"Open the door. Open the fucking door. Aight, just remember I ain't want it to go down like this."
Before I could even fully process his statement a gun shot rang out causing me to scream. Another loud bang proceeded after the shot, too scared to o...

India POV
"Hi baby!" I cooed, as my miniature schnauzer climbed into my lap, sprawling out across it. He's usually so mean but today he feels like showing me affection so I'll gladly take it.
Stroking his soft black fur, I relaxed in my seat on my couch. Turning my attention back to the rerun of Scandal playing on my TV. It's one of the greatest shows ever created and I'll never get tired of watching it.
Out of my peripheral vision, I see my phone flash with a notification. I immediately reach over and grab it. I need to make sure it's not work-related. I'm a model and I also have a YouTube channel to generate additional income. Not an Instagram model, but a catch me on the cover of Vogue model. Social media still plays a large factor in my work though, there are brand ambassadorships, tutorials, Instagram take overs.
The notification was an email for my agent, trying to book me in some shows for New York Fashion Week. I shook my head, quickly typing out my reply declining his offer. I don't take work in New York anymore. Some things happened there a few years ago and- I'm not ready to dig up those old memories. There's no way in hell I'm going back there, even if I wanted to I can't.
I ran a hand down my face as I felt my anxiety starting to kick in, my heart began to beat faster and hands started to feel clammy. Just thinking about it was triggering me.
I took a deep breath in an effort to center myself, "Nope, nope. You know what we need?" I looked down at Noodle who cocked his head to the side as if he could actually understand me.
"Wine." I patted the spot on the couch next to me so he'd get off my lap, then got up heading to the kitchen to pour myself a nice tall glass.
I know I look young, but I'm legal I promise. A whole twenty two years of age, which isn't that much. But I'm not like a fetus.
I grabbed a bottle of wine out of my fridge, and set it on the counter to uncork the bottle. "Cup or no cup?" I wondered aloud before settling on no cup, that way there are no dishes to clean up. No dishes means running less water so, by drinking wine straight from the bottle I'm actually helping save the environment.
Glancing at the clock on the wall, I decided it'd be better to finish my wine in bed. It's well after 11 pm, heading back to the family room I turned off the television along with the lights.
"Come on Noodle," I patted the side of my thigh, nodding my head towards the stairs. It's an interesting name, but I didn't choose it so it is what it is.
Once we got up the stairs, I gently nudged Noodle with my foot. "Noodle go watch Av," I whispered keeping my voice down as not to wake the sleeping child.
