37 Days The deep end
POV Julian They’ve lost it. These two have completely and utterly lost their minds loving each other. I’m on my way to the second floor to drag my poor lady into this mess to keep X from going even further off the deep end. He’s out of his actual mind right now and I need to be the mediator for them and for this house before it all comes crumbling down because of X’s emotions. I don’t know what he expects to come from this. His and Millie’s relationship is toxic to one another, because of him. I feel for Millie right now, I want her to sort out her feelings and get the space that not only she needs but also deserves, but X will not let that happen. He always has to be in control of every situation, it’s been that way his whole life which makes him a good leader but an awful person at times. He’s not in control of this situation, to be honest, he’s completely out of control and he knows that. I understand that he fears if enough time passes that losing her would be solidified

POVXMy mind is frantic, Julian has been in his office for two minutes and it feels like it’s been an eternity. I’m pacing around the living room, the adrenaline is starting to subside and the pain from the glass in my hand that is surrounded by dried blood is starting to take its effect on me. I try to take shards out to occupy my mind until Julian comes back. I get out the larger pieces of glass the best I can but there are still smaller, deeper ones claiming my hand as their home. Julian walks out of his office, painfully slow. I rush over to him unable to bear another second of not knowing where the girl I love is. “What did you find out?” I ask eagerly. “Well..X, there’s not much to tell, he’ll try to locate Steph through her phone but even if we track Steph, that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s with Millie. He’ll call us with any updates and he can’t exactly track Millie’s phone given it’s partially in your hand…” Julian explains while pointing his index finger at my blood

POV Ghost I close the oversized entryway door behind me with two bags of essentials in hand. I’ve successfully left the inside of the house without getting noticed. Something captures my eyes at the bottom of the staircase. I slowly take step after step before it comes into view.Blood, blood catches my eye first. I’m puzzled, there’s blood, broken glass, and a black gun with its magazine off to the side. Who shot who? My mind is at a loss of what had happened out here, who would shoot someone right outside of the house? We have special places for that sort of thing. Forget that, I need to get out of here, I need to get to Arizona. I briskly walk the rest of the way down the stairs replaying what happened only an hour or so ago. I hated Millie, she made me look stupid in front of X. For the longest time I thought she worked here. Adria hated her just as much as I did, she stole the man she most likely loved from under her. We knew Hugo was coming here so we set up a plan to

POV XGhost freezes as soon as the gun touches his grimy, greasy skull. “Where the fuck do you think you’re goin..?” I spit out. His rough cracked hands are on the handle of the white car. “Slowly turn around with your hands in the air,” I say full of power. Thank fuck the gun was still laying on the asphalt just waiting to be used. He ever so slowly removes his hand and guides both hands just on either side of his ears. I want to look this fucker in the eye when I send a bullet through that brainless head of his. He looks behind me at the mess that was left not long ago because of him. My own guy fucking betrayed me. “What did you do to her X?” He asks like a little bitch. I laugh for a second and then immediately change my tone back to serious. “Oh, now you’re concerned about her? Now you care? You piece of shit fucking snake.” I demand. I bring the gun to his forehead and he doesn’t move a single inch. “Who else was in on this?” I ask hastily. He pivots his dark, almos

POV Ghost That was a close one in a couple of different ways. I almost just got my head blown off and I almost admitted my real secret to him that I intend to take to the grave with me. I watch X speed off, squealing my brand-new tires in my brand-new car.“Fucker” I say to myself, shaking my head. I don’t know what sort of realization he just had and I don’t care I just need to get the fuck out of here. I walk back to the house getting my keys to the other car I have here. Once I’ve retrieved them I take one last glance around the house, the home that I built with my now long-gone partners. I get into my blue Corvette and bring the engine to life as it roars a sound I love. I exit from the tall black gate bring my arm out the window and extend my middle finger to the house. “Fuck you, Sunset Avenue,” I say to no one but myself. Plans have changed, I need to go off the grid, I can’t go to Arizona anymore, there’s not enough time. Airport, I need to get to the airport. I kno

POVMillie My fingers delicately graze the bright green grass as the morning dew coats my fingers as I sit full of depression cross-legged on the ground. I arrived twenty minutes ago, just after sunrise. I let out a loud exhale and succumbed to my depressive state, letting tears fall in a stream down my face for the first time since I left. I pointlessly wipe away continuous tears with X’s black hoodie that I’m still wearing. It smells like him which makes me cry even harder. “Mama” I cry out to the headstone in front of me. “I wish you were here, I really need you right now,” I whisper through sobs. “I need you to tell me what to do, I need your guidance mom, I’m so freaking alone.” I stare at the glossed stone through blurry eyes. What am I going to do? I’m completely at square one, once again. I need to figure out what is going to happen for the next two weeks. I can afford a motel or hotel now luckily, but should I stay in San Diego or Los Angeles? I need a new phone. Now

POVXI hop on Interstate 5 driving southbound to San Diego. I’m going as fast as I can without drawing attention to myself. Although I have cops who work for me on the inside, it’s the rookie pricks who want a gold star that I need to watch out for the most. Goddammit, I want to floor this son of bitch. Every minute feels like an hour, I need to get to her. I love this girl and I know that anytime she’s upset she calls her mom, well she’s livid and heartbroken, doesn’t exactly have a phone to call Mom so that of course would mean she’s at the cemetery. Fuck, I started driving without even knowing where I’m going, my one thought was San Diego but not where in San Diego. I try to pull my phone from my pocket.“Fuck!” My hand is killing me and I just rubbed it against my pants. The friction of one another sends a searing pain all the way up my shoulder. “Ray,” I say through the phone. “I’m sorry X, I’m still working on Miss Taylor’s location, I need a bit more time,” Ray explains

37 Days Epilogue
POV Millie 6 months later “Ow!” I screech out. “Well if you’d just hold still!” X says looking up at me. “Are you sure you’ve tattooed someone before and I’m not the first?” I ask starting to regret my decision. He keeps his gaze on me and shakes his head in disbelief, “I’ve done this before baby, I’ve tattooed Julian plenty of times.”“Seriously? Julian? That’s not making me feel any better,” I say shaking my head back at him. He laughs, “I’m hurt you don’t trust me.” “Oh, whatever,” I roll my eyes at him and he gets back to work on my arm. The past six months have been quite life-changing but also in a good way. Julian proposed to Steph last month. I swear I question his mindset sometimes. He pulled another psychopath role-play scenario scaring her to death. “Marry me or I’ll kill you” I mean c’mon Julian…she’s been traumatized after walking in on me drenched in blood that day. My mind goes back to that day. It was a beautiful disaster. Stone worked overtime cleaning the
37 Days Eye for an eye
POVMillie & X XAs soon as the words fall from Stephanie’s mouth that Millie is in trouble I book it out of the door. I practically fly down the stairs, holding onto the railing for support but jumping four stairs at a time. Time is of the essence, every second that passes is a second closer to Millie’s death. I don’t know Dani’s motive here but I can only assume the worst. I’m finally on the third level of the house, sprinting through the hall. I hear Stephanie and Julian behind me, gasping for air as they try to keep up for Millie’s sake. A thunderous bang fills my ears and my heart plummets immediately. A gunshot. I want to fall to my fucking knees and die. “No!” Stephanie cries out but continues running behind. “309! It’s 309!” Stephanie sobs breathlessly. 312, 311, 310, 309! I instantaneously slide my master keycard in the door. “Fuck, hurry up!” I scream out kicking the door. Fucks sake an eternity later the green light appears. I hastily open the door barging thro
37 Days The truth be told
POVMillie I tell Steph I need some pain relievers for an oncoming headache but really, my nervousness has gotten the better of me. In the past two weeks, X has been a madman in his office for more hours than not. I’m not entirely sure what is going on or if it’s just investigating the incident from two weeks prior. Sure, I told him I thought it was Dani that one day but I chose not to press the issue after, for now at least. I roam the hall for a few minutes, something in my gut is feeling…off? I feel the presence of someone behind me, I go to turn around but I’m pushed against the wall, hard. “Don’t. say. A. Word” a husky voice from behind me demands. Fear strikes me within. Could this be X role-playing the way Julian and Steph did? Something tells me no though. I know X’s touch, his scent, his body and this is not it, it’s not him. The fear creeps over every inch of my body and into terror. I’m forced to move my legs to a black door and I’m slammed against it facing forward
37 Days + 34
POVX“Ah, what the fuck man,” Julian complains as I hit yet another solid ball into the pocket. I smirk his way taking all the glory as I’m currently kicking his ass in pool. “Gimme the lighter,” I say with my hand open towards his way. He hands me the red Bic lighter. I spark it up and light up my joint, take a hard hit, and hand the joint to Julian. “Good shit,” I say and then blow the smoke out in his face. “Fuck you, bro,” he says as it goes straight into his eyes. Oops. “Shoot your shot already,” I badger him.I sit on the crocodile brown leather bar stool and lean forward to watch him miss the shot. “Calm your tits,” he says concentrating on the yellow-striped ball. “Fuck yeah!” He yells out, dammit he got it. My phone vibrates in my pocket and I lean myself backward to reach inside the pocket of my black jeans to retrieve it. My spine stiffen from the text from an unknown number. +34 85601-1337You fucked up X. Now you’re going to pay. Blood will be shed Who the
37 Days Taking my advice
POV Stephanie I bring my computer to life, type in my password, and open up the browser to search for morning flights. “Do you think everything is okay?” Millie asks me laced with suspicion. “Yeah mills, don’t worry this isn’t unusual,” I remark calmly. “Okay,” she balls her hands into a fist on her lap. She notably looks uncomfortable as I go to work and it’s distracting me. “I think I’m getting a bit of a headache, do you mind if I grab some ibuprofen from your room?” She asks rubbing her head. “Oh yeah for sure,” I say handing her my keycard and she gets up stepping out of the office. Okay, now I can actually concentrate. I click on various flights, Julian didn’t say anything about a return flight so I choose a one-way ticket until advised otherwise. I book them their usual hotel rooms for three nights, once again, I can adjust it at any time. I text Julian that they have a flight booked for 9:30 tomorrow morning. I close my computer down, turn off my office light, and
37 Days Pressured to play
POV Millie It’s been an extremely interesting last couple of days. I sit on X’s lap wrapped in a light blanket on the balcony while we watch Julian and Slim risk their lives lighting off fireworks, the real Fourth of July. Although I hold my breath every time they bring a flame to the firecracker, the beauty of the lights over the ocean almost makes it worth one of them losing an arm. I snuggle into X’s hard warm body, wishing to be cocooned into him forever. I’m a lot more at peace now, X sat me down and explained his talk with Dani which I appreciate him doing. She’s still on my shit list though and I promise she’ll pay. …It’s Friday evening and It’s been two weeks since the Fourth of July. I’m physically and mentally in a better place but I of course still have my moments. X and I have been in a much better place as well since our brawl that one night. “Oh my gosh, you guys! We need to discuss chapter 23!” Mia says fanning her face. Oh yeah, somehow in the past two week
37 Days Flick you
POVXI pull Dani outside of the door and close it behind me. I run my fingers through my hair in frustration towards Millie. I don’t know what that shit was but this is obviously not working out right now. “Dani, look,” I start off as she looks up at me expectantly. “Millie is not okay right now and I apologize,” I say trying to be nice. “Look, X, it’s fine. She’s hurting right now and she needs someone to blame, it’s okay, I understand it and I’m not taking it personally,” she says being mature about the whole situation. “Thank you, but like I said, she’s not okay. Something about you is triggering her. She may be out of line right now but she is my main priority. I’m not firing you but I need you to stay away from me. As for work goes, I need you to go to Julian for everything. As for a friend, I like you as a person I really do but I need you to not text me anymore or come here unannounced or at all for that matter. Millie is my main focus and I need to respect her feelings,
37 Days The villain I’ll be
POVMillie I’m awoken by a knock at X’s door. X is still sleeping, miles away from me may I add. He was incredibly sweet to take care of me, holding me in the shower, dressing me, and sleeping next to me when I knew he didn’t really want to do any of it but he still did. For me. “X” I gently shake him awake. “What?” He grumbles out. “Someone is at the door,” I say. “Ugh!” He grunts, “stay here I’ll be right back.”He yawns and sleepily sits on the edge of the bed running his fingers through his hair and walks out of the bedroom. I rub my eyes and grab my phone from the nightstand, five o’clock?! My god that’s the longest I’ve slept in days, I really needed that. I have a text from Steph How are you feeling? Let me know if I can bring anything up for you. Do you need a spicy novel? Also, how’d the conversation with X go? That was two hours ago. Hey! Sorry I fell asleep. I’m feeling fine. We haven’t talked yet because we fell asleep. I might need some new yoga pants in a bit
37 Days Working overtime
POVXI’m on my tenth set of pull-ups, sweat glistening my entire body. My hair is drenched and pissing me off as it falls to my eyebrows, constantly needing to be pushed back. I’m trying to channel my rage without alcohol and working out is the only way I know how. I’ve been in my gym for two hours now, Julian joined for forty five minutes and then dipped like a weakling. I’m on my sixth rep when my phone vibrates and lights up with a notification. I finish my pull-ups, wipe myself off with a towel, gulp down some water and check my phone. Millie. I can’t do this right now. I do fifty push ups before I decide to text Millie back so I don’t lose my shit on her. She wants to talk tomorrow, I just don’t think I have it in me to face her yet. I don’t respond to her requests because it’s something I need to sleep on. We’ll see how I feel about it later. I do a few sets of Russian twists before I decide to end my workout for the night. I leave the gym dripping sweating, patting mys
