Escape from Tragedy

Chapter 42: Life

One Month Later

College and working is starting to catch up to me, its literally to much. Even though I go to school two days out but its a lot of work. Solving fake cases, helping my professor solve actual cases, test, papers.. then working, trying to do homework, trying to make time for Liam, helping Eva. Its a lot but its fine, it keeps me from thinking and letting the guilt, sadness take over. Yesterday made it nine months with out them... It was really hard yesterday but everyone was there for me. We ate tons of junk food and watched my parents and Ethan's favorite movies. I am so glad I have this group of friends. They are literally the best group of friends.. family to have.

Eva is now three months pregnant and she starting to show a little, its the cutest thing ever. She is still staying with us, she feel in love with the apartment down the street from, but it won't be ready for another month or two. So we just told her to stay here, until its ready. We gave her the guest bedroom and she made it her own. I love that she is here, its so cool, literally girls night every night.

Last week was Valentines Day, Liam surprised me with forty-eight roses and peonies bouquet, a card and chocolate. I was in class when the florist delivered it to me, everyone kept talking about it and loving the flowers. I felt so embarrassed but I loved it, he is so sweet. In the card it wrote:

Happy Valentines Beautiful, I hope you love the flowers, see you tonight, be ready by seven. Wear something fancy

Yours truly

Liam

That night we had a private dinner, there was roses everywhere, wine, delicious dinner. It was a very intense night but I loved it. We were so close to having sex, but I'm not ready for that part yet.

"Everyone is coming over tonight" Sophia told us as she brought in grocery bags.

"oh good, I need ya'll help with this case" I told her.

"Where's Eva?" Sophia asked me.

"She mentioned something about helping her mom with something" I lied to her. Eva had an appointment today to get an idea of when she is due and to see if she can find out the sex of the baby. Her mom went with her today, Eva mom is so sweet, Eva looks so much like her too.

"oh okay, hopefully she's back in time for dinner" Sophia said getting all the stuff she needs out the cabinets.

"yeah she will" I told her.

I sat at the breakfast table, trying to solve the case. I'm at a dead end and I need to figure it out because this is due tomorrow... ugh!

"This is so annoying!!" I said annoyed as I stood up.

"Just try and start from the beginning, you might of looked over something that can actually be used" she said trying to help.

I restarted the case from the beginning, looking over the notes I took while trying to solve it... I found one new thing...

"Hey" I heard someone say, I didn't turn to look at who it was, I'm to invested into trying to figure this out.

"hey beautiful" Liam said wrapping his arm around waist and kissed my neck.

"Hey" I said blushing, I turned in his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You're still working on it" He asked me looking at my mess on the table.

"Yeah, its so annoying... I think I'm going to take a break" I told him untangling myself from him.I turned around and started to clean up my mess, organizing it and putting it on the coffee table.
