Mark put his hand up in surrender and smirked. "Chloe, you are such a naïve girl. You think I am the bad guy here, but don't you wonder who killed your mom?" he laughed when he saw my expression change from determined to questioning. I lowered my gun and looked him right in the eyes.

"You didn't think I killed her myself, did you? I could never move from Criminal Minds to your house when you were right there. But who wasn't by your side when you needed him?" My mouth fell open in shock as I remembered him not being there for me. I looked for him, but he was nowhere to be found.

Charlie.

But he couldn't be the one to kill my mom, could he? When I heard that thud, it was strange the culprit was gone in just a second. Charlie's house is right in next to ours, so he could get away if he wanted to.

But that didn't explain why he would do something like that.

It doesn't fit, something is missing here.

Mark looked at me with an amused expression, as if I hadn't put a gun to his head just seconds ago. "I see how you are thinking about it. But who said it was Charlie? There are a lot of people who weren't there. Blaze, Elliot.. you never know if you kill me now Chloe." I grabbed my gun and pointed it at his head again.

"I don't care." I said honestly. "You were the one to give that command, so you are the one to blame. If I don't kill you, I will only dishonor my mom's death. I am sorry, but I don't believe any of your bullshit anymore. I need to get you out of the way." His expression changed in seconds. He was now smirking and laughing at me. It felt like he was making fun of me, and I really can't cope with people who make fun of me.

I let him laugh a little before I shot him in the leg. He screamed and fell on the ground. I stepped forward with an evil smile on my face.

"Who's laughing now huh?" He looked up with tears in his eyes and an unreadable expression.

"I am always the last one to laugh Chloe. If you were as smart as you say you are, you would've looked around you the whole time. But you are too late now, you are captured. There is no way you can get out."

I looked around and saw six guys walking in a circle around me. They came closer by the second and Mark was right.

There was no way in hell I could escape this.

I ran to Mark and pulled him up by his throat. "If you come any closer, I will shoot him." I held the gun to his temple and smirked. They all stopped walking and raised their guns. I was about to speak again when a figure walked into the middle of the circle.

Elliot.

He raised his hands and looked me in the eyes. "Chloe, please, don't do this" he begged me. I looked in his eyes and I couldn't resist. I could never kill his dad in front of him, I am not heartless. Even though he betrayed me, I just couldn't do this.

I sighed and lowered my gun. "I will let him go, if you let me escape safely." Elliot only nodded and I pushed his dad in his way. He catched his dad and held him up, looking at his leg. His accusing eyes landed on my again, and I shrugged.

"He deserved it." Elliot shook his head and looked at me in disgust.

"I can't believe I once liked you. You are such a heartless bitch, you don't even think about the people around you. I should've never taken you back as my friend." His words stung, I had to admit. I didn't want to be this person, but it was the only way to survive.

I walked closer to Elliot until I was right in front of him. I lowered my head just next to his ear. "I became a heartless bitch the moment your dad gave the command to kill my mother." I pulled my head back and looked at him. His eyes were fixated on his dad.

"Is that true dad?" Oh, so he didn't know. Whoops, my fault. Mark looked up at Elliot and nodded slowly.

"She tried to ruin our gang!" he tried to scream, but it came out as a whisper. Anger was boiling up in my veins and I was getting angry again.

"I didn't want to ruin your gang! I only wanted to find my dad's murderer and pay the guy who is blackmailing me. My dad left me and Jamie a debt and we had to pay it back to him." I yelled at him. His eyes went wide and everyone looked at me.

I lowered my head because I couldn't look at their surprised faces. But when I whipped my head up again, my face was red of anger.

"You tried to set him up! He stole the one million dollar from your gang, and now I have to face the consequences of my dad's faults. How is that supposed to be fair?" I was screaming with all my might and I really needed to hit someone. "It's all your fault." I pointed at Mark. "If you weren't such an old, greedy man, I would've never joined your gang! I would just be at home, with my mom, dad and Jamie. But now, now I changed, and it's all because of you I am such a horrible person!" I fell on the ground as all the anger left my body at once. There was no energy left, and I couldn't do anything.

I was totally beaten.

Elliot tried to come closer, but I didn't let him. "Go away please." I whispered so soft, I didn't know if anyone heard me. Elliot nodded, signaling he understood and helped his dad up. He looked at me one last time before leaving, taking all the other six guys with him.

I laid down on the ground and cried. I cried like I hadn't cried before and let all my emotions flow. There was no one here with me, and that's the moment I realized I am alone.

I was born alone, and I am going to die alone.

Might as well make a change before I die.

Say goodbye Criminal Minds, you won't be here for much longer.
