I am sitting on the couch when my phone goes off. I am expecting it to be Robert so without even looking at the name or the number I pick it up and answer it. Before I can even say hello I hear screams on the other end of the line. I get scared and almost drop my phone. That's when I realize it's just a baby screaming and not an adult. I pull my phone away from my ear to see who's calling but instead of a number, I get a line going across my phone saying

'Unknown/ Blocked Number'

'Who the fuck is this and why is there a baby screaming in the background?!' I think. Before I can say anything I hear a man start to talk on the other end of the line.

" I know what you doing" the voice says, " you think you can just go away with some old guy and just kick me to the curb! Well guess what. YOU CANT DO THAT! Meet me at 145 Brier Street in the next fifteen minutes or Marley dies. If you don't show within fifteen minutes I will kill someone you love every thirty minutes following. Come alone and don't tell anyone where you are going. Wouldn't want to stir up anymore trouble."

I am just about to speak up when the mysterious voice disappears and the line clicks off.

I stay sitting for a few seconds, pondering I'm thought when it all clicks.

'145 Brier Street, Marley, being kicked to the curb for some 'old guy'. ITS JOHNNY!' I think. I don't even have time to think anymore because my legs takeover and I walk out the door, hop in the car, and drive straight over to Johnny's. As soon as I get there I walk straight up the driveway and Johnny is waiting for me by the door. I don't see him because he is hiding behind the door. As soon as I walk in he he covers my south with ducktape, puts a bag over my head, and ties my hands behind my back with a rope. He walks me down a series of hallways in his house and all the sudden we stop. I hear a door open and next thing I know I'm being pushed down a small set of stairs. I fall and hit my gead on the concrete floor. I am unable to catch myself because of the rope. The whole room smells like blood and vomit. I hear sobbing coming from the corner but because of the bag I can't see anything. I am drug over to a chair and told to sit in it. The bag is pulled off of my head and I am shocked to see who is sitting in the corner sobbing. It's Robert. For a few seconds that is the only thing that my focus is on but then I realize what is all around me. Bodies, and not just bodies awake and alive. No, these bodies are weak, dead, and lifeless covered on blood. It takes me a few minutes to realize who the bodies used to be and once I realize who they are I break down crying. The are my family. My mom, dad, sister, brother. All of them. Right now Robert is the only one I have left and he is sitting there crying. This is all my fault! I got us all into this.

"It's a shame that you actually thought that I wouldn't kill them if you came. They were going to be dead anyways with or without you. Just like you will be in a couple of hours." Johnny said.

"There is one thing though. I saved the things that will hit the hardest for last. You will sit, tied up on that chair and watch Robert die and watch Marley die. Then you will die. It's just that simple."

The next thing I hear is a gun shot and the last few cries of Marley until he goes silent and his body is limp and lifeless.

Next is Robert. Johnny points the gun at Robert and asks if he has any last words.

Robert looks at me and says, "baby, I love you and I always have ever since the day I first laid eyes on you. I'm sorry it all has to end like this. This is not what I wanted our life to be like. I wanted to live happily ever after and this is what I get. I'm sorry... I really do love you."

A tear escapes his eye and the gun goes off and I scream his name. My life is about to end and I'm perfectly fine with it now. No one I love is on this earth anymore and I feel like I deserve to be dead because all of these people were killed because of me.

+ + + + + +

I wake up in a puddle of sweat and I am screaming Roberts name and crying. I must have fallen asleep on the couch waiting on Robert to text me back. My mom rushes to my side and asks what's wrong. I explain the whole dream to her and she just stares off into space, tears escaping from her eyes.

"This wasn't supposed to end up like this" the whispered to herself.

"What wasn't?" I ask confused.

"This whole thing. I assume that you had that dream because of the fact that Robert wouldn't text you back and you were thinking the worst was happening." I never thought of that but I bet she is wright. I was imagining the worst happened.

"The whole reason Robert wouldn't contact you today was because he's out setting up your surprise birthday party at his house and he didn't want to be texting you and spoil the whole thing. He made me promised that I wouldn't say anything about it but I think right now is an exception. I am so sorry that this happened. I'm going to call Robert and tell him what happened." I don't object because I don't want Robert to be angry at my mom because I'm not going to be surprised when I come into his house for the party later. About 15 minutes after my mom goes to make the call someone is at the door. To my surprise it's Robert. As soon as I open the door he give me a huge hug and kisses me deeply and passionately. He pulls away and looks into my eyes. His eyes full of worry and tears.

"Baby, I am so so sorry that all of this happened. I never wanted you to think something happened to me, I just wanted to make this a special birthday for you."

"Thanks babe and it is still a special birthday because you aren't dead and I didn't have to sit there and watch you die. I am so happy that you are okay. I never want to leave your side because if I do I'm afraid my life will fall apart. I love you Robert John Downey Jr., with all my heart."

We are both crying now.

"I love you too Alyssa Elizabeth Miers."

We just sit on the couch and hold each other, never wanting to let go.
