Chapter 51 : The Return

*Trinity's POV*

A sense of dread began to fill me as the images swirled around me and I recognized a familiar scene taking place. I was sitting on my bed, alone, with a phone in my hand as a storm raged outside the window.

There was a loud noise, and the phone suddenly disconnected.

My heart clenched, and I knew something was wrong. I was in shock. It was so loud…all of it was so loud. I had no idea what had happened, but my mind was quickly making educated guesses. The storm, the sound of tires on the ground, Nate’s scream…

Before I could stop myself, I threw up on the side of the bed in the bucket Nate had stored there for me.

I heard nothing on the other end except the dead ringing of the disconnected line. 

Despite no one being on the other end, I screamed into the phone, praying it was a lost signal and he’d come back. "Nate?! NATE!" 

Only he didn’t, and he wouldn’t.

Suddenly, a crying baby could be heard through the phone line and my panic returned tenfold.
