Taking a shuddering breath, Ele felt tears spring to her eyes as her thoughts of staying in the city stilled and images of a life with Tyler took their place,
"I'm sorry, I just had to know. I love you so much Tyler, I can't imagine life without you now."
Wiping her eyes as hurried footsteps came up the stairs below her, Ele sniffled,
"What Eric said scared me, I could only think... Hey!"
There was a scuffle over the phone, and Ele's panicked voice rose incoherently, a man's voice said something, then the phone went dead.
Ele was screaming as Tony grabbed her, the two of them fighting in the stairwell, Ele's phone laid shattered on the landing below. With a grunt, Tony lifted Ele who screamed again, this time the two of them fell backwards, tumbling down the flight of stairs.
The last thing Ele thought was of Tyler, and how she would miss him so much.
