Anna.
"So..Noah is not in school today", Clary said, coming to sit beside me in the cafeteria. It was lunch break and I was surprisingly exhausted from not having slept well last night.
Anna.
Noah.
Noah."So I was thinking of getting Casey a pink bedsheet, and pink curtains too" Anna started with the things we needed in Casey's room.
Noah.I didn't know what to think. For the first time in my life, I actually felt fear. I wasn't even this scared when my father left or when Drew came and threatened to kill me. No, I wasn't.
Noah."Mr Bricks, please can you come forward and solve the equation on the board?" The maths teacher called from the front of the classroom. It was a really young woman maybe in her early thirties. She had a stern look on her face with freckles just beneath her glasses. She wore a black fitted skirt and black flats.

Anna.
Noah.
Noah."Come on Case!" I shouted from the sitting room, grabbing my jacket and looking around to see if I was forgetting anything.It was the Christmas holiday and after the school dance, Anna and I had started looking for a house to buy.Since I technically had a lot of money, I was thinking of moving out of this apartment, somewhere not too far from here, but better for Casey to grow up. And Anna and I had found a small four bedroom apartment just a few miles from school. We were moving in today, the place had also been decorated because we were celebrating Casey's birthday there, it was a surprise and we were already late. Everyone was waiting."I'm coming!" Casey yelled from her room before coming to
Noah."Daddy! Where are you and Anna going?" Casey asked, running into the sitting room with one of her toy cars in hand.It's been three more months of recovery. I could walk now but there was a limping to it. My left hand was still in a cast so it was difficult for me to lift heavy things.I had moved back to my apartment after Anna had gotten it cleaned up from Drew and his men barging in. The furniture had been changed and the doors. According to Anna, Mr Tony had helped to and I thanked him upon my return.It's been three months of trying to catch up with school work so I could graduate. Th

You were harsh on her" Anna said, rising from the chair."I didn't mean to. I'm not perfect in raising a kid" I mumbled under my breath, guilt creeping into my heart."I know. I'll be right back. Don't beat yourself up" Anna kissed me in the cheek before leaving me alone in the room.It didn't feel nice to be once again alone with only my mind to keep my
Noah.Anna and I talked all afternoon, and it was nice to sit and talk to someone normal. I couldn't remember when last I had a conversation with someone who I wasn't in a competition with, or who I didn't think of as a father or who I wasn't working for.As I spoke with Anna I found out that I didn't have any life goals. While I didn't want to ponder on that, it burned at the back of my mind mostly because I had someone to cater for now, my daughter.I've always wanted to do whatever I loved, race, hang out with friends and all that teenager shit. But there was now a responsibility on my neck and it wasn't just me anymore. I had Casey now, and I wanted to give her the best life I could.
**This chapter is dedicated to Kristen for your amazing review. Thank you 😊❤️Noah.It's a scary thing, passing out.There's no dreams. No nightmares. No memories.Just pure darkness. I felt like I was wrapped in thick black velvet and I would never get untangled from it. It felt like forever when I heard this strange sound. It took me a moment to realize it was breathing as I focused harder on it.Gentle, soft, maybe just a bit shaky, breathing.
Anna.It's been two weeks.And a lot has happened. For one Noah hadn't still woken up, my aunt said he's going to be in a coma for a while. And while I waited patiently by his side, I still had to catch up on a lot of things that had changed.For one, Casey and Drew. While we were all thinking Drew was an insufferable asshole who ate kids for breakfast, he was actually soft when it came to Casey.You don't understand. Hold on, let me explain.The night it all happened, Andrea died, Noah and I were trapped in the
Anna."NOAH!!!!!" I screamed, I managed to get my leg working as I ran to Noah falling down in front of him as my hand ran down his face.There was a huge gash on the side of his forehead, blood ran down his nose and the corner of his mouth. His body was bent in an awkward angle with his arms spread out.My vision blurred and stung as I struggled to breathe raising Noah's head to my laps"Noah! Stay with me please!" I cried, running my hand through his face to keep his eyes open. But they couldn't even focus on me. It was like he was staring at me but not seeing me.
Noah."Hello son" The man who abandoned me, my father said, coming to my side. A silver of anger shot through me but I swallowed it down watching as he stepped into the warehouse, narrowly avoiding the fire he glanced at the handcuffs and took out a screwdriver from his pockets."No! Get Anna first. There's a lever just at the side of the wall, don't drop her yet instead pull her towards you then slowly drop her. I swear if you hurt one hair on her head you will surely regret it!" I said through gritted teeth and my father frowned before making his way towards Anna who looked surprised as well glancing between us but not uttering a word.What was he doing here?How did he find us?
Noah."She was in the way. Stupid bitch being ruled by her emotions" Theo spoke, tucking his gun back at the back of his jeans before stepping away from the fire that burned between us. The heat made me sweat profusely.I couldn't speak nor move the handcuffs hurt but not as the pain accelerated in my heart. I could hardly breathe against the smoke making its way through my lungs."I met her just a day ago, asking me how to get you back. But even I didn't have an answer to that. But when she found out I had taken Anna she decided to join in the crusade. What she didn't know was that I want you dead Noah. Not gone far away, but dead. You and everyone you love" Theo laughed.
