Finale: War Pt. Two

-Author's P.O.V.-

War

a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.

No one thinks they'll have to experience war in their lifetime. Sure, we learn about it in history class at one point or another, but to actually witness a gruesome battle is something that'll stain a person's memory for life. 

Both sides didn't want to fight. None of them wanted a lifestyle like this. Who would want to live their life in constant fear? But looking at the circumstances and the unforgiving choices these men made in the past, they're left with no choice.

Justin wished more than anyone to be a normal man with a normal life. A beautiful wife with a happy family. He could work a nine to five job and not fear for his or his family's life. But ever since the death of his parents and losing the privilege to see his siblings, he'll forever live his life in fear. Someone will always be after him. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder kept him awake every single night. Justin didn't know anything else but a loaded gun. 

He was an uncertified soldier in unknown wars. 

But the question was, what about Austin? Why was he fighting in a battle he didn't need to be in? He lived in a good Christian home with a wealthy family. He didn't have to participate in the life of crime, or did he? 

The Parker family was a good family to the public, but behind closed doors, they weren't 'lawyers' liked the claimed to be. Inside that rich mansion laid mobsters. The Parker's had many hidden secrets and terrifying guest that would haunt Austin's young mind for forever.

This war was much more than just to build the other sides ego. There was unresolved anger built towards their unfair lives. Somehow, both men would get the fulfillment they need by adding a notch to their belt. Well, so they thought.

Bullets flew through the air with no remorse. As much as Justin hated Austin and what he did to you, he had a tad of guilt for trying to kill the father of your unborn child. He knew that you would have resentment towards him for doing this, but you're the love of his life. 

He has to have you no matter the circumstances.

Justin never wanted to hurt you. You're his pure joy. No matter how much damage you could do, he let his walls fall for you. His heart remained beating for you. You're his everything.

Blood covered the floors as men cried in gruesome agony. Justin had a black eye and a bleeding nose from a fist fight with one of Austin's guys, but he kept fighting. 

"You fight for the ones you love, Justin." He remembered you saying in the past. 

"This fight is for you, y/n." Justin whispered to himself. 

Justin was on a mission. He knew his men could handle Austin's crew on their own, but the question was, where was Austin? 

Justin looked over to where you was supposed to be located, but you where nowhere to be seen.

"Son of a bitch!" Justin snapped, his blood boiling. 

Justin began running out of the warehouse, frantically looking for any sign of you. But as soon as he started to exit the building, a bullet went through his chest. Justin's vision turned blurry as he thought his own men let him down. He managed to turn around to see cops flood the warehouse with aimed guns.

Justin fell to the floor with blood leaking out his chest, the last thing on his mind being you.
