Disclaimer: All characters belong to Janet Evanovich, I am just playing with them and I will give them back. This is my second (Whoo Hoo Go Me!) Fan Fiction, so please be gentle. I received such positive feedback from "Gone"; I'm going to try it again! I can't seem to right anything unless it rhymes – ha! – But I have a few ideas for longer stories. I am still having trouble with the format. Please, Please, Please, Please, Please Review whether you love it, hate it, or find any booboo's I need to fix. I cannot do anything better if I don't know I'm doing it wrong.
Author's Note: This one is significantly more dark and angst-y than "Gone" but stick with me and you'll get a HEA. Rating is from adult language, situations, and just to be safe. Okay. Now I am done rambling. Here we go again!
Stephanie's POV
Well, Hell Ranger.
I'm waiting for your call.
But it's just not coming,
And I'm staring at the wall.
It feels like years since you left.
But it's only been three days.
You said that when you returned,
You'd be mine always.
I cry myself asleep.
Waiting every night.
I know you'll come home,
And make everything alright.
Please, please forgive me.
I'm not as strong as you.
Without you next to me,
I don't know what to do.
They all attack at once.
They're trying to break me down.
I cannot seem to function,
When you're not around.
I hear a rattle at my door.
Fear runs down my spine.
I try to phone for help,
But someone's cut the line.
The rattle turns to crashing.
The fire door gives way.
My apartment has been breached,
And I cannot get away.
I turn my eyes so slowly.
As if I do not care.
And slowly they alight,
On the monster standing there.
