. Grabbing my Xbox controller I place Call Of Duty into the machine and start playing. I play for hours until Grace barges into my room and sits on the end of the bed, blocking my view of the game.
I pause it and look up at her. She smirks and then slaps me across the face. I look back at her suddenly infuriated. She looks sorry but I don't buy anything.
"Sorry ... I had to make it look like we had a fight ..." I simmer down after she says that and then she begins to explain what happened between me and Meghan earlier when I tried to grab her hand. I chuckle when she finishes. I kiss her cheek and then she leaves my room. I wait for another 10 minutes before I go downstairs and look for Meghan. I check the kitchen and dining and every other room I can think of before making my way up the stairs to check her room. She isn't in there so I venture back downstairs and check the lounge room. I didn't see a light on in there before so I didn't check it but considering she isn't anywhere else ...
Turning the hall light on I walk into the lounge room and I don't see anybody. I'm about to leave when I see an arm fall off of the couch. Smiling to myself I walk over to her and quickly snap a photo. I then slip my arms under her and carry her bridal style out of the room. I use my elbow and flick the switch on the hall light before making my way upstairs with my blossom in my arms.
I lay her on her bed and turn on the bedside lamp. I close the bedroom door and then unfold the blue blanket and lay it across her. She rolls over so her back is facing me and I chuckle. Leaning over her I kiss behind her ear and stifle a laugh when she moans in her sleep. I lean across and kiss her cheek. I feel her cheek muscles tighten and she rolls over pinning me under her.
"Should've been more careful ... but what are you doing here!?" I hear her whisper and I can't believe I actually woke her up.
"It's ok blossom, I understand what earlier was about now and I promise I won't get you fired!" she smiles down at me and all of a sudden she collapses onto my chest. I kiss her forehead then notice that she has fallen asleep again. Smiling at her sleeping figure I drift off soon afterwards.
