Can you stop crying? You are annoying. She wipe her tears. I am sorry. Her voice came up, Tony realize he has hurt her too much.

He hugged her.

Beans pie, I am sorry, it's just that I don't like Craig, I don't want to see him around you, you know Craig hate me and he has promised to get what I love the most and you know that you are the most precious thing to me.

Craig does not care about you, he just wants you to leave me, so he can hurt me.

It's okay, let me get you what to eat.

No, I don't want to eat those poor food of yours.

No, we will soon be there and please don't go to his room.

Fine, I will not. He end the call, Gregory drive, he try to be fast but he is damn slow, Cathy cry beside Tony who is busy sleeping, he is tired for the stress.

When the stress is too much, she just couldn't breath.

What is going on? Why is she not waking up? Craig asked in frustration.

Can you stop worrying about her like she is your girlfriend. Tony spoke in anger

You don't need to remind me that she prefers you but you can't stop me from loving her from away

Whitney's eyes bulge out, he reach for Tony's freezer and get water, he realized that he has spill the beans. Whitney tears stop seeing the worry on his face.
