Chapter 49! Sorry for the late update, my mind as been wandering lately and I've had doubts about this story. So it's Eva's birthday in this chapter, there will be a few funny parts involving A and I hope it makes sense lol Thanks for the Reviews, Alerts and to the unknown people who read my story.
I've been thinking about Beyond This Love, I've decided to reopen the story and write a few more chapters to it until SJ dies. I've got many ideas for it still, also I miss B and SJ lol You'll see why I want to continue BTL in this chapter.
Also I've got a DeviantArt page now, I'll be doodling a few scene from my stories and posting them on there when I've got a chance. I warn you my doodles may suck, I've done some really good drawings in my time and that's when I put some effort into it lol The address for my site is on my fanfiction profile.
R&R?
I hope you enjoy this chapter :)

Eva rolled over onto her side on the sofa, she yawned as she opened her eyes and sniffled. She leant on her hand as she sat up, she looked around her Uncle's dimly lit apartment, she tucked her dark long hair behind her ear and sighed deeply. She pulled the red fleece off her, she placed her feet down on the floor and stretched her arms above her head as she slowly got up from the sofa.
" Uncle A?" Asked Eva, she looked around the dimly lit living room and smiled when she noticed her Uncle sleeping at the kitchen table with his head resting on the table top." Are you awake?"
Eva chuckled when she got a loud snore for a reply, she walked over towards the kitchen table and brushed her Uncle's blonde fringe away from his closed eyes. She took his mobile phone from his finger tips, she placed it down on top of a pile of case file folders and picked his empty blue mug up from the table.
" Uncle Aiden..." Whispered Eva, she gently pattered his shoulder with her hand and bit at her bottom lip." I'm making you a fresh cup of tea..."
" Yeah okay..." Mumble A.
Eva smiled as her Uncle yawned, she walked into the kitchen, she flicked the switch on the kettle and placed the mug on the kitchen counter. She switched the kitchen light on and took a red sugar canister from the counter. She spooned two teaspoons of sugar into the mug, she looked at her reflection in the teaspoon and frowned to herself.
" What time is it?" Yawned A from the kitchen table." Surely it can't be morning already..."
" I'm not sure what time it is, but I'm pretty sure it's morning..." Smiled Eva, she looked over her shoulder at her Uncle and giggled." You look terrible."
" Hey! I heard that!" Sighed A as he itched the back of his head and yawned again." What time is it?"
" It's just after 7:30am." Asked Eva, she turned her attention back towards the boiling kettle and sighed." It's still pretty early..."
" Damn it! I've got to finish these case files off yet!" Whined A.
" But are you not tired?" Asked Eva, she placed the teaspoon down on the counter and took a teabag from a canister." Have you been to bed yet?"
" No, I've been up for most of the night watching over you and working..." Answered A.
" You need your rest Uncle A, you'll make yourself ill if you don't sleep now and again..." Sighed Eva, she poured some hot water into the mug from the kettle and placed back down on the counter." But I slept okay, why don't you go to bed for a few hours and I'll wake you up at lunch time. I'll cook if you like..."
" I'll be alright sugar, besides it's my job to look after you and make sure you're okay..." Yawned A.
" I know, but you work to much and I worry about you when I'm at school..." Sighed Eva, she dropped the teabag into the mug of hot water and picked the teaspoon up from the counter." You look like you have lost some weight too, have you been eating properly?"
" Look at you being all mini Mum with me..." Chuckled A.
" I'm being serious..." Pouted Eva, she placed the teaspoon in the mug and walked over towards the fridge." I just worry about you, you're my Uncle and..."
" Eva!" Snapped A.
" What?" Asked Eva, she stopped in front of the fridge and looked at her Uncle over her shoulder as she opened the fridge door." What have I done wrong?"
" Nothing, just please stop worrying about me and let me worry about you..." Answered A.
" Fine!" Mumbled Eva, she turned her attention back to the fridge and tilted her head as she looked inside of it." We need more milk and strawberry jam..."
" I'll go food shopping tomorrow..." Sighed A.
Eva took a half empty bottle of milk from the fridge, she closed the fridge door behind her and walked back over to the kitchen counter. She poured a bit of milk into the mug and placed the milk bottle down on the counter. She stirred the tea with the teaspoon, she tapped it on the rim of the mug and picked the mug up from the counter-side.
" Uncle A, why don't you get some sleep for a while..." Smiled Eva, she walked over towards the kitchen table and placed the mug of tea down in front of her Uncle." I'll be okay for a few hours by myself, I'll sit in front of the television and watch Sponge Bob Square Pants well I eat some cereal..."
" What did I say not long ago?" Asked A.
" I just thought..." Answered Eva.
" Crap! It's your Birthday!" Interrupted A, he jumped up from his chair at the kitchen table and searched through his black leather jacket's pockets that was hanging on the back of his chair as he smiled." I've got something for you..."
" You didn't have to buy me anything, you know I'm not a fan of... Birthdays..." Mumbled Eva, she sat down at the kitchen table and leant on her hand as she lightly tapped her finger tips on the table top." Not since my Dad..."
" I know sugar, but I've not brought you anything as you asked..." Sighed A, he took a small black box from his leather jacket's pocket and placed it down in front of Eva." But this is something I'm sure you'll like very much, it's really special."
Eva looked down at the little black box in front of her, she looked up from the box at her Uncle and gave him a small smile." Special?"
" Trust me, you'll like what's inside that box..." Smiled A, he sat back down on his chair and sighed deeply as he wrapped his hands around his blue mug." Open it short stuff..."
Eva looked back down at the box, she picked it up from the table top and opened it. She smiled when she saw a blue butterfly on a silver chain inside the box, she carefully took it from the box and held the necklace between her fingers.
" Oh Uncle A!" Smiled Eva, she placed the little box back down on the table and chewed at her bottom lip." It's beautiful..."
" So, do you remember the necklace?" Asked A.
" Of course I do, it belonged to my Mum. I... I forgot about it..." Said Eva quietly, she held the blue butterfly between her thumb and finger as she smiled." This is wonderful, thank you so much..."
" You're welcome sweetheart." Smiled A, he took a sip of his tea and ran his fingers through his blonde hair." I thought it was about time you had your Mum's necklace, she would have wanted you to have it and maybe someday her engagement/wedding ring..."
" What do you mean by engagement/wedding ring?" Asked Eva.
" Well, your Mum and Dad were engaged once before you were born. They did get married a few months before your Mum died, it was your Dad's idea..." Answered A, he placed his mug back down on the table top and got up from his chair." You were at the wedding, but I doubt you'll remember it..."
" I didn't know they got married..." Sighed Eva, she turned the blue butterfly over and read the letters engraved on the back of it." BB and SJ. Uncle Aiden, did they have any photographs taken at their wedding?"
" There was one or maybe two photographs, but your Dad had one of them and I'm not really sure what happened to it though." Answered A, he walked into the kitchen and opened a cupboard above the sink." I've got something else for you..."
Eva looked over her shoulder at her Uncle, she watched him take a white envelope from the cupboard and bit at her bottom lip. She watched him walk back over towards the table and sit back down on his chair.
" What about the other photograph?" Asked Eva.
" It's in your Mum's photo album, it's just a photograph of you dressed in a blue frilly dress with your doll." Answered A, he held the white envelope towards Eva and smiled at her." You looked cute as a button, I'll tell you more about it later on and this is just a little something from me."
" Okay..." Sighed Eva, she looked at the white envelope in her Uncle's hand and placed her Mum's necklace back in the little black box." You didn't have to get me anything, I can't accept it..."
" It's the day of your birth short stuff, I should say your 13th year of life on this planet and I wanted to give you something. Just open the envelope..." Smiled A, he placed the envelope in front of Eva and crossed his arms across his chest as he chuckled." If you don't open the envelope, I will have to tell you about the birds and the bees..."
" Please don't!" Gasped Eva.
" You do know where babies come from right?" Asked A.
" You're so embarrassing..." Muttered Eva, she looked down at the envelope in front of her and bit at her bottom lip." I already know about that stuff..."
" Enlighten me then..." Chuckled A.
" Okay! I'll open the stupid envelope!" Yelled Eva, she picked the envelope up from the table and frowned at her Uncle as she spoke quietly to him." You're so embarrassing..."
" I know..." Smirked A.
Eva carefully opened the white envelope, she gasped when she saw a wad of dollars inside the envelope and looked up from it at her Uncle." Uncle Aiden, this is to much!"
" It's only a thousand dollars short stuff..." Smiled A.
" A thousand dollars! That's a lot of money to me!" Smiled Eva.
" Yeah, but technically it's only £643.29 in pounds. It's not really a lot of money..." Chuckled A.
" But what am I meant to spend this on?" Asked Eva.
" I don't know, spend it on something nice for yourself. Buy some new clothes or underwear or just dress like a girl for once." Chuckled A, he got up from his chair again and stretched his arms above his head." I'll take you to the Mall in a while, you can go shopping and I'll wait for you in the car..."
" I could do with some new clothes I guess..." Smiled Eva, she placed the envelope back down on the table and sighed." Are you saying I dress like a boy?"
" I didn't use the word boy, I just said dress like a girl for once..." Smirked A.
" Can I buy some make up?" Asked Eva.
" Why? Are you trying to impress a boy or something?" Asked A.
" No!" Frowned Eva, she got up from her chair and bit at her bottom lip as she blushed a bit." I... I just wanted to buy some make up and nail varnish to try out a new look. I don't even know what boys like anyway..."
" Oh really, then why are you blushing?" Asked A.
" I'm not blushing..." Said Eva quietly.
" You're blushing..." Chuckled A, he rested his hands on the edge of the table and leant forward towards Eva." I've seen that look you're doing once before, your Dad did that same look when he was crushing on your Mum. Come on, tell me who it is..."
" I'm not crushing on anyone..." Blushed Eva.
" Okay, I believe you..." Smirked A.
" I'm going for a shower..." Sighed Eva, she leant forward and quickly kissed her Uncle's cheek." Thank you for the money."
" You're welcome, I'll get breakfast started then." Smiled A, he picked his mug up from the table and made his way into the kitchen." What do you fancy?"
" Can I have some toast please with some strawberry jam on it?" Asked Eva, she tucked some of her hair behind her ear and walked over towards the kitchen counter." And some tea..."
" Sure, anything for the Birthday girl..." Smiled A, he placed his mug down on the kitchen counter and sighed." Don't use all the hot water though, I need a shower too."
" Okay, I won't be long!" Shouted Eva as she walked to the bathroom.
21st of January 2016 - 10:45am
Eva walked down the stone steps of her Uncle's apartment, she looked down at the ground and let her fringe fall over her red eyes. She stopped next to her Uncle's car, she looked at her reflection in the car's window and bit at her bottom lip as she ran her finger tip under her eye.
" What's up?" Asked A.
Eva looked up at her Uncle standing next to her, she sighed as she curled a piece of her dark hair around her finger and smiled weakly at him." I'm nervous about going out today..."
" Why?" Asked A, he opened the passager side's door of his car and held Eva's shoulder bag out towards her." What are you nervous about?"
" Because of my eyes..." Mumbled Eva, she got into her Uncle's car and took her shoulder bag from his hand." People will stare at me..."
" No they won't, your eyes look fine to me..." Smiled A.
" But its human nature to stare at people who look different..." Sighed Eva.
" Well that's true, but no one will look at you and if they do just stare back at them." Smiled A, he rested his hand on the car's roof and chuckled." Have you see what some people look like in the Mall? It's like oompa loompas on tour sometimes in there when the bimbo Barbies decide to go on their shopping sprees."
Eva giggled as she played with the zip on her shoulder bag and smiled.
" See, you've got nothing to be nervous about..." Smiled A.
" I guess you're right..." Sighed Eva.
" You know I'm right, your Uncle A is never wrong..." Smirked A.
Eva watched her Uncle close the passager side's door, he walked around to the driver's side and opened the car door. She put the seat-belt on, she clipped it into the seat-belt buckle and grabbed a pair of sunglasses from the dashboard.
" Can I borrow these please?" Asked Eva.
" Sure..." Smiled A, he put his seat-belt on and started up his car's engine." Did you put the money in your bag?"
" Yeah!" Answered Eva, she put her Uncle's sunglasses on and sat back in the seat." I put it in my purse after I had breakfast..."
" Good, let's take you shopping then!" Smiled A.
Eva looked out of the car's window as her Uncle parked up his car in a parking space on the Mall's car park, she looked over at him and smiled weakly. She undid seat-belt and opened the passager sides car door.
" Okay, do you have your phone on you?" Asked A.
" Yeah, it's in my bag..." Answered Eva, she got out of her Uncle's car and hung her shoulder bag over her shoulder." If I need you, I'll ring you."
" Okay, be careful..." Smiled A, he undid his seat-belt and took a bag of toffee from his leather jacket pocket." Remember, don't talk to strangers or oompa loompas."
" I know, I'll see you in a while..." Smiled Eva, she closed the car's door and walked off towards the Mall.
