Torn

Epilogue

"You sure you got everything?" Nikki asked me the next day.

We were packing up the taxi that was taking us to the airport and all I could think about was the wonderful night I had. I looked over my shoulder at Taker's house, wondering what he was going to do now that I was leaving Texas…and his life.

"Yeah…I'm sure." I said as I closed the trunk.

Nikki walked to the right side of the car and opened the back passenger door. "Are you alright?"

I was about to answer her but then spotted Taker coming out of his house. "Um…just a second."

She nodded as I walked towards the house. I was going to run but my vagina was still hurting from the night before. Taker stepped off the porch as I got closer, looking me dead in my eyes.

"You take care of yourself you hear?" he asked. "I don't want you crying when you leave here either."

I nodded and then gave him a hug, "I'll always miss you Mark."

He chuckled and rubbed my back, "I thought I'd never hear you call me that."

I giggled and stepped away from him. "Take care Taker."

He nodded and watched me go on my way. I had to admit…I sure was going to miss that bastard but I knew I was making the right decision leaving this place. I looked at him as we pulled away never to return again.

"So…why exactly are you leaving that man?" Nikki asked.

I sighed, "Because…he's dangerous…even to me."

"I guess you have a point there." She said. "John told me to make sure you stay away from him…but I don't see how I can…you clearly love him Kat."

I rubbed the back of my neck, "Yeah but I can't be with him. I have an entire future ahead of me and I need to focus on it."

She nodded and decided to drop the subject. There was nothing that was going to change my mind at this point…

When I got back to my house in Massachusetts, I found a box hidden under my bed in my old bedroom. Inside was a pair of keys, and a ton of stacks of $100 bills.

My mouth fell open as I glanced at Nikki.

"There's got to be at least one billion dollars in this box…" I told her. "How did he get all of this money?"

Nikki laughed, "Who cares girl we're getting the hell out of here!"

I smiled but inwardly I thought it was really strange that John could have all this money out of nowhere. I shrugged it off and decided not to worry about it. As far as I knew, John was in jail, Brock was in jail, and Taker and his gang were out of my life
