She fell into a deep sleep. On the right side of the bed, her back facing him because she did-n’t know what to say after the argument. She had not heard him creep into bed but she had heard her phone ring in the middle of the night.
Her eyes were too tired to open completely so she just grabbed the phone from the nightstand next to her. She pressed a button then held the phone to her ear, “hello?”
“Harlow-Halley....” she heard Danny’s voice cry into the phone.
“Danny w-what happened?”
“I-I love you. I miss you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you” Danny cried on the other end.
Halley could hear rain drops in the background.
“Danny what’s wrong with you?” she grew worried.
“I want you back. I miss you. I miss your face. I miss your laugh and your smile. I love your personality. I miss your hair. I want to look into your eyes again. Your beautiful green eyes, Halley.”
“Danny ....” tears started to form in Halley’s eyes and she could feel something coming down from her nose so she sniffed. She looked over to Delano who was slight snoring, with his left hand resting on his chest. “... I don’t know what you want me to say.”
“Say you love me” he cried.
Thunder! filled the night sky outside. Halley jumped at the horrific sound and looked to her left, straight out the window, and only saw the side of the next door house.
“What” she asked.
“Say you love me Halley. Say you love me.... please. I need to hear that you love me.”
Halley shook her head as the tears streamed down her two cheeks. The room was very dark and she could only make out the objects that were white or pitch black. The curtains were open, making her able to see outside. “I love you?”
“And, I-I want to be with you. Forever.”

Lastly, I listened to a few voicemails from unknown numbers before starting to delete them but then my finger paused over one particular name. I never listen to her voicemails.

"Hi Dre," She spoke gently as my heart tightened in my chest,"Or Adrian," She chuckled softly,"I'm not sure what you like to be called anymore." There was a sadness in her tone,"I'm actually not sure why I'm even leaving this message...I've left a million and I still haven't heard from you over the past eight years so I don't know what makes me think this time will be any different." There was shuffling and a bit of silence before she sniffled,"But I miss you." My grip tightened around the phone. "I don't know where you are right now, or if you even still care about me, but I miss you," She cried,"And I really wish you'd come home." She whimpered. "I need you Dre...I don't know if that means much to you, but I need you." Then it ended. I sat in my car, steel gaze, staring at the road ahead. My mind racing but one thing was clear. It was time I went home..Complete

A Red Flag's Green Light (COMPLETED)
The rooftop scene played in slow motion in her eyes. Her boyfriend's hands wrapped around her best friend, their lips locked, their laughter echoing in the crisp morning air. Her heart didn't just break it turned to dust. The voices in her head chuckled darkly, whispering like shadows: "If you had chosen him... you wouldn't be in pain. He would never betray you. He has been watching, waiting... a red flag to the world, but to you... a green light." She staggered back, her breath trembling. "Who... who are you?" she whispered, pressing her hands to her ears. "We are your choices. Your paths. And the gangster who scares everyone? He would rather die than see you cry." The voices faded, but their words rooted in her chest. The next day in class, she could barely focus. Everyone knew her as the quiet girl who never caused trouble, but now her world tilted sideways. When she glanced at the back corner, she caught him staring Raven, the school's infamous gangster. He leaned against his chair lazily, tattoos peeking from under his sleeve, but his eyes those sharp, storm colored eyes softened the moment they met hers. She quickly looked away, cheeks burning. At lunch, she found her seat empty. Her supposed best friend didn't sit beside her anymore. Her ex avoided her completely, as if she was the one at fault. She tried to eat, but her throat closed up. Then a tray slammed down across from her. "You're not eating," Raven muttered, sitting down uninvited. Her eyes widened. "Why are you-" "Because you look like hell," he cut in. "And because I told myself if I ever see you cry over someone who isn't me, I'll make them regret it." Her stomach knotted. Was he joking? Threatening? Or... protecting? Before she could answer, the voices whispered again-only she could hear them: "See? He burns for you. Dangerous to others, safe for you. Don't push him away..."Complete
