Her Only Hope

CHAPTER 32

As I walked down the hallway with Chris and Carlos my heart was pounding uncontrollably. The music was blasting loudly and I couldn't help but to think about him.

His grey eyes looking at me once again, his well structured face and beautiful tattoos covering his neck, arms, and hands.

When I left with Elijah I couldn't help but to think about his arm bleeding because of me. His eyes filled with betrayal but somehow he stayed emotionless. I thought I wasn't going to see him again. I never had a plan on when I was going to return and that scared me.

But now, I am going to be face to face with him, not knowing what will happen in just a few seconds.

As we entered everyone kept dancing and some fighting in the ring. When not even two seconds later someone fired their gun.

Screams were heard and gunshots were being fired.

Carlos took my arm and moved me behind the wall where I couldn't be shot. "What the fuck is going on? Elijah said until this weekend why is he-

"Change of plans." Chris says. They both pull out their guns and Carlos gives me one.

"Why is the Black Skulls leader here?" Chris asks.

"He came with Elijah. I think they both knew about this."

After his words were said I never would have realized that Jason will be helping Elijah. I looked just for a second and Elijah shot a few men and Jason was nowhere to be seen.

Even if men started shooting people I had the courage of walking towards Elijah. Women kept running and a few men started picking them up.

A part of me wanted to shoot them and save the girls but I couldn't. The crowd became bigger and I took the chance to shoot a man making the girl he kept on his arms run away.

A few seconds later I thought about the twins.

"Marcus." I said. I ran behind the bar looking around for him and his brother. I opened the door which led outside and I could see them running away.

Before I could turn around someone grabbed me by the waist holding me against the wall.

His grey eyes kept me in place. My body became stiff as his body stayed pressed against mine.

"What are you doing here?" I said. Gunshots were still being fired but part of my mind zoomed out just thinking about him.

"Helping you." His deep voice made me feel butterflies all over my body.

"You can't." I said. His hand stayed on my waist and I could feel his thumb caressing my back under my shirt. "Jason you have to get out of here."

"I can't." He says. My mind couldn't think straight. What does he mean?

"We have to go." His hand grabbed my arm softly but stayed firm. We walked out and I could only see men on the ground and women being taken by others.

"Don't touch me!" One of the girls kept screaming at the man, carrying her roughly.

My arm moved from Jason's hold but before I could shoot the men to save her Jason took my gun again.

"This will ruin your plan." My eyes looked at him shockingly. How the fuck does he know?

He grabbed my hand and took me towards the end of the bar to stay away from this catastrophe. "Stay here."

"I can't just stay here and let people die!" I screamed.

"Elijah will see you helping the others and everything will get worse."

"How do you know about all of this." After what I said his jaw clenched.
