*The next morning*

The door bell rang at the Madrigal mansion. Anayah was the only one home so she was forced to go see who was at the door. Analeigh didn't come home last night. And her parents left for work.

"Kathy? What brings you here?" Anayah opened the door.

"I need your help Anayah. I received this text from an unknown number but when I verified from Dylan's contact list, it was Sergio's." She entered and showed Anayah the text.

*Unknown: Watch your back. You might lose the baby. I'm watching you. "Accidents" do happen all the time.

Anayah gasped, "Have you told Dylan about this? Oh my goodness. What the heck is wrong with Sergio?"

"I haven't Anayah. I'm scared. He threatened my baby's life didn't he? Dylan will kill him. Or Sergio will kill me and my baby."

"Why did he even take interest in your baby? That's crazy."

"Sergio has had a childish crush on me ever since we were in junior high. Back when I used to have a thing for his older brother. He was kinda mad I didn't feel the same way for him, but you can't force yourself, can you?" She sighed.

"No, you just can not." Anayah sighed as well.

Kathy smiled weakly and continued, "He's been staring at me like a mad person anywhere I see him, for some time now. Dylan got confused as well. He was even at the hospital the other day. I'm so scared Anayah. Really scared. I didn't know who to turn to. I did go to my roommate and some other friends I trust but they all thought it was a joke and laughed at my face. You were the only one I could think of." She paced.

"Kathy, don't you think you should tell the police about this? Or your mother? Or Dylan? Why come all the way to my house? Not to mention, you're alone. It's not safe. How'd you even know where I live?" Anayah questioned.

"Almost everyone on campus knows where you live, Anayah... The police? They won't pay attention to me. They'll think it's a prank. My mom? She'll tell me to tell Dylan. She doesn't really care bout my baby. I mean, she's okay with it, but if something happens to it, she won't really be bothered. And Dylan? I just can't. He'll overreact. You're the only one smart enough to give me a Calm plan. Get it? So please help me." She cried.

Poor Kathy, Anayah thought. She didn't have to go through this. Much less now, that she's pregnant and didn't even wanna be.

"Listen, you need to go home right now and calm down. I've got some friends on campus, including Sergio's roommate. They can keep an eye on him. Don't worry." Anayah hugged her and walked her out.
"Thank you, Anayah. Thank you so much." She smiled brightly and pecked her cheek.

Kathy was really happy that Anayah was there for her despite all the Dylan drama. Though Anayah didn't say much, she felt some sort of inner peace. She was happy she went to see her.

Anayah decided to video call Renar and Ronné via Skype to tell them what just happened.
Ronné was with Brad so he was included.

"Guys, Kathy is in trouble. Sergio strikes again." Anayah informed them.

"That guy is hella weird. Thank goodness we're done with this project. I'm getting scared of him." Ronné said.

Renar just sighed, "What did he do to Kathy?"

"You shouldn't be scared of him, Ron. He's not acting alone. I'm going to get to the bottom of this." Brad chipped in.

"He threatened Kathy's baby. He talked about accidents and crap. She hasn't told Dylan yet. What do we do?" Anayah said quickly, "And what d'you mean by he's not working alone? Who else would want to kill Kathy's baby? And why?"
