When Sloan Casey was at her lowest point at 17, she met Alex Abrams. Though sheltered it was almost as if Alex brought her back to life through her struggles. But after falling for Alex, the last thing she expected was for him to ghost her.
But what...

He stands staring at me, curled up in my covers. I clutch them close to my chest as I remain snuggled away in bed as he stands naked in front of me.
"You should really put that thing away," I warn, gesturing down as he laughs.
"Really, because if I recall about twenty minutes ago, you thought differently?" I bite down on my lip as he sighs. Then he checks his watch, staring back up at me. Was it not you who insisted we come back here because you had a 9 a.m. class?" I shrug once again, knowing I had 15 minutes to get ready and be there.
"What if I skipped, and we go to breakfast?" He rolls his eyes, shaking his head.
"You'll be cranky with me for letting you skip, and we have some applications to work on, do we not? I'll see you later," I groan, sitting up as he slips on his boxers. He leans forward over the bed, taking his lips into his. Then, squeezing the tip of my nose, he smiles.
"I'll see you later, Princess?" Before I can nod, a rapid knock follows the door. Alarmed, Adonis stands up, and I shake my head to signal I know of nobody's presence.
But as the knocking continues, Adonis whips open the door, ready to face who was behind it.
"N-naked! Adonis is naked!!!" Her voice shrieks out loud, and I freeze, covering up my chest. Lila scrambles in, and as I look at her dress, I freeze.
"L-Lila," I stare down at the blood against her body as she stands in me ❤️ NY sweats.
"Why would you open the door full frontal!" Her eyes remained covered but the tear stains remained evident against her face.
"I killed a man, I killed men Sloan- they killed Gwenyth and..." Her voice quivers slightly as she spoke, her innocents stripped from a once known voice. Lila didn't know about Ace, his endeavors and now that I did. Guilt ate at me inside from keeping it from my best friend.
She was his fiancé, carrying his child and I sat like a coward. Telling her nothing, she deserved better than me.
"Lila, Lila calm down who did you kill?" Adonis sits her down as she's shaken up.
"These men were trying to kill me, the nurse let them in and they came in. I killed them with the gun you gave me" He nods and turns back to me.
"Lila is the baby okay?" I ask the question I didn't and she nods. Then staring down her eyes widen-
"This isn't my blood" Her eyes bubble up again as she thinks back.
"Sloan pack your bags" His voice goes unwavered, but as I freeze he looks around and then gestures back. He was serious, "Sloan we have little time, pack your bags."
