Flashback Sara's POV
"Hello," I called hear Avar's voice from the other side of the phone. "Hey Avar, it's from the hospital. You are in big trouble. If you don't come, Sara is going to die," she said. I'm in her conference room, and the phone is on speaker.
Her guys are standing next to me, each guard on one side, gun in hand. Even though I want to scream; I need to keep quiet or else they will shoot me. "What? No, no this, I.. I will be there," she says before she hangs up the phone.
"I'm not going to hurt her," I spit saying it to her. She's no one other than Julia, my mother who's Jason's brother. Jason is the most fearless mafia ever, and unfortunately, my uncle is in jail now.
"Ok let's go," Julia said grab me forcefully. "You are going to do what you've been asked for," she slapped me across my face. "Ow," I screamed.
Julia has made a new plan for distorting her. All I need to do is to make Avar leave as fast as possible. I call 9_1_1, and I tell them that they need to come here, or else Avar will die. It wasn't a difficult task to do. Surely it was a dangerous move. Before long some police officer come, but they are quite as I asked them to be
"She was found in the back of a white van. She was unconscious. We were in the street checking the speed cars when the van came. The van was driving fast. So fast. Someone put her in that van. They seem like want to kill her," one of the cops tells Avar as I told them to.
She gets into the room. I am in bed. IV in my hand. Julia actually hit me up with different objects before we arrive here, so it would be plausible.
"What happened," she asked me with a shaky voice. "I don't know," I said. My voice, flat. "Tell me what you remembered," she said holding my hand tenderly. Only if you knew. I started to lie. "I just finished college, and I decided to walk home," I stop, and start cry. It was meant to be fake, but it was real. I really did want to end things. I loved her. "I am sorry, you told me it would be dangerous when some people know that we're together. You told me that I need to drive to college and drive home," I add stopping again. "There was a van, three masked people came out of it and get me inside. They hurt me like a doll. Then they speed the van. I wanted to go for a run, but I couldn't. They hold me tight put some tape on my mouth. They inject something in me that I don't know what was it, but it made me sleep," I said taking a shaky breath. Not because of the story, but because I had to lie to one person who I actually like.
"I can't keep it up," I said looking at her. This is now or never. I shouldn't keep her here for a long time. Even though I really want to. "But?" She starts, and I cut her off. "no but. Please leave." I said avoiding eye contact. "Is that what you really want Sara?" I look at the door. "We are a mistake. Please leave and don't come to me again. We are over," I say simply. "This is for the best," I replied. "I guess. This is for the best," she repeats quietly before she leaves the room. We actually broke up. It hurts, but I did it for her own safety. Not mine.
"Where is she?" Julia asks once she gets inside. "We broke up," I reply not looking at her. "Ok, so you didn't keep her till I come," she states. "I'm not going to be the reason for her death," I tell her seriously. "You listen to me. You are going to kill her yourself. Yea that is your punishment," Julia says devilishly. She knows about my feelings about her! I swear. "And if I don't?" I challenge her. "I kill you," she informs me darkly. "No, I won't," I replied. "If not I will kill you daughter or not," she said. "Now take off the IV in your hand. We all know you are ok," she adds emotionless before she leaves the room.
___
It's been a day or so that I broke up with Avar. To be honest, I miss her. I feel like I'm a horrible person. I shouldn't have broken up with her.
There's a knock on the door. I know it's Julia. What does she want now? "Come in," I said with a sigh. "You are going to kill Avar," she tells me once she opens the door. "Close the door," I say. I don't want anyone to hear this conversation. "You are going to kill Avar, Sara this is serious. It's a request from the boss. Don't you dare to mess up this one or else I will kill you," she says. I prefer to die rather than kill Avar. "Who's order is this," I ask. "Jason. She and her brother visited him and Jess in the jail," she replies. No way, my eyes are open wide.
Suddenly she grabs my arm and takes me to her car. What is on her mind? We get into the car. She on the driver's seat, me on the passenger's seat. "Open the dashboard," she orders. "You are not my boss," I reply looking out the window. "Hell, I am. Now, do as I said," I didn't move a muscle. "Ok, fine," she said before she opens the dashboard herself and put a knife in my hand. The knife is a special knife to kill people. "What, you gotta kill me now?" I said while chuckling. "No, but you are going to kill her, or else I will kill you," she said before she closes my hand to a fist.
Soon she parks near Avar's place. "You have no other choice," she said before getting out of the car. "Make the smart move," she said while taking me out of her car forcefully. "How do you know I won't kill you?" I ask boldly. "You won't because I am your mom," she says. All she does is hurt me. What kind of mother does that? I stand next to Avar's place, waiting for her to come home.
"Sara!"
She calls me once they get here
She seems happy to see me. This makes everything harder for me. Max doesn't talk; he goes inside her place right away.
I look at Avar with a smirk on my face.
Ok here is what I will do. I'm not going to hurt her. Even though it may be suicide. I have no idea what she's thinking about right now. Avar is anything but naive. Her face is blank. She doesn't even know that I have been ordered to kill her. "I guess you really shouldn't trust anyone," I said keeping my smirk on," I tell her. "What do you mean?" She asks me. "I don't know," I answer. As I remember I don't have much time, and I need to kill her, the smirk on my face vanishes and guilt covers my whole. "What's wrong?" She asked quietly. "I don't know what I am doing here," I reply. Who am I? The more I think about it the less I want to kill her. "who am I?" I ask myself confused and sadly. I wince as I realized that I just asked that out loud.
"When did you get here?" Looking at me, Avar asks.
"I don't know," I say, and honestly I meant it.
"How did you get here?" She asks. She's a detective, but this time is different. This time she is the victim.
"I drove here," I answered looking at the ground. I can't even look at her. "Then where is your car? You are lying. Someone drove you here!" She tells me seriously. "Can I come inside? Breaking up with you was the worst thing I ever did to you," I said looking at her with hopeful voice and eyes. I need to tell her everything, but not outdoors Julia might be hearing. You never know where she actually is. "No," she replies closing the door which was still open from when Max went inside. "Let's sit here in the back garden," she adds whilst leading me to a chair.
She sits on one of the chairs, and I sit on another one.
In the back yard, There are two white, plastic chairs and one round table in the middle.
"Ok, you are here to talk. Let's talk!" She said calmly waiting for me to start. I'm quiet for a while before I remember that I don't have all the time. "I don't know what is happening to me," I say looking guilty. "You know I love you. I always have," I tell her. I am really trying to let her know that I need to talk to her inside because out here nothing is actually private.
It's quiet for a while both Avar and I are looking at each other waiting. I don't know what to tell her. I was assigned to kill you with this knife that is in my fist, but I love you. I shake my head "I can't do this," I suddenly say while getting up, but before I do anything, she holds my hand.
"What do you have in your hand?" She asks me sternly. Uh oh, she knows something is up. I'm not as clever as she is. "Nothing," I reply while rolling my eyes. She rolls her eyes at me too. "You know I think you need to prove that there's nothing in your hand," she said seriously before she squeezes my fist hand a little. "Ow!" I whine painfully.
"I can't hurt you. I'm not a murderer!" I say to her. It's true, my mom is making me kill her because I didn't let her kill Avar. She raises an eyebrow. "Well, I mean I can't hurt you anymore," I add, emphasizing anymore. She makes a confused face.
