Little White Lies || Cricky [C]

17 | Spider

I guess I fell asleep at some point because I awoke to the sound of my phone ringing. I grabbed it from where it was and clicked the little green button.

"Hello?"

"Hey. Did I wake you up?"

"Uh huh."

"Sorry. I said I'd call you."

"I know."

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Yeah. I guess." I rolled over and pulled the blanket around me.

"Good. I just wanted to check on you. I should be home by tomorrow night. Things have been going quicker than I thought."

"Okay."

"When I get home, I'll take you shopping for new clothes. Okay?"

"Mhm."

"Alright. Go back to sleep. I'll see you tomorrow."

"G'night."

He hung up the phone. I placed it in the nightstand and closed my eyes.

Chris's POV

I heard it a split second before I felt it. The bang echoed through the room.

I fell to my knees.

I pressed my hand to my stomach. Blood was everywhere.

Pain radiated through my body.

I swallowed and looked up through my hair.

It was him.

He circled around me. He grabbed me by my hair and made me look up a him.

"I heard you were looking for me." He spat, dropping me back down.

I tried to respond but all I could do was cough up blood.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He mocked. "That's cute."

I choked on more blood when I tried to answer.

"When will you learn? Huh? Why do you keep trying? I'll kill every one of them."

"S-Stop." I managed.

"Why would I stop?" He asked. "You're gonna die here. In this sleazy little motel room. Fucking finally."

He pushed me onto my side. I cried out when I hit the ground. It fucking hurts.

"You're just gonna be another statistic, Christopher. Another man killed over some drugs. You're death won't matter."

"Fuck you."

He squatted down and grabbed me by my throat. "I thought killing you would be more fun." He said. "Since this failed to entertain me, I think I'll just go have some fun with your little toy. How does that sound?"
