"Baby do you want some chicken, come let's go?" Jamal said sauntering into the living room looking a little tense, I shook my head leaning against his leather sofa.
Mum and dad decided to send me up here hoping it'd help me feel ok but I don't think it's working.
Instead of taking a seat he grabbed his large jacket and placed it over my shoulders.
"Ok no questions we're going to Dixies to get some chicken"
Too tired to talk I allowed him to push my forward.
Jamal went out first, I was about to follow him out when he hurriedly pushed me back inside and slammed the door. What's going on?
"Jamal?" I mumbled confused, a part of me began to shake in worry.
"Go to my room" he ordered pushing me towards the corridor, I shook my head furiously. They can't be back God they can't!
"What's going on?"
Is someone here to take me again.
I can't do this anymore.
My mind went into overdrive as a harsh knock echoed through the apartment. My breathing quickened.
"Storm!"
Too lost in my thoughts I didn't notice my body falling to the ground. God, what is happening to me?
My vision became blurry as Jamal began shaking me worriedly.
Seconds later the main door fell to the ground with a thud, the culprit looked like a blurry shadow standing above me.
"Storm?!"
Andrei
No no, it can't be.
Clutching Jamal as close as I could I attempted to calm myself down.
Andrei pushed Jamal away and gently lifted me, he placed me on the sofa and began rubbing my back gently. The feeling somehow began to calm me down.
"Breathe, please"
As I calmed down I shot up from the sofa and away from him, why is he here, God why is he here. My heart beat sky rocketed even further.
"Get out!" Jamal yelled pushing my body behind his. The atmosphere in the room thickened as I held onto his arm. What is he thinking?
"I need to speak to her"
"She doesn't want to hear it"
"What are you her fucking puppet let her speak!" He spat taking a step forward, through a small gap I could see Andrei itching to reach his gun.
"Andrei leave" I whispered, unable to speak any louder, if he harms Jamal I won't be able to live.
His fury faded into mind hazing sadness. His body sagged in defeat.
"5 minutes, I just want 5 minutes and if after that you don't want to see me then I'll leave" his voice became a gentle whisper "I'll never see you again"

Action" Fucking hell Storm, I swear to God!" he seethed, before Andrei could finish his threatening sentence I interuppted loudly. "I'm sorry God can't answer your call at the moment, please try again later. Leave your message after the beep. BEEP BEEP GO...
