"Stella, I am leaving now, would be great if you keep this between us," Josh said sternly. "Well of course sir", Stella replied with a giggle.

"This would be our own little secret," she said as he closed the hotel's room door.

The next day

Breaking news, UG student, Stella Slowe, was found dead early this morning at Exxxon hotel. She was presumably struck with a glass bottle then hitting her head on the edge of a wooden table. It has been confirmed that UG student was intoxicated under a drug popularly known as ecstasy. More about the story will be released on tonight's news.

Feeling his whole head swinging, the furniture and everything around him became disarrayed. He suddenly got a really tight stomach. He then felt the spicy wings he ate for breakfast rushing up his throat.

"This is insanity," Josh said feeling hysterical. Crying, head over the toilet, clenching his stomach with his left hand, he began to feel sicker as he remembered, he was the last person seen with Stella, he will be seen on the camera, leaving the room.

"My life is over," he said under his breath. Wait, Stella didn't have any ecstasy, she told me she didn't, she had someone else over? He thought.

Bzz bzz his phone rang, after two rings, he answered.

How was fucking that slut Stella the generous. How did you enjoy, those pandas. I bet she is dying to know if you love her back.

Who are you Josh replied.

Who I am doesn't matter, welcome officially to the wager. We have a video of you entering the hotel will Stella.

Wait, you took someone's life, as blackmail? I didn't do it, the hotel has cameras, that will prove my innocence. Exxxon is not a high-end hotel, they have cameras, but they are not recording. Did you kill Stella? Josh replied.

No Josh you killed Stella, and if you drop out the wager and not pay your dues, consider your life over.

Josh became so numb, no words could escape his lips to respond, he became paralyzed with shock. This pain was taking over his insides. He felt his world crumbling, her last words made him burst into tears. Desperate for a change in events he closes his eyes.

"God, I know you are real, please God, get me out of this in one piece. I feel like I have a million tiny fractures on my skull. Please God make this pain stop." Josh cried as he covers his face with his palms. If only I knew, that was going to be the last time I was going to see, I would have told her, I loved her too; he thought to himself.
