In the morning, Evana watched Yana changed out of her nightdress after waking up and she couldn't help but notice that her ginger friend had gotten thinner. It seemed she had not been eating too well lately that she even lost some weight and that was possibly the reason why she fainted.
"I'm going to make breakfast, do you want anything in specific?" the blonde asked standing up from the bed
"No, thanks. I'm not hungry."
"I'm worried about you. You're not eating properly…"
"I'm not hungry, but I do eat things."
"I know you're still sad about 'his' death, but you need to react."
"Eva, don't worry about me. I'm going to be fine. I won't starve to death. I just don't want to eat now."
Evana let out a sigh and headed to the kitchen.

Yana remained in the bedroom and sat on the chair of the dressing table. She turned on the small radio and then she took her cellphone and opened the image gallery. A faint smile formed on her lips while she navigated through the pictures. It seemed the song on the radio followed her mood and the lyrics matched the memories made on those pictures.
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river, and it made me complete
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know? (Keane – Somewhere Only We Know)
"I hope I really gave you a good time on your final days… and to be honest it hurts to know I was the last woman you had before the tragedy." she whispered, "Those were the best two weeks I've ever had in my entire life. None of that was planned or staged. We had so much in common and we both had people that got us waiting. Maybe I crossed the line when I asked you about her, but I needed to understand why, you, that always showed to be so decided wasn't with the one you had feelings. I saw you on the same boat as me. I was put to wait too. So I gave my all and did things that now are the sweetest memories.
I always knew that was just a temporary thing and I prepared myself for the parted ways, but I forgot to prepare myself for the memories we made… Somehow, you will always be alive… in those pictures and in my deepest memories. I always knew we would just be a season. I just didn't know I was going to be the last one…" She talked to herself and smiled faintly
She took a deep breath and stood up from the chair. There was enough nostalgia; it was time to start the day. She turned the radio off and joined Evana in the living room.
The blonde was sitting on the couch looking distant.
"Are you okay?" the ginger asked sitting by her side
"Yeah, I'm just thinking."
"About what?"
"It's time to change, a big change."
Yana made a face waiting for the explanation
"I want to leave this town, there's nothing else left for me here."
"Oh and where are you planning to go?"
Evana shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe the town Chris and I were planning to go."
"And when will you do that?"
"As fast as I can. I don't have peace here anymore and knowing Stan can show up any time just makes me feel really bad and this is not good for my baby."
"I understand the Stan part, but don't you think that a nearby town won't make too much difference if Stan continues to search for you?"
"You have a point… But I can't use all the money I have just in the moving, I need to save some money for my living during the pregnancy and to the post-labor too. The nearby town wouldn't take that much from me…"
"You can sell or rent your house to make some money too." The ginger suggested
"I know, I just doubt if anyone will want to live here and this will take longer than I can wait." Evana sighed
"There's still my part… we can use it."
"You don't have to come with me, you have your life here."
Yana shook her head, "I'm not very fond of the idea of moving to another city, but I also don't have anything left here and without you I will have nothing here. However, if you are really decided to do this, I'll go with you. I won't let you go alone, you will need help with the baby and you won't have conditions to work any time soon and I can do that."
"Yeah… you have another point."
"Not to mention Stan can come after me too, so I don't really want that!"
"Me neither! So if you are coming with me, what's your idea of an ideal place?"
"Somewhere far enough. Where Stan won't find us… such as another country!"
"Another country? That means more expenses!"
"Yeah, but I don't have a lot of personal belongings. We won't take the furniture with us, will you?"
"No, but I'm worried about the extra expenses and the place we don't even know…"
"Eva, I'm sure my brother can help us on that, he lives there and London is not a bad place."
"Oh yeah… you have a brother. I always forget that."
"Yeah, so that's my suggestion. London!"
Evana frowned thinking about the idea
"But you still can go to the United States, you know… Just need to make a call…" the ginger teased
Evana rolled her eyes
Yana's cellphone started ringing. She looked at the screen and frowned after seeing the strange number.
"Who is it?" Evana asked in curiosity
"I don't know." Yana shrugged
"Won't you answer it?"
"I'd better not. What if is Stan? This number is super weird, look." She replied showing the object to the blonde
"Yeah… It's better not to answer it."
The women continued talking and ignored the phone insistence.

United States
Chris was still at work and sighed in frustration after calling Yana several times, which got him in a bad mood. He wasn't having a good day. Laureen had already pissed him enough and spoiled his meeting with the attorney in the afternoon.
He tried to focus on his work, but he was too distracted. His heart was broken. He really hoped Yana would answer his calls and he could finally talk to his beloved Evana, however, his plans were totally ruined. Fate was definitely playing its cards to keep them separated.
He was working on a report when his cellphone rang and for a second, he thought it was Yana calling him back, but for his disappointment, it was an American number.
The man widened his eyes after hearing the person on the other line.
"I'm on my way. Thanks." He spoke in astonishment and hurried to the hospital where Laureen was taken after being hit by a car.
Her state was serious, she broke one leg and some ribs, but the serious injury was the one on her head.
Bohma
A few days passed. It was night when Evana and Yana were packing the last things before they moved the next day.
Yana had finally left her grieving and didn't have any episode of sickness. She was even gaining some weight again.
"I'm going to check the gym if we haven't forgotten anything important there." The ginger said
"Okay. I'm going to rest a little bit." Evana said sitting on the bed corner.
"Yeah, you do that. I'll won't take too long."
The woman left the house and let the door unlocked.
Evana was caressing her belly and smiled. That house had so many memories. That house was her shelter and refuge for so many years. That house was all that was left for her from her parents. She thought about her mother. She was finally sticking to her promise and wished she had her heroine with her, enjoying and helping her with her pregnancy. She hoped she could be a good mother like her own.
Evana was lost in her thoughts, preparing herself for the departure when she noticed someone at the bedroom door. She looked at the direction and widened her eyes when she saw Stan staring at her.
Yana was restless and felt she could lose her senses at any minute. She walked to the window to get a fresh air and saw some men in specific positions outside the house. Her heart accelerated in scare and immediately called the police.
"Long time no see, Scarlet." The man spoke playing with his gun
Evana didn't reply, she was in shock.
"Where is that fucking bastard? Ah, he left you! I told you no one would stay with you… but me!" he spoke with a mock and a mischievous gaze
"What do you want?"
"What a man always want… Your services."
"I don't do that anymore! There are many others out there, including your precious Emma."
"Nah, she's boring! You are the star. Plus, we do have unfinished business, remember?"
"Of course we do…" he said stepping closer to her
Evana swallowed in tension
The man looked around, "Are you planning to leave without saying goodbye to me?"
She remained in silence and kept her arms crossed over her belly
"You are so quiet today…" he said sitting by her side and caressed the gun on her face, "You used to be so powerful!"
"You never had a gun on my face!"
"Ah, this is just my new toy."
"I can't be who you want me to be with that pointed at me."
"Is that so?"
"Yes!"
"Once a hooker, always a hooker!" he said licking her face
Evana used all of her emotional control at that disgusting act.
"I so miss your skin… your body…" he whispered on her ear
"Put that gun away and you can have it again."
"Bossing me, huh?!" he spoke with a mock
"What toy do you prefer to play with, that one or this one?" she spoke grabbing his cock
Stan smirked, "You didn't do that the last time, are you missing a cock?"
"You want to finish the business or not?" she asked caressing it
"I don't want just to finish, I want to continue what we have." He replied starting to kiss her neck
Evana fought her tears, she couldn't leave her character, "Put the gun away and you can have all of me."
"Will you be that good girl?"
She nodded
Stan put the gun over the bed, "Dance for me." he told her
Evana stood up, she was wearing legging pants and a top. Her belly was more visible when she was up and that caught Stan's attention, "Are you really pregnant of that moron?" he questioned her with a pissed tone
"Does it matter?"
"Of course it does!" he shouted angrily standing up, "Bitches cannot have families!" he spoke grabbing Evana by the neck
Evana remembered Chris' lessons on self-defense and used it on Stan and kicked him on the balls.
The pain made him release her and she ran to the door. Stan rushed to the bed and took the gun to fire Evana, but he missed the target. Evana screamed in scare while she ran to the living room and saw the door locked and in a quick reflex, she ran to the window, unlocked it quickly and jumped it.
She fell on the ground and looked around and saw the police about to invade her house.
Some cops came to her aid while others broke the door. Yana ran to hug her as both cried in tension. Evana started to feel dizzy and then she lost her senses and was immediately taken to the hospital.
Thank you Xaori, HerpDerp and silver scropion for the reviews. :D
I must confess I had some difficulties writing this chapter. I'm not that good (not good at all actually xD) with action, so I'm sorry if it's not that impactful or that good. :(
Another cycle is coming to an end... Stay tuned!
