EMELIALatter night when returned from Ryker's, I came home to quiet the surprise. Caelum was on the sofa, sound asleep with Layla laying on his chest. They both looked awfully comfortable, and when I tried to take her away from him without waking him up, he pulled out a gun. Of course I should have foreseen it supposing he often carries a gun with him.I had taken a picture prior to attempting to take Layla from him, and when he left, I sent Aurora the picture. Aurora hadn't replied to any of my messages that night, or the morning after. Olivia did however call to inquire about Layla and whenever I asked for Aurora, she was either sleeping or busy with something. I thought it was because she was mad about the picture yesterday morning when I took Layla back to her place, I found out she had lost her phone in Vegas.I love that she had the Vegas trip, it seems like it was therapeutic for her, aside from the hangover she had and drunk calling Caelum that is. My little sister Gia left y

SCARLETTCaelum came home tonight, he came early but he also went out just as quickly as he came in. I'm becoming accustomed to him not being here at night, and only getting to me around three or two in the morning. I want to be a typical wife and whine about it but I can't, I'm not a typical wife. Caelum is used to me whining about which dress to wear, what suit he'd look good in next to me and which diamond set I'd like next and I'm not about to change that.My husband is my best friend, we've worked hard to keep our marriage normal as possible and we did have an agreement before we tied the note, Caelum told me one thing and one thing only, "Don't fall in love with me because I can never love you back. As much as I would love to love you like a husband should, I can't Scarlett, I'm not capable of loving like that and if you do fall for someone don't hesitate to tell me so I can free you from this sham we're getting into." This sham as he called it has become the most truthful thing

CAELUMI'm talking to the cops when the ambulance arrives, I don't know where I've gotten the patience to stay calm with these men while my father is losing his life, I'm surprised I haven't pulled my gun out on them. They haven't let me get a word in, instead they're explaining how many traffic and road rules I've broken on my way here and when the ambulance arrives, they shut up, apologizing for keeping me.I rush to my parents backyard, with the paramedics still at the ambulance, gathering a stretcher and other items. My father is sitting straight up with Aurora on one side, and my mother on the other side when I get there. Aurora is helping him drink something while my mother pats his back. My half brother Garrett and his wife Deborah are here, they reside two houses away from my parents so I see how they came here this fast. My sister's Siena and Gianna are here too, Sienna is being comforted by Deborah, while Gia watches the scene from afar, I don't note a look of horror on her

CAELUM AGE EIGHTEENMy parents have been calling me to go home but I don't want to go back, I like it here, I like being near grandfather and I've discovered another thing I like about this place, something I hadn't met when I agreed to relocate overseas for school.My Aurora. Mine, she's mine and I'm never letting her go, I've never met someone who can easily lift my spirits. If anything, I've felt dead and lost for the longest time in my life but when I net her, something in me ignited, it ignited with a burning force. I'm actually thinking to relocating to here, I've found my happiness and heart in this here town.I wish I met her sooner, wish she was the first girl in my life, that girl is so delicate and innocent, I want to give her the works before she even asks for it. When I do meet her parents, I'm going to thank them for being so loving that it imprinted on their daughter, they've got a wonderful daughter and I hope they know that. Grandfather likes their daughter too, he ap

AURORAYesterday was chaotic, but I'm glad it ended well. Caelum's father is doing alright now, and he scheduled an appointment at my mom's hospital, aiming to change and have her as his doctor because if I, her daughter who has no medical background managed to save his life, she can do more. Emelia had come to her parents house almost immediately after they left with Caelum, and I too took my daughter and left when she showed up. Sienna, who seems to have taken a liking to me wouldn't let me leave, she even followed me all the way to my car and put her number in my phone. She's sweet, but she does too much if I'm being honest, she's way too hyper for little ole tired me but drunk me? Heck yeah, we would have a blast together because drunk me has no boundaries, drank me knows no worries, she has the perfect life but she screws up mine, leaving me with hangovers and ex's to sort out.I like Emelia's siblings, they're all close and witty with their interactions, my sisters and I fight a
