Just one night Chaos
DRAKE’S POVThere are so many things I hate so much and one of them is not getting the job done.If that sorry excuse of a serial killer did his job right, my life would have been a lot more easier.I would not have to deal with some overzealous bimbo.I felt like I needed to pace back and forth, but even my legs are not cooperating with my brain and it just gets more and more annoying by the second.I run a hand through my hair for the umpteenth time today, clenching my fists repeatedly in a bid to rein in my anger.Matthew bursts into my office and I let out a relieved sigh“You’re late” I remark as he takes his seat“Had a meeting. But scrap that, what the hell happened? How did you end up on that?” He asks looking across the table and I run my hand through my hair.“I don’t know, I got a call from Code 4 about handling the whole Andy situation and that’s like the last I remember, I woke few days later on a hospital, paralyzed from my neck down” I explain and he does a double take.

ANDY’S POVA laugh escapes my lips as I look at my work from afar. Dusting my shoulders, I turn around and find my way to the subway.I knew I would not be getting home until dark, and Ethan and Angela don’t know I left the house again.But I am so tired of everything too, and I want to put an end to this, but if I’m not able to put an end to it, then let’s play the games.I let out a deep sigh as I stand at the station, waiting for the next train. The sun was setting at this point and the orange hue was beginning to glow, it’s been a long day.The ride home was faster than I thought, but it still got dark and I had to walk into the house stealthily.Trying my best not to make a sound, I open the door, and try to close it as quietly as I could when the lights come on startling me.“Where are you coming from?” Angela and Ethan stand in the middle of the living room, Ethan crosses his arms and Angela places her hands on her waist.“Just went to take care of some things” I shrug trying t

ANDY’S POVI barely slept a wink last night and I seriously hate the fact I couldn’t because I tried so much to just close my eyes but my own words kept hunting me.Maybe I was too harsh on Angela last night and I realized that like few hours into the night.I run my hand through my hair as I swing my feet off the bed and walk into the living room.I did not have dinner yesterday because of what happened and I was feeling so hungry right now.I step into the kitchen to fix something for myself, and settle for some leftover pizza, literally wolfing it down in secondsIt was still pretty early in the morning and I am pretty sure Ethan and Angela would still be sleeping.I decide to watch a movie to keep myself occupied, but I could barely focus on it.My words from yesterday kept ringing in my head and honestly I had realized how wrong it was like a few hours ago, but I can’t just bring myself to acknowledge it and own up to it.Yes, it is petty, it is immature and maybe a little coward

ANDY’S POV I wake up to the feel of a cold pack on my head as I try to slowly open my eyes. The room I was kept was dimly lit, but the mattress felt familiar and soft, so I figured I was still at Ethan’s house. My head moves weakly to the side as I squint my eyes and furrow my brows to get accustomed to my surroundings. I let out a small groan as a mild headache jolts through my head, and a movement beside me startles me. “You woke up….oh thank God” He mutters softly and I try to sit up. “No, stay still, you still need to rest, you had a bad fall” He explains and everything from the past few hours came flooding into my head and my eyes widen. My hands instinctively fly to my stomach as I look down at it, I stare at Ethan with my eyes still wide. “Is the baby okay?” I ask, searching his face as he tries to avoid eye contact with me, busying himself with the bowl of water on the bed side table. “Ethan answer me!” I raise my voice, making him jolt and he sighs. “Your baby is fi

ANDY’S POVHis assistant and I walk into the conference room and I sight him sitting at the head of the table.All heads turn towards us and it takes a while before he registers my presence.His eyes widen with a familiar look, once again looking at me like he had seen a ghost.I send a small nod towards his assistant and she exits the room.I square my shoulders and send a small smile to the men in the room as I walk towards Drake, making sure he was not suspecting what I was about to do.Although a slight frown graced his face, he still tried his best to keep up his stoic façade as I took further steps.I stand in front of him and my smile immediately disappears. My hand connects with his face in swift motion as I slap him.Shocked exclamations pierce through the room, but I don’t stop. I continue to slap him, as the thought of what he has done to me keeps ringing through my head.I continued to hit him as I let out a frustrated cry, before a man comes to create space between us.“Y

DRAKE’S POVThis has to be one of the many times I wished that my legs were working.I knew I was going to have another episode at this point and for some reason I wished the episode was one that could lead to my demise.I didn’t want to face this or anything else after that. I was suffocating. The whole thing was suffocating me.I began to pant in my seat, my chest tightening as it gets a little harder to breathe.It was happening again, and this time I didn’t plan on stopping it. I wanted to see how far it went.Maybe I deserved this and maybe I did not, but I knew I needed a release somehow.My body convulsed against my will, prompting my eyes to roll to the back of my head.The whole replayed over and over again in my head, how she wept and how they left. The look of disdain and disgust covering the features of their face as they stared at me like I was some monster.Maybe I am.But in this very moment, I didn’t care. I just wanted everything to end. I wanted this episode to be th

ANDY’S POVI block my eyes from the sun with my hand as I get up from the bed.I decided to sleep with the light on and I forgot to shut the window last night before I went to sleep, so the blinding sun greets me with a subtle threat of blindness.I put a slight pressure on my eye to ease the sleepiness before climbing out of the bed.It was hard to fall asleep last night because my mind didn’t stop replaying the events of that day and when I finally fell asleep, I did not know.Thankfully the exhaustion played a huge part, so I think I had a pretty good sleep.I decided to try some job hunting as I knew I needed a better paying job since I was literally working for two now.But what company or restaurant or anybody would take a pregnant woman that would work for less hours and still pay really well.But now that I think about it, I do have to meet Drake in the evening and if I went job hunting I might exhaust myself before noon and I did not want to put my baby at risk.I decided to

I didn’t want to seat down because the station seats were not looking like they wanted to be sat on.I can’t even try to think about the last time this place has been cleaned. It’s so dusty and dirty and there is trash everywhere. What’s worse, it is on the seat.Isn’t that a crime or something?Well you can’t know what is a crime and what is not when people like Drake are walking on the face of the earth.Who tries to literally take out the mother of his child? I don’t even want to know his reasons or anything, but you just don’t try over and over again to take someone’s life.For what?To cover your tracks? To keep your reputation? I just can’t wrap my head around this

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?

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

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

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

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.
