16 months later

Life had changed for me and Billie. In the last year and a bit, we had put out an album, I had given birth to our daughter Joanna, and we'd gone on tour with Mike and Tre.

So, it had been pretty crazy.

Everyone seemed happy, though. But don't forget how fast happiness can be ruined.

It was a Friday morning around noon. Me and Billie were just chilling in our hotel room on our day off, which was rare on tour.

"Y'know, I don't wanna jinx bad luck or anything, but I actually feel pretty great right now." I admitted, laying on the king sized bed with Billie.

"Yeah, me too." he replied.

"But what about those weird pains you sometimes get?" I asked, acknowledging the fact that Billie had been getting weird pains in his abdomen lately. It had been on my mind a lot.

"Well, other than that I feel good.".

The phone rang, and I sprang up from the bed. "Hello?" I answered.

"Hi. Liz, is that you?".

"Yes.".

"It's Jakob.".

"Oh, hey, Jakob. How are you?" I asked. There was a long pause. "You still there?".

"Yeah. I... I have some...  really... bad... news." Jakob replied.

I froze, my mind instantly going to Joanna. We had left her with Jakob while we were away on tour. "Okay... what happened?" I asked hesitantly, my heart beginning to thump rapidly.

"Joanna is dead.".
