Mafia Marriage

Chapter 9

As I started remembering all those things and looking at the gun I collapsed to the floor.

I started gasping, I felt like someone was choking me, I couldn't breathe. Ashley gasped and looked at me worried and scared. As I saw Nathan reach me I started trembling and still couldn't breathe.

"She's having a panic attack!", Ashley screamed at Nathan who looked startled.

"Jenny breathe in then out, in and out", she told me slowly. Trying to do what she ordered, I stopped trembling but still unable to move. Slowly I was now breathing steadily. Looking away from him I curled into a ball and started shaking again.

Ashley went to me and hugged me, calming me down. After a while my shaking just became quiet tears.

"We gotta go and you're coming with me, your friend will go with Chris don't worry about her", Nathan said. Ashley growled which was creepy but still followed Chris. I just nodded without any strength to argue. 

"Umm I didn't mean to scare you back there. We might have swore hatred to each other but I won't kill you.", he said with a kind voice. I felt tears fall from my eyes.

"Why did you get so scared? Was it the gun?", he asked

"No shit. I'm sorry I'm not used to having a gun pointed at". 

"Okay enough of your dramaticness, I was just trying to have a conversation and besides I did help you, you might want to b more thankful", he spat angrily.

"Just because you kinda helped just a little back there doesn't mean I'll pretend you're my hero. I wouldn't have even needed help if it wasn't because of you and your stupid gun", I said exasperated with his little kid answer.

"You should at least be thankful for once in your life. You act like everything you have is nothing", he said with complete disgust in his voice.

"What do I have? Tell me. Money? I don't care about it. I would trade all of it for my mom to come back. My dad hates me. My sister's dead and he's basically sending me to my death. If one day I get you too angry, you'll shoot my head off!", I screamed.

"What triggered it?", Nathan asked ignoring my comments. 

"What are you talking about?", was my answer, well question.

"Oh the panic attack. When I saw you running towards me and I saw the gun. That set it off. I thought you would kill me. My life flashed through my eyes and I remembered my mother's death."

He nodded I guess understanding, he kept driving though not saying a simple 'oh' or anything which made me glad.

Relaxing after a while I closed my eyes, but still aware of what was going on around me. Then I felt Nathan step on the accelerator and my eyes fluttered open.

"We got a tail and I think I know who it is". Nathan informed me when he saw my confused face.

Turning around I saw three black cars some men were taking out guns.

" Fuck they're shooting!", I yelled through the noise.

"Don't worry we can take care of them", he said.

"We are not a fucking team but if we work together that doesn't mean I like you. It means I want to survive", I pointed out.

"Give me a gun now", I ordered.

"You know how to use a gun?", he questioned.

"Yes my father made me go to shooting classes, combat, and all sorts of defense and fighting classes." he took out two guns and passed them to me.

I climbed to the backseat and started shooting thankfully the windows weren't bulletproof.

Aiming the gun and pulling the trigger it hit the driver after two misses and the car swerved all over the place.

"You drive so I can kill these motherfuckers", Nathan roared from the front seat. Following his directions I climbed to the front seat. He swiftly went to the back and I grabbed the wheel.

"Shoot them or they're going to kill me." I felt a bullet graze my arm as one of the cars caught up to us.

"Wait", he said calmly. Pulling out the gun I had I shot the other cars window yet again aiming for the driver but missing and making the car swerve a little but without losing control.

They weren't dead though.

Stopping the car and hearing screeches I opened my door and shot the the driver straight in the head causing the car to flip and lose control.

Thankfully we were on the countryside and no one was around.

In that moment the last car drove straight towards ours. The impact pushed our car and made it fall off the side of the cliff. 

The car did flips and I could hear the steel being destroyed. I felt so much pain and suddenly it all stopped. All I could do was lay there because my body wouldn't respond. I tried opening the door but the car was upside down and the door was stuck.

I heard car tires screeching, maybe it was the cops. That's what I hoped.

 Turning slowly I looked towards Nathan seeing he was unconscious.

"Nathan", I whispered without strength.

No answer. Was he dead?
