Not being chosen

Chapter 17

Kate POV

I woke up two hours later and find Theo sleeping next to me.

I lift my hands onto my face.

I can't believe what I heard last night.

Wait.

I look at my finger and see my finger.

The ring was gone.

Where is it?

I search the bed.

Wasn't there.

I searched my pockets.

Not there.

I searched everywhere until I realised the only person who would take it was lying next to me.

Theo.
"Wake up" I yelled shaking him.

He moved a little and he battered his eyelids.

"Morning sweetheart".

"Where's the ring?" I ask angrily.

"What ring? I ain't got no ring" he says.

I push him onto the bed and draw my knife out to his throat.

"Calm down" he says.

"Where is it?" I say giving him an evil look.

"Why can't you forget about him. You didn't love him" Theo says sadly.

"I did and he is still important to me and the fact that he was gonna propose. That meant something, I saw a new side to him" I say in a sweet voice thinking of him.

I shake off my thoughts and ask Theo again

"this is your last chance before you start loosing fingers. Where's the ring?".

"It's in my bag, front pocket. I was going to chuck it in the river so you would move on"

Theo says pointing to his bag.

I get up and walk over to the bag and open up the front pocket.

I reach into his bag and there it is.

The ring.

I pull it out of the bag and place it on the 4th finger on my right hand.

"We need to move on. I won't where it like I'm his fiancé anymore" I say looking at Theo.

"Thank you" he says.

I nod and walk out of the room.

As I walk back onto the balcony and look upon Ashton's blood stains I start to cry.

I collapse onto the floor when I hear someone approaching from behind me.

I quickly wipe away the tears and put s dodgy smile on my face.

It's Monica.

"Hey are you okay?" I say trying to sound concerned.

"You don't have to be okay with me. I understand. We will avenge his death" Monica says.

"I'm sorry" I say confused.

"Who are you Monica?".

Silence fell across the room for what seems like forever until she looks at me and says

"I'm Ashton's sister. Now we better get started"...
