COME.AND.PLAY - The Final Blow *Finale* *JAMES MORIARTY FANFICTION*

27. The Decision

I stared through the glass. Unable to move. Unable to feel anything but complete fear. They looked at me I looked back. They stared, somehow pleading with me, asking, no, screaming for help. But could I decide? I couldn't speak. My mouth ran dry and I felt like I was going to lose either way. Of course I was.

James, my husband. Who was supposed the stand by me but obviously he hasn't. But I still loved him. I know after everything he has put me through we would still come back together again. But how many times would that happen? One more time? A few more times? I don't think I could deal with that.

And Sebastian... He is sweet. He does know how to treat a woman and he does make you feel loved and he is very attractive. I know if I chose him to stay alive I would regret not being with James for the rest of my life.

When I first met James of course, I fell in love instantly. Some probably don't believe in love at first sight but I feel like it happened for me because of James. I hadn't really ever had a real relationship until he came along. He changed how I see the world and I don't think I could ever forget that.

Sebastian is an amazing man and any girl would be very lucky to have him. And maybe if I hadn't of met James things could have been different.

I looked at them both and stood in front of the glass pressing my head against the cold surface. My fingers were pressed against the glass and I stepped back but kept my hands on the glass.

I looked up into the opposite room at them both and noticed a timer suddenly appear on the back wall. I frowned.

"Zachary. What do you want from me." I said firmly. The countdown appeared and it said 5 minutes but it hadn't started to countdown yet.

"I want nothing from you. I'm trained to do this. Its my job, my lifestyle. I do this no matter what. Believe me, you are not the first victims. I am a genius and always get my way at the end." He said through the speakers.

"But you can't- I don't- no. Why us? Why?" I said.

"You just drew my attention and then it happened." He chuckled.

There was no getting through to him. One of them had to die.

Two buttons were on the side of the wall and one said save James and the other said save Sebastian.

"All you have to do is press the button of who you want to stay alive." He said.

"What if I died." I said staring at the buttons. "I'll sacrifice myself." I said closing my eyes and swallowing the dryness in my throat.

"Well that's up to you. Someone here needs to die. Someone. But what about Stephanie? How will she cope without her mother?" Zachary said.

"She won't. She needs me. I can't just leave her." I replied.

"So choose." He said. I looked up and noticed the countdown had been going and it was already at 2:56 going down.

"I- fuck. No. Wait! Please! Just- Zachary please. Stop it! I'll do whatever you want. Please! Zachary?!" I screamed but there was no answer.

2:14

Suddenly two huge round saws started to move slowly down towards them. I gasped and ran to the glass. They both looked terrified but they couldn't do anything they were strapped for he chairs. I could see them saying something or shouting but the glass was so thick I couldn't hear a thing from their side.

1:59

"Shit. For fucks sake! This isn't fair! We haven't done a single thing to you!??!" I shouted kicking the glass.

1:45

Tears streamed down my face and I whacked my fist against the glass. My knuckles cracked and I held my hand tightly. "Fuck you. You piece of shit. How the fuck do you know I won't call the police after this." I screamed.

1:31

I stood in front of the glass and saw them both looking up and to me alternating between the saws and myself.

1:23

I raised my hands to my head and watched them. This wasn't fucking fair. Not at all. And here I am decided their fate this is not what happens.

1:06

"I'm sorry. I don't know if you can hear me but I am sorry. James I'm so sorry. I love you."

0:56

"And Sebastian you're amazing. Please don't think otherwise."

0:45

You both mean so much to me. It hurts, I'm sorry. I hate this. I'm sorry we are in this position I swear to God. I would kill myself. There are no fucking things in this room to use. I'm fucking- fuck. " I wiped the tears from my eyes and walked over to the buttons.

0:31

I had to press one. Or else they both wouldn't stop and they both would die. I can't press them both at the same time. I tried but it did nothing. They wouldn't work. I had to choose one.

0:14

"Shit." I looked up and saw them.

0:12

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

0:09

"I am so sorry. I love you. I always will." I said feeling my cheeks getting wet again.

0:05

"I'm sorry." I said again.

0:02

I slammed the button hard and fell to the floor sobbing. Everything shattered inside me and I kept crying. It was horrible. I was horrible...
