"YOU KNOW WHAT!you need to calm your self!" I yelled at Kevin we were sarcastically yelling at each and I was trying my hardest not to laugh boy I tell ya. He soon got serious.

"I think someone is at the door he said and I looked at my phone screen a blurry image as he was walking to the door.

"Who is it" I asked. The screen was clear but now his phone was in a position facing the ground. He didn't speak yet.

"Is everything alright Kevin?" I said through the phone wondering why he got all silent.

"Oh shit!!" I heard him yell along with some noises.

"Kevin what's wrong!" I yelled scared to death. The screen went to an orange and quickly black.

"Kevin?KEVIN!" I yelled as a tear rolled down my eye. Then Kevin's face appeared in the screen.

"Surprise!!!!!!" He yelled out. I instantly frowned at him. Not cool Kevin. He started laughing. And I hung up in his face.

I know Just met Kevin, but it seems like I grew attached to him. It's really hard for me to picture him as a murderer. My phone was making a noise, it was an in coming FaceTime call from Kevin. I let the phone ring for a while then answered it.

"Why you hang up on me?" Kevin chuckled.

"Maybe it's because you scared the living shiaaaaht out of me" I said in a duh tone. Making him smile.

"Awwww you were worried about me" he grinned.

"Well your my friend, why wouldn't I?" I confessed. Honestly now that I think about it I don't really have any friends other than Kevin. I don't know about Daniel but I guess we're cool.

Me a Kevin we're now staring at each other. It was our little weird thing that we started to do on a daily bases. I check the time and saw how late it was.

"Kevin I'm gonna go to sleep " I said snuggling into my fluffy pillow still staring at him. He smiled and leaned over to turn off his lights.

"Sweet dreams Stacey"

Monday .....

I didn't go to work today, instead I was on my way to meet Devin somewhere. He didn't give me much details but an address. He wanted to talk to me about some case that he's been working on.

I parked on the street across from what I assumed was Mr.Gordon's home,made my way up the two little steps on the patio and knocked on the door and Mr.Gordon answered.

"Hi Stacey" he reached out to give me a hug and moved from out the doorframe for me to come in. I stepped in inhaling a warm smell of...spaghetti? I thought.

"I thought that you might get hungry so I made some spaghetti" he guided me to what I assumed was his dining room.

"Ok" I responded. Sitting down at the table looking at all of his paper work while Mr.gordon fixed my plate and slid it in front of me.

"Thanks" I said still looking at all the papers. To be honest I felt very awkward being here.

"So what did you call me for" curiosity was written all over my face as I wondered why weren't we at work and stared at all of his antiques on his shelves.

"Well I just didn't want no distractions to get in the way." Distractions?

"I'm sorry but may I ask what distractions are you talking about sir" I'm hinting it may have something to Kevin....

"That Karl guy that keeps coming unannounced to talk to you!" Did he really raise his voice at me?I raised my eyebrows in complete shock at his out burst. Devin was clearly pissed .

"He only came to talk ONLY TWO times you even allowed us to go outside to talk! So you can't get mad" boss or not he I am not going to let him press on me like this no more obviously he's on something.

"I Didn't want to cause a scene! I was just being NICE!" Frustration was pouring out of his mouth. The very first day he we started working he had NO problem being an eggplant to me so what's the deal now?!

"Why are you being nice? You didn't have a problem being rude & nasty to me the day we first started working together! So what's the problem now!" I said standing up breathing hard.

"YOU KNOW WHY! BECAUSE I LIKE YOU...OK!" His face was different...I noticed the dark circles around his eyes and his eyes were no longer the pretty eye color that he had. I was scared, the vibe he was giving me was absolutely terrifying.as he walked towards me still showing that he was pissed. we were now facing each other.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK ASS HEAD" I felt a large bang on my head as Devin  pushed me making me fall and hit my head on the marbled walls. I moaned in pain rubbing the back of my head quickly stand up . It was time for me to GET OUT.

"Where are you going " he grabbed my arm and I quickly moved it before he got a good grip. And grabbed my purse. And ran out the dining hall.

"STACEY!" I heard Devin yelling after me. I looked back to see if he was far away from me. I saw him slam the door to the dining room open.

"STACEY " I was now out of the door. Stepping the wrong way on my foot down the little steps on the patio. I got in my car locking the doors a split second before Devin had ran up to my car.

"Open the door Stacey!" He commanded banging his hands as hard as he could on my windows. Terrified that he'll break them I quickly started the car. Causing him to try and jiggle the car door. I then sped off tears of fear coming down my face sobbing uncontrollably.

Devin's pov••••••••••••••••••••••••

I jumped back from avoiding myself to get ran over . I couldn't stop breathing heavily. I went back inside before any neighbors came out to see what  as going on. I slammed my door shut and walked back into the dining room.

"FUCK" I threw a class cup against the wall and started smashing all of my antiques that I got from all around the world. I looked all around the dining room and dropped down to the floor covering my face with my now covered in blood hands.

"Why am I like this?" I sighed.
-----------------------------------

Stacey's pov••••••••••••••••
I got out of my car still sobbing as I walked up the stairs instead of taking the elevator to my apartment. I don't understand why this unnecessary crazy stuff is happening to. I just want to live a boring lame life but no that can't happen. I had a bunch of text messages and missed calls from Devin making me cry even harder I wanted him to just leave me alone. I picked my phone up getting ready to throw it until I realized I had an incoming call from Kevin. I was hesitant to answer because I really wanted to just hear his soothing voice but at the same time I didn't want him to hear mines. I answer the phone anyway.

"Hello?" I tried my best to sound like I was sleep. Yeah like he's going to believe that at 10:30 in the morning.

"What's wrong" I closed my eyes trying to remain calm before I answered.

" ugh nothing I just woke up so I'm just a little tired " I sat on my couch. I heard the phone move a little.

"Yeah you know I don't don't believe anything you just said " darn.

"Are you crying? Why are you sniffing?" He sounded a bit annoyed and pissed.

"To tell you the truth...yeah " no use of denying it. It's so funny how Kevin could read me but out of everybody that I met, I couldn't read or understand his actions the different tones in his voice or his facial expressions.

"What's wrong Stacey?" I heard him walking back and forth.

"Can you just come over? I don't feel like talking on the phone " I heard him sigh then he responded.

"Send me your location "
