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

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 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.
Just one night Best friends issues

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
Just one night The bullet
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

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
