Chapter 26

"I said to put the gun down Addy!" Luke nudged my head slightly with the gun.

"I would do as he says Adelaide. You are cornered with no way out." Anne smirked.

"Luke what are you doing?" I asked him calmly.

"I can't let you do this. Anne may be a bitch but she is still my mother." He stepped closer.

I took a deep breath.

"Looks like my good for nothing son has some balls after all. Give me the gun, boy." Anne held out her hand for the gun but didn't break eye contact with me.

Luke handed her the gun and went to stand behind her. She checked the safety then aimed the barrel right between my eyes. She let out a sinister laugh and cocked her head to the side. I didn't dare move. Her finger played with the trigger.

Stick to the plan Addy.

"Is this how this scenario played out in your pretty little head, Adelaide? You standing alone with my gun pointed right at your skull? I am curious to find out what happens next. Aren't you?" she asked me with an evil grin.

"I think we both know how this is going to end Anne. No point in stalling the inevitable right?" I smirked at her. My heart was beating so fast I'm sure Anne could hear it.

"Mom do you need me to get your men back in here?" Luke asked her and I glared at him.

"No, no. Little Adelaide isn't a threat anymore. I'm taking care of this little bitch now by myself." Anne stepped closer so that my gun touched her head and her gun touched mine. It was a stand off.

"Are you sure Anne? Because if I have to go down, you are coming down with me." I stalled her.

She laughed. "Sweetie I've lived for a good while to understand the consequences of my actions. If I get shot here, I guess we both get to continue this in hell."

"In your dreams. I wouldn't share the same hell as you even in my nightmares!" I spat at her. I watched Luke step directly behind Anne but I didn't focus on him My finger squeezed the trigger a little. Anne was definitely tempting me.

Stick to the plan Addy. Not yet.

"I'm sure when we meet your mother there you will think twice about that statement. Then the three of us could rot together." Anne smiled.

That got to me. "You know what Anne? Fuck you! You're just jealous of my mother. You have been all these years. My father picked her over you and it's killing you inside!" I yelled.

"Shut up!" Anne screamed.

"Why? Because you know it's true right? My father didn't want you then, doesn't want you now, and will never want your crazy ass!"

"I said shut up!" Anne whacked me in the face with the butt of her gun. My nose started to bleed. I stepped back with my gun still trained on her.

Anne was breathing heavy. "Goodbye Adelaide." And with that Anne pulled the trigger.

Nothing happened. She tried again and again and again. I smirked. I pulled my trigger and caught her in the thigh.

"Ahh!" she yelled as she went down. She looked between Luke and me. "What the hell is going on?" she yelled in pain.

Luke pulled something out of his pocket. "Is this what you need?" In his hand were the bullets to his gun.

"W-What?" Anne asked as she pressed down on her wound.

"She was never alone Anne. Just you." Luke crossed his arms and looked away.

"No!" Anne turned back to me and looked into the barrel of my gun. "You b-"

I pulled the trigger again. This time Anne went down and stayed there.

"Crazy bitch." I muttered and put my gun back in my boot.

Luke looked at her expressionless. I walked over to him and looked back at Anne. He didn't move or speak.

"I'm sorry." I said.

He didn't say anything.

"Luke?" I touched his arm.

No response.

I pulled his arm toward the doorway. "Come on Luke. I know her men heard the gunshots. We have to get out of here quickly. Which way out?"

Luke cleared his throat and took my hand. Then we ran out the house and to the garage. Luke stood with his back against the garage door. I ran back towards him.

"Luke come on we have to go. Where are the keys?" I asked him. I could already hear yelling going on back in the house.

Luke didn't move.

I groaned and began testing every key to get a car. I found one and practically shoved Luke into the passenger seat. I sped off away from the house and didn't look back until I couldn't see the house in my rearview mirror.

Hours passed and I pulled over so I could talk to a still quiet Luke. He hadn't spoken one word since earlier.

"Luke?"

He continued to stare out the window.

"Luke?" I tried again.

No response.

"Damn it Luke say something!" I yelled at him and grabbed his face so he could look at me.

His face was tear-stained and his eyes were red. I let go of his face and covered my own. "God, Luke I'm so sorry. This must be killing you and me being here probably isn't making it any better is it? Wait no don't answer that. You're hurting and I'm just annoying you."

Luke wiped his face and ran hand through his hair. "It's alright Addy. It had to be done." He rubbed his neck and looked forward.

"You must hate me now don't you." I said softly. I felt like shit. I just killed the guy's mother and yelled at him for not being okay.

He sighed. "I don't hate you Addy. I really don't. That was bound to happen eventually. Anne had a lot of enemies. Unfortunately today was just her day. Nothing anyone could do about."

"Of course there was I coul-"

"Addy stop. We both know that if Anne wasn't dead right now it would be you on that floor. It was you or her and I would've picked you anyday."

We were silent for a while. Then Luke let out a small laugh.

"You know what's so sad about all of this?" he asked.

"What?"

"All this time I wanted to have a real relationship with Eva but my mother was always in the way. Now that she's finally out the picture I don't even have Eva. I broke her trust and her heart. She's never going to forgive me." he sighed.

"Eva will forgive you Luke. You just have to give her some time to heal." I said.

He looked at me. "How do you know? Eva is like the second most stubborn hard-headed person I know. Only after you."

I let out a small laugh at that truth. "I just do Luke. She was in love with you and I know she still is or else none of this would have hurt her so much. You are her everything. You just hurt her feelings."

Luke nodded and leaned back in his seat but said nothing. I did the same.

"So um, do you know where we are?" Luke asked me and for some reason I found it hilarious. Tears rolled out of my eyes as I laughed. I shook my head.

Luke laughed with me. "Switch sides. I'll drive."

I sat in the passenger seat and looked at the stars as Luke drove. I closed my eyes and fell asleep without knowing.
