When people say it's hard to imagine a life without your significant other I can't relate. Simply because it is impossible. My life without Ethan Bailey is just non-existent. One cannot be without the other and I wouldn't have it any other way.

As much as I loved Ethan, life together going to book clubs and white picket fences just seemed like a fairytale far far away from here. Our bond started with tragedy and life still seemed to test us more constantly.

Still, some type of normal life was a dream I desperately clung to, to get through this. That one day we would be finally able to rest. Once Sam was dead this entire mess would be done. Richie would be avenged and everything we worked for would be accomplished. We'd be free. Free to live our lives together.

I ran my fingers over Ethan's, his strong hands were holding my stomach securely as he hugged me from behind. His touch always grounded me back into reality when my thoughts spiraled out of control.

He said nothing and so did I as we swayed in each other's arms for a few minutes just basking in each other's presence.

"My god," I sighed looking at the time.

It was 2:38am, lots of people were still at the party but since the ghostface attacks for the night were finished our alibis were tied and we were finally home. My shoulders had relaxed the instant Ethan closed the door behind me.

He brushed his soft lips against my shoulder as his fingers quickly went to the zipper on the back of my suit.

"Chad will be home soon," I murmured a warning.

"Guess we better be quick," he whispered into my ear, making me shiver.

He brought his lips to my neck planting kisses but just as his fingers moved the zipper down an inch the sound of the deadbolt unlocking filled the room.

I sighed as Ethan retreated his fingers and turned to greet Chad, covering my partly exposed back as quickly as he could until I covered myself with my hair. Although Chad probably wouldn't have noticed, Ethan is protective of me. Not that I minded at all. In fact I enjoyed it whenever he showed his jealousy.

"Hey you guys," Chad started as he took off his shoes nonchalantly.

"Nice timing," Ethan rolled his eyes annoyed.

As Chad closed the door behind him he turned with a confused expression until he understood as he glanced between us. "Oh, sorry. Just as Quinn's timing was unfortunately," he murmured.

I glanced at Ethan for a moment before looking back at Chad, feigning a surprised and joyful expression. "You and Tara...?"

He had a smug smile on his face as he nodded. "Well, we kissed."

"Nice," Ethan smiled awkwardly patting him on the back while I rolled my eyes.

"How's everyone doing?" I asked with a concerned expression.

"Spooked but alright. Nobody was hurt. Everyone's sticking together and that's the main thing." As Chad spoke I nodded.

"Keep an eye on her, alright?" I gave him a slight smile.

He turned to walk towards his room but hesitated, "I would tell you both to stick together but I don't think I need to. You already do," he smiled not unkindly before walking by.

Ethan stood behind me like a shadow, a shadow that would step in front of a bullet for me. A shadow that hid a knife behind his back as he watched over me. For now, though, we could lower our guard a little.
