Saved by the Bad Boy

Chapter 16

Tears fight through my eyes as I drive down the freeway. This wasn't how it was supposed to happen. It wasn't supposed to be like this. Einar was supposed to be with me, but he isn't. Instead, he chose the other girl. How did I ever think he loved me? How could he love a girl like me? I grip the steering wheel and try to focus on the road. Tears blur my vision and I blink them away. I try not to think of anything, but thoughts keep flooding in. Why did he do this to me? Did everything he said not matter at all? Did my feelings never matter to him? That night, the one night we slipped up and forgot about everything, forgot about the stupid D.E.A.D., when we forgot that we can't have kids, was he just desperate? I don't understand, he cheated on me, why? Why did he do it? Was he mad at me after I told him no? I don't know, but I'm done with him now. It's time for a new life, one where I won't be hunted down, one where I'll have a normal life, one where I can leave the house whenever I want. I'll finally have what I wanted, and it's all because I worked for it. I did it myself. I smile to myself, but I squint down the road there are black trucks stopping cars, stopping my normal life. I stop the car and open the door. People in black uniforms stand, guns ready and their trap set. I spy a sniper behind me, I smile.

"Hello boys, came to get me? Where's your leader, did he not come o say hi." I put out a pouty lip, "Aw, too bad, I really would've loved killing him." They keep their eyes focused on me, trying not to give away their trap. I smile, "Are you not going to talk? Nothing, what are you going to do? Kill me?" I laugh, "My poor darlings wouldn't want to do that, but I'm not afraid anymore, I'll be happy to." Of course, this was all an act, I have no idea who these people are, I don't want to kill them. They probably have families that love them very much. But they still have a choice, they had the choice to take this job, to kill people for bad reasons, and that is something I can't have mercy to. 

"You're coming with us and do not retaliate because leader did want to send you this; 'you can't run, and you can't hide, because we'll always find you, we'll always be more powerful than you, and you'll always be weak.'" A man with hard eyes says standing up. He glares at me and I smile. 

"Well tell him this, oh wait, you can't from hell." I turn and shoot an ice bullet at the sniper. He slumps over and I turn back towards them I open my palms, angry now. My ice grows through the air, freezing their guns, freezing their guns and their feet to the ground they stand on. They start to scream as ice freezes through them and I gulp. Once the screaming has stopped I open my eyes to see their faces frozen in their last screams. I brush away a tear, knowing I'll cry enough over them later. I open my car door to a cramp from the baby. I gasp at the small pain compared to the pain I've felt today. I put a hand over my small bump. I'm already in my second trimester and there is a bump. But I'm wearing a baggy sweatshirt, so it's hard to notice. I put one foot in but freeze.

"Cali! Cali!" I turn to see Einar moving through the crowd that has seen what I just did, all of their phones are out. I quickly go through and freeze them. I let out a sob, and shake my head, not able to face him. He steps out in front of the crowd and stops. I turn angry and tears flowing down my cheeks.

"How could you do this to me?! You were working with them against me the whole time! You've made me a killer! This is all your fault! And to think I fell for you! After you lied to me! You have no right to be alive! How? Why did you do this to me?! To us?! To this poor thing that is your own flesh and blood?! How? Why?" My voice is barely a whisper with the pain by the last statement. 

"Cali I don't know-"

"You don't know?! You chose her! You chose that other girl over me! You chose to leave me! But this time I'm not giving up, for my child, who is no longer yours." I get into the car and start it. He rushes to the car as I drive away, screaming. But I'm not going to listen to his lies anymore. I take a deep breath and drive down the freeway, past the black trucks, leaving my past and my first true love behind. I don't know think I will ever love again.

After a few hours, I finally cross the border, my eyes are red and I'm tired and only want some fries, but I can't use my card. I groan and tears well up again. I only want some fries! I rub my forehead, and get out of the car, locking it and breathing in the cold, chilling air, feeling safer in the cold. I lean against my car, trying to wish away the memories of the last few months. But it doesn't work and the tears start coming and they don't stop. I wipe the tears away angrily and realize that the sun is starting to set. I open my car door and get back in, needing a parking lot to park and then I can sleep. I find a Walmart and put down the back seats and lie down. But it's hard and I can't get comfortable. But after a few hours of crying off and on I cry myself to sleep.
