''It's him,'' she said.
''Answer it'' I said motioning towards the phone. She hesitated but still picked up the phone. ''Hello, yeah I won't be able to come tonight''.
''I'm sorry, I just had an emergency and I had to..''.
''No, you don't have to-- ''.

He hung up the phone I guess because she didn't complete her sentence. ''He's coming here'' she said with a pale face. I started to panic, I needed to get to the police immediately ''we need to leave, quick we need to go''.
''Wait, why are you so afraid'' she asked me.''Cause he killed a man and he can KILL us too,'' I yelled at her which took her back at surprise. ''I'm not going anywhere,'' she said standing up, pushing back the chair,'' And why should I even believe you. You could be making all this up to get back or whatever''.
''Are you kidding me right now'' I asked.

We were talking so loudly that we didn't hear the front door opening. ''Hello,'' he said smiling, ''Didn't expect to see you here Ethan" he said averting his gaze to me. The fear and shock were evident in Anastasia's eyes, she went towards her phone which was lying on the table but stopped when he Aimed a gun right at her head. "Don't!" he said. I had no time to speak nor think, I had to do something.

Without wasting another second, I jumped at him, grabbing the gun from his hand and throwing it somewhere around the room. He fell on the ground and I fell right on top of him. My heart was beating hard and fast, I didn't notice where Anastasia went but she wasn't in the room anymore.

He started roaming his hands here and there to find the gun but then he stopped, stood up, and came towards me, more like rushed towards me. I'm not going to run away this time, I thought as I clinched back my fist and threw it forward at him, knocking him backward. He stood up with his nose bleeding and reached his hands into his pocket, pulling out something. It was a knife. Before I could even move a muscle, he leaped on me and punched me in the chest, knocking the air out of my lungs.

I looked down at my stomach and I saw the knife stuck in the side of my rib with the blood dripping from it. I fell down, right on my knees and felt my breath leaving my body with each passing second. He then pushed out the knife from my body and kept on stabbing me with it till my vision started to blur and my body stopped moving.
