"I'm almost there baby," Axton says and I close my eyes, but all I see is her lifeless body.
The elevator opens and he walks out , rushing to me and wrapping his arms around me. I take in his warmth and embrace. I calm down a little, but the image is still in my head.
"What happened?" he asks, still holding me.
"Mom- mom is dead Axton!" I break down again.
"What?" he asks and I shake my head.
"Are you sure?" he asks and I nod.
"Where-" I cut him off.
"My apartment,our- the freaking apartment Axton." I sob, fisting his shirt in my hand. He tries to go but I pull him back.
"No, Axton don't leave me please." I beg him, hoping he'll hold me, probably forever.
"I'm not going anywhere." He takes out his phone and calls the police station.
"I think we should go downstairs." he says and I merely shake my head.
He picks me up, bridal style and walks into the elevator.
She's dead.
I break down in his arms. But he holds me tighter as the elevator takes us down the floors.
We exit the elevator as the girl at the front desk, run up to us.
"I heard you scream, but the camera footage was off," she says but all I can think about is her on the floor. Axton speaks to her as I sob, not taking part in the conversation.
---
"My baby!" Amyra runs to me and pulls me into a hug. I start crying as she hugs me. The police were upstairs, Jace was upstairs with Axton and the investigation crew.

"It's gonna be okay, I promise." she kisses my forehead.
My phone rings and I pick it up, but I start crying, what the fuck?
Why is her name flashing over my screen?
"What's wrong? Fuck! What happened babe?" Axton asks me, pulling me into his arms.
"I-" I lift the phone up and Axton's eyebrows raise.
"Isn't she dead?" he asks and I try not to cry but fail.
"Fuck! Baby I'm sorry-"
"Soph!" Jace calls my name but as soon as he does, my mother walks through the glass doors of my building.
I let out a scream because I don't fucking understand what's going on.
"Axton I'm going mad!" I yell, dropping to the floor, holding my head because everything is spinning.
"I- baby you're not! Fuck I hate seeing you like this, come on get up my love, you're stronger than this." he kneels on the floor and stands me up. I look at, I don't know what the fuck I'm looking at!
"What's wrong?" Whatever that is says.
"It- she- Ugh! It talks!" I scream and Axton bites back a smile.
"This is not funny!" I yell, loosing my mind all over again.
"It kind of is, but pretty serious too." Jace says.
"Whoever that is upstairs, isn't Kimberly, obviously, she's there." he points to her.
"The person upstairs is her lookalike." he says.
"So mom's not dead?" I ask, standing behind Axton, fisting his shirt in my hand.
"Dead? Darling I'm right here." She's alive. She's okay. I finally breathe and feel relived.
I run into her arms.
"I-I thought you were dead." I say, crying because I'm so glad she's okay.

"Now why would you think that?" she asks, rubbing my back.
"The dead woman that looks just like you upstairs," Jace says and I see Axton glare at him.
"Why is there-" She asks but Jace cuts her off.
"There was a note. It said you owe me a lifetime of love." Why would someone tell me that?
"Whoever did this mixed Sophia and Kimberly up. Wrong Rivera woman." Axton says, pulling me away from my mom and wrapping his arms around me.
"The message was directed to K. Rivera." Oh. Not me. Thank you Lord.
"Then why's it at my apartment?" I ask
"Mixed up baby, keep up." Axton kisses my cheek as I pout, this shit got me dumb. My eyes drop to Axton's watch, I have a fashion show to go to.
"I have to get ready for the show- Are they finish up there?" I turn to Axton and he shakes his head.
"We're not staying here, we're moving to our condo." he tells me and I flash him a small smile, I didn't want to stay here. I really don't feel like seeing anyone, other than the man that has his hands around me.
"Soph and I are gonna leave," Axton says and I almost scream because he knows me so well.
"We'll see you two tonight."
"Bye."
"Bye guys." We walk out the building and walk to Axton's car.
I don't say anything, I'm too exhausted to talk. He opens the car door and I get in, and immediately lean against the window.
"You okay Soph?" he asks and I turn to him.
"Kiss me." I mumble and he grins before crashing his lips onto mines. I smile against his lips.
"Ready to move in with me?" he smirks and I chuckle.
"Always been." I kiss his cheek before leaning in my seat. He pulls the seatbelt over me.
"I can do it-"
"Sophia you forget that shit exists." He's right. I roll my eyes leaning on the window as he rests his hand on my thigh.
"Did that really just happen?" I ask him and he looks at me, I know that look.
"Permission to laugh granted." I roll my eyes and he starts laughing.
"You thought a ghost was calling you huh baby?" I look away trying to not smile.
"Ha-ha, very funny Axton."
"Don't worry babe, the only thing haunting you is me, which I sure you don't mind." he winks, cocky cute asshole.
"Axton shut up and get us home please." I tell him and we both look at each other.
"We're really moving in together." I laugh.
"It's like a dream." I tell him.
"Every minute with you feels like a dream and I don't ever wanna wake up." he mumbles and I couldn't help but blush.
"Is my pretty girl blushing?" he asks me and I smile even more.
"Shut up and drive." I tell him.
"Yes ma'am, I love you." he kisses my cheek.
"I love you too." He interlocks our fingers, then turns his gaze on the streets.
