Flower He Couldn't Pluck

CHAPTER 61

THIRD PERSON'S POV

He watches her falling down unconsciously. Blood pouring out of her head puddles around her body. King clenches his jaw, cursing himself mentally.

"I told you to go away. Fuck-" He mumbles, running his hand through his hair. 

He shot Hannah. He walked towards her and took the gun out of her hand.

"What was that?" He hears Tyler's voice from a distance. Looking up at the grille of the upper floor, King glances at Tyler's eyes going wide at the sight. A tight blow hits him as he finds the moon of his life lying above the pool of her blood. Tears form in his eyes as his lips part involuntarily, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

He was mad at her, yes. He was angry and disappointed in her, yes. But he still had hope left in him that one day Hannah would come back to him. He still believed that she'd see for herself the love he held for her in his heart. She would hug him again, kiss him again and would apologise only to hear 'Kiss me instead' again. 

King took away that ray of hope from him. He never meant to kill her but blamed her for her death. She provoked him, he told her to leave but she didn't.

He couldn't see his obsession for Rose fostering by each day, until now. His hands are covered in her blood, he pulled the trigger.

A montage of his life attacks Tyler, he contemplates all the days and nights he spent with Hannah. Everything around him disappeared, he could feel his heartbeat slowing down. Everything surrounding him slows down and he glimpses at Hannah leaving him forever.

A sharp pain smashes his heart on the latter's vision of his. He won't be able to see her again, he won't be able to smile at her smile. She is gone forever. The person he loved more than anything in this life is never going to come back.

Tyler closes his eyes sharply before opening them again. His eyes are no longer reflecting the pain, it is anger and the greed of revenge. "You'll pay the same," He utters as his eyes dart from Hannah to King.

Tyler sprints and immediately closes the only door that leads to the entry and exit of the basement, "She is going to die too!" He shouts through the door. 

"NO! TYLER!" King hollers, "OPEN THE DOOR!!" He yells in frustration.

King knew what he meant, Rose wasn't safe anymore. "TYLER, I SWEAR IF YOU HURT HER I WILL KILL YOU!" He yells at the door, hoping Tyler is standing by and listening.

"TYLER!?"

"TYLER!!" But he is long gone.

Tyler storms inside King's bedroom, startling Rose. Her racing heartbeat calms down a little as she realises it's Tyler. Standing up immediately, she wobbles as King's clothes are too big on her.

"Wha- What was that noise, Ty-"

"We're leaving!" He rashly holds Rose's arm and drags her out. She feels the immense strike of pain in her arm as Tyler didn't care to be gentle. "What's happening?" She asks, feeling uneasy. Tyler has never been this angry and rough. He's always stayed calm in every situation no matter what.

Rose's eyes soften thinking if he is mad at what King did to her. "Tyler-"

"He killed Hannah." He yells mournfully, suppressing his rage. Rose gasps in shock, "He did wha...-"

"Wh- Why-"

"Because of you!" Tyler shuts her up venomously and Rose only looks at him in utmost shock. She couldn't believe it but part of her knew that King was capable of killing anyone. But Hannah died, King killed him and I'm to be blamed? She thinks.
