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. I don’t like getting caught
Just one night My baby
ANDY’S POVThe slight beeping sound of the monitor pierces through my head repeatedly, making a slight groan escape my mouth.My head sways back and forth as my eyes open slowly. An ache jolts through my head as I try to move my eyelids, making another groan escape my mouth.My eyes slowly get accustomed to the bright room, as I take my time in opening them.I blink softly, my eyes searching the room if anyone was here.My eyes travel to the far end of the room to see Angel resting on Ethan’s leg as they both sleep peacefully.Ethan’s hand is resting lazily on her waist, twitching at intervals, almost as if he was checking on her, even in his sleep, with his head thrown against the couch, he still cares a lot for her.A small smile graces my lips as I weakly stare at the duo.I try to stand up but a sharp pain jolts from my lower body, making me groan loudly as my body yanks back down. It felt like I was being poked by a million needles.A small cry escapes my lips as the pain doesn’t
Just one night Protection
ANDY’S POVMy recuperation process took longer than it should because they were trying to save my baby alongside also save my life.All the while I was grateful that I at least got to keep my baby. It was a painful process but I knew I had to go through it.I knew I had to be strong. Not just for myself or Angie, but for my baby as well.Although I was still in the hospital and I still had a few days before I was discharged from the hospital. The doctor said I had to placed under observation for a while before they could be sure that I was able to go home.I didn’t complain nor whine about it. I was ready to do anything to save my baby.All the while I laid on this bed, I thought about one thing.I thought about how cruel a human being could be, how wicked one could be. Sometimes I cried myself to sleep because I know I made a mistake that night.I let my emotions get the best of me and I needed an outlet. A fix of some sort. To just unwind and let go of the day’s stress.But I had to
Just one night The truth
ANDY’S POVAngela and Ethan walk hand in hand into the room. As they approach my bed, a small smile graces my lips.They had been with me the whole time and making sure I didn’t have to worry about anything.I was getting discharged today, so they had come to pick me up. Honestly I was getting tired of seeing the same four walls every time.Especially the ones in the hospital. Inasmuch I want to get better for my baby, I was starting to hate it here.Angela pulls me into a hug as she get to me.“I’m so glad you’re okay” She mutters as she tightens her hold around me.“I’m glad I’m okay too… thank you Angela” I respond as we hugged. Ethan waves to me from behind with a sad smile and nod back at him, furrowing my brows as I send him a smile.“Is… everything okay?” I ask as Angela and I pull out of the hug.They both give themselves a look and I squint my eyes at them.“What do you mean?” Angela sends a nervous smile and I send her a look.“You both are acting weird. Is there something y
Just one night Actions
ANDY’S POVThe deafening silence that passed in the room after I had explained every single detail to them could be recorded.They were both dumbfounded and couldn’t find any words as they just stared at me in shock.“He is really cruel” Angela finally speaks and I run my hands through my hair for the second time, trying to rein in my anger.“Why would he do something so extreme? Try to take someone out completely because they are carrying your baby? It almost seems unreal” Ethan states calmly as he begins to pace back and forth in the sitting room.Ethan spoke calmly, but most of the time his actions don’t match his voice. He’s pacing right now like he’s about to loose it but when he speaks, you’d think he was narrating a movie or something.“But do you really have to go confront him? What if he tries to hurt you again?” Angela complains and I place her hand in mine before speaking.“He would be too shocked to see me alive before he can do anything” I shrug.She lets out a sigh of co
Just one night Two can play a game
DRAKE’S POVStephanie helps me get on the bed from my chair, tucking me in for the night.I stayed silent, not wanting to say anything. It had been like that for a few days now and truthfully I would love to keep it that way.I still don’t know what happened to me that. I can’t seem to wrap my head around the whole thing and I’m not going to lie, the fact that I can’t feel my legs as to be the worst thing to ever happen to me.“Get some sleep I’ll be back to check in on you. If you need me, just ring the bell okay?” She instructs softly and I nod, still no wanting to talk.I hear the pitter patter of her footsteps retreat and the door shuts softly, as she walks out of the room. I run my hand through my hair as I adjust the duvet on my body.I let out a deep sigh before closing my eyes, but I quickly open them back up remembering what happens whenever I try to sleep.First, I thought it was my mind just playing tricks on me and I was just hearing or imagining things, but I was sure I h
Just one night Going hunting
ANDY’S POVI block my face from the sun with my hand as I step out of Kelani’s News Company.It is the biggest News Company here in Texas and I knew they would want to take my story.I had gone to two others earlier today and I had agreed to do an interview by next week, if Drake wants to play the power game, then it’s game on.I climb into the car and Angela hands me a small bag of food and I take a peek inside.“Thank you Angela, I was about to tell you how famished I am” I state, grabbing the burger from the bag.“You’re welcome…so how did it go?” She asks as she starts the car.“They scheduled an interview for next week and one on Friday. I’m going to get payback” I state feeling very determined.“I still don’t think it’s worth it, but if it makes you happy and fulfilled then what can I say?” She shrugs.“He threatened me Angie, he spoke like some predator waiting to get his fix, and he doesn’t know, I may not have money, but I do have a will and nothing is breaking that. I’m goin
Just one night Never backing down
ANDY’S POVI struggle against the men as they dragged me out of the company building.“Let me go! Let go of me you douchebags!” I squirm out of their hold as we get back outside.I run my hand through my cloth, straightening out the wrinkles before turning to face them again.“Now listen to me, you sorry excuses for a bodyguards, tell that weasel in there that I said that I am coming for him. I am going to take everything away from him. I promise!” I yell in their faces and stay still, unflinching and unwavering.“Yeah stay quiet all you want! You darn bastards!” I yell, practically stomping towards the car and slamming the door as I got in.“What happened?” She asks with a little concern and I grunt with a frown, not wanting to talk about anything.“Drive” I mutter, looking out the window as I stared up at the company.Angela began to speak but her voice faded out with loud thoughts in my head.I was imagining this building crumbling before my very eyes and I was the cause.I kept gl

Just one night Reality
DRAKE’S POVMatthew paces back and forth in the office and I could not help but envy him. If my legs were working right now, I would love to do that too.“Can you stop pacing? You are sending the wrong signals to my brain” I complain and he stops in his tracks, flopping down on the couch on the farthest part of the office.The urge to run my hand through my hair, or plant my face in my palm gnawed at me so hard, but my brain and my hands were not in sync at this point.It angered me beyond measure. Because for the first time in my life, I could not do anything. Literally.I can’t walk when I want to, and I can not move either. Not because I don’t want to, but because I am not able to.And it is all her fault. It is all Andy’s fault. She put in this position.For the first time in my life, I have to come to a realization and face reality. I am helpless and I don’t have any hope until she says so.For the first time in my life I might have to at the mercy of someone.It would have been
Just one night Ask for help
MATTHEW’S POVMy shoe raps against the floor repeatedly as I waited out of the hospital room where Drake was being attended to.I am still yet to wrap my head around this whole thing, because it is happening so fast, everything is going on so fast and I can not even grasp onto one thing.All of this doesn’t make sense to me. I did now want to believe it at all.At first, I thought Drake was faking a story to just get rid of a girl. But I did not see the need to question him about it because it wasn’t the first time.I thought when all of that was over and we got rid of her he would tell me the truth like he naturally did.But I would not get past the fact that this was his actual first time of trying to get rid of a girl that he had slept with.Because all the girls he got with only spent the night with it and used it as some sort of flex. It was what happened when we got down with them.So how it got to all of this I what baffles me beyond measure. It was getting more serious as the

Just one night She hates me
ANGELA’S POVI bang my head against the headrest repeatedly as her words ring in my ear.Does he know?Does he know who you really are?I didn’t think she would play that card. Cripes I didn’t even think she would go that far.I could barely recognize Andy, infact I no longer know who she was. At first as I was confused. I was not sure if I was talking to the same Andy that I once knew.What changed?Why did she start to use such vile words?All I tried to do was protect her and her baby, but she was too far gone to listen.I had to go what I had to do. But I realized too late. I didn’t realize what I did was wrong until I had come down from my high anger.I let my emotions get the best of me. I was also trying to protect Ethan. He was getting too mixed up in the whole thing.In the beginning of all of this, his family was threatened.

What would have happened if I got home to meet Claudia dead or something?That was why I got so pissed and angry at him. He took it way too far.But who am I kidding? For someone who could send a serial killer to my house, he could literally do the impossible at this point.I run a hand through my hair as I get to bus station. I could not stop pacing back and forth as I waited for the bus.Too far Drake. Too far.The ride home took so long that I took a nap on the bus. There was a lot of traffic for reasons best known to the universe.Today has not just been good at all and it’s barely noon. I could not sle
Just one night Series of pain
DRAKE’S POV“Glad to finally get your attention Andy” I state as she bolts into my office. I think I have to change the door though.“Looks like slashing your tires wasn’t enough” She seethes as she closes the distance between us. Her hand lands across my face in quick succession.Her hand hurt so bad that I wanted to hold her hand to stop her, but my hands would not move.Luckily, Matthew comes in and pulls her away from me.“What is wrong with you?” He raises his voice at her causing her to give him a slap of his own.Matthew staggers backwards holding his face with a groan.“She slaps hard” He winces.“Put your hands on me one more time and see if I hit harder or not” She states at the top of her voice.Her eyes wide in anger and her fists clenched tightly as she stared at both of us.“Why would hit a sick man Andy?” Matthew raises his voice and she scoffs.“Why would you try to wipe a pregnant woman off the face of the earth?” She bites back.“I am sick and tired of all of your an

ANDY’S POVThe ride home took longer today because I got to the terminals really late and I had to wait for the next buses.It had to be the most stressful ride home, but it was all worth it immediately I saw my house in the distance.I tiredly walk to the house and knock the door. I had no strength to fish out my key and I just wanted my bed at this point.“Andy!” Auntie Claudia launches herself onto me as she pulls me into a hug.“Hey Auntie Claudia, I am happy to see you too, but I am so sleepy, but we can catch up on everything tomorrow, I promise we would” I tell her and she smiles.“Oh and I thought you were going to spend some time with us” She states and I frown.“Us? Who else is--?” My words get stuck in my throat as I spot Angela in the living room.“What are you doing here?” I seethe and she sighs.“Auntie Claudia-““Get out” I grit at her not wanting to hear anything from her.“Are you two fighting?” Auntie Claudia frowns and I roll my eyes not wanting to deal with this r

It was getting more and more tiring as the days went by because my work hard because I was the only employee in the café.Hilda said she has not had clients like this on a long time and saw it as some sort of good luck charm…and always refered to the baby as some sort of good luck magnet.My baby bump wasn’t out yet, I was finishing my third month in a week and I knew I should be getting ready for the baby bump.That is if I researched the right thing. If not… whatever happens happens, Drake brought this upon us, and I know he going through the consequences on his own.“Waiter!” Another customer calls and I almost groaned out in frustration but I held myself.I take their other and go back behind the counter to get it ready when the chimney dings again and another customer enters.“Welcome sir, please have your seat I’ll be with you shortly” I greet, not looking up from my sticky note as I try to
Just one night More lies
DRAKE’S POVI watch the doctor as he takes my samples again, and placing them in the small tray.I let out a deep and tired sigh and I stare at the doctor with a bored look on my face.“So doctor, how long would it take for the test results to be out?” Stephanie asks and I zone out of their conversation already knowing the answer.If this turns out to be the same after this….if there is no change in the results after this, I would have to rankle Andy to come to me. That would be the only way to get answers out of her.For some reason she would always answer my questions. Like she knows I would ask them. She always had a response to everything.But it all made sense when Stephanie explained that she bragged about it so much in high school.She just needed to find a rich man to pin it on and unfortunately for me, I became the victim. I had to be the one to bear the ruins.At first, I thought this was some sort of joke and a prank, until days and weeks passed and I couldn’t move a lot of
