"Hey Baby yourself," her boyfriend, Jonathan said back.
She laughed and smiled into the phone."What's up baby?"
"Nothing much, just thought I'd ring my wonderful... beautiful... girlfriend and tell her that I loved her."
"I love you too but she's not home right now," Adriane joked.
"So, where is she?" Jonathan asked playing along.
"Well..." she was about to say something when she heard his doorbell ring in the background.
"Let me get that, Babes," Jonathan said as he walked to the front door and swung it open.
"ok" Adriane waited, listening.
"Can I help you?" Jonathan ask a huge man standing in the frame of the door.
"Yes...you can...SIR..." Adriane dropped the phone when she heard her boyfriend yelling.
"HEY! STOP!!! You can't come in here!!!" Adriane picked the phone back up just in time to hear Jonathan yell out in pain. "AAAAHHH!!!"
"oh my god...." Adriane whispered.
"AAAHHHH!!" Adriane didn't know what to do..she was so confused..it was all happening too fast.
"JONATHAN!!!" Adriane cried out.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! ADRIANE!!! I LOVE YOU!!!" Adriane felt warm tears swelling up in her eyes when she heard this.
Her boyfriend of 3 years was being attacked...maybe killed... and she just stood there like an idiot! Her brain was yelling at her 'RUN!!! GO GET HELP!' but her heart urged and pulled her to stay with Jonathan knowing that this could be the last time she ever heard his voice. She was beginning to get dizzy. Just as she was about to run for help, the other end of the line grew deadly quiet. She could feel more tears because she now knew the battle was over...and Jonathan had lost. Adriane suddenly stopped dead in her tracks when she realized there was harsh breathing coming from the phone.She smiled weakly thinking it might have been a mean joke...or maybe Jonathan was alive. "Jonathan? Baby? is that you?" she cried softly into the phone.
"YOU'RE LITTLE BUDDY IS DEAD AND YOU'RE NEXT!!!" click!
Adriane stood holding the phone in her hand. She broke into tears and fell to the floor, head in hands. Screaming at the top of her lungs, she cried out in pain. Not the pain that Jonathan had felt, but pure agonizing pain that cut through her. It pierced through her hurting deep inside.
Adriane jerked her head towards the front door when it swung open suddenly. She gasped and jumped up, running into the kitchen blinded by the tears. her hands searching for protection and wrapped her fingers around the largest butcher's knife she could find. "BRING IT ON!!!" she yelled waving the knife in the air, daring the dark figure in the doorway to approach her........
