A/N – Hey guys! I know this story's been just about dead but I got reviews telling me to update, so now I have! Hope you like this chapter, don't own any of it!

Wednesday 8th August, 9.13am the loft

Good news, Grandmere's given up the idea of me going to the dance with that Peter guy she made me have dinner with last night (apparently he did not compliment her on her new hat).

Bad news, I've still got two more of these 'suitors' to meet.

Worse news, I still don't know what to do about Michael!

Tina's IMing me again!

Iloveromance: I spoke to Lilly,

FtLouie: and?????????????

Iloveromance: Well, she wasn't exactly begging you for forgiveness

FtLouie: She hates me doesn't she?

Iloveromance: No! Listen I've got her to meet you for lunch, I'm sure you'll make it up! 12.30 at The Diner!

FtLouie: I'll try, but what am I going to say if she still keeps insisting that I've got to forgive Michael?

Iloveromance: You can't forgive him just because Lilly wants you to, you have to forgive him because you want to, but don't worry I think Lilly knows that you didn't do anything wrong, she's just too proud to call you and say so!

FtLouie: Thanks Tina, I hope so! Bye

FtLouie: terminated

Wednesday 8th August, 12.27pm the subway

I'm dreading my lunch with Lilly, what if she makes a big scene and starts screaming at me in the middle of the restaurant? But, maybe she will have realized that I can't forgive Michael until I'm ready, as Tina says. OMG what if she brings Michael, and wants me to make it up with him now? Oh no here's my stop!

Wednesday 8th August, 1.16pm The Diner ladies room

Well that was ok I guess, she was on her own and didn't start screaming at me, so I guess that's a good thing. She said that she realizes that I can't forgive Michael at the moment and although she still thinks I should, she knows that it's not all my fault. I guess were mates again but I wish she wouldn't keep bringing up Michael, I mean I just don't want to talk to her about it right now! I'd better go back out; I hope she stops talking about Michael because I can't take it!

Wednesday 8th August, 2.52pm the loft

I'm glad I sorted things out with Lilly; it was horrible fighting with both her and Michael! I hate that I'm not speaking to him though, I miss him but I know that I just can't face him…

Tina's texting me, she heard that me and Lilly made up and says that we should all go out to the cinema this afternoon to see the new Brad Pitt film. I'll go I guess, It'll help me get my mind of Michael for a change!

Wednesday 8th August, 5.58pm limo on the way to Grandmere's

Brilliant! I've got to meet this new 'suitor' guy who will probably turn out to be as big a weirdo as yesterday's and Grandmere is going to kill me for being late! I have no idea why I have to be here so early anyway, diner isn't served until seven but I have to be here at half past five to greet the latest looser that Grandmere is trying to fix me up with, Oh great were here!

Wednesday 8th August, 10.47pm limo on the way back from Grandmere's

Well this guy, his name was James, wasn't as bad as the last one, he was actually pretty nice, but he's nothing compared to Michael. Grandmere of course thinks he's charming and wants me to invite him to the ball. I suppose I will end up going with him, Grandmere says that I must have an escort and she will pick one if I don't, plus the guy I was supposed to meet tomorrow cancelled (he broke his leg on going horse riding but Grandmere thinks that he is very rude for canceling at the last minute!) I guess I'll tell her that I'll go the ball with James.

Thursday 9th August, 10.48am Tina's bathroom

I'm hanging around at Tina's today; Lilly, Perin, Ling Su and Shameka are here too. Were just chatting about what were doing next year, I'm going to college and doing a writing course, Lilly's going to the top college in the state (of course!) to study law, Tina's going to beauty school, Ling Su is (obviously) going to art college and Perin and Shameka are going to a different college which is like, twenty miles away! All this talk of college keeps making me think about Michael, maybe I was stupid not to forgive him, it was a one off and he did think that we were broken up at the time. The girls are calling me to make smoothies, I'll think about this later!

Thursday 9th August, 11.43pm the loft

So tired! Spent the whole day with the girls and ended up going to the Big Wong for dinner. Going to bed, am going to sleep for most of tomorrow!

Friday 10th August, 10.53am the loft

Finally dragged myself out of bed to answer the phone (mom and Frank have taken Rocky and Megan out for the day), it was Grandmere. She's delighted that I'm going to the ball with James (I left her a message last night) and wants me to come down for an hour today to check my dress and all day tomorrow to practice walking and dancing for the ball. Yeah Grandmere, I'm on the bring of forgiving Michael (maybe!) but I'll just forget all the reasoning that I've done and learn how to waltz for like the tenth time! Great!

Friday 10th August, 4.35am the loft

An hour? I left at 11.00 and I've only just got back, she had this dressmaker round and I had to stay there while they altered and then altered further this dress. When we started it was a V-neck, floor-length dress without any decoration, now it's a square neck, ankle length (so I don't trip over like another time I could mention!) dress with beading on the hem and neckline! And they're still not satisfied! I've got to be at Grandmere's suite at 9.30 tomorrow morning and spend the whole day there until the ball at 7.00! Lucky me!

Friday 10th August, 12.43am the loft

OMG!!!! I just got up to rock Megan and I looked at my e-mails, Michael must have e-mailed me while I was at Grandmere's, he says:

I love you, I know that I've said it before but please forgive me, it was wrong to kiss Jess. It was a big mistake; the only person I want is you! Please forgive me, all my love

Michael xxxxxxxxxxx

Aaahhhh, isn't that sweet, and you know I really do believe him, I think I've finally forgiven him! I guess it's too late to phone know (I've made that mistake before!) but first thing tomorrow; I'll phone and tell him! I can't wait!
