Grace's POV
I can't say for certain how long I've been sleeping for but their voices woke me up today again.
It is a quiet morning on a new week. Everyone is happy that they haven't seen more of their grumpy boss to spoil the day.Lisa was in her office going through some documents when an unexpected guest walked in.Without asking he helped himself to an empty chair baffling her."What are you doing here?" she asked, feeling frustrated by just looking at his face.The last time she set her eyes on him was the day after her birthday when she chased him out of her apartment, she thought she wouldn't come across him again but she was wrong."To see you of course!"She rolled her eyes at him."okay, thank you for stopping by. Can you leave now?"
Grace's POV I'm quite surprised in myself because of how far I had gone from the bed, when I thought of this idea it was just a fleeting idea that I never thought would be fruitful. I had only walked a few feets from the bed and it felt like a mile. My heart was beating fast against my rib cage, I'm more scared of him coming back and finding me like this than falling face flat on the floor. A few steps more and I am at the door breathing heavily, sweat made my clothes stick to my skin like jelly fish. Fear envelope when I realised the door might be locked but with shaky hands I reached for it and to my surprise it wasn't. I was too happy and forgot to not to let go of the wall, I rested all my weight on the door and once I opened it I barrelled out of the room falling face first to the ground. The pains and shock of the cold hard floor almost knocked the wind out of me, I can swear I saw stars. I didn't want to make any noise so I bit my lips to keep me from screaming. My nose f
"Those fucking bastards" he cussed silently while fidgeting with the car keys trying to turn it on as fast as possible. He noticed something was wrong after exiting Vivian's house and he saw a car following him, he wasn't thinking much about it until it kept appearing out of nowhere. For a fact that it wasn't an outstanding car made him realize they meant business. He tried running from them an uncountable number of times but it wasn't working and they would appear out of nowhere like they had a tracker on him. He had checked himself earlier on to be sure they hadn't put a bug on him.The sky was beginning to darken and he had one more stop to make before heading home. Originally his days were never occupied but he kept driving around since morning in an attempt to throw them off. After exiting the convenience store he was surprised not to see them from the corner of his eyes like
Grace's POVWith more grunts and several shoves at the door it finally opens, I struggled to sit up but she helped me. It was currently dark in the whole house with the minimum source of lighting coming from the window in their room. I was amazed at how she was able to help me rest on the wall. With no questions she went off to set the other girl free making me wonder what she was planning on doing before or was my presence the breakthrough for that.She was pretty tall with a sturdy build, it makes sense that she was able to break the door. But the other girl was in a worse condition than her, she couldn't stand on her own. It tore my heart to pieces to see writhe in pain as she was guided out the room.
Gideon's POVI was so impatient but had to let police do things they are way. After they let out another warning they proceeds to open the door.They were still short of the door when gunshots rang from inside the house , immediately one of the policemen in front of me went down in a soundless heap. Few bullets flew past me and I went down on my stomach with every man still standing, painful grunts beside me drew my attention to see Daniel writhing in pain.Blood was dripping out of his left shoulders."Daniel! Daniel!" I called out but he didn't respond.
Grace's POVIt seems like eternity later but we made it to the house in one piece, it looks very different closer with so sign of occupants."It looks abandoned," The smaller girl said, her voice stronger than when we talked in the house."We can't be too sure until we check," the second girl replied.After a few seconds of rapid knocks the door opens to reveal the silhouette of a woman.We have no idea what time it is but it is quite obvious it pass midnight.
Grace's POVThe sleeping face belonged to Lisa and I felt guilty for doing that to her, she looked around frantically trying to figure out what went wrong."What is it?" she asked puzzled."Nothing" I replied in a small voice.The floating cloud turned out to be a large bed, I was a little disappointed when I realized the beautiful beach was just a dream."Then why did you scream like there's a snake in the room?" She asked, glaring at me."I was only startled waking up to your sleeping face dumbass" I replied glaring back at her."I have missed you terribly" she said suddenly chuckling at the choice of words.
Grace's POVSix months later.Things have changed, the season has changed.We are currently at our usual club drinking like we used to, just the three of us but tonight the atmosphere isn't the previous immature and rowdy we always possess. We are all calm and happy."When is he picking you up" Rosie asked Lisa as she checked her phone for the umpteenth time.I wasn't as surprised as Steph when she broke the news of her engagement with Daniel to us a few weeks ago, I'm just concerned about his sa
