“Kill him! What do you mean kill him?” I spat out in shock.
The gorgeous man turned back around and stared at me with confusion.
“He hurt you, therefore I hurt him. Skip, please continue.” He said and turned back around. I turned around to see the shorter guy, I’m guessing who was Skip, pull out a gun and point it at Nathan. I quickly jumped in front of Nathan and said “No, you are not killing Nathan, he didn’t hurt me. He did nothing.” I said whilst staring Skip down.
“Now, now, now Andrea, don’t start telling lies because you don’t want him to get hurt.” The gorgeous one said walking towards us. I couldn’t see him but I could hear him getting closer.
“I’m not” I stated and with a blink he was right in front of me yelling “You are lying! He hurt you and you have the scars to prove it don’t you!” He spat at me. I felt my skin crawl and the tears surface, I tried looking strong but when the first tear dropped I felt like the weakest person in the room.
“Beau, lay off man.” Said the twin with the girl, I looked down and wiped the tear away. I felt my cuts burn under my shirt, like they needed to be aired out or something.
When I looked back up Beau was a few steps away from me but pain was in his eyes, like he didn’t mean to yell at me. But he did, and in front of everyone.
“Come here.” He said and I couldn’t help but obey. It’s like I couldn’t stop myself from going closer to him, like I needed him. I was right in front of him when he grabbed my arm and whipped me around so that I was facing Matt and Nathan. Nathan looked scared and it looked like he was about to cry, but Matt looked mad. Very, very mad.
“Why don’t you show them sweetheart?” He said and I tried to look back he jerked at my arm and made me stay facing them.
“I don’t want to.” I stated. I felt myself start shaking under the pressure, they don’t know what I do and why should they? It’s not there problem.
“Do it” he growled.
A chill went down my back, “You’re hurting my arm though, let me go first.” I said and he let me go, pushing me a bit to the side so that I was more next to him than in front of him. “Now show them.” He growled and I couldn’t help but wonder how it would be to hear him growl my name. Oh God, I am way out of it! I need to stop, this guy is crazy and I am thinking like this?
“Now.” He stated and without hesitation my arm went to the bottom of my shirt and I pulled up showing all my scars to the people in front of me, but instead of staring at them I was staring at Beau, who was looking at me but I saw his eyes flinch to my scars and back to me. “Happy?” I asked with no emotion.
He nodded and I put my shirt back down. When I looked over at everyone the only people who were looking at me with shock was Matt and Nathan. Matt looked hurt, like he couldn’t believe I would do this to myself, and Nathan, well Nathan looked scared. Like he knew this was his fault and he knew that he would get blamed and maybe punished.
“I think I made my point,” Beau said, “Now kill him.” He said. I looked over at him and he was staring at his nails.
“No you’re not.” I spat out.
I turned around to see Skip stopped in his place, he looked confused, he didn’t know whether to kill him or not.
“And why is that?” Beau asked still looking at his nails.
“Just because he hurt me doesn’t mean he deserves to be hurt. He didn’t do this to me, I did this to myself okay. So you are not going to kill him. If you kill him, you will have to kill me.” I said, I was now standing between Nathan and Skip so I didn’t get to see Beau’s face but I saw Skip’s. He looked over at Beau and at first he looked confused then he nodded, put his gun back, and started towards me.
“Sorry Princess, but duty calls.” He said as he tried to push pass me, but as he did I quickly pushed back pushing him into an aisle of housewares. The hit knocked the aisle over but he didn’t go down. He rubbed his arm then looked back at me angrily, “I told you, if you are killing him you are killing me.” I said coolly.
“Now you know I can’t do that.” He said eyeing me, “Boss said no.” and he tried going for Nathan again. This time I turned around and grabbed a lamp and broke it against a self. I took a piece of it and put it to my stomach. By then everyone was looking at me, especially Beau. He looked like he was going to kill me himself. “Kill him and I will kill myself, I swear to God I will.” I said.
“Now Andre-“ “Shut up Matt.” I spat out. The only person I was looking at was Skip, he was close to Nathan, to close.
“No you won’t.” Said Beau still eyeing me, I looked over at him and instead of saying anything I pushed the broken lamp into my stomach and I felt it puncher my skin and I gasped a bit. His eyes grew wide and I said through the pain, “Are you sure about that?”
He clenched his jaw and turned to Skip, “Let him go.” He said and Skip did, but for some reason I couldn’t put the lamp down, all I wanted to do was end it all. I don’t know why but I couldn’t put it down. I’ve been so close to doing this thing that I was about to do for so long that I wanted to do it.
“Put it down Andrea” Beau said. I looked over at him and he looked worried. I looked down to see blood on my shirt and the lamp stuck in my skin in certain places. I tried to find the strength but I couldn’t do it. Then another hand went over mine and pulled the lamp away letting the blood flow freely form the newly formed wounds. I looked up to see Beau standing next to me with the lamp in his hand. He looked down at my stomach and said “Grab me a shirt from the rack.” I looked over to see one of the twins walking towards me with a shirt in his hand. He handed it to Beau and he pressed it to my stomach and it stung. I felt my face form to the pain and I bit my lip. He tied the arm holes around my back and let go. I looked up at him and he looked, well, sad.
He turned towards Skip and said “Grab them and let’s go.” Then Skip turned around and grabbed Nathan’s arm and put it around his back and started pushing him towards the door.
“What are you doing?” I yelled.
“Well, we can’t just leave and let you guys call the cops on us. You are all coming with us.” Beau stated. I looked over to see Matt in the tall guys hold. He was looking over at me and he looked scared. That might be why they weren’t fighting. They didn’t want to get killed.
“But that’s not fair.” I said
“Life’s not fair, now let’s go.” He said grabbing my arm.
“Let me go.” I yelled and he did. He looked back at me and said “Listen, let us take you somewhere safe, away from all of this pain and misery. Let me fix you up and take care of you.” He said holding his hand back out.
I wanted to take it, I wanted to jump into his arms and be with him forever, but I didn’t even know him. So instead I said “I rather live in pain than live with you.” And I walked past him to the SUV.
When I got in I saw Skip sitting in the back next to Nathan and Matt was next to me. When Beau got out to the car he got in the passenger seat and said something to whoever was driving and we were gone.
