Where: Their shared apartment

When: August 24

In the midst of a deep sleep, Ellie was suddenly awoken by screams and the feeling of movement beside her. Opening her eyes and jolting awake, she turned to see Jordan, thrashing in his sleep, screams escaping his throat. She heard the dogs scarxtjong at the door, trying to get in to help, but she ignored them, instead turning her focus on her fiance who seemed to be in the middle of a nightmare. Adjusting so she was sitting on her knees, she said in a calming voice, "Hey, hey, shh it's okay," placing a hand on his arm. "Jordan, baby you're okay."

It wasn't often that Ziyad would take a call from an unknown number, especially during a business meeting, but as his phone had rung for the third time, a shiver had run down his spine and he had excused himself to answer it. The voice on the call had been calm, but the words he heard had sent him into full blown terror. He'd quickly told his assistant what was happening, trusting them to pass along the message before he took off, not even bothering to wait for the elevator and instead he ran down the stairs to the parking garage below the office building.

He didn't know if he was even allowed to park in the space he ended up pulling into, but as he sprinted into the hospital and got directed to the area his sister was in, he didn't care what kind of parking fines he got. They could tow his car for all he cared. "Hi, I got a call Nailah Abbas? I'm her brother, can I see her? Is she okay?" As the nurse checked the system, Ziyad turned around, wishing his heart would stop pounding as he waited to hear about his sister. As he turned to lean his back against the counter of the nurse's station, his brow furrowed at the familiar face opposite him. A familiar face that was used to the complete opposite of the pale face, hand shaking wreck he was at the moment.

"Jordan? What're you doing here? Are you alright?"
