i see the girl that i fired the other day standing near my door banging on it.

"i fired you. why are you here?" i ask

"why are you acting like this billie? you know you want me" she smirks

"absolutely not" i shake my head

"your wife didn't want to open the door for me" she say

"where the fuck is security?" i ask myself

"oh them? they left" she laugh

"what?"

"they are being held hostage. when aaliyah called it was my partner that's helping me" she smiles

"you're so fucking weird. get out or i swear i'll call the cops"

"hmmm....try" she smirks

i pull out my phone and dial 911 just as i was about to press the call button she knocks the phone out my hand.

i punch her in her face and run to my office door. "aaliyah open the door" i say

the door opens quickly and she pulls me in and close the door.

"mommmyyy" i hear before tiny hands wrap around my leg

i look down seeing kourtney and i pick her up. "hiii" i say smiling

aaliyah looks over at me with a look that says 'explain'.

"it's a lot. we need to call the cops" i say

"your receptionist just be sending everyone up here without checking with you" she say rolling her eyes

i put kourtney down and she runs over to my desk and sit down in my chair.

"ugh i just want this to be over with" i roll my eyes

"who even is that?"

"that lady i fired a week ago" i say

"yeah but why did you fire her?" she asks

"she was saying stuff that was a lie and i didn't want cheating rumors to be spread of me when i never even seen her a day in my life until then" i say

"can i fight her?" she asks

"no! i need to call the police" i say

"you're no fun" she roll her eyes "let me beat her up before you call"

"beat her bitch" kourtney say before throwing her toy car across my desk

"kourtney that's a bad word"

"mommy i can say whatever i want" she roll her eyes at aaliyah

aaliyah turns to me with her jaw dropped. "oh my god" she say

"me personally-"

"shut up billie" she say

"yes ma'am" i smile

i go to the phone on my desk and call 911. after the phone call i begin looking through my files.

i need to know her name. i get to it and the name 'rye mitchell' is there along with a picture of her.

that name sounds familiar. rye? rye...rye...rye...

wait hold up...

"does the name rye sounds familiar?" i ask aaliyah

"that's the name on the note that had you throw stuff at me" she say

i stopped breathing for a minute before realizing. "what's wrong?" aaliyah asks looking at me

"i-that woman is the one who sent it" i say

"what the fuck!" she say "how do she know our address?"

"she planned it...she had to have had connections" i say

"eve" aaliyah say quickly

"eve doesn't know our address she's in jail remember" i say

"who's eve?" kourtney asks

"no one" aaliyah tells her

suddenly aaliyah opens the door and rye is standing there smiling.

aaliyah smirks before suddenly the sound of heavy footsteps comes from the stairs. a group of policemen see her and immediately say "hands behind your back now"

"bye bye" aaliyah tells her before closing the door

how did she know they were right there? do she have super powers?

i finally get home after getting asked many questions about rye.

i look over at the couch seeing aaliyah and kourtney both knocked out sleep.

i head upstairs and take off my clothes before getting in the shower.

as i'm washing my body i randomly thinking about my glasses. i left them at finneas house. i'll just get it tomorrow.

after my shower and my night routine i head downstairs.

i pick up kourtney and carry her to her room. i place her in her bed before going back downstairs.

i press a kiss against aaliyah's cheek and that doesn't wake her up. i shake her and she just wrap her arms around my waist pulling me closer.

"baby wake up" i say

"i'm fine here" she say

what she doesn't know is i can barely sleep without her in bed next to me. "get your ass up" i say

she doesn't move and i grab her the best i could. she wrap her legs around my waist as i carry her upstairs.

once i get in our room i throw her onto the bed. "ow" she say

"you should've listened the first time i told you to get up" i say

she roll her eyes at me before getting under the covers.i get under the covers and wrap my arm around her.

"goodnight" i say

"goodnight billie" she say

i smile before closing my eyes.

i'm outside in the dark watching the glasses burn on fire.

suddenly i hear the back door slide open. "what are you doing? it's late"

"just started a fire. it was the perfect time for one" i say

"it's 3am" he say

i turn around to face him. "yes. i'm aware. put out the fire for me please" i say walking past him into the house
