MARLOE LOISE STEVEN

"Hello?" Kelly mumbles on the other line one more time.

While I am having a hard time breathing. The disturbing images starting to attack my head. All I think about now is the nightmare coming to life. My heart contracts painfully in my chest.

What a turnaround.

What is she doing there?

Why is she answering his phone?

Why are they together?

It's already late in the evening. Why the hell are they together at a time like this?!

I can feel my hand starting to shake and my breathing coming out in pants. I'm starting to hyperventilate.

It's happening. Oh god, please don't let this happen. please tell me all these assumptions are wrong. I slowly pull my phone away from my ear gripping It very tightly almost cracking the screen and my knuckles are starting to turn white.

Then I heard his voice in the background. I feel another wave of nausea hit me.

"Kells?" His voice asks. I feel like my phone is just centimeters away from my ear to think that It's down pressing on my legs.

"Why are you holding my phone?" He asks. I can hear a suspicious coming out of his voice. I don't know why I'm not cutting the call. or her hanging up. It feels like she's deliberately making me hear they're together.

I hear Kelly mutter incoherent response until I hear another shuffling.

"Oh god." I hear Clace's voice mumble, his tone sends a shiver down my spine. "You Answered my phone!" He accuses sounding mad. I hear his panicking voice calling for me. "M, babe! Answer me, It's not what you think, M?. Baby.. please talk.."

The desperation in his voice is evident and I can hear his hard breathing.

"F*ck! ...Baby... talk please... listen to me-" He's begging now I didn't hear the rest of the words he's saying as I cut the call and collapse on Vicky's bed.

He promised.

"He promised," I murmur choking on my words.

You promised to trust him too! You should've listened!

My inner princess snarl at me looking so pissed.

Yes, I did. I did promise. But how can he explain this? What is Kelly doing there at a time like this?

"Loise you okay?" Regina's voice erupted in my ear. for a moment I almost forgot I'm not alone in the room.

Shit. I quickly wipe my eye from the tears and sit up in the bed looking away.

"Hey, what's wrong." She said worriedly walking towards me. Then I feel the bed beside me dip as she sits down next to me. I feel a warm hand on my back rubbing.

I choke on my tears as I continue to sob. It just keeps on going on. I can't Calm down. god, I feel stupid. why am I acting like this? I feel like an idiot. Clace is probably not doing anything remotely bad. Just a stupid coincidence.

I should've at least gave him a chance to explain! God, I'm so stupid. I should've trusted him. I promised. I should've given him the benefit of the doubt!

But he promises to stay away from her.

"Loise you're making me worried. please answer me" Regina's worried-filled voice pleaded.
