"Alex... Alex..."

My eyes fluttered open, i was woken to a soft, sweet voice whispering my name. I could have sworn it was a girls voice, but why would there be someone here? and who could it be? I looked around, there was only a sleeping John right next to me, hugging onto one of the pillows. God he looked so adorable, but now whenever i look at him i still see the killer he is.

"Alex..." I heard the voice call again. i picked up my phone that was laying on Johns floor. i read the time, 3:00AM  guess i woke up in the middle of the night, again. I saw the door slowly creep open. My heart started to race for a second. It's probably just the wind? I shook my head and tried to fall back asleep. i closed my eyes but every 10 seconds i just heard the voice repeat itself. I groaned and sat up, looking over at John, thinking maybe he was just teasing me but he was sound asleep. I looked back over to the door and i was shocked. It was the short, brown, curly haired lady that was in the back of my car. How is she able to follow me everywhere? "what the...?" i squinted my eyes, trying to get a better look at her. Her red faded dress was torn, and he had a huge blood stain right between her ribs, there was also a gold necklace around her neck, it was glowing a faint yellow. I carefully crawled out of bed, and putting on a pair of boxers and some shorts, keeping an eye on John if he ever woke up. When i looked back at the door she was gone, but the hallway was glowing a bright yellow, shes probably still there, waiting for me, but why? I walked out into the hallway and closed the door, quietly. I turned back around and there she was, staring right at me. "Who are you and why are you here?" I kept my voice low so John wouldn't hear.

"you need to leave, John's a killer and he'll end up killing you too or even end up breaking your heart."

"what the hell are you talking about? i know John is a killer and i know he loves me, he would never hurt me in anyway." i snapped at her, giving her a cold death glare. she didn't respond right away, instead we stood in the hallway in complete silence for a minute or two. "who are you anyways?" She looked at the ground and sighed "Maria Reynolds, i was murdered by John Laurens and so were many others." I crossed my arms and shook my head "that's impossible, Ghost aren't real, and there's no way John could have killed "many others" He probably hasn't even been doing this for long..." I looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice the tears forming in my eyes to just the thought of John killing more people. what if he want's me to help kill with him? no... it was just this once. "Alexander I'm telling you know for your own good, if you don't leave now he will just end up breaking you piece by piece, slowly." I shook my head and turned to face her, with my eyes closed i didn't realize i was yelling. "You're lying!"

"Lexi, who are you talking to?" I opened my eyes with tears streaming down my face, i looked around the hallway and she was gone. I turned around to John who was half asleep, running his fingers through his long, curly hair. "Alex...? are you crying? what's wrong?" He started to walk to me but instead i ran to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. "you wouldn't hurt me... right?" i didn't get a answer straight away from John. I could hear his heartbeat speeding up as i rested my head against his chest. He finally wrapped his arms around me and said in a low, calming voice, "i would never..."

We both ended up in our own beds, for some reason... John kinda kicked me out? I don't remember it to well because I was extremely tired, but I do remember one if us yelling, u just don't remember what it was about.

That morning, John took my to the cafe, he walked in and took our seats. It was completely silent, not a single word. John was scrolling through his phone, as usual, while I took small sips every now and then from my coffee.
John placed his phone, facing up on the table "I'm going to the bathroom, ill be back." I nodded, taking a long sip of my coffee and watched him leave. Once he left I quickly grabbed his phone and unlocked it. I found something that broke my heart, and ill never forget it.

John had been texting a unknown number, that he probably, purposely unsaved it. At first I thought maybe it was a sibling? Maybe his mother? No... it was someone else. What hurt me most is the 'I love you' He sent right before he left to the bathroom. This couldn't be happening, John would never cheat... would he? My heart sank, I put Johns phone back down and pushed my coffee away.

John was still in the bathroom, my eyes started to water and I couldn't have him see me like this. I took out my own phone and rushed out the cafe, but of course, I memorized the phone number John had been texting. I quickly typed in the numbers and held the Phone to my ear as I walked back to what I thought was our apartment. I was shocked, I woman answered

"Hello, I'm Alexander Hamilton I'm calling Johns emergency contact, but you're number is unsaved on his phone. Can you tell me who this is?"

"Oh my god, is he ok?! My names Martha, please tell me where he is!"

Martha...

How could he?
