The Eighty Nine's leader. My Lover.

Chapter 30.

I got out of the bathroom and there was noise coming from downstairs, I brushed my face and smiled. Jace actually listened for once. I put on a bra and sweatpants, lesson learnt: never leave the bedroom in undies, I walked down the stairs, taking it one step at a time. The steps aren't for me.

"Jace is that you?".Nothing."Babe!".

Everytime I call him that I feel weird, I've never had someone to call that before. I smiled and walked to the kitchen where a man was just sitting on the counter chair drinking tea like he owns the place.

"Can I help you sir? How did you even get in here?".

"We're going for a ride, sweetheart".

"I don't think so".

"I wasn't asking you".He said getting off the chair.

I moved back."My husband will kill you if you even think about touching me".

"Jason? Oh but he's not here though, is he?".

I swallowed hard, lie."He's on his way back and if he finds you here...".

He took two more steps forward and I ran back up the stairs which was stupid, he held me by the back of my neck pulling me down the first staircase. He will hurt me if I don't do something, he pushed me to the counter, my stomach preventing me from hitting my face, I stopped and he came at me, I swung the cup once hitting him on the head, he fell down. I jumped him and walked up the stairs, he groaned getting up.

The door wouldn't lock, I left it like that and I ran for the gun on the bed before I could even turn around and point it at him, he pulled me back by my neck sending me flying to the door, I hit my head but I still got up. I can't stay down, if I do he will kill us. I need to protect her. I ran out the gun still in my hand, I walked down the stairs, making sure I don't trip and fall. He jumped down the steps landing right infront of me.

I stopped and pointed my gun at him, he also stopped coming at me, I will shoot him if I have to. I have to shoot him or he won't stop, he will kill us, he had a smile on his face as if he could hear my thoughts. If I shoot him, I have to make sure he stays down for good, I can't miss. Focus Hazel, focus. If he moves, shoot.

I slowly walked past him, gun still pointed at him, he was still smiling, I walked backwards, taking my time, if I fall, it's game over. This is not a game, obviously. I got to the door and pulled the handle, nothing, I changed hands, holding the gun with my left hand, then pulling down the handle with my right, still nothing.

He smiled lifting up his hand and opening it, holding the keys, he jiggled them, I took a deep breath, I can't take the keys without putting the gun away, obviously. Where the fuck is Jace and what's taking him so long? I felt my cheeks getting wet, I am crying. And I just pulled the trigger. Nothing.

He smiled even wider walking up to me."The safety".

I threw the gun at him, he ducked and I ran past him and once again he pulled me back by my neck throwing me on the room divider we both fell, it broke hurting my cheek, I got up and he pulled me by my neck to the kitchen and pushed my face against the counter. He pulled the cutlery drawer picking out a knife sending the rest flying to the floor. He pressed it against my neck.

"Try something like that again and you're dead".

And obviously I didn't listen, if he was going to kill me, he would have done it by now and besides, I'd rather die here than somewhere where no one will find me. If he kills me now, it'll be for the best, Jace will find me and he will give us a proper burial. And if I keep fighting, that buys us time. So I kept fighting.

He ended up cutting himself on the arm and he wasn't thrilled, he slapped me a couple of times, splitting my lower lip, I just looked him straight in the eyes. What kind of a man is he anyway? Not only am I a woman, I'm a pregnant woman. I held my stomach with both my hands, protecting her. He punched me and the lights went out.
