Reaching upstairs, he hurled me inside his room and closed the door harshly. I stood there shaking with fear. He looked scary. Extremely scary.
He tilted his head, forming an evil grin on his face. I couldn't move. I...

My hands anxiously hit the green button on my phone. It was Toby.
As crazy as it sounds, we made it. We were on our way back in a cab, of course to go unnoticed.
"Toby are you guys safe? Where have you been? We're trying to reach you since when." Oliver croaked. He was quite injured.
There was a brief pause on the line and then a sound was heard.
It wasn't Toby.
"I've got your brothers, Mr Grayson. Now listen to me carefully if you want them alive or else-"

"That's the hottest compliment I've ever received, grandpa." She chimed.
"Now! Here's my list of demands. I want a salary raise along with a promotion, preferably the CEO's position, then I want a customized black glitter handgun that matches with my new boots and most importantly I want the fridge to be stocked with ice cream at all times and-"

There was a bonfire and freaking fairy lights!
"What is this?"
"We're celebrating our victory." They high fived.
"What am I seeing. This is great." Oliver joined us shortly.
Vittoria's smiling face transformed into a worried one taking in all the bandages wrapped over his arms and his head.
"Told you this one would look good on you muffin." He smiled, pointing at her black tee which was surprisingly of her size with Cherry Lips, Crystal Skies written over it.
"And I told you this one would look good on you grandpa." She pointed to his white tee and I instantly understood why she must've insisted on buying that shirt. It was the quote imprinted on it which read If I had a face like my best friend's, I'd sue my parents.
