Lizzie p.o.v

I insisted on paying Silas back but he kept refusing my offer I feel awful that he gave up all his saving to come and rescue me, he saved for years to get that money all his birthday money since he was 5 to his first pay check and his money from the army all gone he was gonna use that money for when he settle down I cant let him do this its not fair I will pay him back I won't leave my only brother penniless not saying a word to either of them I grab my purse, phone, car keys and the check then dash out the door I hear them calling for me as I get in my car and drive off. After driving for a while I stop outside the bank I wait a few minutes before going my phone starts ringing so I take it out to look at the caller ID and its Silas I sign then turn it off and shoving it back into my bag and go into the bank.I cash in the check but need to wait till tomorrow or the day after for of it to clear before I can transfer the money into Silas account.

I start to get hungry so I head to the café across the street for some lunch after I am done and  paid the bill I go back to my car then start to drive again. I soon come to a stop to a building I haven't seen on years, my old dancing studio. I place one hand over my little bump as I look to the building I talk to my bump.

Lizzie - dunno if you hear me yet little one but this is where mummy used to dance I wonder if the other dancers at still here. What do you think should we go in?

I suddenly need to urge to pee and since I know there are toilets in there I get out the car heading inside. Once I am done i wash my hands and go to leave the bathroom but when I leave the bathroom I bump into a hard thing i was expecting to hit the floor however before I could even lose my balance I am steadied which causes me to look to what or should I say who I bumped into.

Lizzie - oh my god Matt?

Matt - Lizzie? Oh my it's been a while. How have you been?

Lizzie - long story, I see your still dancing here thought you would be a pro by now.

Matt - I was but it got boring I needed a new challenge so I train the new dancers now but no one has your style and grace.

I laugh. Matt is my old dancing partner back from when I did double tournaments and was my biggest fan in single tournaments. We go into the studio rest room where we can have our breaks and we sit at a table as matt hands me a bottle of unopened water from the fridge.

Lizzie - so how's your other half doing?

Matt - he's good still a hot headed pain in my ass but I still madly love him.

Yep he's gay.

Lizzie - I take it you have all the new girls drooling over you still?

Matt - yep they still think I am making it being gay just so I won't sleep with them some of them are right little sluts. That is until my husband came here and kissed me in front of them.

I laugh.

Matt - what about you? I can see the little bump how far are you?

Lizzie - 7/8 weeks and no its not Trevor's thank god.

Matt - thank fuck never liked him, still can't believe he made you quit when you loved to dance.

Lizzie - I moved on, I have a new better man.

Matt - ohhhh tell me more.

Lizzie - I see you still want all the details.

Matt - fuck yeah.

I roll my eyes at him Matt was always there for me but he doesn't know about the abuse that Trevor gave me so I guess this is a good time to tell him about it. I tell him nearly everything leaving out the part about Skylar being Atlantean I finish off with telling him about Gabriel and the money.

Matt - dammm girl I am so sorry you had to though all that, first off why didn't you tell me you know I would of helped you.

Lizzie - I was scared Matt he already thought I was sleeping with you no matter how many times I told him you were gay.

Matt - fair point, anyway this new man of yours I am guessing its his baby.

Lizzie - yep it's still early days in the pregnancy tho so fingers crossed he's like his dad.

Matt - you got a pic of him?

Lizzie - yeah one second

I turned my phone back on it comes up with 15 missed calls from Silas, 10 missed calls from Dakota, 6 from Hazel and a text from Skylar using Silas number.

Skylar - baby where are you? Please call one of us back we are so worried. Please just let us know you are safe my queen I just got you back I don't wanna lose you again. I love you.

Matt - cute text now show me him.

I roll my eyes laughing then pull up a pic of him one where his gills aren't showing even tho you can hardly see them from a distance.

Matt - he's sexy,

Lizzie - mine.

We talk for a couple of hours and do some dance moves for old times sack I send a text to Dakota telling her to tell everyone that I am ok and safe o will be home soon. Before leaving the dance studio Matt gives me his number so we can keep in contact. On the drive back I use my Bluetooth to call the hospital Gabriel is at to get a update since its way past visiting hours thank you very much Matt I swear he's one amazing friend but he talks like there's no tomorrow. They tell me he's in a stable condition but hasn't woken up yet so I will go to see him tomorrow, it's dark when I reach home I park my car and grab my stuff then when I go to head inside a voice calls my name I look around only to see a person I don't like.

Lizzie - what do you want Isis?

Isis - so you do remember me?

Lizzie - trust me I did forget you until now.

Isis - well you will remember this.

She smirks as she takes off her robe to reveal a swollen belly no no she can't be please no.

Isis - me and Skylar are having a baby together.

I can't take it anymore as I scream from the top of my lungs.

Lizzie - SKYLAR!!!!
