"Guys," I said softly to Gina and Jamie. They were snuggled up in my arms, exhausted from our session.
"Hmm?" Gina murmured sleepily.
"I don't want to go to school tomorrow," I said.
"That's fine," Jamie kissed my cheek, "We can stay here."
"Thank you I squeezed them tightly," I smiled, "So how was the date?"
"It was amazing," Gina sat up, "Jamie put a lot of effort into it and we took some time to get to know each other properly."
"Yay!" I said excitedly, "So are we a thruple now?"
"Slow down, Alex," Jamie smiled, "We're dating. Let's take things slow. This is so new to all of us."
I nodded. I was eager, but we needed to spend time together first. Tonight was amazing, but that was only one night and I wasn't there for the majority of the time.
"What happened with your mom?" Gina raised an eyebrow. I told them about her strange interview, then persons coming over to a greet and meet. I tried to mention every single detail hoping they might be able to pick up on something that I missed.
"What the fuck?" Jamie's eyes widened, "What's the name of the company?"
"Breyer's Publishings," I said.
"My father is an investor in that company," Jamie mused, "Maybe he helped get her in?"
"Why would he do that?" I looked at her, "Why would he help her after what your mom did?"
"I'm not sure if he knows," Jamie said softly, "He doesn't know much about what happens in our lives." I squeezed her hand to give her some comfort.
"Gina?" I turned to her. Gina was fast asleep! She must have been extremely tired. "We can talk about it tomorrow." I kissed Jamie and placed a light kiss on Gina's cheek.

I was about to get to bed, when there was a knock on the door.
"Police," a man held up a badge as I opened the door.
"Come in" I motioned towards the young man.
"I will remain out here," he said dutifully, "I come bearing sad news. I regret to inform you that your wife is dead. It has been ruled as a possible suicide."
What the fuck? Suicide?
"There must be a mistake," I looked at him, "Danielle would never commit suicide."
"I'm afraid that's what the evidence points towards sir," he said remorseful, "I am sorry for your loss." He tipped his hat, then left. I closed the door behind me and searched for my phone. There was several calls to that number that I didn't make. I dialed it.
"What have you done?"
I woke up to two girls sleeping. I don't even remember falling asleep night. I headed to the bathroom and my belly grumbled. Where can I get breakfast? I'm sure there must be a breakfast place somewhere inside of here.
"Guys," I shook their legs, "Wake up. I'm hungry." They groaned and tossed. I rolled my eyes. I took my pillow and began to hit them with it until they woke up.
"We're up!" Alex cried and I laughed.
"I need food!" I exclaimed.
"Ugh," Jamie groaned, "Go without me."
"Come on," I tugged at her legs, "Its beautiful here. Let's not waste the day." She looked at me grumpily, but got out of the bed. She showed me middle finger before heading to the bathroom.
"Has anyone seen my phone?" Jamie came out of the bathroom. We searched and I found it under the bed.
"Here you go," I handed it to her. As if on cue, it rang.
"Dad?" She answered.

"I have some bad news," he said sadly, "I'm afraid your mother has passed away. The police said it was suicide."
"No, that can't be true," tears streamed down my face, "She would never do something like that." Gina and Alex were at my side instantly.
"I know honey," he said sadly, "you know I loved -"
"Don't even fucking say it," I said angrily, "Because you didn't. You never loved her and I am going to find out what happened to her, because she would never do this to herself." I hung up the phone and sank to ground. Tears cascaded down my face even though I tried to stop them. Gina and Alex tried their best to comfort me despite not knowing what happened.
"Let's go get some food," I wiped my tears.
I rushed over to the Brooks' house as soon as I got the news. I knocked on the door, and I thought no one was there until Tom finally opened the door.
"Oh Tom," I hugged him, "I'm so sorry."
"It's alright," he sighed, "Come in." I haven't been to this house in ages but it looks the same as I remember.
"What happened?" I asked Tom, sitting on the chair.
"They said it was suicide," he said, "Bullet to the head." I took his hand and gave it a squeeze.
"I know how much you loved her," I looked at him.
"Aurora," he eyed me wearily, "You know that's not true."
"You shouldn't say things like that Tom," I scolded him.
"It's true," he said quietly, "Now I have to organize a funeral."
"Jamie can help you," I comforted him.
"I think she's upset with me," he murmured, "She's not convinced it's a suicide."
"Neither am I," I agreed. Danielle would never do something like that. Why would she? After she went through so much just to get a promotion?
"I don't want to drag this in too long for Jamie's sake," he sighed. I nodded.
"You'll get through this Tom," I squeezed his hand. He looked at me, lust in his eyes. His eyes fleeted between my lips, then my eyes. Tom and I had some history before he met Danielle, but I wasn't about to reignite that passion.
"Tom," I let his hand go, "This isn't right."
"Why isn't it?" He placed his hand on my leg.
"You just found out your wife died," I removed his hand. I should leave, "I should go."
"Please don't," he pulled me into his lap.
Jamie's POV
I told Gina and Alex what happened to my mom and they comforted me.
"I should head home to my dad," I said.
"Would you like us to come with you?" Gina suggested.
"That would be great," I formed a weak smile.
Aurora's POV
"Tom," I tried to get off him, "Let go of me."
"You know what you wanted when you came in here, Aurora," he gripped me tighter.
"No!" I shouted, "I wanted to comfort you! Hoping you had an ounce of love for your wife!"
"I don't," he said coldly, "I want you."
"I don't want you," I fought against him.
"Why wouldn't you want me?" He pit his hot breath on my neck. He was fucking disgusting.
"Let me go!" I broke free and slapped him.
"You fucking bitch!" He said angrily, "I'm going to fucking deal with you." I tried to run away from him but he grabbed me and pinned me down to the couch. He tried to kiss my body and I started screaming.
"Stop."
