Silas Montgomery
5 years later

I looked up at Evie as she called my name. The past 5 years have been good. We moved back to New Orleans and Evie has been sober for ten years now. Sy'Rai is 16, Emmy is 12, Solana is 8 and Elias is 7.

We moved to be closer to Scott and Liv since something happened to them , being around the time Liv got pregnant with their second child , Michaela. She was born premature so me and Evie had to take care of Liv and the baby while Scott was a work.

Evie made it clear with me she didn't want anymore kids.

Evie - have you seen your sister?

Silas - not since she left for school this morning.

Evie - this girl is gonna be the death of me

Silas - what you mean?

Evie - she told me not to tell you , but she has a boyfriend.

Silas - for how long?

Evie - maybe 4 months. The boy is really nice

Silas - you met him and you didn't tell me?

Evie - you know how you are.

Silas - but 4 months Evie.

Evie - yes.

Silas - I didn't hide you.

Evie - you wouldn't have been able to hide me.

Silas - call my sister

She called Sy'Rai.

Evie - hey Rai, he knows.

Sy'Rai - okay I'll bring Jack over.

Evie - okay.

She hung up.

Silas - my baby sister really got a boyfriend

The door opened , 15 minutes later and Sy'Rai came in with some white boy.

Silas - How old are you?

Jack - 17

I looked at Evie.

Silas - you ain't 17. His beard longer than mine

Evie - shut up. You had facial hair in high school when we started dating. I just make you cut the shit now. Leave them alone

Sy'Rai Montgomery

I laughed as Evie took Si outside. Jack looked at me.

Rai - my brother is harmless.

Jack - you told me he was crazy

Rai - I wasn't lying. Hurt me if you want to , you'll find out.

Jack - I wasn't planning on doing that. So they're like your parents?

Rai - basically yeah. Silas been taking care of me for as long as I can remember and when Evie came into the picture , everything fell in place. Those two have been together since I was 6.

Jack - where's your mom?

Rai - I don't know and I don't care.

I am honestly so grateful that my brother met Evie because I didn't really connect with any of the other girls she brought home and with Evie. It was easy.

Silas Montgomery

Evie laid her head on my chest.

Evie - don't look in the house. Give them privacy

Silas - we have never had privacy because we always had a kid around

Evie - we can have all the alone time we want when they go off to college. I trust Sy'Rai.

Silas - you can get off me

Evie - ima sit right here in your lap because you are not getting up to interrogate that boy

Before meeting Evie , I felt like my life didn't have any excitement , being with her isn't easy but I don't think I could ever be without her. I thought just being friends would be enough for me at first until I realized I was in love with her and watching her struggle throughout that time period in our lives , made me understand and love her even more.

Evie - what Silas?

Silas - I was just thinking

Evie - about?

Silas - us. All we've been through. You're 10 years sober

Evie - and I got you and Rai to thank for that.

She kissed me.

Silas - and I got you to thank you sticking by me. Even through my bullshit.

I don't think I know another woman that would put up with me for this long , except Evie and I glad she's the person who given my life that euphoric feeling because before her I was drifting and won't trade that feeling for the world.
