Kill or be killed

He's here.

Monday.
A day I might not move on from.
All the hope I had.
Slowly fading away. 

Our plan was in place but I wasn't, Hunter kept telling me it's going to be fine. Was it?
Fuck no.

"Veronica, you ready".
Hunter shouted from the door.

"Yeh give me a sec".
I put my jacket on and went outside.

"Take Rose away from here.  if I don't make it, you know what to do".

He sighed cupping my face.

"I will not let you go. Not without putting a fight. We all have hope. I know this is hard for you.
But we have our team everywhere".
He assured me.

I still don't have that much hope.
I fucking freaking out.

Everyone is where they should be.
Now it's my turn.

I went onto the stairs, sitting down on it. Waiting for the Devil to arrive.

Deep breaths Veronica.
It's just one man.....with a huge army wanting me dead.

Now is not the time to break down.
I need to show him that no one can mess with me.

I sat their for a while wondering if he's even coming.

There is no proof of him coming. Well fuck.
This was all a lie.
I laughed out loud, how stupid am I?

"Veronica...".

I quickly snapped out of my thoughts, and my face dropped.

That voice.

My heart started beating fast, and my palms got sweaty.

My body's shaking. This isn't good. Stop fucking shaking.

"Why don't you come down here....".

He hasn't changed.

I was on the second level so he can't see me and neither can I till I go down.

I heard two knocks from upstairs which means I should go.

I slowly made my way downstairs. Whimpering.
Shaking.
My legs won't even move properly.

I was on the ground floor stairs in the middle... that's when we made eye contact.

A devilish grin approached his face.
I gulped and put myself together.

"Did you miss me."
He said getting closer, while I moved back on the stairs. He stopped and chuckled, knowing that I don't want to be near him.

"Oh come on now. It's been so long. Come down here and I'll show you how long".
He said with his hands behind his back
"If you come down here. I'll spare your and Hunters entire Mafia.
Just remember, I'm bigger and better".

I'm so...so fucking sick of everyone trying to take me down.

He will regret it.
So will I.

"FIRE".
I shouted which caused him to snap his neck around.

From my left and right, a few of mine and Hunters team came down with guns shooting at the others who were behind him.  

He grinned at me moving out of the way.

I just stood their. Like an idiot.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and pull me back.
Hunter.

"Sanchez got shot. There are more of his men upstairs. They are everywhere".
He said close to my ear because of the loud shooting sounds.

Sanchez. No.
"Where is he. Take me to him.
NOW".

He nodded and led me to the room where Brittany was taking the bullet out of his arm.
Thank God.
I know he'll survive that.

He smiled when he saw me, and got up.

"Veronica. Let me get you out of here. Please".

Hunter said holding on to my hand.
"No. I'm not going to abandon my Mafia.
Leo would have never done that".

Leo. I need him.
Without him I'm just empty.

The door broke open but before they could shoot Hunter shot them.
"Fine. If you won't go. Let me hide you".

Doesn't this man understand.
"Hunter. They won't leave until they have me. We need to use our plan. It's the only way".

He went around and kicked over the draw.

"NO VERONICA. NO. IM NOT LOOSING YOU".
He shouted throwing things around.

Breath.

He sat on the bed with his face rested on his palms.

I went and sat next to him.
He needs me.
I need him.

"Hunter. No matter what happens.
You will never loose me. A-and if you ever do, just know how much I'll miss you".
My eyes started getting watery, while I tried to calm my self down.

"I-I....i love you Veronica".
