Chapter 30- All Is Fair In Love And War

“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.”~ Allen Saunders

Conor's POV

"Have a nice nap babe?"

She yawns before turning around to face me with a sleepy smile plastered onto her face. She hhmm's in response. I chuckle at her. "What time is it?"

"Erm just hit half four."

"Oh. So I only slept an hour?"

I nod at her. She turns back around to face the wall opposite us. We are both currently sat on her couch, with our feet down the length it. Anna's back to my chest, sat between my legs. We both continue to stare at the blank wall ahead of us while a comfortable silence falls in with us. I allow myself to think about everything that is happening right now in my life, and how thankful I am towards it all. My album is coming out in just two weeks! I have a beautiful girl at my side who I know isn't with me for fame and money. My family love her, we are both happy. Everything is perfect. Well except for Jake being in the way. But I know I don't have to worry about him. If worst comes to worse I could just get rid of him. I inwardly laugh at the thought of me attempting to murder someone. I would definitely get cut off my label then. But... they wouldn't have to know. I could just lure him into a forest telling him I want to talk to him and then attack him with a huge log across the back of his head. And to stop his scream from being heard I could-

My thoughts get cut off by a peaceful voice. "I wish I could live in this moment right now, forever."

"Me too. But then we would never complete our stories."

"Huh?"

"Well we are all living our lives, and each life has a story which has a moral. And to complete the story you need to live life."

"Right. So what are the chapters of this story then?"

"Whatever you make them to be. You see, every event that happens is a new chapter, and once that event is finished so is that chapter and then you move on to the next."

"Well how does this story end? When you die?"

"No. Not necessarily. Well I guess in some terms yes, but it ends when you get your happily ever after."

"They don't exist Conor." I can almost feel her roll her eyes at the thought.

"Yes they do."

"Nope."

"Yes."

"No, because this is reality not some fairy-tale. You won't always get a perfect ending"

"I know that, but if you are not happy, or it's not perfect then it's not the end is it? The story goes on."

I think she is taking what I said into consideration because she doesn’t say anything else. Minutes later she replies.

"Well, I think this is the ending of my story then."

I smile to myself understanding what she means. "Let's go."

"Where?"

"It is the college Poker Night today."

"Isn't that like gambling?"

"It's just fun. And anyways it's not real poker, more like card games." She gets up off me.
