Hello again. 😁 I'm in the process of cutting my story into parts and editing. I would like to keep a good updating schedule this time. Not over do it and not slack. I have stuff written and I'm still tweaking. My hiatus gave me a nice breather but I wanted to start getting this story up. I PROMISE to you, that not every chapter will be so short. That's not my style.
❤️✌️
ANDY'S p.o.v-
I sat there on the floor for quite some time with the crumpled up piece of paper in my hand. I had been squeezing it so tightly my knuckles had gone white.
I knew what I had to do. I knew who I had to call. I didn't want to. But I just had to if I wanted Crystal back.
So I reached into my pocket and pulled out my cell. My whole body stiffened as I began to dial the number I had never forgotten.
Only 3 rings and her voice was booming through my speaker. I quickly turned down the volume, gagging. The nausea I was feeling had reached an all time high hearing the voice I never wanted to hear ever again.
"Andy. That was rather quick, it's nice to hear from you again."
"Where is she?" It's all I cared about. I wasnt going to fall for any of her stupid tricks. I knew her way too well.
"No hi, hello, how've have you been? I'm sad."
"F*uck you. I don't care about how you've been. I want my girlfriend and I want my child. That's all that I care about. Now you're going to tell me what you've done with Crystal or I'm going to k*ill you when I find you." Even though I was going to k*ill her anyway.
"You know Andy, you've always been the one to jump the gun and I don't think you're in the position to be threatening me, or telling me what to do. Not only do I have what you hold most dear but I have you on video murdering my.... Friends.... CCs in the frame too. Are you sure you want to play this game with me Mr. Tough- smarty pants?"
I threw the piece of paper against the wall before I shot up onto my feet and my fist collided with it next.
"What the f*uck do you want!?"
She giggled. That annoying giggle that I've always hated. "Guess."
"I'm not in the mood for guessing games Juliet!!!!"
"I don't care what you're in the mood for. You're not running this show Andy."
I took in a deep breath, trying my best not to lose my cool anymore than I had already lost it. I was so livid I could barely see straight.
"Me." I didn't have to guess. I knew. I had always known.
"Now was that so hard? You're not a stupid man."
"What the h*ell makes you think I would ever take you back?" I spat through my teeth.
"Your girlfriend's life. You care deeply for Crystal right? If you agree to be with me after your child is born I'll give her the option to leave the country and never come near any of us ever again. We can raise the child. It'll be like the one I never had... Like the one we never had, together."
She was psychotic. I always knew that. But hearing her talk like this was honestly freaking me out. Maybe I never knew what she was truly capable of. Maybe she had known about what I had done all along.
She provoked me to go to that apartment complex. So Id kill those two... And she f*ucking recorded it.
"If I do this.... If I agree to this... And you hurt Crystal in anyway I will kill you.... I promise you that....do you understand? I will find you. You know I'm not stupid. You know it won't be pretty for you."
It grew silent for a few moments on the other end. "Agreed, nothing will happen to Crystal once the baby is born. We will put her on a flight out of the U.S. You will convince her that is for her own safety. Lie to her and tell her you will bring her back. Do whatever it takes. But I want a fresh start with you. I want a family with you. More than anything..."
I could hear her voice cracking. She was an easy emotional mess and I would use that to my advantage. I had no idea who the h*ell she had working for her now. This had been all her from the start. I wouldn't let her hurt anyone I loved or anything... Not anymore.
She had ruined my life for long enough. She thought she could just keep weaseling her way back in.
"Ok.." Was all I could muster. I was still biting my tongue. I didn't want to say something that would cause her to hurt Crystal even though I knew she'd make sure the baby was safe. There was still plenty of things she could do to her without harming the baby. "Where are you?" I whispered.
"It's going to be ok Andy. I'll make you happy again. I promise it will be different this time. I love you."
"Ok, where are you?" I repeated again, trying my best to keep my cool. It took all I had in me. All the strength I could possibly muster.
She had no idea what was coming to her.
"If you don't come alone, I'll end everything. The deal will be off and it won't be pretty, to say the least."
"Don't threaten me Juliet. That's not the best way to start a relationship now is it?" I let out a mocking chuckle at the end of my statement.
"Ok Andrew. You just better come alone. It's a fair warning."
"I got that part. NOW tell me where you are."
