Two years later

"Baaaaaabe wake up." A voice sounds as the covers are ripped off of me, I groan and pull them back over me as the voice chuckles. "Seriously Sara if you don't wake up I'm going to draw a dick on your forehead." They say as they hover above me.

I open my eyes and am met with the familiar dark brown eyes I had been staring into on a daily basis for the last two years. "Get off me Nathan, your breath reeks of dick." I shove at him as he laughs.

"Come one babe, Natalie wants you." He whispers and I jump out of bed before pulling some clothes on, "Been living with you for two years and you'd think I'd get tired of seeing your tits." He teases and I roll my eyes as I walk into the living room and scoop Natalie up from the ground.

"Hi baby, mommy's here." I coo before settling onto the couch with her in my arms, I mindlessly turn on the TV. "You're mommy's pretty girly." I purr as I bop her on the nose.

"Breaking news, we all remember the heartbreaking house fire up in Napa county that took the life of Vanessa Andrews and her unborn child. After a lengthy investigation they have determined that it was in fact arson and that an arrest warrant was issued for Vanessa's husband Michael Watson." Nathan turns off the TV and sighs before sitting on the coffee table in front of me. 

"Have you talked to Officer Williams?" He asks and I shake my head, what was on the news wasn't news to us. We had known that June morning I got the call about Vanessa who had done it, and that I would be next. What we didn't know is that cop that Ian had seen take Michael away, was Nathan's stepfather and he's as crooked as a cop can be.

They wanted to put me into witness protection but Nathan refused to let me go alone, luckily Santa Cruz is fairly large and had an amazing police force so I purchased a large beach house with the best security possible under a name no one knew. 

We had to change everything though, my hair once long and mahogany brown now short, black and edgy. Nathan dies his hair blonde and keeps it on the longer side, he also got most of his tattoos covered up so he isn't identifiable. 

The only two people I kept contact with was Liam and Niall, I knew Emily would be Michael's next target but luckily she's at a college thousands of miles away.

My heart broke when I got the phone call about Vanessa, I wish she had said yes. I could of saved her. Most of all I wish Harry had finished Michael off that prom night, but you can't dwell in the past.

"Come on, I made you some breakfast." Nathan suggests, I sigh and get up before placing Natalie in her high chair. After sitting next to her Nathan puts a microwave breakfast sandwich in front of me and I laugh as I shake my head, "I'm not Martha Stewart." He snaps and I roll my eyes.

"You wish you were though." I tease as he sits down, he catches my gaze and smiles at me sweetly.

Nathan and I have been good, it was hard for a while because he was working so much of his abuse out with a therapist. It was just a month or two after Natalie was born that he finally sat me down and told me he was gay. Not going to lie, I was in shock. I mean Nathan is good looking and always had a way with the ladies.

His therapist made him realize that's because it's what he thought he should do, that it would make him be more manly. I told Nathan that he's still a man, whether he's gay or not doesn't take that away.
