I was happy to meet Brianna a few weeks ago. She has been helping me out alot. She'd sit there listening to my crazy stories and not judge me about them.
She's been coming around to our PTSD meetings listening and supporting us. She sat everytime in the same seat, arms over her crossed leg and sincere look. She was a great listener.
Today was no exception. She got up swiftly after the meeting. Running her fingers through her hair. I can tell something was bothering her.

Brianna's POV Evelyn and I have been really busy with paperwork at my dad's office. I can't believe there is so many boxes of paper to sort out....paperwork that hasn't been filed and properly filled in.The numbers make no sense, and everything is making me so confused. I decided we should take a break heading back up to my place. I had Evelyn drive back home in her car while I stopped to get food for us. When I got to the dinner, there was alot of the girls that had been rushing for that alpha nu whatever they call it sorority. Kaitlyn was being really rude to some of the girls but i decided to stay out. It was their choice to get into this sorority thing, so i guess if they endured it, it's because they want to. I quickly walked towards the register. The waiters were already getting to know me, so I placed my order hoping to receive my food quickly so i can get out.

Brianna's POVI woke up early next morning. Jake was still sound asleep. Laying on his stomach. I leaned forward giving him a kiss on his cheek. He had a light stubble growing and made my nose tickle when I leaned forward to kiss him, making me sneeze as it tickled my nose.He was perfect.... His hair a ruffled mess. He kept complaining about going to get a hair cut, but hadn't had time to go to the barber in a while. I didn't mind, the ear length hair made him look pretty sexy to me. I ran my hands through his hair, interlacing my fingers through his soft brown strands... he muffled in his sleep, I could see the small grin creeping up in his lips as he stirred there gripping the pillow with his hands. I love him, he was perfect.I went downstairs to get breakfast started, turned on the coffee machine and began to cook for both of us. I decided on an easy task, bacon and eggs. I turned the fire on, placing a skillet on top, c

Evelyn tried to pin her veil delicately on the back of her head.She shivered with nervousness. Her eyes threatened to become glossy, as she tried to fight back the uncontrollable urge to shake her whole body. The pit of her stomach feeling butterflies mixed with the sudden kicks from her little one was not the best combination at this time."Hold still will you?" Evey glared annoyingly at her."I know...
