As I set down my small suitcase by the front door I turn around to see my boyfriend staring at me. I smile and walk up to him, giving him a small kiss on the lips. "Hey, Babe," I say as he pulls me into a quick hug.
"Hey Baby, I have to leave for work so I won't see you when you leave, okay?" I chuckle and break away from his embrace.
"Of course, that's okay. Now, get to work so you don't get your ass fired." I slightly push his shoulder and he grabs his car keys, phone, and wallet.
"Three days?" He asks.
"Three Days." I smile as he closes the front door. After a couple of minutes, I heard his car pull out of the driveway and I watch through the window as he drives down the road. I then grab my phone and call one of my friends.
After a few rings, someone finally answers, "Hey girl!" I hear Emma's ecstatic voice through the phone made me smile.
"Hey, Jake just left, are you ready?" I could feel Emma's attitude change once the words leave my mouth.
"Hell yeah, I'll get Sarah and Christine and head over." I then hang up and put my suitcase back on my bed. I then unzip it and pull out multiple small cameras along with walkie talkies. I then take the cameras and put one in the corner of the room that faces the bed, one in the front of the hallway so you can see every door, One facing the front door, one in the living room that has a view of the kitchen as well, and one facing the back door leading into the backyard.
Right, when I finish I hear a knock at my front door so I got to open it. Once I open it I am met with the smiling faces of my friends. "Hey, guys!" I say as I let everyone inside. "You guys can just put your stuff on the couch, just make sure to grab everything once we are done setting up."
"Okay, so what have you already done?" Sarah asks, turning to face me.
"I set up the cameras but I still need to test them out. I still need to deactivate the security system in case we have to do plan B, other than that you guys are open to doing anything that will help us." All three of them nod and get to work.
I smirk to myself and pull out my phone, time to test the cameras out. I log into the app for the cameras and activate them all. I then go through each one to make sure they can record, view, and move properly. Once I make sure all of the cameras are working I go to the front door to see how Christine is doing on the security system. "How is it going?" I ask while watching Christine play with some buttons on the panel.
"It is great, I made it look like it is on but it is off, we just have to hope that it stays that way." I nod and walk off to find everyone else.
I find Emma and Sarah in the kitchen talking and eating fruit from the fruit bowl. "Did you guys get everything done?" I ask the two girls that were standing in front of me.
"Yup, we made sure that all of the windows were unlocked, along with doors," Sarah says while giving me a quick smile.
"Okay well, I will get Christine and we can head out."w I say and walk off to let Christine know that we are about to leave.

It is now 5:00 pm which means that Jake should be home from work. I walk into Emma's basement and find her on the computer. I walk up to her and put my hand on her shoulder and see what she is doing. I see the screen full of some code as Emma's fingers fly across the keyboard.
"Can I help you?" Emma asks.
"Oh yeah, did you download the program?" Emma then turns to look at me and smiles. She then types some more and a screen appears that showed my driveway. "Hey, I didn't put a camera there," I say, pointing to the screen in front of me.
I did, I thought it would be better if we got to see any new cars that park in the driveway. Emma was about to say something else but I quickly shushed her and pointed towards the screen. A tiny white car pulled into the driveway and a girl wearing a very short and tight dress. She walked up to the front door and pulled out a key to unlock it, she then walked straight into my house.
"She has a key!" I yell while clenching my fist with anger boiling up inside of me.
"Hey, calm down," Emma says while putting a hand on my arm. I ignore her and switch the camera to the kitchen/living room and watch as Jake makes dinner. The girl comes into view and puts her arms around him while kissing his neck. He turns off the oven and turns around to kiss her passionately. He then moves her out of our sight with his hands roaming her whole body. I don't even bother to switch the camera view to understand what is about to go down.
I stand up from the computer and grab my bag before walking up the stairs. I make eye contact with Sarah and Christine who are sitting on the couch. Once they see me they both bolt up and grab me before I can get out of the door. "Let me go!" I scream while trying to get out of their hold.
"No Rose, you will do things that you don't want to," Sarah says while taking my bag away from me
"I am going to fucking kill her and you guys too if you don't let me go." Tears stung my eyes and I finally gave up and fell to the floor. Emma sad down next to me and hugged me.
"It will be okay, he just wasn't for you."
"No, you don't understand! I am pregnant. I am pregnant and he doesn't know, I thought that he loved me but I guess I was wrong. I don't know what to do, I feel so alone." I cried harder and hugged Emma back.
"It is okay, we are here for you," Emma says that she pets my hair. "Right guys?" She looks up at Christine and Sarah who nod in agreement.
"Yeah." Christine and Sarah then join in on the hug as I cry on the floor.
