Not As It Seems (Alaskan Bush People Story: Sequel to Love)

Closer

Anonymous 2 POV

She looked out of her window to find me. I knew she was out for blood. She was wanting to take my life from me. I wanted her pay for what she is doing.

Lacy POV

I wake up the next morning to Grace feeding both of the babies. I smile at her as I walk to the bathroom to get ready. I step into the shower and it felt amazing to have the hot water roll down my back. I hate to get out of the shower but I needed to get to the theatre. I step out and wrap the towel around me. I get dressed as I walk back out into our room. Gabe and Noah were about to walk out the door. Both of them kissed each of their children's heads and Gabe kissed Grace. Then Noah came over to kiss me. "Love you, I'll see you tonight." "Love you too." I finish getting ready as Grace was staying with the kids today. She was off today and then she was on call for the rest of the week. I kiss Stefan and Valerie before I leave. I wave to Grace as I leave the motel. I walk to my rental car and drive to the theatre. Today we had auditions for the Darlings, the lost boys, and Peter Pan. Then we were going to spend tonight deliberating on our choices.

Blaine POV

I'm elbow deep in clay. I don't have an idea of what the picture is going to be but I hope it will turn out to be something. It's going to be a long day.

Eleanor POV

Grace, Amelia, and I were taking care of the kids. We were giving them their lunch as the boys walked in. They looked exhausted from the job. They sat down on the couch that was in the room. To let the boys, get some time to rest, we take the kids outside. We saw a playground down the road a few days ago.

Gabe POV

I haven't been this tired in a long time. We had to have the project done by this afternoon to get paid the extra amount of money. I actually get to sleep in the bed. I fall asleep before my head hit the pillow and I hear Noah snoring.

Lacy POV

We finally finished the auditions, now the yelling begins. "I think he should be Mr. Darling! He gives him a sense of villain but not a villain. He does more for the role than I thought he would." "That doesn't make any sense! I think the guy that had come in the other day for Captain Hook, that asked you out, he should play both roles." "I wouldn't give him a role in the background. He was horrible." "You're the director, you choose. I'm clearly not going to have a say." "No, I want you to help me. You were chosen to help me." "Okay, let's do this, we take my choice for Mr. Darling and your choice for Wendy. Does that work for you?" "I guess I can be okay with that." We had finalized the cast. Thank God! He would be making all the calls tomorrow as I went over the entire script to map out every single detail. Sets, props, costumes, and everything in-between. Andrew and I say goodbye as we walk to our vehicles. I felt like someone was watching me. I drive back to the motel and walk back to our room. Noah is sitting outside in a chair waiting on me. "Why are home so late?" "Andrew and I were fighting about the cast. He is making calls tomorrow as I map out the details in the script." "You are going to be here tomorrow?" "Yes, but I might go across the street to the Starbucks. That is one place I do miss when living in the bush." "Let's go bed." He led me into the room but I stop to turn around to look outside "I feel like someone is watching me." "What do you mean?" "Ever since I left the theatre, I have felt like someone was watching me." "Maybe you have been out of the city for a long time." "I guess." We walk inside as I get ready for bed. I wash my face and brush my teeth as Noah settle down on the floor. I lean down to kiss him as I lay on my side.

Matt POV

Amelia and I were celebrating our anniversary today. I wanted to do something special for her. We had been married for three years and I had decided to let her sleep in, have a nice lunch, then take a walk in the park. Eleanor told me to give Amelia a day off, Eleanor would be taking one tomorrow with Bam. We wanted them to get out of the motel. I wake Isabella and Ana to give the girls to Eleanor the next morning. Bear walks out with them. I'm actually alone with my wife. She finally wakes up around eleven. "Where is Isabella?" "Eleanor picked her up this morning. You and I are spending the day together. It's our third anniversary today." "I love those kids but I need a day away." "Good and I want to start our day here in this bed." I lean down to kiss her as gave into my every touch. I think she had missed me. The last time we had made love, was a month before we left. I think with trying to get Browntown ready for winter and Isabella becoming a handful.

After making love, we step into the shower and go for a round 2. We get ready and make our way to our nice picnic in the park.

Bam POV

I could hear them in the next room over. They were loud. I try to drown them out as the kids were getting their morning nap. Gabe and Grace were sitting outside on a bench. Noah was across the street with Lacy at a coffee shop. I was sitting with Eleanor as she had her head in my lap. I miss our walks on the beach. We walked on the beach at sunset at least once a week. To have both of my girls with me, was an amazing feeling. If Chris had killed Eleanor, I wouldn't have Diana. I don't know if I could live without my girls. I could see the silhouette of someone walking outside of the door. They didn't come in. I could see the shadow of feet under the door. If it was anyone in the family, they had a key. I lift Eleanor gently off of my lap and lay her back down. I walk over to the door and I open it to see nobody. There wasn't anyone walking either direction. I walk back inside to watch all of the kids sleep. They take a two-hour nap and its time for lunch. Eleanor wakes all of the kids up to have them ready to eat. I bring the food back and Eleanor looks worried. I have her step outside as the others watched the kids. "Is there something wrong?" "There was a man here, looking for Lacy. He was upset that she wasn't here. He said that he needed to see her." "Did you tell him where she was?" "No, he kind of scared me. After he walked away, I had a flashback about when Chris had hurt me for the first time." I didn't say anything; I didn't need to. I pulled her into my arms for she knew she was safe. We continued to play with the kids for the rest of the afternoon. They had played hard and then it was time for everyone to go to bed.

Lacy POV

I was on the last few pages of the script. I hand was starting to hurt as I wrote the last few sentences. Everyone in my room was already asleep. We had our first cast meeting tomorrow with the first read through. I had to have this finished by tonight. I go to take a shower before bed. I'm enjoying the warm water, then I feel a pair of hands around my waist. It's only Noah. I relax knowing it was him. He cleaned me and we got out of the shower. I lay down on the bed as Noah looked up at me. "I love you" "More" Then we fell asleep for another long day.

Anonymous POV

She didn't give me the role. That bitch! I saw her husband with her today in the coffee shop. She was beautiful with her brown hair that shined when the sun was shining. Her blue sparkled when she laughed. I needed her.

Anonymous POV

Does she always have to be surrounded my all these people? I could just take out the entire family. That would make it even better for me. I could get her outside the theatre or the motel. It was close when I was standing at the door of one of their rooms. I didn't want one of them to see me.

The next night, Lacy was leaving the theatre when she was grabbed from behind. She was taken into in ally and beaten to death. She didn't have a way to contact anyone. She thought she was good as dead. Then she heard the sound of a siren as her eyes closed.
