[WEDNESDAY, 10AM] Everyone at the house woke up early to get ready for their day. The guys had a day to plan out their Bachelor party for tomorrow while the girls went flower picking.

I woke up getting ready wearing a black and grey baseball tee, black skinny jeans, black and white low top converse, my hair straight down. I wanted to dress comfortable but stylish at the same time.

After getting dressed, i walked downstairs to see all of the girls hanging out in the living room waiting. Julie Manson (Lila’s Mom), Cecelia Terrance (Kai’s Stepmom), Alanis (Lila’s friend), Kim (Lila’s friend), Natalia (Kai’s youngest sister) all were there along with me and Lila who just came down together. On the other side of the house, there were Kai who lead Scott (Lila’s oldest brother), Ryan, Devon (Kai’s friend), Jon (Kai’s friend). Matt Manson (Lila’s Dad) and Tom Terrance (Kai’s Dad) both went to eat breakfast together at a diner that morning already. So the groups went their separate ways and did their own things.

I couldn't believe flower picking would be so fun. I enjoyed it a lot and loved seeing the beautiful flowers around the field. We each picked the type that Lila wanted for her wedding. We came back to the house with so much flowers and all we had to do was assemble it.

Julie Manson (Lila’s Mom) and Cecelia Terrance (Kai’s Stepmom) stayed at home to help assemble the flowers while the girls and guys went out for lunch.

[1PM] Lila, Kai, all the bridesmaids and groomsmen went out for lunch at the restaurant in town. We all had a good time bonding over lunch together and made it back to the lake house. We rested for an hour and continued on with our day. Lila, Natalia, Kai, Scott, Ryan, and me all took a car to the cake testing store. We tried so many types of cakes and it was delicious. Lila and Kai made a choice and came down to red velvet cake for their wedding. I couldn't tell you how simple they wanted their wedding cake to be. So they suggested the clerk to make their cake only with two tiers that would fill up 200 guests.

[6PM] We all came back to a very long day of work on the wedding. I took an earlier shower once i got home and rest on the bed drawing some sketches for a new project. I had so many ideas of what the next project should be for the company. I had no idea where these ideas came from. I guess its because im here at the lake house and ideas just comes to me or something. Once i was done sketching in my notebook, i put it on the table and walked downstairs to see what everyone was up to. Julie Manson (Lila’s Mom), Cecelia Terrance (Kai’s Stepmom), Alanis (Lila’s friend), Kim (Lila’s friend), Natalia (Kai’s youngest sister), Scott (Lila’s oldest brother), Ryan, Devon (Kai’s friend), Jon (Kai’s friend), Matt Manson (Lila’s Dad) and Tom Terrance (Kai’s Dad) were all in the living room getting ready to watch a movie together. Lila, Kai, and Ryan were in the kitchen making some snacks and food for everyone to share while watching the movie. As i walked into the kitchen, Kai, Lila, and Scott came to the living room to deliver the food. Me and Ryan were the only ones in the kitchen. I sat on the stood watching him make snacks and he tells me to try something that he made. He fed me a piece of slider and it tasted delicious. Then i said to him…

Jane : this is so good.
Ryan (*asks) : right ?
Jane (*asks) : what is it ?
Ryan : it's my new invention.
Jane : it sure is one of the most delicious sliders i've ever tasted in my life.
Ryan (*smiles & says) : i'm glad you liked it.
Jane : i sure need a man who can cook me meals.
Ryan (*asks) : you don't cook ?
Jane : i do but since i don't have time, i don't cook at home.
Ryan : ah, so you're one of those.
Jane (*curious & asks) : one of what ?
Ryan : one of those who gets take out or eats junk food all the time.
Jane (*laughs & says) : not all the time.
Jane (*asks) : why did you want to become a chef ?
Ryan : i like making people happy with the creation of different ingredients with food.
Ryan : it makes me feel better knowing that people love my food.
Ryan : that's why i do it.
Jane (*asks) : it's not because of other reasons ?
Ryan : my mom was a great cook and i guess she passed it down to me.
Jane : i can see where you got it from.
Jane (*asks) : where is she now ?
Ryan : she passed away 7 years ago from cancer.
Jane : i'm so sorry to hear that.
Jane : If it makes you feel any better, i lost both of my parents when i was in middle school.
Ryan : i'm so sorry Jane.
Jane : don't be. It was a difficult time for me but i realized that they gave me life to live on.
Jane : i never gave up and i'm doing this for them.
Ryan (*asks) : what about you ?
Ryan (*asks) : what made you become a fashion designer ?
Jane : i love sketching ever since i was a kid.
Jane : from there, i started to use loose fabric to create my own clothes.
Ryan (*asks) : and that's where it lead you to design school ?
Jane : right. Me and Lila went to design school together.
Jane : we are closer than ever.
Ryan : you’re really talented in what you do Jane. you should keep on going with it.
Jane : i dreamt of one day being my own boss and having my own clothing line or company.
Ryan : and it's still a work in progress.
Jane (*smiles & says) : it is.
Jane : i just need to wait for the right time to do it, that's all.
Ryan : it's good that you know want you want.
Jane : yeah.
Jane (*asks) : do you have a restaurant of your own ?
Ryan : i do actually. I opened up one in New York City 5 years ago.
Jane (*asks) : and it's going well for you ?
Ryan : of course. I'm looking forward to opening another restaurant on the other side of town one day.
Ryan : i still need to look into it.
Jane : and i hope that goes well for you.

During this time, Scott overheard their conversation and stood behind the wall analyzing them. He saw how happy Jane was talking to Ryan and wished he had that with her just more than close friends. Lila saw Scott and walked behind him to ask him…

Lila (*asks) : are you spying on them ?
Scott (*says in denial) : no.
Lila : i sense jealousy coming along.
Scott (*asks) : why would i be jealous ?
Scott : i'm happy for her that she found someone who cares for her.
Lila : you have cared for Jane for so many years now and yet you can't come to tell her how you feel.
Lila (*asks) : why is that ?
Scott : she doesn't like me like that.
Scott : it's best if she never knows and be happy. That's all i care about.
Lila : Scott. You can't always protect her. She's all grown up now, we all are.
Scott : you know, i feel like i'm losing two really good sisters who i've grown up with.
Lila : You're not losing anybody. We will always be here.
Scott : your right.
Lila : come on, let's go watch the movie.

Lila and Scott smiled at each other and went to take their seats on the sofa with everybody else.

When midnight hit, everyone had fallen asleep and slowly made their way to their rooms. I had already fallen asleep whereas Ryan was still awake finish watching the movie. He carried me upstairs to bed and went to sleep. I heard the door slightly shut with a little peek.

Ryan walked outside the hallway about to be on his way to the bathroom when Scott stopped him to talk. Though i was asleep, i could hear them talking outside the hallway.

Scott : i've been wanting to talk to you about something.
Ryan (*asks) : what is this about ?
Scott : if you're going to date Jane, please take care of her.
Ryan : i'm not even sure if she likes me back.
Ryan (*asks) : do you happen to like her ?
Scott : me, Lila, and Jane all grew up together.
Ryan : so you do like her.
Scott : just protect her and don't let her go.
Scott : don't you dare hurt her or else i’ll kill you.
Ryan : i know Scott. She is starting to be very special to me.
Scott : she should.
Ryan : i'll make sure i return the favor and take good care of her.
Scott : you better.

I went back to sleep knowing that i had to do something in the morning. I didn't want anyone to fight about me and i didn't want them to get hurt either.
