Tattoo over my heart

Revenge

Harley POV

It's been a week since everything happened and I'm finally back at the shop. I'm tattooing again and I feel great. My brother called me and let me know he was okay, he's back on his feet and he happy. He doesn't blame me for what happened and wanted to know what happened between me and clay but I just told him we argued. If he found out clay hit me I don't know what he would do. He apologised for saying the things he did and promised he would keep in contact with me more. Gemma has been contacting me more too, she was worried about me but I told her I was okay.

Today has been a busy day and I'm finally sitting down for lunch, my phone rings and I groan until I see the name of the caller.
"Hey handsome"
"Hey beautiful, how's the shop?"
"It's good. Been super busy but feels good to be back. How's the interviews going?"
"There good. It's a bit hectic but we are getting through them"
"Good"
"I miss you Harley"
"I miss you too but you'll be home soon"
"I know I just hate the fact we were finally getting somewhere and then I had to leave"
"It's okay Chris I understand really"

"Okay, we'll I gotta go. I'll talk to tonight?"
"Yeah okay. Love you"
"I love you too"
We hang up and I finally tuck into my lunch, chris has been doing some promotion work and is currently in LA. He promised he wouldn't cheat on me regarding his tattoos but I told him he could go see Josh if he wanted too. April comes into the back and she looks upset.
"You okay?"
She shakes her head "Ryan is out front"
"What?"
"Said he wants to talk to you"

"Okay, stay here and ring the police okay"
"Harley..."
"April it's okay"
She nods and I walk out, he is standing there with a bottle of whiskey in his hand and he doesn't look great.
"Ryan what are you doing here?"
"We need to talk"
"There is nothing to talk about Ryan and you need to leave"
He shakes his head and waves around the bottle "I own half of this shop. I need money"
"What for?"
"Jessica, she......we......" he groans and runs his hand down his face.
"It's all such a mess Harley"

I sigh and walk towards him "what's going on ryan? We used to tell each other everything"
He falls to the floor and begins to sob "she's pulled me into this all out war between her family and another and now I'm stuck. I'm stuck, I'm drunk and I'm hurting the people who mean the most to me. I don't know who I'm becoming anymore Harley"
I place my hand on his arm gently and he turns to look at me, he has dark circles and he is so pale.
"Ryan, just walk away. Run. Get far away as possible. I can send you your half of the money if you want. I'll buy you out, but you can't keep going on like this ryan. What you nearly did to me"

He shakes his head "I'm so sorry Harley. I never.....god I'm so sorry"
"It's okay. I just want to help"
"You can't" he stands up and pulls out a gun from behind his back.
"Ryan please"
"She wants me to kill you. She says your part of the enemy and if I get rid of you, it would break the rest"
"That's not true, please Ryan"
He points the gun at me and I hear the sirens in the background.
"Ryan the police are coming and there going to arrest you. Please....don't do this"
He cries harder "I'm so sorry"
I close my eyes waiting for the shot, it's goes off and everything goes silent.
