Okay, so sorry it has been so long. Also sorry if I have said any dates in earlier chapters and the ones in this one don't match with those. I completely blanked and couldn't see any early in the story but if that happened please ignore me! Hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Also sorry if it sucks!
The next morning I was downstairs early making breakfast for Mom, Daddy and Kendall. The bacon was done and I was just finishing up the eggs and grits when I heard footsteps coming down the steps.
"Morning sweetie. You making breakfast?" I turned smiling at my mom and nodded.
"Yes mam, will you do me a favor and get the plates. I just got finished." She nodded and got the plates from one of the cabinets. The two of us fixed our plates and sat down talking waiting on the boys to come down.
"Morning" I heard a groggy voice greet us. I smiled at Kendall. His hair was slightly messed and you could still see the sleep in his eyes.
"Morning, Kendall. Sleep well?" My mom asked as I walked over and gave him a kiss good morning.
"I did, Mrs. Young." He smiled at her and I could tell he was slowly waking up completely.
"Kendall, I told you to please call me Helen! Now sit! Lacy will fix you a plate!" She scolded, and if there is anything you need to know about my mom it is that you really don't argue with her. Kendall nodded and sat down in my now empty seat and as I filled his plate with a little bit of everything. I set it infront of him and he looked up at me with his normal smile.
"Thanks, babe." With that he started eating and soon my dad came down and my mom fixed his plate. I watched how they were together. Even after 28 years of marriage you can still see the love they have for each other. I want that. I want someone that I can still love after thirty years together. I let my eyes wonder to Kendall as he carried on a conversation with my dad as they both ate. Kendall really is one of the best things that has happened to me, I honestly don't know what would happen with out him.
Soon everyone was done eating and we got dressed for the day. We said goodbye to my parents and I decided that we would go see Lance and Hannah.
We walked up to their door, they have lived together for about two and a half years now. Kendall had his arm around my waist and I couldn't stop smiling. I slowly knocked on the door. I could hear the muffled complaints from Hannah about how freaking early it was and she was gonna kick who ever was at the door in the ass. I chuckled as the door flew open and her mouth opened ready to bitch us out, instead she let out a loud scream and I was engulfed in a strong hug.
I hugged her back and laughed as I saw Lance, only in his underwear by the way, to see why Hannah was screaming. He screamed, a much more high pitched scream than Hannah did then pulled me from Hannah and into his own arms. Kendall gave Hannah a hug then shook Lance's hand. We walked into their house.
"What are you guys doing here?" Hannah questioned as we all sat down in their living room. Well as soon as Lance came back from the bedroom now fully clothed.
I sighed slightly. "I wanted to come back, for I guess some closure and this amazing man right here agreed to come with me." I stated as I gently patted his leg and his kissed my head as I finished.
Both of them eyed me with concern. "Lacy, are you gonna go by the grave?" Lance asked,
I nodded, I glanced at Kendall and he took my hand squeezing it gently. "We are. We are actually going there after we leave here." They both nodded and we grew silent. I don't think any of us really knew what to say or what not to say.
After a good five minutes Hannah finally broke, "How long are you guys here for?"
"We leave in three days. So we have to get together and go out one night! Show Mr. Hollywood over here how we party in the country!" I giggled.
"Damn straight! You think you can keep up, pretty boy?" Hannah joked but wore a smirk that made me smirk as well as I looked at Kendall.
Kendall broke into a smile before winking at me, "Bring it on, bitches."
About forty five minutes later Kendall and I had just pulled up into the cemetery. I sat frozen with my hands on the wheel. I could feel Kendall's eyes on me but he wasn't saying anything. "I guess this is it." I spoke, my heart pounding in my chest ,
"Lacy, you can do this. But only when you are ready. Are you sure you are ready?" His voice was soft as he spoke. I turned my head to look at him before giving a slight smile.
"With you with me I can face anything." He leaned in, cupping my face in his hands, and gently pressed his warm lips to mine. We then got out of the car and we walked hand in hand to where I knew his headstone was. The closer I got the harder my heart pounded and the harder I squeezed Kendall's hand. Before I knew it we were standing their infront of his grave. I got down on my knees directly in front of it so I was eye level and read the inscription.

I let my fingers run over the words and all of a sudden words were coming from my mouth before I even realized it, "Hey Will, I am so sorry it took me so long to come see you. I feel like complete crap about it. Yeah I know what you are thinking, why are you even still worrying about me it's been almost two years. I will always think about you, you were my first true love, you are always with me." I paused and let the tears fall before continuing. "You know that I cared about you with all my heart but I have to tell you something. Actually, " I stopped and grabbed Kendall's hand pulling him down next to me, "I have someone for you to meet. Will, this is Kendall Knight. We have been together for several months now. I just wanted you to see the man I am with. I promise that I am happy, and I really hope that you are not hurt by me dating." Tears flowing freely making it hard to continue as I became a blubbering mess.
"Will, I know you loved Lacy. I can tell by the pictures I have seen and just from hearing Lacy talk about you that the two of you were really in love. I would never try to replace you or tell her not to think about you. I just want you to know that I will take good care of Lacy and that I think she is probably the best thing that has happened to me, I can not imagine life without her. I love her, just like you did." I turned to face Kendall and saw tears threatening to spill from his eyes and I immediately wrapped him in a hug and I felt his arms wrap around me. We sat there for the longest time, what Kendall said was the sweetest thing I had ever heard and I just wanted to hold him.
All of a sudden I got a very calm feeling, I closed my eyes as I rested my head against Kendall's shoulder. My mind went blank then I heard Will's voice clearly in my head say, Lacy, I love you and I know you love me. I am not angry, I am so happy that you found what you were looking for even if you didn't know it. Kendall will take good care of you. Be the wonderful person you are and be happy. You deserve it. I love you and am always watching out for you.
My eyes shot open, I looked towards the headstone then back at Kendall.
"Baby, what is it? You're scaring me." Kendall asked, I didn't know if I should tell him or if he would just think I was crazy.
"Kendall, I know this may sound insane but..." I trailed off.
"Sweets, what is it? I won't think it's crazy."
"Will just spoke to me, he told me that you would take care of me, to be happy and that he loved me and was watching over me." Tears stinging my eyes but I couldn't help but smile. I know it was him and he gave me the closure I needed.
Kendall smiled at me and hugged me closer to him and didn't question me. That was one of the reasons I was falling madly in love with Kendall Knight.
