Sitting down at her desk Liliana pulled out a scrapbook and she smiled. She slowly began to flip through it just looking at her past. She found a few of her favorite photos of her and her father and she smiled. He truly was an amazing man. She hadn't heard from him in a few days so she made a mental note to call him later. Flipping through the photographs she found a few from her first job. It wasn't anything glamorous but it was fun. She worked at a gaming store. Some of the photos were of her and the friends she made and some were just her whenever her dad came in to 'spy' on her to make sure she still had the job.

Thinking back on the job she had to smile. It was definitely fun. While she went in knowing some about a few games it was definitely a learning experience. She had a lot of fun though. Learning had never been fun until she'd started working there. They showed her how to have fun learning and slowly she began applying the techniques she was learning at school and it helped improve her grades. Her three years working there were some of the best and worst experiences of her life. She met some really amazing people that she's still friends with today there. Continuing to look through those work photos she couldn't help but smile because they made her happy.

Thinking back to that she thought about the day she turned in her two weeks notice. They gave her someone to train and she had the girl trained in time that they let her leave early. She hated leaving that job but at the same time she knew it was time. She had some money saved up and she was more than willing to work somewhere else to make her way. That was one of the best experiences in  her life and she knew it. Thinking back on those experiences she knew she should really go back there and see how the place was. A small smile graced her lips at the thought. She missed that place, not enough to go back to work there but enough to see how it was holding up.

Groaning softly Liliana Hartley turned over in bed and she picked up her phone. 2:43am. With a sigh she pushed the covers back and she sat up stretching slightly. She made her way to the nursery and she quickly picked up her baby girl. She changed her diaper then took her downstairs to get a bottle. It didn’t take long for the bottle to be ready and she headed back up to the nursery to feed and put her back to bed. As she sat in the very comfortable rocker feeding Ella she smiled down at her. She bit down on her lower lip as she watched her fall back asleep. She rocked her for a few more minutes. When she was sure she was asleep she slowly set the bottle down and got up. Kissing her head she put her in the crib and she tucked her in. 

When she was done she took the bottle back to the kitchen since she barely made it halfway. She washed her hands and she made it back upstairs. She checked to make sure she was still sleeping before heading back into her own room. She crawled back into bed and fell into a good slumber. She wasn’t sure how long she’d been asleep when she heard the cries on the monitor again. Rubbing her eyes she sat up and looked at the monitor. Her baby girl was definitely distressed. Getting up she made her way back to the nursery and she picked her up. She checked her diaper and she was a little relieved to find out that she had a clean diaper. She sat in the rocker with her for a few minutes. She rocked her and it seemed to work for a bit so she put her back in her crib.

Just as she was walking out of the nursery she heard her crying again. “Oh my god.” she whispered. She was definitely not getting any sleep and she had a few interviews and meetings for the boutique in a few hours. Picking her up she sighed.  "Stop waking me up in the middle of the night." she begged. She knew it was pointless but at this point in time she was desperate. She kissed her head. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.” she added almost as quickly as she’d said it. She held her close to her and she sang to her hoping that would help her truly get to sleep. Once she was positive she was sleeping she put her in the crib while still singing and it seemed to work. Finally she could go to sleep. That’s just what she did too.

Worst date ever.

When it comes to dates Liliana Hartley doesn’t have much to compare really. She’s only been in one serious relationship and that one lasted for nearly five years so that said something right? Anyways back to this ‘worst’ date. Liliana was seventeen and it was during a break on her senior year of high school. She’d gotten asked out by a guy she’d known for a few years and she actually agreed to the date which was unusual. Most of the time when asked out she turned them down. She was kind of excited to see where the night would lead. 

The night came around and she’d found what she figured would be the perfect outfit. Her hair was pulled back and she thought everything was going her way. Just as she was ready she heard her father call her down. He’d arrived. By the time she’d made it downstairs he was talking to her father about something. Whatever it was had to be good because they both laughed. “Hi guys.” She stood at the bottom of the stairs as both of them turned to look at her. It was in that moment that she saw her father appear scared for the first time ever. 

After they left things seemed to get a little weird. This date that he’d said he’d planned turned out to be a sham. The whole car ride he ignored her which left Liliana wondering why he’d even asked her out. When they finally arrived at the park he got out and as he shut the door his phone lit up. “Did you dump miss goody two-shoes?” Reading that she growled. She couldn’t believe the one date she’d accepted ended up being a set up. Getting out of the car she gave him a look. “What are we doing here?” she asked. He shrugged. “I uh. I thought you’d like it here.” she gave him a look.

She could tell he was looking for an escape and luckily she saw his escape before he did. When he saw her, no them she pulled him aside so they didn’t see her but at the last second when they arrived she sighed. “Psst!” They caught his attention. “Uh look.. I’ll be right back.” He pulled away from her and ran over to them. Lilia knew that he wasn’t coming back but it didn’t matter. She found a bench and she sat down for a bit so that she didn’t arrive home too soon.  She didn’t want to upset her dad. About half an hour later she finally decided to walk home.

After leaving the park she sent him a text. “I hope you had a good night without me. Ps. I saw the text from your friend. You’re the one missing out.” After sending the text she continued on her walk home. By the time she made it home her dad was a little worried. “Where’s your date? Why didn’t he walk you to the door? Why are you home so early.” she shrugged him off. “Dad. Don’t worry about it. I’m going to bed.” She headed upstairs to her room and she changed into her pjs and just as she was climbing into her bed her phone went off. “So you know?” she read. “Duh. I thought you may change your mind and that’s why I stayed.” she sent. She wasn’t even sure it was him she was talking to. “Goodnight.” she sent before putting her phone on ‘DO NOT DISTURB’ and going to bed.

Dream Journal.

Sitting on her bed during Ella’s nap time Liliana sighed to herself. Liliana had kept a journal of her dreams for a long time. In fact the journal beside her bed wasn’t even the first journal. It was probably the fourth she’d kept so far. Staring over at it she quickly picked it up and began to flip through it. She wanted to see what she’d been dreaming about. She found a dream from right after she’d given birth to Ella and she read it.

January 3rd, 2018

Walking through the house I couldn’t help but get this feeling that something wasn’t right. Something was definitely wrong with Ella. I had actually used the baby pump that someone had given me and I managed to pump enough for two bottles. I had just put one away and I had another ready to go for her. I went back up to the bedroom and she wasn’t in the bassinet. The panic I felt was definitely surreal. I couldn’t find her no matter how hard I searched.

April 5th, 2018.

After hearing a knock on the door I went to see who it was and to my surprise it was none other than Jaxon Friar. A little surprised I opened the door and watched him interact with Ella before turning to talk to me. After talking in the doorway for a bit I finally let him in and we sat in the living room for a bit and I watched him play with Ella. It was actually kind of cute. He was really good with her and that’s a good thing I think. 

May 16th, 2017.

Walking into the house was the same as it always was. Making my way upstairs was simple enough. I’d planned on taking a hot shower and cuddling up to Liam for the night. It may seem a bit repetitive or dull but I liked nights like that, especially after a long day at work. I was walking past a guest room when I heard them. Only this time when I walked in she looked straight at me and I wanted to kill her. Instead everything for the next few moments was a blur and then I felt her choking me. She wanted me dead because I’d come in the way of her and Liam.. While she was sleeping with him in my house.

After reading that last entry she sighed and knew it was time to put the book away. She wiped her eyes and she closed the book but held it on her lap for a few moments. Finally she put the book away so she could focus on other things.

Sitting in a bar Liliana sighed to herself. She’d gotten in because it was ladies night and she had a kick ass fake id. Looking around the bar she shook her head lightly. “Can I buy you a drink?” Hearing a familiar voice she smirked before turning to face him. “Well hello.” sh smiled as her eyes trailed his body looking him over. “Is that a yes then?” he asked. Laughing to herself she nodded. “Yeah. That’s definitely a yes.” she smirked slightly. “What are you doing here?” she asked him curiously. It didn’t take much for him to sit down in the stool next to her. 

“I was kind of hoping you’d be here.” he admitted. Smiling to herself she nodded. “I see. Well here I am.” she grinned. “So is stalking me becoming a tradition for you?” she asked curiously. He arched a brow. “You could say that. No really I was just hoping that I could charm you into a date.” he admitted. She arched a brow as she stared at him. “Why don’t you buy me a Lucky Leprechaun and we’ll talk about it?” she asked with a smile. She’d heard of the drink from someone passing by and the truth is she was curious about it so she figured why the hell not. 

When he’d agreed she smirked. “By the way. I like that green tie.” she teased. She could see the smile curve at his lips as she said this. She looked around and she scowled as a woman came up to him. “Hey there handsome. Would you like to dance.” Without missing a beat she stood up and she crossed her arms. “You know. He was going to dance. With me.” she gave her a look. “Now I think we’ll sit it out and order a drink.” she sat back down shooting daggers at the brunette before giving him a look. “I’m sorry about that.” she looked down. “One Lucky Leprechaun with a pot of gold.” the bartender said sitting down a green drink with a gold straw. She smiled. “Thanks for the drink.” she gave him a look.
