Chapter Fourteen

The day has finally come. Rue was prepared to pull through with her plan. She waited for her breakfast to be brought in along with her prenatal gummies.

BOOM!!

Rue was startled by the loud noise. She heard a loud commotion coming from the other side of the door. It was the sound of people fighting. "Rue?! Rue, where are you?!"

"Hey! I'm in here!" Rue shouted as she banged her hand against the door. Rue then stepped back as she saw the doorknob moving. The door then opened there stood Christian.

Christian pulled her into a hug and she hugged him back. Shorty, they pulled away. "How did you know I was here? How did you find me?" Rue asked. "Long story, I'll tell you when we safely leave here, "Christian replied. He grabbed Rue's hand and started to lead her out. They made it to the main floor when they stubbled across Xavier, Michelle, and Kristy on the floor with their hands held up.

Christian looked to see the one holding the gun was his mother.

"How are you alive? I thought I killed you!" Xavier shouts. Christian's mother chuckled, "That woman you killed was my twin sister!"

Rue watched everything as everything spilled out. Christian releases Rue's hand and approaches his mother. "Mom, give me the gun. Take Rue and get out of here. Don't become like him," Christian said. He looked at his mother's face and saw her tears of pain and heartache.

She reluctantly hands the gun to Christian and walks out with Rue. Now it was Christian, Xavier, Michelle, and Kristy left.

Christian pointed the gun at his father. "I've been waiting for this day for years," Christian says. "Christian, my son. Let's say you take your revenge, then what? You repair your broken family and live happily ever after," Xavier says.

"I told you not to call me that! Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now?" Christian said. "Because I didn't bother and ruin your marriage and kill you're unborn child like they did," Xavier explained.

"It wasn't me. Kristy planned everything," Michelle said blaming Kristy. "I did not. Christian I know what I did was wrong and unforgivable but you have another chance," Kristy explained.

Another chance?

"What are you talking about?" he asked. Kristy was about to explain when Xavier beat her to it. "Rue is carrying your child."

"What?"

A hand grabs the gun from Christian. He turns to see Rue. She then aims and pulls the trigger killing Michelle. She then shoots Xavier in his leg causing him to groan in pain.

"How does losing something so precious and meaningful to you feel?" Rue asked Kristy. Christian saw Rue's eyes filled with tears. Her hands started to shake. Christian reached his hand out and touched hers. She flinched and looked at him. He motioned for her to hand him the gun. Rue let go of the gun, giving it back to Christian. 

Christian moved Rue behind him. Xavier groaned around the ground as blood soaked his clothes. "I need you to leave and don't come back in here," Christian whispered to Rue. She was hesitant but started to leave. "Christian, please don't kill me. I understand and I'm sorry but I haven't done anything," Kristy started to beg. He looked at Kristy's tears falling from her eyes. 

Christian started to laugh at the two. He laughed so hard at the current situation. He felt insane. Kristy stared at Christian in horror. "Can you stop your pleading and crying and shut the fuck up!"

"I can't kill you like I wanted because I promised Rue that I wouldn't become like you," Christian said bringing the gun down. "You are weak! You've become weak like your mother!" Xavier shouts. Christian glared towards him and rushed towards him being close to his face. "If we are so weak like you said then why are you on the floor?"

Christian scoffed and stood up walking away. Xavier called for him but Christian never looked back. Christian walked out the front doors and saw his mother and Rue waiting for him alone with his team. Everybody was relieved and soon the police arrived on the scene. Christian's team took care of the dead body before the police arrived. Michelle's body disappeared. Kristy took the money and ran as for Xavier he was arrested for killing Tara. 

It seemed everything was turning around except Christian and Rue. Christian looked towards Rue as everybody was in the commotion. He needed to talk to her and explain everything. Hours later after the situation was settled, everyone went home except for Christian and Rue. Christian walked up to Rue as she faced him.  "Are you okay?" he asked her. 

"I don't know how to feel or anything after all this?" Rue admitted as she placed her arms around her body shivering from the cold. Christian took notice of it and removed his coat and placed it around her. She was about to refuse but he insisted. The two stared at each other with a longing look. "I think I should head home," Rue said. "After what happened tonight I think you shouldn't be alone," Christian said. 

Before she could even resist, Christian grabbed her hand and pulled her along with him towards his car. He opened the passenger door and she reluctantly sat in as he closed the door after her. The drive was silent, the only sound that was heard was the low-volume radio. The car turned into a driveway and the headlights revealed a small house that seemed peaceful and cozy. 

Christain turned the car off and stepped out of the car as did Rue.  He unlocked the front door and turned the lights off. They walked inside as Rue closed the door behind her. "Are you hungry or anything?" he asked. Rue shook her head. "I'm going to get a fire started in the fireplace, just call my name if you need anything," Christian said. Rue nodded her head. She looked for the bathroom and until she found it. She filled the tub and soaked her body.
