"I'm gonna kill you if I don't get that money!" Yelled the man

"No! Stop" I yelled

He moved the knife closer and slit my throat.

"Ahhhh!" I screamed waking up

"Hey, hey, you're fine" Illias said walking to my bed holding my hand

"He's getting to me" I said crying

"Aww, you're okay"

"how do you know? what if im not okay, what if the doctor says im going insane?"

"i know you baby, and i know you're gonna be just fine, i love you"

"i love you most" i replied 

"besides you're getting out of here today"

"Mrs.Whales" said the nurse walking in "you may go, but i don't want you going to school for a day, and Mr. Jones, step outside with me"

"okay, i'll be right back baby"

"she's not in condition to go to school for two days, but i'm allowing her only take one day off, so tomorrow when she goes to school monitor her?"

"sure thing doc"

Illias walks back in.

"hey baby you're gonna stay home from school today, but tomorrow you can go"

"okay, let's get home then"

Illias grabbed his car and we drove home, the entire way home he was watching my every move. as we arrived home the first thing i did was sit on the couch and call Stan.

"Hello?" said Stan from the phone

"Hi! its Cora"

"aww hi! beautiful, how are you?"

"i'm good how are things?"

"well, i have just been with Blake-"

i hung up at the name.

"whats going on?" asked Illias

"nothing most've cut out"

"okay"

my phone vibrates.

5 Km away from your school


i flip my phone screen to show Illias, he screen shots the text and sends it to Stan.

"you're gonna be fine i promise" 

"we might not have long Illias, so im saying this now, I love you"

"No don't say that! you're gonna be fine, we all will" Illias said crying "Im not gonna lose you" 

i kiss him with tears in my eyes.

"I love you" i manage to say the words while sobbing

"i love you most" he replied
