A/N: The last thing I should be doing is starting a new story but I read back over some of the One Last Wish books and I was upset that they never got Chelsea and DJ together so that is what this story is... Some of the things in this story will be AU compared to Lurlene McDaniel's One Last Wishes books that she wrote... Enjoy!

Chelsea was excited about another summer at Jenny house. She was excited that she was going back as a big sister again. She just hoped that she would be able to do it. She was finally feeling one hundred percent and didn't get as tired as she use to before she had her heart transplant. Her heart clutched in her chest as she thought about the girl she had met in the hospital and had come to think of as a best friend.
She blinked away the tears that always seemed to come to her eyes whenever she thought of Jillian. She sighed as she looked around her bedroom and made sure that she had everything she wanted to take with her. She sighed again once her thoughts turned to Jillian's brother DJ. She had liked DJ a lot but she had known that nothing would come of it since he blamed her for his sister's death. In a way she blamed herself too since she was the one that got the heart instead of Jillian.
It has been two years now since she lost Jillian and it still hurts her as much now as it did back then. She couldn't help but wonder if DJ would be at the camp again this year like he was last year. She was hoping that he would be but yet she was also hoping that he wouldn't be. She wanted to see him again but yet at the same time she wasn't sure her heart could handle seeing him again. She had fallen in love with him two years ago and she still loved him to this day no matter what she tried to do to get herself over him.
She sighed as she looked at the clock and saw that it was time to leave if she wanted to get as far as she could before stopping for the night. She could have flown to Jenny House but she wanted to drive and she thought that it would be perfect because she would get to see some of the different states. She picked up her bags and left the apartment.

She pulled into the parking lot of Jenny House three days later. She could have made it in two but she took her time for many reasons. One of the reasons was that she was nervous because she wasn't sure if D.J was going to be here again this summer or not. As she stepped out of her car she smiled as she took in a deep breath of the fresh air. She heard her name being called and she turned her head and smiled when she saw Katie, Lacey and Jeff all coming towards her.
"Hey guys!" Chelsea called.
Katie reached Chelsea first and pulled her into a hug. "How are you doing Chels?"
Chelsea smiled and hugged Katie back. "I'm doing okay Katie. How are you doing?"
Katie chuckled and as she stepped away so Lacey could hug Chelsea she said "I'm doing alright."
Chelsea grinned and hugged Lacey. "How are you doing Lace?"
Lacey smirked as she pulled back from hugging Chelsea. "I'm doing great. I really have no choice since Jeff keeps on me to make sure that I'm okay."
Chelsea laughed and then hugged Jeff who had finally reached them. "How are you doing Jeff? Are you keeping our girl in line?"
Jeff laughed as he said "I'm doing good and yeah I'm keeping our girl in line. Although to be honest she's so much easier at keeping in line now."
Lacey huffed at that and said "Hey now I'm standing right here you know?"
Jeff, Katie and Chelsea all laughed and Katie said "So are you ready for another year as a big sister?"
Chelsea smiled slightly and nodded. "Yeah I am. I was so happy that they rebuilt Jenny House. I'm surprised that Josh didn't come with you. Where is that husband of yours?"
Katie smiled. "Actually he is here. He's helping Richard with something."
Chelsea smiled. "I should have known. So who all is here then?"
Katie looked at Chelsea with a worried look. "Everyone is here that was here the year of the fire including D.J."
Chelsea turned her head to look at the building so that Lacey, Jeff nor Katie would see the look in her eyes as she took in a deep breath and let it out. "I had a feeling he would be here and I'm glad that he is. I know that he feels close to Jillian when he's here."
Lacey lifted her hand and put it on Chelsea's cheek and turned Chelsea's head back towards them and said "Chels it's okay if you aren't alright with him being here. We all know how you feel about him. If you want we can make sure that you're not left alone with him."
Chelsea gave Lacey a strained smiled. "It's okay Lacey. Actually I think that it is good that he is here. I mean after all it's been almost two years since I've seen him."
Katie gave Chelsea a look. "Time doesn't matter honey when the heart is involved. I learned that the easy and hard way. It is good that D.J is here but if you don't want to be alone with him you don't have to be. We're all here for you so don't forget that."
Jeff smiled at Chelsea and said "Yeah what my woman and Katie said. You're like my little sister Chels. If you need anything I'm here."
Chelsea smiled at Jeff, Katie and Lacey and said "Thanks guys. It means a lot to me."
Before anyone could say anything a new voice was heard saying "Hello Chelsea."
