AN: Okay, again, before I start, I have to give credit to my reviewers, so thanks, all of you. The more reviews I get, the faster I update. So here's the next chapter for all of you who've been waiting.

Chapter 3

I'm slowly remembering,

What life use to bring,

I see my friends surrounding me,

Smiling, laughing, casually,

It's like old times,

Those summers I remember,

And the school year I would dread,

Are slowing coming back to me,

How we use to stay up late at night,

Gossiping about just anything,

Doing things we just thought of,

Somehow, they mean the world to mean,

It's like old times,

Those summers I remember,

And the school year I would dread,

Are slowly coming back to me,

And when my crushes said no,

And I was left there all alone,

I'd just look around, and realize,

I was just like a regular human being,

It's like old times,

Those summers I remember,

And the school year I would dread,

Are slowly coming back to me,

And my friends, are still beside me,

Mia's POV

A glowing silver necklace was what I found.

And I knew exactly how much this necklace meant to mom. My mom had worn that necklace at both her weddings, and it was her favorite thing she owned.

I looked at my mom in astonishment.

Mom was smiling, and said,

"It's yours now honey."

I was still gasping at her.

"Mom, you can't give this to me. This..this is like your life and blood." I protested

But she just laughed.

"Well, it doesn't exactly go very well with my 'Free Winona tee shirt."

I smiled and choked down a laugh

"Thanks mom." I said and gave her a big hug.

"Here," She said, "Let me put it on you."

I bit my lip as she put it on me. I hoped it would look at least half as good on me as it did on mom.

Michael's POV

Whoa.

I swear to god that was the only word I thought of when I saw Mia in that necklace.

It's silver with silver chains hanging off it, and a small diamond at the end of every chain.

And Mia has no idea how beautiful she looks in it.

Damn Michael! Remember the reason she's wearing it; she's getting married!

..And not to me.

I know I'm so going to regret not telling her how I felt (and still do feel) when she left for Genovia.

But I know that Mia never thought of me like that, so I'll just slowly die...alone.

Oww!

Lilly saw that guilty, sad, depressed look in my eye, and pinched me. Hard.

Well, the girls just left to go look in the mirror, while the rest of us guys started looking around.

"So?" Mr. G. said, "Can I get you guys something to drink? Coffee? Water? Beer?"

"Beer." Lars replied

"I'll just have water, thanks." I said

So we took our refreshments to the living room, and Mr. G. turned on the football game.

Mia's POV

"Well, I guess it looks all right." I said, looking into the mirror.

"What you mean 'it looks all right'? You look gorgeous." Lilly ranted

"You really do look wonderful Mia." Mom said

I just blushed and looked down at my feet.

"I can't wait to see that necklace with your dress!" gushed Lilly

"What dress?" I asked

"Oh my God!" Lilly screamed, almost in my ear, "You mean you haven't bought the wedding dress yet?"

I shook my head

"We are so going to get your dress tomorrow. We'll call Tina and ask if she wants to come." Lilly said, writing it down on her 'To do list'.

"Great! I haven't seen Tina in ages!" I exclaimed

"Oh, I know!" Lilly said, actually clapping her hands together (since when does Lilly do that?) "Why don't after dinner, you come to my house, we'll call Tina, and then we'll all have a chick night! Like old times!"

Like old times...God I miss the old times.

I looked at Mom.

She put her hands up.

"Hey, you're an adult now, it's not my decision." She said

I turned back to Lilly.

"All right. Let get a move on with this dinner. Then we'll go to the drugstore on the way back, and get some junk food."

Lilly bowed

"Yes, your Highness." She said

I smacked her and we left the room laughing.

AN: Okay, I know Lilly really not like Lilly in this one, but that's how it's going to be. Now review!
