DRAKE’S POVStephanie takes a while before she gets back to the table.She lets out a deep sigh as she takes her sit.“Everything alright?” I ask.“Yeah… everything’s…fine” She answers a little distracted.“It doesn’t look fine. Was it your cousin again?” I furrow my brows.“No, it’s just a friend of mine begging for some money, it’s a large sum, she ran into debt and is looking to refund” She explains placing her phone back on the table.“I don’t mind helping” I mutter.“Oh no, you…you don’t have to, I have it under control.

It’s your obvious last day, so I advise you say your last prayers” He states dryly.I scoff and cross my arms.“Are you one of those prank calls that try to scare people so they can give you money.

Just one night Bad news
DRAKE’S POV. Stephanie steps out of the car as we stop in front of her house. We had just gotten back from the mall. She had a hard time picking the perfect dress, so I had suggested that we come back. I also ordered the store to send the pictures of the samples they had. The ride home had been somewhat quiet, and as usual it was quite expected from Stephanie, but something just felt off. I climb out of the car to go and stop her before she could enter into her house. “Steph, wait” I uttered as I close the distance between us. “Yes” “Is something wrong? You had been awfully quiet since the store. Did something happen?” I frown. She scratches the side of her head, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear before responding. “Oh…um… it’s nothing too serious, I can handle it” She stutters, looking everywhere but my face. “You know….?” I trail off, tucking another stray strand of hair behind her ear “If something is wrong, you have to let me know.
