Truth Be Told

Chapter 16

Ang P.O.V.

I watched as Ross looked around at all the lifeless bodies of his family on the ground. I couldn't believe I did this. He looked at me with tears running down his face.

"A..Angela, h-how could you? How could you kill my family right infront of me?!" He sobbed loudly.

"I-I'm s-sorry! I had to, it's why I was brought here!" I cried, tears down my cheeks.

"I thought you loved me!!"

"I do!"

"Then why? Why are you doing this to me? I loved you and you repay me by killing everyone I love." I sniffed before lifting the gun up, pointing it at Ross.

His eyes widened, "Wait..Ang please!! Please don't do this! I love you! Please!" Ross pleaded.

I cried more, "I'm sorry Ross. I have to." I said putting my finger on the trigger. He looked deep into my eyes like a lost puppy.

"Ang...I love you."

I hesitated with the trigger.

"I love you too Ross."

BANG!!!!!!

I shot up, breathing heavily and all sweaty. It was just a dream. Just a dream. Wait, where was I? I started panicking as I looked around the room. Just then, I saw Ryland on his bed to my left, sleeping. I looked at where I was again. I was laying in Ross' bed, but where was he? I heard Riker's voice coming from downstairs followed by Ross'. I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. I saw him  and immediately jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly.

"Someone missed you." I hear Riker say.

I started crying softly into Ross' chest. "Baby it's only been 2 hours. Wait, why are you crying?" Ross asked worriedly.

"I think she had a nightmare. She started screaming and woke me up." Ryland said, tiredly walking to the kitchen.

Ross tilted my chin up to where I was looking into his eyes. "What was the nightmare about? Is it about the whole Derek thing? Listen, I meant it when I said I wouldn't let anything happen to you."

Little did he know, he shouldve been protecting himself. Him and his family are the ones HE is after. Because of me he'll die, because of me he suffers by watching his family die, because of me the only person that has made me happy is being pulled away from me by death. I had to find out a way to where he couldn't die. To where he wouldn't die.

Suddenly I thought of it, if I'm not here he can't die. I could leave and he could stay alive and live a happy life. Even if I was gone he would probably move on and be happy with another girl. It killed me thinking of him with someone else but it was for the best. I had to tell him the truth.

"Ross.....I need to talk to you, alone." He looked concerned but agreed.

We walked into his room and sat down on the bed. "What do you need to tell me?"

I hesitated and took a deep breath. "Ross, I cant do this. I cant keep this secret from you and even if I tell you......I'll have to leave. Y-youll want me to leave......and you'd hate me for life and never see me again."

He gave me a more worried look than before. "What do you mean? Whatever you need to tell me, you can. I would never want you to leave, no matter what you say."

"Ross, even if you'd want me to stay I couldn't. Its about your family's safety and I know you would never look at me again if you found out."

"My family's safety?! What does that have to do with anything? You can tell me anything and I wouldnt leave you. No matter...."

"ROSS IM A HITMAN!!!!" I cut him off.

He looked shocked. "A hitman??"

I nodded my head, "I came here because you and your family were my targets."

Ross had a look of confusion and disbelief on his face. I could've sworn I could see his heart breaking and I couldn't stand that look on him.

"Im so so sorry Ross. I have to go-i messed up and shouldve told you. I'll leave and you wont ever have to see me again." I said tears running down my face. I got up and ran out of the room, leaving Ross speechless. I got all the way downstairs and ran into Angel.

"Hey....Ang what's wrong?"

I shook my head, "Nothing I have to go." I sobbed, passing her.

"Wait, where are you going?!" I heard her shout.

"Away from here!" I said walking faster to the door. I opened the door and ran to my bike and took off without even putting on my helmet. Behind me, I heard Angel shout for me to come back. But I kept going, tears were spilling out of my eyes like crazy. It's really late and really dark, so dark I couldnt see anything.

The only thing I saw was a flash of lights coming at me really fast. Next thing I know, my bike rams into a car and I roll on top of it. I hear ringing and my vision starts getting blurry.

I hear someone scream, "Angela!! Oh my gosh, Angela!! You're gonna be okay, hear me? You're gonna be okay!"

It wasn't who I really wanted it to be. It wasnt Ross, instead it was a female voice. The ringing got louder and my vision got blurier. My vision started fading out as I drifted off. All I saw was black but I could hear everything around me.

"Okay, Angel is there anyone else that would like to know she's here?"

Angel, thats who it was.

"I dont really know. Let me go make a call and see if they will come."

"Okay, you go do that."

That's the last thing I remember.

I wake up to hear who sounds like Ross talking to the doctor.

"Please tell me, is she gonna be okay?"

"Look, I dont really know. She hasnt waken up yet. There's no telling what could happen."

I widened my eyes, Ross was here. I get off the hospital bed and look out the door to see them talking to eachother. I walk over to the window and unlock it before lifting it up to open it. I climb out and stay as close to the building I can without falling off. I look over to see a ledge and right under it is an ambulance. I slowly head towards it. I jump down onto the vehicle and jump to the ground. I look at where my window was before turning around and running as fast as I can to get wherever. My head was throbbing but I keep running. I could get to a hotel a take care of it myself but now I have to run and get as far away from Ross as I can.

Ross P.O.V.

I walk into Ang's hospital room and I stop in my tracks. She's gone, she was just here! Just then, I notice that the window is open. I run over and look out of it and to my right, I see Ang running away as fast as she could. I hurry up and run out of the room, down the hall, and out the front doors. I look around frantically, searching for her. Searching for my Ang, the only girl that makes me happy. I don't care what she hid from me. I know she didnt want to do it and I knew she wasnt. She wouldn't have ran away. I look around and I couldnt find her.

Angel comes out and looks at me, "She's gone Ross."

"No she's not, I will not give up until I find her and she's in my arms again." Trust me, I meant it.
