Being so heavily drunk and returning to home so late at night was the last thing I wanted in this cold rainy night.

He had spoken some shit about a parcel or some stuff over the phone which was going to be delivered at our house....He didn't specify the contents , he only mentioned that it couldn't wait.

I found It to be a strange enough request, I mean why should it be our family house of all the god damned places?

I didn't get the time to ask him about it when he'd fucking hung up on me, one of these days i might just kill him for real.

As much as I would have told him to go fuck himself this was a work related and if there's one thing we never do is to mix personal feuds in the business.

It was a miracle how I got home in one piece with all the many shots of alcohol buzzing in my system .

I pushed the door open, the entire house was completely dark, the power was out due to the heavy rainstorm.

squinting my eyes to try adjust to the darkness at the same time a brief flash of lightening went passed.

I stood frozen to my spot.I'll be dammed at the sight before me.

Weather or not I was hallucinating which is what i'm sure as hell is happening at this moment.

I didn't want this vision to go....disappear into a million bubbles just like it had all done so many times .

But it doesn't feel like a dream ,It was the realest thing I've ever felt in the longest time.

GRACIE

It was so cold...

That was the first thing I realized as I slowly slipped into consciousness.

The icinesss slowly seeped through my bones making them completely numb .

My heavy lids groggily flickered open, I was met with complete darkness .

Ashley..

She had...

I straightened up from the hard floor so suddenly that black dots gathered at the back of my eyes for a moment as I fought back a wave of nausea.

It was too dark for me to take a look as to where I was but I could take a guess.

....And I wouldn't be wrong.

My wet clothes and hair were plastered to my skin.I wonder how long I have been out with whatever drug she had given me.

She could have only be talking about one person..

HIM.

A shiver that had nothing to do with the cold swept through me.

I searched my gaze around in panic as if he was present , lurking in the darkness...just waiting to grab me.
