After Dusk

17.

~8:53pm~

🔥Zacks p.o.v🔥

"30 seconds" the deep voice said and I begin to panic as tash and Alex yell out orders to me. Im stand here confused to how I should sacrifice and the room feels like its getting smaller "Zackery stone for fuck sake shoot me and save Tash. I know you will look after and not hurt her im sorry I didnt tell you that back then. My reaction was just me being protective. Now shot me and save my sister and I swear if you dont shot me Ill shoot you!" Alex yelled, I take a breath and grab a hold of the lever

"ZACKERY SHOOT ME!" Alex yelled

"Im so sorry" I say with fear and pain in my voice I pull the lever

"Im sorry Tash. I love you" a few seconds later the trigger is pulled and the bullet flies towards Alex puncturing his chest and going through his heart

"NOO!!ALEX!!" Tash yelled. The doors unlock and I run out to tash un-chaining her, as I unchain her she falls in to my chest crying why "Im not worth it" Tash whispered

"Tash im so sorry but we need to get moving the psycho could be still here" I say pulling her way from me and putting my hands on her cheeks. She nods and we make our way back to the house, we get half way back when we run in to Luke "hey what happened? Wheres Alex?" he asked. Without a word Tash continues to walk and we walk behind her as we walk back to the house I explain everything to Luke once im done were walking through the back door to the house and to the living room.

~9:02pm~

♦Tash's p.o.v♦

I walk in to the living room and hear my name be called out but I ignore it and walk off upstairs. I walk over to my room but then im wrapped in strong arms "Tash I really am sorry" I hear zack say as he hugs me from behind

"If you were sorry for me you would have shot me" I say seriously as I un-wrap my arms

"For fuck sake tash why are you so willing to take a bullet? zack asked somewhat in a pissed tone

"Because family comes first! And he was my last sibling! Im going to be alone again if he lived he would have my parents to help him unlike me where my parents use me but you wont understand that because youre an only child Zack and you parents love you for what you are. Zack stop caring and helping before you get hurt I" turn and go to open the door when Zack grabs my wrist and pulls it in order to get me to look at him

"Tash you have us. Shak. Montana. Lisa. Me. We are here for you and you cant push us away forever. Just let us help you stop blaming yourself, stop beating yourself up about things you think are your fault"

"How can I!? Yasmin ran off because I started the fight! Alex is DEAD because of me! How can you say its NOT my fault zack! If you knew better you would have just stayed Alexs friend! Stop caring before you get hurt!" I yell, I open my door and slam it close. I turn away from the door and slid my back down and pull my knees to my chest as I sit against the door my emotions then just pour out and now im sitting her crying.

🔥Zacks p.o.v🔥

I rubs my face with my hands and sit down on the other side of the door "im sorry" I whisper

"And I promise you wont be alone will be then this time, Ill try harder this time" I say as I get up and walk down stairs to the other.

♦Tash's p.o.v♦

"And I promise you wont be alone will be then this time, Ill try harder this time" I then hear his foot step travel down the hall and downstairs. I smile and open the door but then my head begins to hurt and everything goes black but a few seconds I see Lisas laying on what looked like a cave floor. I look around and see its an old mine tunnel, I run to Lisa and shake her shoulder but I fall through her and then im back in the hall way of the house I look around and freak out a little before getting up and running down stair and everyone looks at me "um.." I say.
