I was awoken by the sound of a car and I groaned while I looked over at the clock. 6 o'clock! Must be Dad, but so early?

I curiously stood up and I rushed over to my window; very suspiciously then I saw Ashton hopping out of his car.

What's wrong with his foot and why is he wearing a full suit of black?

I groaned as I shrugged it off; too tired to investigate the situation so I went back over to my bed. Few minutes later, I fell asleep...

There was a knock on the door and I groaned as the alarm started to ring at 7 o'clock. The door suddenly opened and I covered my face with my sheets as my intruder pulled the window curtains opened.

Sunlight filled my bedroom and my face so I groaned in frustration. I quickly sat up to see Ashton smiling at me and I rolled my eyes.

What the...?!

"Rise up my sunshine and brighten my day." He smiled at me and I threw a pillow at him but he dodged it.

"Ashton, get out of my face, my bedroom and my life, before I call the security guards on you!!" I snapped and he sighed.

"Your wish is my command Madam Ashley, but I can't just leave you alone because we're friends." He smiled as he picked up my pillow and he tossed it beside me. I glared at him and he did a royal bow then he chuckled before leaving my bedroom while hopping a bit on one side.

"Fucking Psychopath!" I said before I got up and I went to take a bath.

After a few minutes with my preparation for school, I went downstairs. I heard a bark and my eyes widen. Beauty! But why is she barking so wild and where has she been?

"Beauty, come here girl." I said when I saw her at the front door barking at Ashton.

She saw me and ran towards me with her tongue sticking out. I smiled as I ruffled her ears then she turned her attention back to Ashton and the barking started again.

Suspicious?

"What did you do to her?" I asked as I glared at him and he shrugged.

"Probably, she doesn't like me." He said as he closed the door and Justin came downstairs.

"Well nobody does." Justin said as he rolled his eyes while looking at his brand new phone.

Ashton chuckled.

"Good morning to you too, sir." Ashton said as he hopped away and we both stated at him.

I rolled my eyes.

"What is Beauty doing here?" Justin suddenly asked as he looked at Beauty and I shrugged.

"I haven't seen her in a while." I recalled.

"She was staying at Nick's place with Kim, his girlfriend but now Beauty is here with us. Ashley, I think something is wrong plus Kim is pregnant with Nick's unborn baby." He said as he stared at me while I tried to absorb of this information.

Pervy Nick is going to be a father? Wow, time really does change along with people! Well, I am happy for him and his girlfriend... Kim.

I didn't know what to say at this moment so I simply nodded. He tried calling someone but the person wasn't answering so he groans. He grabbed his car keys including my left hand so I held Beauty's dog collar.

"Let's go." He said and we all went into his car then Beauty started to bark nonstop again.

I sighed.

"Now, I know something is definitely wrong. She never behaves this way before." I said and he nodded as he drove out of the driveway.

"Where are we going? Did you call Nick?" I asked and he drove a bit faster.

"To Nick's place because he's not answering his phone nor his house phone." He informed me and I nodded.

What's wrong now?

******

He stopped before a house and we realized that the front door was broken down on the ground. We both rushed out of the car and we went inside the house. I saw a girl laying on the ground, unconsciously and there was a lot of blood below her big belly.

"Shit!" Justin said as he tested her pulse and he nodded.

I sighed in relief then I realized that everything was upside down with broken things. And suddenly, I saw Nick laying down on the stairs, unconsciously so I went over to him.

"Nick, wake up you big idiot!" I yelled in his ear and I shook his body as well then he groaned while blinking. He held his head up and he stared at me while he sat up.

"Ashley? What... Where's Kim? Is she alright?" Then the freaking out from this idiotic dude started as he literally shoved me out of the way.

I rolled my eyes when I was about to move, but suddenly I saw a small note on the stairway where Nick was laying. As Nick picked up the girl bride style, I quickly grabbed the note before Justin pulled me up, onto my feet.

I took Beauty and we all went to Justin's car. Nick and the unconscious girl were in the back seats while I was in the front with Beauty and Justin was driving. I shoved the note into my pocket as Justin drove to the hospital.

Who could have done this?

******

Kim gained consciousness and her water broke at the hospital which was just in time then she gave birth to a girl baby. They both named her after Nick's mother which died along time ago so the baby girl was named Sasha and she's so adorable.

Therefore, Nick was finally a father and he somehow has his own little family now. I still didn't look at the note yet because we all are still in the hospital room with the baby. Kim is actually a nice person and Nick really seems to love her which was obviously surprising to me.

"Ashley, this is Kim, my girlfriend. Kim, meet Ashley, Tyson's girlfriend." Nick said and we both nodded.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Do you want to hold her?" Kim asked me and I nodded. She smiled as she slowly handed me Sasha and I cooed as I carefully held her in my arms.

"She's so adorable and she even has Nick's eyes." I smiled as I touched her little fingers and they chuckled.

"So, do you guys know what happened?" Justin asked curiously and Nick sighed.

"Three guys came in full suit of black with face masks on in the early morning and they attacked us but I was the one who got all the beating, luckily. So I quickly reached for my gun and I shot one in the arm while Beauty bit one in the foot. Then I was knocked out by the other one but I didn't recognized any of them." Nick said with a sigh and we both slowly nodded.

"That's when Beauty must have escaped and came home to us." Justin said to me and I nodded.

"But what's the meaning of this? What did they want?" I asked curiously and they both shrugged. I sighed as I was about to think about it but the baby started to cry...

"The baby wants her mama." Justin chuckled at that point so I slowly handed her over to Kim and I smiled.

"I will be right back." I said before I went outside the room and I let out a deep breath as I stood in the busy hallway. I quickly took out the note and Beauty ran out beside me.

The note reads...

'Watch your back one and all because I am going to get all of you. Guess who's next? Let the games begins! Ha ha ha!'

Unknown

"Ashley, what's wrong? What's that?" Justin stood beside me and I sighed as I showed him the note then he reads it.

"I found it at Nick's place. Justin, I think there's trouble near and once again." I informed him and he groaned.

"When everyone just recovered from one? Here comes a next one? Like, what the fuck is going on these days?" Justin asked bluntly as he stared at me.

I sighed.

"This is the beginning of a new destruction again. I can't take these shits!" I groaned and he took out his phone.

"I am going to spread the news. Come on." Justin informed me and I sighed as I tried to stay calm.

This is like a game of rings and we have to win no matter what because it's just us against the world.

So let the game begins!
