" If I were you, Evelyn, I would put that gun down and stand back. "
Her sickening voice traveled to my ears. I turned around to look at her dead in the eyes. She gulped and cowered a little at the direct eye contact. Keeping my eyes locked...

One and a half weeks had passed and today was the day when Ryan was to be discharged from the hospital. Evan and Stella had both been discharged within two days but the doctors had decided to keep Ryan under observation for a longer time, seeing that his injuries were much more severe and they wanted to make sure that there weren't any underlying internal injuries in his head.
Ryan was absolutely delighted at being able to go home today and I couldn't help but laugh at the goofy grin on his face.
Everybody was still here in New York. Jenny and Evan had been inseparable ever since he was discharged and their public display of affection was making everyone else in the house sick. It was safe to say that they were beating Aiden and Mia's scores now.
Noah and Sophia were making the best of this opportunity and visiting every tourist place they could find in New York. Even I was surprised at the number of new and fascinating cafes that they had discovered in this time period.
Mia had just hit her first trimester three days ago and her pregnancy was now getting the best of her. If you needed to find that girl the only place to look was in the kitchen or her bedroom. As for Aiden, I was surprised to see him act like a loving and caring boyfriend. Yup, I said boyfriend. They both had made it official last week finally. I only needed to give Aiden an earful once but that's beside the point.
Everyone was staying over at my house and Michael was determined to make the house look like my parent's home again. He and Victoria had fully taken over that project. And Stella couldn't be any happier to help them as best as she could.
Wondering about Jack? He was in London with his soon-to-be wife Zoey and his little angel who was just a week or two away from coming into this world. I was happy for him and his new family.
As for me, Alex and Luna, for the past week we had been taking turns to stay the night with Ryan at the hospital and they were extremely happy that Ryan was finally getting discharged. You see sleeping on the hospital couch wasn't exactly the best experience, for them, not for me though. Ryan didnt let me sleep anywhere else but beside him on the bed. And it was safe to say we had annoyed more nurses here than we would like to admit. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do to stay close to each other.
Speaking of Katherine's case, that she-devil was six feet under now and wasn't going to bother us ever again. Nora and Jared had traveled over to New York and Nora's statement had buried the case once and for all. Apparently, she had some recorded calls that she showed the police and they had affirmed that Katherine was indeed the offender here and that I had killed her in self-defense. We had all been extremely happy when we had received the news. And the best thing that came out of all of this was that I got to spend some more time with my childhood friend. Jared and I had caught up on a lot of things, and yeah, everything was good again. I was happy finally.
Coming back to the present, I was sitting with Ryan on the hospital bed as Alex talked to the doctor. After a few more minutes Alex entered the room and we looked over at him expectantly. " Dr. Ritsburg says we can go now. " Ryan cheered excitedly and quickly got up from the bed. I laughed at his childish antics and got up too.
