Nerah:

"Where's my son?"

I felt my body freeze up and my heart race.

I quickly put the call on hold and set the phone down. I looked over at Grayson who was sleeping next to me. I rolled out of bed making sure to wrap a blanket around my body. I hopped toward the big shirt I wore last night and pulled it on. I grabbed the phone and walked into the bathroom. I took it off hold.

"Put me on hold, Nerah?" He asked.

"I needed to do something..." I said softly.

"Where's my son?"

"What son?"

"Don't play stupid, Nerah. Everyone in Atlanta knew you were pregnant with my kid. Did you really think the news wouldn't get to me?" He asked.

"The baby wasn't yours."

"Liar." I sat quietly. "When I get out, I'm taking my son and you."

Before I could reply, he hung up. I felt my phone slip out of my hand and fall to the floor. My heart raced as I sunk to the floor and cried softly, not wanting Grayson to hear me crying.

I reached for my phone and scrolled through my contacts. My breaths grew hard as I listened to the rings.

One ring.

Two rings.

Three rings.

"Hello?"

"Zach?" I whispered softly.

"Nerah?" I cried softly. "Nerah, what happened?"

There was a bit of movement on his side of the line.

"Nerah, talk..."

"H-He called me..." I tried to force out.

"Who called you?"

I felt more tears slip and my breath get shaky. "Jordan..."

He got quiet. "How'd he get your number?"

"I don't know but he was asking about Apollo. A-And he said he would come take me and Apollo as soon as he got out of jail. Zach, I'm scared," I stuttered quickly.

"Nerah... Everything is going to be okay." I continued to cry. "Nerah? Nerah, listen to me. Are you listening?"

"Yeah..."

"He's calling you through the prison phone meaning he's still locked away and won't get to you. You'll be okay, I promise. I won't let anything happen to you. Nerah?"

"Yes, Zach?"

"Nerah, just breath..."

"Okay..." I whispered.

"Hey, I have band stuff and I gotta go. But listen closely." He paused. "Don't think about him, think about me. I won't let anything happen to you. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Where's Grayson?"

"Sleeping..."

"Does he know about Jordan?" He asked.

"Yes..."

The line got silent. "When did you tell him?"

"Last night. Before..." I trailed off remembering what Grayson said about the two years.

"Before what, Nerah?" I swallowed a lump in my throat.

"Before we... We you know what."

Zach sighed on his side of the phone. "Nerah?"
