A month had already passed since Chase went back to the states , I hadn't heard of him ever since then . He did tell me that contacting each other would be dangerous so I shouldn't expect any calls or messages from him

But still , i missed him so much , and so did Melody

I woke up every morning in my empty bed , gazing at the pillow where he used to sleep on . The biggest surprise off all this was the fact that grandmother had also came and decided to stay with us for a few weeks , coincidence ? I didn't think so

She had been helping me a lot concerning Melody though , they always got along so well so I didn't have to worry about her when i leave her and go to work

But one day Cassy suggested that Melody should stay with her for couple of days since her nieces were also staying with her , Melody wanted to go so bad so i let her , it was only me and grandma at that moment

When i finished work , Harold suggested having lunch together and i accepted , he also noticed that i was so lost in my thoughts lately that I hadn't been paying enough attention to my patients

When we sat down in one of the restaurants , he asked to tell him about what was bothering me , so i told him that Chase had gone back to the states for business and that was it , I couldn't say anything further , and Melody and i were just missing him that's why . Harold didn't seem to believe me entirely

" well , don't let that distract your mind from work , it's a matter of time before he's back right ?" He asked me and i nodded , few minutes passed before he spoke again ; " you know , you never told me what he does for work ?" I looked at him strangely and nervously

Why this sudden question ?

I stuttered in my words as i began to speak ;" he works for ehmm.. cars business , he-owns an agency in the states " That was the cheapest unreal lie i had ever told . Harold hummed at me before returning to eat his food

After lunch we said goodbye to each other before each of us got in his car and drove away home

When I returned home , grandma was in the living room reading a book , wandering my eyes around , i spotted a gun placed on the table , i dropped my bag on the ground and walked to her ;" what the hell is that thing doing here in my house ?" I asked as i pointed at the weapon

She raised her eyes at me and shrugged ;" it's for protection why do you think I'm here for ?" She stated and resumed reading her book ;" Cassy can drop Melody here any moment we can't let the gun out , and who's gonna use the gun ? You?" I asked her again

" your grandmother was a feisty shooter in her youth Eda , do not underestimate me , plus , three of my men are outside the house guarding us , you don't need to worry" she said and i narrowed my eyes at her as i looked outside through the windows ;" but there's no one out there " i told her and she smirked ;" exactly "

I sighed and walked straight to my room , i took off my clothes and took a hot shower to relax my muscles , my mind went straight to Chase again , wondering how was he , was he eating and sleeping well ? Was this whole fight thing going good for him ?

I cleared my head and put on my clothes as i dried my hair , after finishing i went downstairs and found grandma preparing dinner for us , i went to the kitchen and helped her a bit , not that she needed any help preparing macaroni and cheese , i only prepared the table and washed the dishes after

While we were sitting in the living room , grandma continued reading as i was working on my laptop , suddenly and at that moment , the power went out , and everything went dark inside the house , the only thing that could light up the place was the moonlight shining through the windows

Grandma and i looked at each other weirdly , the first thing she did was grabbing that gun , she gave me a look , telling me to calm down , the next thing that happened was the sound of beating , then gunshots and men growling , i quickly put my hand on my mouth preventing me from screaming the minute i heard the shot

Grandma got up , holding in her hand the gun so tightly as she walked to the door , she looked around through the windows and none of her men appeared . Grandma continued walking to the door

the moment she stood in front of it and was about to open it , the door opened itself brutally and hit grandma until she fell on the ground , a man wearing all black appeared , armed and fell on grandma trying to hurt her , she managed to hit him with the gun to his face but couldn't shoot him , she turned to me and yelled at me ; " RUN"

I didn't know what to do , I didn't want to die nor did i want to leave her , the man didn't pay any attention to me and tried to hurt her again , i took that chance and grabbed the huge lamp we had in the living room , i hit him in the head with it so hard and he fell unconscious

I helped grandma to get up and we wanted to run outside the house , only for us to spot another guy coming in our way , the man's partner I guessed , we quickly went back inside and slammed the door shut , the man kept hitting the door as hard as he could to break in

We noticed the other guy on the ground starting to wake up ;" c'mon let's go" grandmother spoke as she began dragging me , we didn't know what to do , there was no other exit in the house except for the front door

We went upstairs, grandmother told me to hide in one of the rooms , i looked at her weirdly , was she telling me to leave her behind ? Yes , did i accept? Yes again because she made me . She already had her gun and decided to go down there again to finish at least one of them

I gulped before I entered my bedroom and hid in my large closet , typical classical move but what could have i done ? There was no space under my bed and the bathroom was way obvious

After closing the closet's door , I couldn't hear anything so clearly anymore , i did hear couple of gunshots and furniture being thrown down , i covered my mouth with my hand as i held back my tears , fearing that something might had happened to grandma

I heard strong fast footsteps coming towards the room , I managed to look through the closet holes , it was one of the two men , he searched around the room , until his eyes landed on the closet behind him , where i was hiding , at that moment i knew , i was busted and found

He smirked before opening the closet ;" NO" i yelled as i tried to escape , only for him to grab me by my hair and push me down on the ground against the bed , i shivered as i lifted my head and looked at him in fear ;" p-please , d-don't do this " i pleaded him , trying to get his affection

But I don't think that worked , i bet he killed a lot of people who also begged him for their lives ;
" sorry pretty one , boss's orders" he stated before pulling out his knife from his pocket , i closed my eyes as i let my tear fall down my face , surrendering to my fate

All i could think of in that moment was Melody , and Chase , how I couldn't say goodbye to neither of them in a proper way . With my eyes still being closed , i heard another shot , i jumped out of my place and opened my eyes , the man had a bullet in his forehead, he fell to the ground next to me , dead

I looked up and my eyes went wide as my mouth fell opened at the sight of the person who saved my life , it wasn't grandma , and it was the last person I ever expected

" H-Harold ?"
