-Gabriella’s POV:-

“It’s a private number” I mumble to Jake who in turn looks at me questioningly.

“Answer it” he responds, looking at me whilst pointing to the phone.

Biting my lip I pick it up.

“Hello?”

“Hello, is this Miss Gabriella Fenton?” the person on the other side questions.

“Yes, this is she. Who is this calling?” I sit up straight, curious to know who was asking for me.

“This is Edgeward Police station”

Feeling my breathing hitch, I stand up.

“The P-police?”

“The police? What’s wrong Gabby?” Jake asks rising to stand next to me.

I shush him and return to the phone.

“Yes. We were wondering if we could make an important visit. Something has taken place and we were wondering if we could make a visit so we could talk about it?”

“Y-yes. W-what happened?” I stutter.

“We will discuss that once we meet. We shall meet you at the house you have been residing in for the past few weeks. If that is okay with you?”

“Y-yes” I respond feeling sick all of a sudden.

“Thank you. We will be at the address given in the next half hour. Thank you for the time”

 “We need to go to the Carters as soon as Jakey!” I rush out whilst gathering my things and making my way to the door.

“Come on Jakey!” I shout panicked.

“But-”

“JAKE HURRY UP” I scream. My cheeks red and my breathing coming out in short pants.

I don’t know what to expect but I know that the news won’t be good.

I rush around looking for the keys but before I know I’m caged in jakes strong arms who then turns me around so I’m looking at him.

“What. Happened?” he questions seriously.

After explaining to him what was said, we were both rushing around before leaving the house and getting into the car and soon, we were on the roads driving to the Carters.

“Did they say anything about what happened?” Jake asks whilst one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding mine and also squeezing it gently.
