All Chapters of Happily Not Chosen : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Two months laterArnold's P.O.VErnie is turning seven today. I can't believe that Elizabeth and Ernie have been in my life for the last eight years now. Time really does fly when you are having fun and that is exactly what I have been having with Ernie. The same cannot be said about Elizabeth. She is sad because she still misses the little girl that we had given up for adoption at birth. She doesn't show it openly anymore and she doesn't do anything for her on their shared birthday anymore, because Ernie is at the age when he would be starting to ask questions and we both don't want to be the one that would need to be answering those.Everything has been going better. Elizabeth has a job and I have a better one that is bringing in more money. We haven't struggled financially in a while, not that we are rolling in the dough as they say either, we have enough to get by and have everything that we need and that makes m

A week later  Anne's P.O.V Dad's funeral is today. I don't think I will make it through the whole service, but I do have to try and be as strong as possible for mum. His body is still missing so the funeral is just a formality for mum to try and say goodbye. I know that I wouldn't be able to say goodbye to dad without having definite proof that he is indeed gone but I will go and pay my last respect to my beloved father's coffin even if it is just so that mum would think I'm doing fine. I really need mum to be okay. Arriving at the church for the service I was overcome with a great sadness. All you could see was all the business people that knew dad as the business man he was. There wasn't anyone other than me and mum that knew dad as the loving father and husband he was. I already miss him and it hasn't even been a week. How will I live my life without him? I mean I wanted dad to meet my boyfri

Three weeks later Anne's P.O.VWith the help of my singing instructor and mum, I had decided that I would be trying to organize a small concert for myself and see how that would go. I mean I have sung in public before at my residles and at special events for people that are close to me, so the singing part wasn't going to be new and strange. The new part was going to get people to actually come and buy tickets to the concert. "You won't believe me but I need to tell you that the tickets are sold out. You are performing in front of a full house." Liam and mum said in unison while I was busy getting ready for the show, worrying that there wouldn't be anyone in the audience. Well, it looks like I'm going to do a show tonight and the tickets are sold out. " Mom, you want to come to my concert? I got backstage passes for you and Elizabeth?"" Yes, honey, that sounds like fun. I'll d

Anne's P.O.VHe asked me to marry him. I can't believe it. I am just so happy. Although I did expect it to happy some or other time now I didn't expect for it to happy so soon. He had only asked my mum like a week ago and he told her that he still needed to go and get the ring he wants to ask me with. No judging I was walking past my mums office on my way to the kitchen after I got back from a meeting that was cancelled last minute when I heard them talking. I decided to continue walking and leave them be and chatting when I heard my name and the words marry and ring so I stood as quite as I could at the door listening what they discussed. Mum's squeal at the end almost had me caught out. When he dropped me at home and said goodbye I already started missing him. Hopefully mum is still awake so we could do something that would tire me out enough not to miss Liam that much anymore. I walked into the house and called

Liam's P.O.VI just got of the phone with my boss. Seems like there are problems at the branch overseas and I would need to go and try and fix these again. They apparently specifically asked for me because of how I handled the problems the last time. I doubt if this is true. He likes sugar coating everything to get you to do what he wants done. I don't think I will be at the firm much longer. I just need to find another job first before I resign. Yes, we have money, but working a job keeps the mind busy and the bank accounts filled up. How do you think rich people stay rich?Convientely the time I need to go and help is the same time as Anne's second tour, so I can go along and keep an eye on her and make sure she isn't overdoing it, especially with her now having to do the treatment course as well when we are in the same place as I'm going to be stationed at the head offices and she will be moving around doing shows. I don't
