Love Me Like Cobblestone

Chapter 22-blackmail

Hey pebbles sorry I haven't posted. Been procrastinating for a while. Anyways, lots of love , Toodles!

Ian's POV-

I played with a tennis ball throwing it against the wall while the thunder storm beat the side of the house. Man today is dull. I think to myself as I hear footsteps come close to me. "Hey." "Hi Ben." I say without looking away from the ball. "Do you want to go outside?" He suggests. I look up at him and the Lightning lights up the room with the thunder coming right after the light. "I guess not?" I sigh and mess with my hair. "What happened?" I say without thinking. "What do you mean..?" Ben says with a confused look. "When did we build this awkward wall between.. Between what we had?" I ramble my thoughts out loud. "When the wedding ended." He mumbles. I glance at him and back at the ground. Silence comes into the house and I listen to the pitter of the rain as I think of what to say.

"I'm going to go to my room." I state and stand up and trudge to my room.

Did I just end our friendship?

On my bed lay a note neatly placed in the middle of my bed. I picked it up curiously and read it to myself.
Dear Ian,
I have Madelyn. You want her back? Come to St Anderson's street 5289 warehouse next Thursday. Don't come? She dies. Tell anyone? She dies.
Tell the police? She gets tortured and slowly dies. Get the picture? Hope you do because this isn't a prank.
With love,
