Lauren's  P.O.V

"You're sure you're ready for this?" Ally asks me. I asked her to come with me to pick out an engagement ring after Normani and I went to see a few houses Normani and I were thinking of moving in to. We've been in the store for about maybe 10 minutes and I don't really see anything I like.

"Yeah I'm sure Ally. There's no one else I'd want to be with." I say and Ally nods.

"You see anything you like?" She asks and I shake my head. We leave and go get some pizza. Normani and Dinah are out with the kids and Kehlani was supposed to meet us but Emily has been keeping her busy.

"How's Mani been?" Ally asks.

"Sane for the most part. How are you and the tree top?" I ask and Ally rolls her eyes.

"Okay, how are you and Dinah?"

"Awesome." I chuckle a little and take a bite of my pizza.

"You guys have sex now?" Ally nods.

"It's really good too. She can do this thing with her -"

"Al, I have to stop you right there. I'm eating and I would like to keep it down. I don't want to hear about what Dinah Jane is like in bed." Ally pouts a little but nods.

"Fine. Did you and Mani decided when you're going to move."

"Yep. We're going to wait until the end of the school year so Maya doesn't have to transfer or anything." Ally nods and we continue talking.

I notice a man, a few tables from us, looking at me. What the fuck? I get a little nervous but something about the man is familiar. I don't know what it is though. He smiles at me and waves and I turn away. Why does he look so familiar? As Ally and I start to walk out the door I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and it's this guy again.

"I'm not interested so stop being creepy." I say and he laughs. Even that sounds familiar. I notice he has a cane though. I don't know anyone with a cane.

"Not happy to see your old basement buddy?" He says. Oh. My. God!

"Aaron?" I say shocked and he smiles and nods. I hug him as tightly as possible and he hugs me just as tight.

"You look so different with a haircut." I say as I pull away. We've been home for about two months and this dude is seriously buff and he looks so nice without all that hair everywhere. I didn't even know he had dimples.

"I think that's a compliment." I nod.

"You look good. How'd you get so big so fast?" I ask and he shrugs.

"I went home and ate anything I could get my hands on and hit the gym. You look good too." He says and I hug him again. I'm so happy to see him. I quickly introduce him to Ally then ask.

"How have you been? What's with the cane?" I ask and glances at it.

"I've been adjusting, not bad though. They had to break my leg and reset it again." I look down at his leg and notice the cast now too.

"Damn. Did that hurt?" I ask.

"Not as bad as the first time. Why don't you guys come to my table so we can catch up?" I nod and we follow Aaron back to where he was eating with his brother. We do some quick introductions then start talking again.

Aaron is doing great. He and his wife are still together. He said she had got really depressed when he disappeared. His brother and sister in law helped her as much as possible though. His son doesn't hate him and his daughter moved back home. He says he's going to move out of New York and head west. He was just as pissed as I was when he heard that bastard got away. He's making it his personal mission to find that guy and kill him.
