Eve POV

It's the following day and I got up at 6:30 and haven't gotten out of bed yet to get ready for work.

I went to the doctors yesterday to make sure the baby was alright from the cramps I had. She said everything was perfect still but she suggests I take it easy.

"Eve, it's nearly eight," Harry says as he sits beside me on our mattress.

"I'm taking a sick day," I say. I hold onto my pillow more and close my stinging eyes.

I miss Doug.

We've been through a lot together. I've only had him a year and he's already gone. Sometimes when I would wake up in the middle of the night because I can't sleep, Doug would keep me company. He'd either lay down beside me or sit on my lap with his bone. Now I'm just going to have to stay up alone with my thoughts.

I feel Harry's arms wrap around me and his front cuddle against my back. "You have to get to work," I mumble.

"I'm taking a sick day too," He says against me. His lips kiss my cheek.

"You don't have too," I say.

"I know," Harry says. "But you shouldn't be alone,"

I let out a deep breath and try to think about the happy times I had with Doug. I still want to smack that lady who said he wasn't cute enough to adopt. Fucking asshole.

"Do you want me to get you something to eat?" He asks me.

"I'm not hungry," I say.

"What about later? Would you like anything then? I can pick it up," My boyfriend offers.

"No," I mumble. "I want my pug though,"

We decided to cremate Doug so he can be with us still.

Harry kisses my cheek again and holds onto me more.

Harry POV

Eve fell asleep around nine.

Once she fell asleep, I left our bed to clean up. I know whenever Eve is mad or sad she likes to clean. I thought I should do it for her. Plus, I know she doesn't like to see messy things, it gives her a lot of anxiety I've figured out. I got a call from Daren around ten. We're on the phone now talking.

"I have to go now but uh," He pauses. "Make sure Eve isn't alone please. She can get very sad,"

"She's sleeping now," I mention. "Eve looks like she just wants to be alone and grieve though," I say.

"But that's not good for her. She's not going to be just grieving about Doug. She's going to be crying or be sad about the other people that were close to her and died. Like our Mom, brother, and grandmother,"

"She's never mentioned being close to her grandmother," I say in a mumble.

"Eve will tell you about her," Daren says. "I just don't want her to fall into depression again,"

My eyebrows furrow at his words. "Again?" I ask.

"Yeah, after Charlie died she got super depressed. She didn't go to school for nearly a month, hardly ate, and didn't speak to anyone. That hit her hard; she didn't tell you?"

"No," I murmur.

"After that she blocked out a lot of things from her memory or tried to that is. My Dad put her in therapy to help Eve get over her depression. Anyways, I just don't want her to go through that again. I'll stop by tomorrow to check on her, I'm in Maryland now for a work convention and I'm leaving in a few hours,"

"Okay, I'll tell her you're going to stop by," I say. "Do you remember anything that would make her happy?" I ask.

"Uh, no. It wasn't something that made her happy really. It was just being with her I suppose. Try talking about kids, that always makes her smile,"

"I'll try that out, thanks," I mumble.

Our conversation soon ends and I put my phone beside me. I take Doug's toy that I was about to step on and place it on the couch. 

My hand tugs through my hair and I let out a deep breath. I'll miss Doug, if I'm being honest. I just don't cry a lot, or ever. That's not how I express my sadness; I don't know if I even express my sadness if I think about it. 

I walk back to our room and see Eve awake now. She's still in the same position as she was this morning and last night. "Hello," I greet my girlfriend while laying beside her.

"Hi," Eve murmurs.

"How are you feeling?" I ask.

"Tired and sad," She says causing me to frown. I cuddle myself into her and kiss her cheek.

"Can I get you anything to eat?" I ask again.

"I'm not hungry," Eve says. 

"You haven't eaten anything all day," I mention. "It's nearly eleven now,"

"I don't want to eat when I'm not hungry,"

"Your body might be hungry," I come up with.

"I'll eat in a few minutes," She looks like she has no intention of getting out of bed.

"Okay," I say. I'll bring her a yogurt later. "So," I start. "I was thinking about apartments we should get. But I uh, saw a house for sale across the street from Liam. It's a beautiful house, we can take a look at it. I did some research on it. It's five bedroom, three bath, backyard that's fenced, and no damage," 

Eve turns around and looks at me. I see the sadness written on her face which makes my heart pinch. "You want to get a house with me?" She asks. Her beautiful hazel eyes look into mine.

"Yeah," I say. "We can look at it whenever you feel a little better, okay?" She nods and presses her head against my chest. I hold her against me and kiss her cheek.

"Do you think Doug is alone?" Eve asks me.

"Maybe he's with his parents or something," I come up with. 

"I miss him," She tells me. 

"I know," My fingers run through her brown hair. 

"I don't like the fact that he died alone," Eve admits to me.

"He wasn't alone though. He had a home," 

"But he was on the floor," She says in a low voice. 

"At least he didn't suffer," I say. 

"Yeah," She mumbles against me.

"Eve?" 

"Yes?" 

"Can you eat something now?" I ask timidly.

"Okay," She caves in. 

"I'll go grab you something," Eve nods against me and detaches her body from mine.

I head downstairs and go into the kitchen. My mind thinks to what Eve could possibly be thinking of right now, or in general. I hope she isn't thinking about the other people that died in her life, that would make me feel worse about this situation because I don't know what to do to help.
