This Love

Chapter 39

"Or he might keep you for himself" 

I looked at Abel as he said that and a thought sprung in my head, I hope he kills me, there is no point trying or hoping, I will never get out of here, no one is coming to save me. I exhaled a breath I didn't know I was holding. I didn't reply Abel back, scared of what I might say. 

After a while I heard Abel's voice again, passing through the cloudiness in my mind.

"Its still strange how a girl like you could be with a guy like Carter, you don't seem his type."

"Why?" I asked. Why does he think me and Carter are something that can never happen.

"you're the kind of girl guys settle for and Carter isn't like that or maybe he is, maybe he wants to leave all of this behind and start anew with you. Ah if only it was this easy" said Abel with a laugh.

..........................

I will consider it luck. Rick didn't show up after a week, he send a message to Abel saying their boss had called him and he will be back in a week. I don't know why Abel told me that. Maybe because he wants me to rejoice my last week as an alive human or maybe because he wants me to give them the answer this time.

"What do you people do?" I found myself asking Abel today.

I know he isn't the kind of person who likes to have a conversation especially with me but this question has been eating me up alive and I might get an answer to it.

"Didn't Carter tell you?" He said raising his left eyebrow.

"No, I told you me and Carter are nothing, he doesn't tell me anything" I replied wishing he would believe me.

He didn't responded back, sitting with his back against the wall he was cleaning his knife. I wonder how many people this knife had killed, how many people's blood it has had on it and if I'm the next one.

"Is it really dangerous?" I said staring at the knife.

He stopped cleaning and looked up at me. His gaze fixing mine, trying to figure me out.

"If we get caught by police we're dead, if we get caught by our opponent worse than death. Do you call that dangerous?" He replied with a smile.

"How did Carter got caught up in all this?"

"It wasn't exactly him, it was his friend Drake who got caught up, badly" he replied.

"And Kaiden?"

"Kaiden? He started all this a long time ago. Him and me we started together." Said Abel, memories running wild in his eyes.

"Were you and him friends?" I asked carefully.

"He's a traitor, a clever manipulative traitor" spat Abel.

I didn't question him anymore.

"None of us is a good person, so stop finding it in us"

...........................

The door burst open and Rick walked in. To say he looked angry was an understatement. Abel scrambled to his feet and so did I.

"Where are the drugs?" Asked Rick directly. So opposed to the last time.

"I...I....I don't know.." I said with so much courage that for a moment I thought I might faint due to its after affects.

"I am not going to ask you a second time" said Rick taking out his knife.

I felt my tears run down my face, the seventeen years of my life running in front of my eyes.

Me sleeping in between dad and mom, the day twins were born, the first time I met Ally James, Millie running into my arms as she laughed, Mason and me doing our maths homework, Claud and the rest of my friends telling stories in the cafeteria. The first moment my eyes locked Carter William, the second moment our eyes found each other again, the ice cream, rainn that one hug.

"ANSWER ME" Shouted Rick stepping forward.

I lost my voice, I looked at Abel and saw the pity in his eyes for me.

In the blur of a moment, I felt the knife rip through my flesh. There was blood coming out of my right arm. I took in a deep breath, feeling the pain becoming unbearable.

"WHERE ARE THE DRUGS?"

"I don't know" I whispered as he attacked my left arm now.

I didn't remember collapsing on the ground, my vision becoming blurry. As tried to focus on breathing instead of the pain I heard shouts in the background. My eyes were closed and I didn't have the strength to open them.

I felt some rush to the window.

"Carter's here" said a voice, it was Abel.

Carter?

I tried to open my eyes and saw Rick standing in front of me, his gun out and pointing at me.

"I wish I had more fun with you sweet Eva" he said and there was a shot.

I didn't felt it, the bullet getting inside of me, I didn't felt myself lying down on the floor. I just heard the shoutings, there were more shots fired and I just remember a distant voice, a familiar, beautiful voice call out my name.

................................
