Chapter 26

KATHERINES POV

I was screaming at the top of my lungs but she couldn't hear me. The music was too loud, and the crowd was too big. All I could do was watch.

Just stand there and watch the last person I expected to see- the last person I wanted to see right behind her.

Bryan.

What the fuck was he doing here? I knew we shouldn't have come tonight. I had a bad feeling about tonight, and this was it. I had thought it was just me being nervous about meeting Billie's friends but no, it was him. I should've known. I should've told Billie that he's been trying to contact me recently.

But I didn't.

He would leave me voicemails saying 'he wanted to see me', that 'he would finish what he started.' Whatever that meant. All I knew is that he's been looking for me. And here he was following the one person that could lead him right to me.

I watched as Billie turned around from the bar heading towards me, without taking notice of the man right behind her. Stalking her like she was his prey.

I was undecided, what should I do? I know why he's here. He's here for me. Do I run knowing full well that he hadn't noticed me yet and I still had time... or do I stay and protect Billie from what he could do to her?

Billie was heading my way, I had to make up my mind fast. What was more worth protecting... my safety or Billie's?

My eyes met hers from across the crowded club. She flashed me a smile and held up the cups in the air letting me know she got them. That's when I knew I had to stay for her, the woman I'm in love with. I couldn't live with myself knowing he hurt her when I could've protected her.

Rather than flashing a smile back I kept yelling at her over the music.

"Behind you!"

"Look out!"

"Bryan's here!"

All she could see were my mouthed nothings. She stopped in her tracks and just mouthed back,

"What?"

And just my luck, this caught Bryan's attention. He had found me. His eyes were locked on me in an unshakable determination not to lose me.

I panicked so I just answered Billie with hand movements. I pointed in her diretcion while basically spelling out,

"BEHIND YOU!"

This time it worked. Billie sensed the panic on my face and turned around quickly, where she was met with Bryan once again. But this time I wasn't there to separate them. I didn't know what would happen.

Once she saw him he tried to shove her but she blocked it, smashing our drinks on either side of his head (clonk.sorry.) Bryan fell to the ground but was still conscious. The crowd moved away making space where whispers were passed around about the man on the floor.

BILLIES POV

I looked down at Bryan on the ground. All eyes were on me, and nearly all phones were out. Soon everyone's going to know about this. But that wasn't my main priority right now. While everyone was staring at me, I was staring at him. Specifically at what the fall had done to him.

When he had fallen his jacket moved to the side and that's when I spotted a gun in the waist band of his pants. I immediately pushed my way to the corner of the club where I had left Kat.

I made my way to her and found her sitting on the edge of her seat with her face in her hands. She was crying. I rushed to her side and she looked up at me.

" I couldn't see you anymore, I thought something terrible happened." She cried

" Something terrible is going to happen we have to go NOW!" I said reaching for her hand. I didn't have time to comfort her we had to get out of here. I winced in pain when my hand came in contact with hers.

She turned my hand over only to find blood all over it, while shards of glass were stuck in my palms.

"Oh my god are you okay?" She said worried

"Yeah I'll be fine" I answered hastily.

To be honest I didn't even notice. I couldn't even feel them, I had too much adrenaline in my veins right now. And not the good kind.

I dragged Katherine to the back exit and rushed her out the door.

I finally published this chapter. I'm sorry it's taken forever. my teachers have been on my fucking ass about homework for weeks. oh my god I hate school. but I hope you like this chapter. I'm prewriting the next one right now so I don't go and forget about this book again.
