Trouble // Nick Mara AU

Epilogue

Thank you.

Jo's POV

Everything went black. I couldn't feel anything , I couldn't speak. I opened my eyes to look at what I've done.

The bullet went right in the middle of his forehead. Blood leaked down to the bridge of nose as he dropped to his knees. I looked at him , body limp , falling right on his face.

No tears , no sobs , no heart break. Just relief.

" Jo ! " Nick screamed , tears in his eyes. I couldn't apologize for what I did cause I felt nothing. I didn't feel the need for killing Christian.

Blue and red lights peak through the glass of the window. Cops surround the place , most run into the building.

" Jo you have to run , you'll go to jail. " He groaned as he tried to move. I shook my head as I dropped to my knees, gun still in my hand.

Door busts open , cops invade the small room. Eyes go to the body , to nick then to me.

" Drop the gun ! " The male officer commands , I do what he says. Throwing the gun to the other corner. I put my hands behind my head , head low.

Multiple guns are pointed at me. Other officers accompanying Nick , checking to see if he was okay. More sirens are heard.

Both hands are cuffed , Im lifted off the floor. I look at the last person I know before I'm taken into custody. Nick refuses to even look up at me. I want to cry but I remember that its what best for us anyways.

" Miss you're under arrest for the murder of Christian Diaz. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you by the court. With these rights in mind, are you still willing to talk with me about the charges against you?"

" Yes " I simply say. Im dragged out the room to outside of the building. My brothers are also being escorted out. I dragged them into this.

" Jo ? Wait no please let her go ! Let her go she's innocent ! " Ace yells out. Ceon and Lucky are already in cop cars. He struggles out of the cops grasp.

" Tell that to your father's dead body. " The officer who has a grip on me.

" What ? Thats bullshit. Jo tell them. " He looks at me with pleading eyes. I give him that look. That look that tells him everything. " No , no , no. LET HER GO YOU SON OF A BITCH. "

He kicks the officer in the stomach , runs towards me. But before he can reach me they tase him. His body jolts up , then falls to the ground.

" No ! Ace. " I sob as my brother struggles in pain. I try to go to him but instead I'm pulled into a car. More like thrown into it.

I kick the windows even though I know there's know way Im getting out.

I hate my life. I hate everything about it. I just wanna die. Die and be at peace. I cry hard as reminisce at everything that happened in the past 2-3 months.

I ran away.
I got kidnapped.
Nick got kidnapped.
My brothers tried to ruin my life.
Zion almost died.
Austin almost died.
I almost died.
New sister.
New secrets.
Lastly .. I fell in love with a person I felt like I barley knew.

What a life.

The car drove off to the precent , other cops followed. The ride was peaceful but taunting. I would have to wait a week or so to hear my sentencing. I wondered how much time I would get. If they would give me a deal or not.

I already knew who to call to help me with this. My real father. He would know what lawyer.

I killed the man I thought was my father with no regrets.

And I would do it again if I had the chance.

++

1 week later.

Guilty.

The evidence was there , there was no way I was getting out of this. I was sentenced to 10 years in prison along with parole since I had a clean record. I took the deal , if I didn't I was bout to spending more than that in this shit hole.

I sat in the room , waiting for whoever was bout to come. They said it was my last visitor until I go off to hell.

I fiddled with my fingers , looking down until I heard the door open. I was shocked but didn't show it. I took a deep breath as he sat down.

" Why are you here ? " I questioned , not breaking eye contact.

" Same reason your here or so you think you're here. " I took a minute to take in his appearance. Shorter hair , baggy clothes , he looked exhausted , a sling over his arm from where I shot him.

" And whats that Nick ? "

" Helping you. If you think this is going to help you , you're wrong. "

" That's not why I did it. Wasn't for me. " he was wrong , completely wrong. I wouldn't only do this for me.

" then why ? Just to kill him ? You know what could've went down. But no instead you fucking decided to take shit into your own hands and kill that bastard. You're fucking insane y- "

" I DID IT FOR YOU ! " I yelled. His eyes widen and his rambling stopped. " I did it for you Nick. " I sighed.

" Bullshit " He spat. He glared at me as he clenched his fist.

" Its not bullshit. I did it because I wanted us to be apart. I was putting you through a lot and they would've been after you if I didn't do this. Nobody can touch me here , not even you. " The words left my mouth and I'm guessing it made him even more angry.

" You're selfish. You was thinking about yourself when you made that decision and you know it. " He scoffed , I was now the one to get angry.

" You know what ? Fuck you. Im not gonna kiss your ass , okay ? " He has some nerve turning the tables like that. Just as I was about to call the guard a bomb is set off.

" Come here ! " I run over to Nick in chains. He surprises me by pulling a key out his mouth. I could've sworn I saw that in a movie or something.

" Nick what are you doing ? " He unlocks the cuffs around my wrists and ankles. I was in regular clothes cause I had to dress up for court , luckily it wasn't a orange jump suit.

" I'm getting you out of here. That bomb was your brother's people. They're getting out too. " I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tight. He didn't hug back. I pulled back and saw how hurt he was.

" Nick I'm so- "

" We'll talk later. " I just nodded my head. " The guards outside this door are dead. I know cause its part of the plan that I'll explain in a few. But right now we have to leave. "

" This isn't the end is it ? " I asked , I thought it was over for good. Guess not.

He grabbed my face and smashed his lips into mine. I kissed back as our lips moved in sync. I wanted this right her to last forever. He pulled away to catch our breaths.

" Its not the end but I'll be here for you. I'll be right by your side. I love you so much , so much that I can't even explain my love for you. I don't care if you're not my girlfriend , if I never made love to you or never even had a simple romantic moment. I love you and I don't wanna change a thing about that. " He exhaled loudly. I felt a lot for this boy in front of me. I'm glad he feels the same way.

" I love you nick. " I kissed him again.

So this is how real love feels ? If feels pretty damn good if you ask me.

I pulled away , he ran the pad of his thumb over my cheek. I wanted to melt in his touch right there but I knew we had to go.

" Let's go cause a bunch of trouble baby girl. " He smirked. I laughed and grabbed his hand.

And there we went on yet another journey. Or should I call it a DILEMMA ?
