🌹CHAPTER FOURTEEN🌹

"What?" I ask with confusion written over my face. I look at her and into her tear staining eyes to see that there is only truth hidden inside her eyes, a truth that I think she has had to bury for so long. "I don't understand" I speak. My voice just a whisper but she did hear it. I know that.

"Rose, please understand that I never meant for this to happen but it did and I'm so sorry..." She trails off but I take her hand and hold it tightly. Assuring her that I'm here with her. "No... no, Lena don't ever feel sorry for your feelings. You can't blame yourself for feeling this" I tell her.

If I could panic I would be right now but I remain calm. Sometimes that is a curse while other times it's a blessing. "I just didn't expect you to say this" I tell her but she only shakes her head. "I wanted you for myself because I love you" Lena says to me.

She snatches her hand from me and backs away. "You have no idea what I had to do in order to keep you from me. How much money I've had to spend but don't worry, I never run out of it" She tells me and I give her a confused look once more.

I never wanted her to sell her body for these things. It's horrible and I'm so ashamed that I never knew this before. I'm the worst friend to ever exist in the whole world. Lena is angry. She is pacing around the room in anger. I open my mouth to speak but she beats me to it.

"It's not easy finding someone to take the fall for you. Paying a blackmailer. Do you know how much money I had to get for that?" She asks me and I lightly gasp. "Fifty thousand dollars, and it took me months to get it but I set my plan in action and it worked... until he merges his company with yours, brining you closer to him" She says.

Then a laughter comes from her throat, laughter through her anger and I look at her with fear in my eyes. This isn't the Lena that I know. I'm not sure who she is right now but I know she has changed, somehow. But, I will help her in any way that I can.

"Killing him was the only thing that I could think of but soon he will be dead and you will be all mine" She whispers, her voice high yet so dangerous. I don't even recognize it but then again Lena is slowly becoming a person that I don't recognize myself.

The tears running down my face fall on my clothes as I sit in the wheelchair. "Lena... listen to me... murder is wrong. I'm here with you and I won't be going back. Please, don't kill him" I beg her. I can feel my heart breaking because of I can't imagine him dying.

It took everything in me when we were shot but now I must do everything that I can to protect him. But I also need to make sure to help Lena on the way because she needs help. "I don't have a choice, Rose, he will always be an obstacle in my plan and he needs to go away" She tells me as she takes the wheelchair and brings it to the bed.

"Now, I think it's best that you go to bed and let me worry about him" She says kindly to me as if everything that she said doesn't even matter. I open my mouth to speak but before I have the change to even let words out I feel a sharp punch in my shoulder and then the darkness takes over me.

A scream forces me to open my eyes and I'm met with Lena against the wall. She has a phone to her ear and anger staining her face like never before. I don't think she knows that I'm awake. I lie still on the bed and make sure to keep my eyes closed while I listen to her.
