Chapter Fifty-Five
~Haven’s POV~
I couldn’t believe what Mr. Vera was suggesting.
That Tristian could have something to do with my father’s death. He would never.
Tristian was a lot of things. A liar, a manipulator, a bad boyfriend. But he was not a murderer. He wouldn’t hurt me just so I would get closer to him.
The defense lawyer was really going out of his way to try to prove Trevor’s innocence. The crazy thing was that Trevor himself didn’t seem like he wanted this. I think he actually wanted to take responsibility for what had happened.
“Haven Campbell, please come to the stand.”
I was shaky as I was sworn in. My eyes found Logan and then I felt safe again. He was like my anchor.
“So, Ms. Campbell, you were with Mr. Fletcher the night of the accident, correct?” Mr. Rush questioned.
“Yes, I was.”
“And was there a moment where Mr. Fletcher could ha

~Haven’s POV~Logan had been kind of distant with me since the trial. It had been a week of tiptoeing around the issue, but I just couldn’t take it anymore.“Logan, baby, is something wrong?” I asked.I knew we had to talk about what I had said at the trial. I hoped he wasn’t too upset with me.“Did you mean all that?” Logan whispered. “That he was your best relationship? He’s the love of your life...are you not happy with me Haven?”“Of course I am. Logan I love you. I meant that! At the time yes it was everything to me and I felt like my life had crumbled. But you’ve made it better. I’m happy with you. That’s why you’ve been the one by my side through this whole ordeal. I couldn’t have gotten through without you.”Logan studied me before smiling. “Alright. Good. Because I love you too and you being happy is the most impor

I was ready to fully get back to life without thoughts of flowers and table cloths coming up.I sighed and sat back in my seat. Finally the work day was done. I looked next to my computer at the framed photo of me, Mom, Heath, Grace and Logan at mine and Tristian’s first and last gallery exhibit together.Mom passed away nine months after that.

I knew something was missing, but didn’t know what it was.I now knew it was Tristian.It was strange because there was nothing wrong with Logan. He was perfect. But maybe too perfect. Sure that sounds dumb, but it was true.When we had gotten together he was exactly what I needed. Sweet, funny, loyal. During that time in my life, I required that kind of man.But three years later, things are different. I’ve grown as a person and while Logan has grown with me, I wasn’t sure he grew into someone that complimented the person I had grown into.Tristian had.Or had he?

~Haven’s POV~ “So you chose Tristian?” Aleecia asked as we got ready for the wedding. “Are you surprised?” Grace snorted. “I mean it was always going to be him.” “Yeah, I suppose. But what are you two going to do in different states?” Aleecia questioned. “We’ll figure it out.” I answered. I didn’t want to take the attention off of Grace by telling them that I was moving to New York. Tristian talked to Avery this morning, who was thrilled to hear that I would be coming there too. I think it was all going to work out perfectly. This was what was meant to happen. “I’m gonna go check on Heath.” I stated. As I reached the door to the boy’s room, Logan stepped out of it. We stared at each other for a moment. “You look beautiful.” Logan whispered. “You look really handsome.” I offered. “I’m sorry for how I left things last night. I just...I’m tired Haven.

~Haven's POV~ The Devil is everywhere. Especially outside this store. Don't get me wrong, I love collecting donations for the church, but some of these people really need Jesus! I cried out as a quarter bounced off of my chest into the jar. The guy walking into the store laughed. "You're welcome, Jesus Freak!" "Why do they have to be so rude?" My best friend Grace asked, pushing her glasses up on her dark brown face. Her chocolate eyes were filled with annoyance. "They don't know God, therefore they don't know love.” I said calmly. "At least he donated, I guess." "Thirty more minutes and then we're done?" She begged. "Yes, fine.
Repent Chapter Two
~Haven's POV~I was beyond furious after dropping Tristian off. What's his problem? Who throws quarters at people?And saying that Gabe pleasures himself to substitute the fact that we don't engage in premarital sex is just ridiculous! He knows nothing!Sure Gabe gets a little intense and grabby when we make out, but he's more than aware that we have to wait. He's never verbally said that we should take things further, but his actions when things get hot and his breath gets shallow do indicate that he wants a little more.He'd have to wait.Tristian is still a jerk and completely wrong.I took a deep breath and reminded myself that we're not supposed to judge others. That's not our job,

~Haven's POV~ I could barely sleep that night. I was always incredibly excited for the first day of school. And knowing I had art classes only made me even more excited. I had the perfect dress picked out. Knew exactly how I would do my hair and had brand new art supplies. I was so ready. I was up before my alarm went and I got ready for school eagerly. I texted Tristian to make sure we were still meeting early so I could show him around the Art Department. I got an immediate response. I wasn't sure how to feel about what Tristian had told me last night. He said I didn't seem happy with my life, only comfortable. And now he was making his mission to help me. I wasn't sure what that entailed, but he was wrong about me. I love my life
