The Halfway Group (book 1)

Chapter 45: Goodbye

Jimmy's POV:

"Dad, what the fuck is the deal? Why do you want Haley so fucking bad?  I saw your fucking heroin or meth needles whichever it is you are on, fucking stop!"  My anger starts rising more and more.  Rachel as her arm wrapped around mine.

"None of your fucking business cumstain, your mom should have swallowed you, then I wouldn't have to deal with you.  Your sister is going to get us a good price on the market.  Lots of people need girls like her for various reasons."  Haley starts crying more and Max and Chloe are tied up in the corner.  I made damn sure they didn't do anything to Rachel. 

"You are a sick fucking bastard, you know that? I fucking can't stand you." I spit in his face and smirk as he smacks me across the face with the back of his pistol. 

"Don't you dare talk to me like that, I'm still your father." 

"The hell you are," I spit some blood out.  "You are worse of a father than you are a human being.  What kind of dad rapes and attacks their only daughter?  Sean, why are you letting him do this?  What if this was Nathan?" 

"Boy, don't you dare talk about my son.  He was too precious for this world. He had to go as well."  My eyes sting.... I may not have liked Nathan a whole lot but we were cool...

"You.... you killed your own son?"  He smirks.

"Of course I didnt. I paid someone to do it.  Your dad that is, I bailed him out and he did it for me.  Haley is gonna make us more rich."

"WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED MORE MONEY? YOU PRACTICALLY ALREADY OWN ARCADIA.  THE FUCK YOU MEAN MORE MONEY.....  JOHN WHAT THE FUCK?  YOU ARE A FUCKING TERRIBLE, SORRY, AND SAD EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING."  He goes to pistol smack me again when Haley yells at him to stop.

"Why do you always insist on hitting him? Why the fuck do you think he deserves it?  He's so friendly and loveable even with all the shit you did to him, what the hell did he do to you to make you hate him so much?"  We all stare at her and I sort of smile.  That's my sister, backing me up.  Even when she's the one who needs to be backed up. 

"You listen here slut, he wasn't supposed to be born, I only thought I was going to have a daughter, the two of you at once fucking irritated the hell out of me.  I never wanted a son. Now fucking shut up and speak only when spoken to."  He goes to pistol whip her when I materialize next to him and grab his arm.  "Don't lay a fucking hand on her ever again." 

He punches me and Sean goes to stop him but I get up and slam John into the wall, I punch him so hard his tooth embeds into my knuckle as I pull my fist back, and the tooth came with it.  He pushes me back and wipes his mouth as he knees me in the balls and then the face.  He throws me to the ground as he pushes me over with his foot and stomps on my chest.  Haley is in tears and yelling stop.  I grab his foot and pull him down as I punch his pressure point inside his calf.  "Don't fuck with me old man..." As I get up and walk away, I actually stumble back towards Rachel as she is in tears as well as Haley.  I don't hear anything behind me or see Sean but Haley's eyes grow wide and I hear the gunshot. But I'm not the one who's hit.  I turn and see Rachel grabbing her chest.... she took a bullet for me....  I forget my pain and cuts and run to her.  Chloe screams from behind her gag as she starts sobbing.  Max has a shocked expression as my rage becomes too great. Rachel smiles up at me. "I told you.... you were my ride or die baby.... I love you so much.... please save Haley...." As the last breath leaves her lips I hear Sean and John scramble out thr door and start the truck and speed away... I turn and Haley is gone.  My sister, and my girlfriend..... both gone.  Ones dead the other is kidnapped. 

"Chloe, I'm done with these assholes. But first we need to take care of Rachel...." I untie Max and Chloe as Chloe gives me a quick hug she rushes over to Rachel.  Max hugs me as well and keeps hugging me.  She knows what I lost, and she won't let me go until I cry it out. 

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!! I FUCKING HATE YOU!" I start screaming up to the ceiling.  "GOD, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME? I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU EXIST BUT IF YOU DO, FUCKING BRING RACHEL BACK!!!! BRING HALEY BACK TO ME. DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE YOU PRICK!"  I lose it and start crying.  Harder than I've ever cried before.  Chloe even leaves Rachels side to comfort me.  My entire life is gone. Everything I worked for... building the relationship with Rachel, being reunited with Haley... meeting Chloe and Max, was it all for nothing?  My life and happiness has now been ripped from my being.

"Jimmy.... I'm sorry you lost Rachel, I did too.... we will avenge her and get Haley back.... but first we need to call 911 and have them take a look at you.  You look like you are about to-" I pass out. I've lost too much blood.  I remember looking up at Chloe and Max as Max clasps her hands to her mouth and Chloe pulls out her phone.  I remember saying thank you and weakly grabbing Chloes arm, then it all went black.
