It is finally over with Dason. Tears of relief flow from my eyes, and for the first time I don't care if it seems like I am a cry baby or not. The emotional turmoil this has all caused has been worse than any rollercoaster. I am thankful it has been fast pace for my part in it all, and I can't even begin to think how Molly must feel since she has been battling this for years.

With Dason out the door again to his cell. Bethany wraps us up in a group hug, right here in the court room.

"I can't believe it Athena, it's over." Molly wipes her tears away, and smiles.

"It's hard to believe he is on death row, but at least it is justice for what he has done." Bethany looks at us.

"The most shocking part is he went after the both of us." I shake my head some.

Gills is over talking with the guys, but Zack looks our way and I send him a smile.

"Probably because we look so much alike and being us cousins he got a kick out of it. Sick bastard." Molly huffs out.

Bethany's eyes go wide. "Girlie! I knew there had to be something with how you two look so much alike." She laughs.

"Yeah, found out last night. Mom and Dad shown up at the house. They actually used GPS tracking on my phone to find me."

"Your parents are here?" Bethany's shock mirrors mine from last night.

"Yup."

"Wow that is very different."

"Mom wants to fix things and explained why the way it was with me growing up. I'm willing to try because I always wanted them around and in my life."

"That is amazing Athena." Bethany hugs me tight.

We walk outside and meet the guys. Zack takes my hand and we all leave the court house, not looking back.

"Are you okay Baby?" Mom walks up to us.

"Yeah, Mom I will be. He won't be getting out." I let out a relieved breath.

"Well, I am going to go in and take some walk ins. I need to just start getting back on track and hair is what I love to do." Bethany smirks before walking off, with Brit in toe saying he would see her later.

I smirk and turn to everyone else.

"Are you going in to the station?" I look at Zack.

"Just to update the Chief on the verdict. Then I will meet you where ever you want too."

"Come to the salon." I smile and give him a kiss.

"Do you guys want to take me to my salon? I would like to show it to you. Plus, Molly! Will you being staying around now?" I smile at my cousin.

"You bet I am. He is gone for good. I loved living here before and now especially I can't leave because my cousin lives here."

We walk to the car my parents rented and I give Mom directions until we pull up. I get out of the car and grab Molly's hand, walking inside.

The smells that hit my nose walking in is a friendly welcome.

"Athena!" Chasity runs over from her chair.

I hug her tight. "It's over Chasity and he got the full sentencing."

"So Molly? This is Chasity's station, then here is mine, and over there is Bethany's. That leaves these two open and you can take your pick on which one you want to make yours." I smile at her.

Chasity bounces up and down clapping her hands, just as Bethany walks in to hear it all too.

"I am proud of you Baby. This place is beautiful and very light and friendly." Mom walks around.

"Thanks Mom, it was a place I wanted people to come and enjoy getting their hair done." I smile.

Zack walks in within ten minutes and leans down to give me a kiss.

"Alright you two!" Mom snaps us out of it and I can feel my cheeks redden with heat.

Mom snickers and clears her throat. "You both need to pack because you got a early morning flight. It is not somewhere with water because unless things have changed I remember you can't swim, so it is somewhere else for you two to enjoy on a honeymoon trip."

"What type of clothes do we pack then?" I hint around.

"Actually second thought. Bethany, Chasity, and Molly can pack your bag. That is if you ladies don't mind? I will tell the three of you where they are going but no telling." Mom laughs.

They all jump on board and Chasity knows where everything is along with Bethany. Zack hands her the key for them to be able to get in the house.

I talk with Molly after calling the apartment manager from where I used to live. I know the lease is not up yet but she could go on and move in with a few months left paid for. Molly hugs me tight and the manager told her to come in and get the keys along with signing the papers over into her name when she wants too. So now that is something she is doing once they pack my bags for the trip.

Dad told Zack the outfits that would work, but it has to be nice clothing is all he got.

The day ends with the salon closing and Zack orders us take out. I want nothing more than to go home to see what all is being packed but Zack won't be a kill joy. Instead he drives us out and I know where we are going.

Eestes Springs falls come into view as he parks the truck.

"I love you Athena."

"I love you Zack, and I love our place. Is it weird I can't swim but love the view of this fall?" I giggle.

"Not at all, but that is something I learned about you today." He laughs.

"We have a lifetime of learning each other." I smile at him, while I start eating on my burger.

"That we do Precious. I can't wait for this honeymoon trip, wondering how much sight seeing we will get in because I would love to just keep you in bed."

"Oh, I could go for that." I smirk.

My phone dings and it is Bethany texting that the bags are all packed and ready for me, Zack just has to throw his together when we get home. I swore not to look in them, surely I can wait until morning to find out where we are going.
