Just one night Daggers and death
ANDY’S POV“Yes, this is Andy” I speak into the phone.The number had no caller ID and it was calling from a private number so I didn’t know who it was or why they were calling.“I’ll make this quick and easy” A deep gruff voice speaks through the phone and I furrow my brows.“Sorry who is this?” I ask.“The last voice you would ever hear. 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. Well I don’t have any money to give you” I remark.He laughs bitterly into the phone.“You’re a feisty one aren’t you? I hope you are this outspoken when I come to take your life” He said and I roll my eyes.“Are you trying to be a serial killer right now? Let me guess, it’s your first day on the job? Tell whoever hired you to give you a two star” I respond.“We would see about that” The line goes dead and I throw my phone back on the bed.I was feeling h
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

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?
