Romana's POV
_________________________________________________

"Where are you going!?" I heard the one voice I was dreading call from the top of the stairs. I had all my stuffs packed including the ones Veronica had taken and was one foot out the door.

I cringed as I turned to face her, a look of horror and worry graced her face as she looked back at me awaiting an answer I was hoping not to give any time soon.

"Away" the spot between her eyebrows creased as she drew them together in confusion. She came down meeting me at the door.

"Away?" I nodded. Please just let me leave.

"Where?" From all of you.

"I just need some time away, I'm home sick" I said, the sadness was clear on my face as I didn't try to hide it but I couldn't continue here, I needed that job and I needed to stop Eros.

From what? My voice echoed, well wasn't it clear he ruined those people's lives and tried to kill his brother.

What proof do you have? And how is it your problem? Came the voice again but I ignored it this time, those pictures and text messages were enough. Eros was.. is a monster and he needs help before he ruins anybody else.

Isabella sighed and pulled me in for a hug but I couldn't hug back, if she knew about Eros's wrong doing she was no better and I had no respect for her.

"Please come back" she whispered, she knew, she sensed that something was wrong. I didn't answer I just pulled away and gave a curt nod before walking away.

Leaving her at the door.

I took one last glance at the house of horror, a house I may never see again.

I would just get my work done at arm's length, Eros would have to respect it if not then he'd have to get someone else to do the job.

I made it through the gate but with each step the baggage became heavier and it was not from my luggage, no, it was from the weight of knowing something was wrong in what I was doing, the plan didn't feel right but I just couldn't put my finger on it.

Did I make the right choice by leaving? Wouldn't it create suspicion? And why didn't I tell Eros.

"Uggh!!" Why did I have to get caught up in this shit, all I wanted was a damn job. I took out my phone and sent a quick text to Adrianna telling her to inform Eros that I would no longer be working from his space but mine per her request, that should take some heat off me for a while.

Satisfied with my plan I stopped the first cab I saw driving by and hopped in.

It wasn't long before I was Infront of my old apartment, it was vacant as usual nothing new, so I paid the driver and hopped out.

I made my way up the pavement and pulled out the old key, it was quite easy this time to open the grill and I was grateful because as I said before I didn't live at the safest parts of jersey.

I went up the flight of stairs and greeted my old apartment with open arms, my little bed and table was waiting for me and I missed them so much.

I placed my things by the door, closing it behind me then chucked unto my welcoming bed.

"I've missed you" I said with a sigh rubbing my face into the sheets.

It didn't take long for me to fall asleep and when I awoke it was already night time.

With groggy eyes I decided to get to work, Stacy said she didn't want to let this go on any longer so I should get this story out as soon as possible.

I pulled out my laptop and gathered all the photos and files I received from stacy, Veronica and Zues and all the things I gathered and began typing up the final draft for my submission piece.
