As I walked down my hotel hallway, I saw my room door wide open with my very few belongings scattered everywhere. My pillows and mattress was off the bed with the lamps and decorations broken on floor. Glass crunched into the carpet under high heels as I walked around slowly in complete shock and fear. I saw that most of my guns and knives of my own were missing and the weapons that came with the room where completely gone. Of course.
"Genevieve." Someone breathed behind me making me turn around quickly. I let go of a breath as I saw Nathan walking towards me slowly as if I was a ticking bomb. "What are you doing here?" I spit in slight annoyance not wanting to deal with our mess right now. I needed to pack up the remaining possessions I had left and get Rose before they do.
"I need to help you. I can't let you leave to deal with this yourself. I'm responsible for this." He said motioning around the room slightly. "No, you're not I am. I let... curiously get in the way of my work." I replied looking away running my fingers through my messy dark brown hair.
Rushing towards my bed to grab my duffle bags underneath before shoving my things inside from off the floor. "There has to be something else we can do?" He asked making me scoff. "We?" I said moving frantically around the room grabbing my things. "Why should I when I can just stick to what I'm good at? Running. I've erased myself before I can do it again." I stated standing looking up to him with my bag. I've lost count of all the fake identities I've had throughout the years.
Looking away from him to drop my things before taking off my coat changing out of my bloody clothes not caring about Nathan standing there. I quickly threw on a black tee shirt as I spoke. "They won't stop until I'm dead. That's how this works. I must leave." I said moving past him after taking off my pencil skirt to grab a pair of leggings.
Grabbing my last two guns shoving one in my waistband and shoved the rest in my bag. "So, that's it then." Nathan said as I began to leave. Stopping in place to turn around looking him in the eye. I memorized his features as he looked at me masking his confusion and hurt.
"Get more security. He won't stop before he kills you for whatever you did to piss him off." I said making him frown. I hated how closed off and callous I was being, but I couldn't let him care enough about me to continue trying to help me. There was no use. "I'm sorry. Genuinely." I stepped closer to him making him do the same.
"Goodbye, Nathan." I said seriously looking at him as we stood far apart as I stood in the doorway. I ignored the ache in my chest as I looked away to turn and rush down the hallway. As I pressed the elevator button for the ground floor, I saw Nathan leaving my hotel room before the doors closed.
After taking a cab to my brother's house, I rushed up to his front door with the cab waiting with my bags before knocked at the door. It took a few minutes before he finally opened it obvious, he had been sleeping.
"Gen? What are you doing here?" Nick asked squinting making me realize how late it was. "I'm here for Rose." I said making him part his lips confused. "What?" He asked making me fill with anxiety and impatience. "I-I thought about what you said." I began as I pushed past him to come inside. "About getting a stable job and buying a home to settle down." I continued as he closed the door behind me. "At two in the morning? You couldn't have waited until later?" Nick asked looking down at me as if I had grown a second head.
"Please, Nick." I begged looking up at him. There was a moment of silence as he looked down at me with sadness through his confusion before we heard Stephanie. "Gen?" She asked coming down the stairs holding her arms to preserve heat. "What are you doing here?" Stephanie asked walking towards Nick making me look over at him ignoring her.
"I'm here for Rose. I have a cab waiting." I said anxiously wanting to hurry. "What? In the middle of the night?" She asked making Nick walk closer to her to calm her down. "She's, my daughter. I shouldn't need to explain myself." I beamed with tears in my eyes making her scoff.
