Today was Jane's first day at school. And also Kirstin's first day alone in the house.
After Kirstie dropped Jane off, she decided to read some books until her daughter came back.
She checked the bookshelves, full of books that she finished reading already.
Her eyes were scanning the titles of the books while her finger was tracing it.
She eyes and hands stopped on a book. It wasn't really a book. But it was an album.
"The story of our life" she read the title quietly. Her hands traced over the sides of the album. Almost as if she didn't want to open it. The album was in a color of a dark shade of blue and in the middle was a picture. A picture of them at Paris. It was during one of their world tours.
It took all of her courage to open that album. Too much memories. Happiness, sadness, pain......
Her eyes scanned the first page. It was when Avi proposed when they were on a cruise with all the pentatonix members and crews in celebration of their new album being top 3 on billboard 100 and top 1 on billboard 200.
Their photographer was also one of the crew. Which she was grateful for that. This was one of the moments she really wanted to capture. Nicole got it on Snapchat and Esther got a video of it on Avi's Digital LSR camera. They put it on Instagram and all the fans were freaking out when they saw it.
The picture below it was Kirstie's picture showing off her engagement ring.
At the side of the picture, the date was written
12/04/17
That was the day where it all started. The day their story started. The Story Of Their Life.
She turned the next few pages seeing more pictures at the cruise and at some other places.
When she got to a certain page, she saw..... Their wedding...... A tear roles down her face when she saw it. When they were saying their vows, when they said their I do's, when they slipped the finger in each others fingers, their first dance, everything. It all came back to her. All the memories.
At the side of the picture it said:
Forever
2/8/19
Turning a few more pages, she saw Jane's picture when she was still a baby in Kirstie's belly. Which was their first ultrasound. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled. Truly one of the best days of her life.
The next few pictures were just pictures of them. Or them with other people. There was this picture where they met Beyonce. One was Ed sheeran. And the others were with family and friends.
She kept turning the page until she saw New Years Day. They just cuddled on the couch when someone decided to take pictures and post them on Instagram, twitter, and Snapchat.
Turning a few more pages,
She stopped when she saw a picture of Jane again, but this time, she was fully grown. She was in the hospital nursery. That's when she realized, all the pain, all the suffering, it was all worth it just for her.
1/4/20
That's the day she was born which was written at the side.
She wanted to stop. Stop seeing these pictures. But she's seen it now. And it's all in the past. Memories right?
Kirstie saw a picture where they were on tour. They were on a plane for a 16 hour flight.
And that tour was also the tour when he started having those bad headaches.
The next pages were pictures with some fans, or during their reahearsals, or on tourists spots on different countries.
But she stopped when she saw it. The one where Avi was in a hospital bed.
It was one of the worst days of her life. Brain tumor. She remembered how it echoed in her mind whenshe found out.
Avi passed out during one of their performances on your and was immediately rushed to the hospital. Fans were worrying about him. So, Ben decided to tweet a picture that everything's alright.
Her phone rang, letting her know that it was time to pick up Jane from her school. "Has it already been that long?"
"Yes it has." She heard a deep voice.
She looked around her surroundings, not seeing anyone. Weird......
She grabbed her phone and her keys and started to drive to Jane's school.

Not exactly how I wanted but......
