When Darkness Falls

Justin's p.o.v

She was leaving me.

It hurt knowing that she didn't trust me enough to stay for the sake of our child.

I didn't know if she was lying when she told me that she had regret over ever falling in love with me. I couldn't tell.

I laid in bed thinking about yesterday's events. They just kept replaying over and over again like a movie.

I knew my behavior had changed but I didn't know why.

It's like I would black out and say and do things that I had no control over.

My dark side would show and I was beginning to think that maybe it wasn't just because Ana was pregnant, maybe something was trying to take over.

I was afraid of all the stories I had heard about demonic possession and I didn't know whether it was happening to me or not.

I gulped back the lump in my throat to stop myself from crying and I sighed.

I thought back to when Ana and I had first met and how easy it was.

I smiled to myself at the memories of finding her alone in the dark woods. She seemed so brave.

I turned over on my back and stared up at the blank ceiling.

There was a knock on the door but it was merely a maid. I shooed her away quickly and let my thoughts consume me once more.

Everybody was upset with me.

I had no one.

I was officially alone.

Anastasia's p.o.v

My eyes opened to see that the jet was going down. I stretched out my limbs and felt the aircraft bump the landing strip.

When it went still, I unbuckled my seatbelt and stood to my feet. I retrieved my suitcase from the top compartment and let it fall to the ground swiftly.

The stewardess thanked me once again for flying and I gave her a smile.

I was lead out of the jet onto a cement sidewalk. Small lights lit the way as it was now the early hours of the morning and it was still dark.

I rolled my suitcase towards the black car that was waiting for me and the driver grabbed it for me. He shoved it into the trunk and slammed it shut afterwards.

I sat inside the backseat and rested my head on the window as I awaited for the driver to get behind the wheel.

I didn't tell Shelley I was coming back.

She had no idea.

It would be an understatement if I told you I wasn't afraid to tell her I was pregnant. I mean, I am an adult and I can make my own decisions but this was huge.

I needed her more than ever right now and I only hoped that she would understand.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't thinking about Justin because I was.
