"Why?" I asked tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Why? What are you talking about?" Ross asked.

"Don't play stupid with me." I growled."You were dancing with Zendaya!I saw you Ross!" Ross hung his head.I nodded and ran out crying.

-End of dream-

I sat up panting.

"Just a dream." I mumbled.I felt something on my cheeks.It was wet and warm.I wiped my face and looked at my hands.Tears.I walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.My eyes were red and puffy.I washed my face and headed back in the bedroom.Ross was gone.I headed downstairs and saw him sitting at the table,drinking orange juice and on his phone.

"Hey" He said looking up.

"Hey" I said sitting down.

"Sleep well?" He asked.

"Ummm....it was...interesting." I said.He nodded and continued.

"Where's Emily?" I asked.

"At my moms." He said.

"Oh ok." I said.It was silent until I got a phone call.It was an unknown number.I got up and went in the backyard.

"Hello?" I asked as I pressed the phone against my ear.

"Hey,is this Dove?" Someone asked.

"Why?" I asked.

"This is an old friend,Maddison Prescott." She replied.I felt tears coming from my face.

"Maddison!" I yelled.

"Dove! It's been awhile! How are you?" She asked.

"Oh Maddi,it's been good.Me and Ross have a baby." I said.

"Oh my gosh! How old is it?!" She asked.

"She's 2 months and her name is Emily." I said.

"Awwwwww!!! Congratulations!" She said.

"Thanks!"I said.We started chatting and laughing for about 30 minutes.

"So why did you call?" I asked her politely.Silence."Maddi?"

"Dove,I called to warn you." She said.

"Warn me? About what?"

"About-" She was cut off somehow.I heard screaming.It sounded as if she were hurt.

"Maddi! Maddi!" I yelled.I looked at my phone.It said that the call was ended.I started breathing heavily.I dialed her number.It rang until the phone was picked up.

"Hello?" I asked.Silence."Hello?"

"6 more days." I heard a voice say.I froze.6 days? Ok I am now panicking.I hung up and sat down in a chair.There was a buzz from my phone.I looked at it.It said there was a picture message from the unknown number.I went to messages and clicked unknown number.The picture was kinda blurry so I clicked it to full screen.When the picture popped up,I screamed.It was Maddi.She was tied up in a chair,her throat was cut,she was stabbed many times in different places,and her mouth and eyes were filled with blood.I dropped my phone and ran inside screaming.

"Ross!" I said screaming and crying."Ross!"

"Dove!Baby,what's wrong?" He asked as he quickly grabbed me.He pulled me in a hug and I put my head in his chest.I sobbed for a few minutes until I finally spoke.

"Ross,do you remember my friend Maddison Prescott?" I asked.He looked into my eyes.

"Your best friend since 5th grade?" He asked.

"Yeah,well,she was the one who called my phone when we were talking." I said."We were talking and laughing but then she told me she had called to warn me."

"Warn you about what?" He asked.

"I-I don't know,Maddi didn't get a chance to finish."

"Finish? Why not?"

"She was screaming after she said,'Dove,I called to warn you.'"

"Why was she screaming?" This felt like a quiz show!

"I didn't know at first but I found out that...that..." I started breaking down into tears.Ross pulled me close again.After a couple minutes,I pulled back.

"It's ok." Ross said grabbing both my hands.

"Look at this." I said pulling out my phone.I clicked on the picture but didn't look at it.I turned my phone for Ross to see.He grabbed my phone and his eyes widened.

"Woah,not cool.We need to call the cops Dove." He said.

"We can't." I said.

"Yes we can." He responded.

"Ross,what are the cops gonna do?! Sit there and go 'Sure thing miss,we'll catch the killer.' but end up with nothing?! Is that it?!" I yelled.

"Well they're gonna do something!" He yelled back.

"Oh yeah,call the ambulance to take the body away!"

"Well,besides that! Dove they can do something about this situation!"

"No Ross! They can't! Ok?! There is someone super psycho calling my phone and counting the days until it's your friends death date! And guess what?! He killed my friend! My best friend! So I know only one thing,that the cops CAN'T HELP!"

"They CAN Dove! You don't know how much they helped us with the situation with Emily!"

"Oh yeah,you mean sit there and put us on the news! Ross,think! How much DID they really help?!" Ross stood there silently.I nodded and planted a kiss on his cheek."We have to use our way." I whispered.I let go of his hands and went into our room upstairs.I dialed Rydel's number and it started ringing.

"Rydel here.What's up?" I heard her say.

"Hey Delly,listen,I need a favor," I said.There was silence for a moment.

"What can I do to help sister?" She asked.
