Author's Note: Sorry guys for taking so long to update, things were super busy and still, only tried to put something, hopefully you'll like it ;)

dandy44, Aya Salim, Lucy Colt, Jannine90, Emily Rush: Thank you guys so much for the reviews, and I hope you will like the new chapter as well.

*I meant to post banners for this chap but since the links aren't working, they will only be on Eve's Facebook page. Until the site is fixed.

Okay, before we start, this chapter is going to be different, its more like It's a Terrible Life Vs. What is and What Should Never Be. This is only part one of the AU I made for Eve, kind of 'what if?' deal, normal Eve, normal life. Hang in there with me, and everything will be clear… Enjoy! ;)


Simon shrugged then he leaned nudging Libby with his shoulder. "Don't worry sweetheart, Eve will be fine," he said and wrapped his arm around Libby's shoulder. "Plus, if that guy tried to hurt her, he will face all of us, count on it!" he said and winked to her. Libby smiled.

"I know," she said and kissed his cheek. "Like that douche Ethan, we kicked his ass!"

"Yep!" Simone nodded spotting Mark coming, "You know what Lib, I'd be a better boyfriend than this Mark dude, just pick me!" He teased raising his voice to make Mark hear him. Libby giggled.

"Well, show me how much you can beg!" She teased. Mark laughed and joined them.

"Hands off Simon, she is my girlfriend, go get another girl!" Mark said sitting on the couch wrapping his arms around Libby's waist.

"Boys, boys, play nice!" She giggled and gave them a wicked smirk. "Plus, there's enough of me for both of you!" she said making both guys to give her a confused look.

"Its getting weird here, I think I should go find me a single girl, who is not twisted!" Simon said getting up from the couch.

"Your loss buddy!" Libby teased.

"His loss," Mark said touching her chin turning her to look at him. "My gain!" he said leaning down to press a kiss to her lips.

Chapter 41, Adam Rising P2


From Eve's blog,

"Its been a while since I wrote anything but, it feels right to write again. I mean I got better, my life has changed a lot in the past few weeks, it was scary and dark at first but now I feel so much better. With the help of my family and my great friends – extended family – I'm so much better now, thank God. And I will keep getting better as long as they are with me, supporting me, and since this douche bag of a boyfriend is out of my life, no more drama, no more time wasting, it is time to be better, to forget all about my mistakes and make new ones, well not literally but we all make mistakes, the difference is how long they last, and mine lasted for three years, but now, no more, new life, no annoying men who freak me out, go back to work, and maybe get a different job, I just feel so good today, like its my day. Don't you just love such days? ... Being single again rocks."

...

Eve closed her laptop with a big smile on her face; she put the computer on the other side of bed and got up, hearing the shower being turned on. She smiled and went to get her clothes ready for the day she wanted to look different and better. She picked a pair of tight skinny black jeans, a black front and sides cut out pumps, casual loose black top and a leather black jacket. Even though Eve knew such a rocker outfit wouldn't fit work, she didn't give a damn, it was their family's company and she basically owns it, she could wear whatever she wanted, and today she was going to get her old Harley back too, she missed her baby.

"Good enough." Eve smiled at her clothes; she took a deep breath and went to the bathroom, knowing who was there. "Simon, I'm coming in." she said and without waiting for him to answer, she entered the bathroom.

"Good morning Doll," Simon said without looking, he was busy taking his morning shower.

"Morning," Eve said softly, her eyes roaming his body. "Dude, damn." She exclaimed. "Can't believe I got a piece of that last night." She said and he laughed turning to look at her.

"Really? You here for the peep show?" He teased, washing off the shampoo off his face.

"Hey, I got all the dessert I needed last night; this is like um, a final check, we both knows it was a one time thing." Eve shrugged her eyes still on his wet naked body.

"Yeah, glad to be the rebound guy," He pouted, teasing her.

"Aww, Simon, never." Eve giggled. "You are way better than that; you're just like dessert after a crappy meal, making my day, and night."

"Yeah, yeah," He teased.

"Sim, come on," she huffed. "We are friends, this one night thing is just a one night thing, something I needed after those terrible few months I had,"

"I know babe, and I was joking, you didn't take me seriously being naked under your shower, right?" He joked. Eve smirked biting on her bottom lip.

"You've no idea how serious you look right now!" She laughed winking at him.

"Funny, this is awkward you know." He said, "Usually I'm the one who flirts."

Eve laughed and shook her head. "Nah, time to switch."

He raised an eyebrow letting out a laugh. "Some privacy please, I want to shower here."

"Hey, I'm offended." Eve pouted. "You didn't mind me last night, so."

"Smartass," Simon rolled his eyes. "Out, now, I need to go before your mom sees me, or worse, Libby, that if you want to keep this between us?"

"Yeah, shit I didn't think of that," Eve said freaking out a little bit. "We are adults, I'm single, you too, we had some fun, its okay, but, they just gonna make a big deal out of it."

"Yeah, the whole awww you two are cute, or I knew it, you know the lame usual stuff." Simon said and Eve nodded in agreement. "We can't tell them, keep your mouth shut, you tell Libby everything."

"She's my best friend and my sister in law, so." Eve shrugged as Simon rolled his eyes on her again.

"Zip it woman!"

"Fine, fine, we shared bed one night and you got all bossy, I should have stayed with Ethan, he did the same but two months later." Eve mocked.

"No Ethan, remember, we said you shouldn't even mention his name, you two are done." Simon said serious.

"I was kidding Simon, I would never go back to that idiot, I wasted three years of my life and I'm not doing the same mistake twice, we are done now." Eve said.

"Good, now get out of the bathroom." He said, joking to ease the moment. Eve rolled her eyes and turned around to walk out. "Oh Eve," He called and she looked back at him. "Did I tell you that you are rocking the short hair?"

"Oh yeah, way too many times last night, and you kept touching it dude, creepy." She teased and Simon laughed.

"Well, you look hot." He smirked.

"I know thanks." She laughed. "Okay I let you shower now, and go finish my blog."

"Back to writing, great." He said smiling widely. "I hope you mentioned me."

"Oh yeah, I talked about the black hot guy who rocked my world last night, totally, even said we are friends and your name starts with S," She said sarcastically. "Dude, everyone reads this blog."

"When you say everyone, you mean me and Libby right?" He teased.

"Yeah, and Libby talks to everybody, so." Eve laughed. "Have fun dude, I'll be outside." She said and walked out.

Simon was done with his shower a little after, when Eve jumped into the shower and then started to get ready for work, she was finishing her make up when she saw Simon's phone was still there, she sighed and went to put it in her bag in order to give it back to him at work. Suddenly the door to Eve's room burst open making her snap.

"Good morning!" Libby said cheerfully walking into the room.

"What happened to knocking?" Eve sighed turning back to the mirror applying her make up. Libby laughed and walked to stand in front of the mirror next to Eve.

"What does knocking means? Never heard of it." She laughed making Eve poke her. "Dude, holding your eyeliner and poking me, I can see an accident happening,"

"You won't hurt me,"

"Yeah, but you are too clumsy to hurt yourself." Libby laughed.

"True," Eve agreed laughing as well. "So, what's the sudden visit is for?"

"Sudden? I live here, remember?" Libby joked. "Nothing just checking on you before work, maybe you need a ride."

"Nope, thanks sweets, I got that covered." Eve smirked. "My old motor, she is back in business. Don't you see my outfit, had to be ready to take the babe with me to work, its like our first date all over again."

"Woah, get a room." Libby teased and Eve laughed.

"You wouldn't understand,"

"Right? Dude, really, you didn't get any motor action in a while, sure you can handle it?"

"Yeah, hell, its my Harley dude, if I can handle you, I can handle her." Eve said sticking her tongue out at her friend.

"Bitch," Libby said slapping Eve's arm.

"Hey, make up alert no slapping." She protested checking herself in the mirror. "So, Mark is coming home tonight, right?"

"Yeah!" Libby squealed. "He called me a while ago and said he's in the air port, he should be here tonight."

"Awesome," Eve smiled. "I still don't get why he didn't take you with him,"

"I don't get it either, I mean he said its dangerous but he's there, and I was dying Eve, he says its dangerous and then goes? What the hell? How I meant to live without my husband? I mean if it's dangerous I would rather die with him than living without him." Libby sighed.

"I'm sorry dude, my brother is just an idiot, and he can be stubborn sometimes." Eve said and Libby nodded.

"Yeah, it's a family thing you know," She joked.

"Yeah, but don't forget you are a Blake now, so no dissing."

"Fine, fine, I will try to be nicer." Libby laughed, "Dude," she said reaching for Eve's hair. "You hair looks great, can't believe it, you look so different, but awesome."

"Random much dude!" Eve exclaimed slapping her friend's hand off her hair. "And no touching, what's with you people?"

"What I touched your hair, not something else." Libby frowned.

"Uh, try and die blondie." Eve laughed. Libby was about to say something but they heard a phone ringing.

'I'm sexy and I know it, I'm sexy and I know it…'

"Eve, really?" Libby laughed at the ring tone as she went to bring Eve the phone from the bag, not noticing how pale Eve looked standing in a silent protest. "You changed your Sony? I thought you loved it."

"Um, no, that's not my phone." Eve admitted. "Its Simon's."

"Was he here?" Libby asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, um, he was here last night and forgot it here, he came to check on me," Eve said not lying completely.

"I didn't hear him."

"We live in a massive villa Lib, and my suite is big, so." Eve said simply trying to act cool.

"Huh!" Libby said and pressed the silent button. "You're lying, I know that look."

"Libby, shut up, its Simon, he was here, next time I tell him to ask you first if he can see me." Eve snapped a little.

"Woah, I was just teasing, jeez." Libby rolled her eyes. "Okay, I will go now, there is this new project I'm supposed to start working on," she sighed looking back at Eve. "Sure you gonna be alright?"

"Yes Elizabeth, I will be fine," Eve smiled. "New everything, I'm good, thanks sis."

Libby smiled patting Eve's shoulder before she walked to the door, but once she opened it, she crashed into Simon. "Woah, dude," She exclaimed as he held her shoulders in order not to fall down.

"Watch out woman!" He laughed nervously letting her go.

"You watch out!" She teased smirking. "You are back for the phone right?"

"Uh, yeah," He said and glanced behind Libby seeing Eve standing there, looking more nervous than he was.

"Yeah Sim, its here in my bag, meant to give it to you at work," Eve said, almost stuttering.

"Yeah, its okay, I just came back to get it." He said and bit his lip seeing the glare Eve gave him.

"You left this morning?" Libby asked as Simon and Eve shared a look.

"Um, yeah, he stayed the night with me." Eve said trying to act cool but it wasn't really working, they were friends for a long time and Libby knew her the most.

"Oh my God!" Libby exclaimed. "You two slept together."

"No!"

"Yes!" Eve and Simon said at once.

"Yes or no?" Libby asked them. "I will know, so don't try and hide things from me." she said as a matter of fact.

Eve sighed sitting on her bed to put on her shoe. "We did." Simon said making Eve growl in protest.

"So much for not telling anyone." She said.

"Sorry, but, it was close." He told her. "Libby, you can't tell anyone, it's a private matter."

"Are you kidding me? This is awesome." Libby giggled. "So, you two are like together now? This is awesome, my two best friends."

"No, hell no, it was a one night thing, means nothing." Eve said fast and Simon nodded. "We got kinda drunk and things took a weird turn, its okay but we can't let that ruin our friendship."

"Screw friendship, everyone thought of this but the two of you, now its happening." Libby said, more excited than them.

"Look, Lib, its nothing." Simon said. "And I'm leaving, lots of work to do. See you girls at work." He said and ran outside.

"I still think you two would make a perfect couple." Libby insisted while Eve rolled her eyes at her, standing up grabbing her jacket.

"Forget it!" She said putting on her jacket. "I'm going to work now and I swear if you told anyone, I'll kick your ass."

"I won't, but you two should consider it."

"Elizabeth, no, plus, I'm so not ready for a relationship. I'm single and happy, I don't want to be in any kind of relationship." Eve said firmly while Libby started laughing. "What the hell are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, just the fact you're going to get in a relationship so damn soon." She said still laughing. Eve snorted and walked away from her. "I'm not joking, once you say that, means you're ready."

"Twisted logic." Eve muttered. "Stop watching 'How I Met Your Mother' dude. You're quoting now."

"You'll know I'm right, and,"

"And shut up, because I'm starting to get a headache, damn."

"You will see. Tik tok!" Libby said as the two of them walked out of the room.


Later that day Eve was in her office finishing off some work, when she heard a knock on the door, and before she could ask the knocker to get in, she did. It was her mother, and her boss.

"Hello Eve." Sara said walking into the office.

"Hey mom," Eve sighed looking up from her computer. "Is everything okay?"

"Yes, can't I just visit my girl in her lovely weird office?" Sara asked sweetie as she sat across from Eve.

"Nope, you don't visit unless there is something." Eve said simply. "So, mom, what is it?"

"God, girl, you don't get to talk to your mother like that." Sara said then smirked. "But I do need something from you."

"Of course." Eve muttered. "Go ahead mom, not that its my first day back or anything."

"That's why I wanted to as you, I know you won't mind some extra work, right?"

"Says whom? I have enough work already."

"Eve, its emergency." Sara said. "I was meant to meet up with a new employee, for his interview, you know after Jim left, we need a new consultant, and this guy is exactly what we need, but I had to rush him to be here for the interview, because if he passed, we can hire him directly and he can start working from tomorrow."

"What, why, why we are so desperate, thought we had enough lawyers?" Eve asked.

"We would have enough lawyers if you went to law school instead of this literature thing." Sara said and Eve fought not to roll her eyes at her mother. "And with this new branch opened, we need new people,"

"Fine, fine mom." Eve sighed, agreeing knowing that her mother wasn't going to stop unless she agrees. "When do I have to meet with this guy?"

"Today, he was coming next Monday, but I had to rush him, he said he'll be here around six."

"Six? I should be long gone by six." Eve protested.

"Not today sweetie, you have to meet with him, I have a conference." Sara said and this time Eve did roll her eyes.

"I hate you." She said.

"I know." Sara stood up and walked to the door. "I will send you the file to check it out, show me the talent."

"Whatever mom, are we done here?" Eve huffed.

"Kind of," Sara said turning around checking Eve's clothes. "Really? Leather for work?"

"Yeah, and stop acting like a mother, not suiting you, mother." Eve said sarcastically, earning a glare from her mother.

"Welcome back honey, I knew being nice for weeks wasn't going to last." Sara laughed. Eve let out a laugh shaking her head. "And, good job, Simon is a catch."

"What? Did Libby tell you?" Eve exclaimed as her mother laughed. "God, I hate you all."

"You love us, but hey, and don't worry, I know it was just a fling and you needed this, now I can say you're done with Ethan." Sara winked at her daughter.

"Great mom, that's not awkward at all." Eve sighed blushing a little, making Sara chuckle.

"Nope, at all." She said back and walked out of the door. "Sorry for tonight, but we really need this guy."

"No worries, I don't mind some extra work." Eve smiled. "What is his name anyway?"

"Um, Sam something, don't really remember." Sara answered. "Either ways, hire him, the interview is more like a routine thing."

"Cool, noted." Eve smiled. Sara nodded with a smile before she went out of the door. It didn't take but a few minutes for the door to be opened again, and once again it made Eve snap a little not expecting anyone to burst into her office like that.

"I heard you are stuck tonight in the damn office." Libby said loud enough for the dead to rise, and for the second time that day, she startled Eve.

"One word, fucking bitch!" Eve growled throwing a paper pack at her friend.

"Woah, easy tiger, I come in peace." Libby said as the pack missed her.

"I don't want to see you now, go back to your office." Eve said grumpily. "Not only you freaked me out twice today, but told mom about Simon."

"No, I did not." Libby said. "She knew already, she saw him or something, I swear I wouldn't tell your mom, of all people."

"Whatever, she knows now." Eve huffed. "Plus she wants me to stay to interview some guy. I wanted to go out tonight."

"Oh yeah party girl," Libby laughed earning a glare from her friend. "I was being serious, because I got two tickets for a damn concert tonight, but hey, as usual my mother in law ruined it." she sighed.

"Its cool, the guy will be here early, we can go after he's done, I mean I'm done, I mean when I finish with him, you know what I mean." Eve said talking fast.

"Easy, easy, got it." Libby laughed. "Okay, when is he coming?"

"At six, shouldn't take long, mom said we are going to hire him anyway,"

"Yep, so I heard, desperate for a lawyer."

"So I was told." Eve sighed. "Okay, get your ass out of here because I have some work to do."

"Fine, man, when did you become so bossy?"

"Try my whole life!"

"No wonder Ethan left you." Libby teased.

"At least I got something out of being a bitch." Eve laughed, but before Libby could answer the door knocked. "See the polite people who knock?" Eve said then asked the knocker to get inside.

"I brought you the files Ms. Sara told you about." A young man said putting the files on Eve's desk.

"Thanks Carl." Eve said smiling at the guy, who smiled back politely before he walked out of the office. "Now, its your queue to go too, Lib."

"Okie dokie, I'm going, see you at seven?" Libby asked walking to the door.

"Okay, you are staying too?"

"Yes, more work to finish, this week is gonna be tough." She sighed. "See ya, good luck."

"To you too."

...

It was almost six when Eve was starting to feel uneasy, she was tired working all day, and being patient wasn't one of her best qualities, mostly when she was done with all of her work, including reading the new lawyer's files, and even though the interview wasn't much important, she had to check it out to find something to say, she wasn't the expert after all. But she was bored that she got up from behind her desk and paced around the room before she put on some music as she looked from the window watching the street, at first the music player went on a shuffle of random songs, until it started to play one of Eve's favorite songs. Closer by Kings of Leon.

Listening to that song, she couldn't help but starting to move with the rhythm, letting herself get loose on the music, forgetting everything that was around her, just focusing on the tone and the lyrics, singing with it, swaying on it, she didn't hear the knocks on her door, being high on the music. Once again, Eve didn't hear the knocks on the door, even if they were louder, she was into the song that her mind blocked everything else, and she didn't see when the door cracked opened and someone peeked his head searching for her in the office.

And its coming closer, and its coming closer…

You, shimmy shook my bone
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
What do you think of me
Where am I now? Baby where do I sleep
Feel so good but I'm old
2000 years of chasing taking its toll

And it's coming closer, and its coming closer…

The song was done, and Eve was still swaying on it, mumbling the lyrics, that's when she turned looking at her door, seeing a guy standing there looking at her with wide eyes. "Jesus Christ." She gasped from the surprise, noticing the guy. "Who are you? And what are you doing in my office?"

"Woah, woah, I didn't mean to scare you, I swear." He said nervously. "I'm sorry, so sorry." He apologized. "I knocked, so many times but I got no answer, they told me I would find you here, and I thought you couldn't hear me because of the music."

"Damn straight its because of the music," Eve interrupted.

"I'm sorry, I'm right in time, I flew early to catch the appointment." He said, still nervous. "You're Eve Blake, right?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, its Eve." Eve sighed shaking her head. "You must me,"

"Winchester," He stretched his hand to shake hers. "Sam Winchester."

...

And it's coming closer, and its coming closer…


I REALLY hope that you liked the chapter so far, and sorry for any confusion, like I said, all will be clear so soon. Let me know what you think, like always, please review ;))
