Hate to love

Chapter 44

Savannah's POV

I lay down on my bed, my eyes still blurred with tears.

That had been my routine for the past week.

Crying myself to sleep.

Re mourning my sister again.

My closed wound had been re opened.

And it hurt.

All through the plane ride home, Devon avoided me.

Because he had tried to explain but I wasn't ready to listen.

I didn't believe anything he was saying.

He confessed to shooting her. That's all I wanted to know.

The autopsy reports proved that she was shot three times on the heart.

And that's how Devon was taught to kill.

My boyfriend's first blood was my sister.

But that wasn't what hurt me the most.

What hurt me was my heart was betraying me.

Because deep down, I missed him.

Flashback.

I ran out immediately Donnie said those words.

I couldn't breathe.

The snow crunched underneath my foot as tears streamed down my face.

"Savannah! Savannah wait!" I heard him call for me.

But I couldn't look at him.

Not after that. Not after he killed my best friend.

"I didn't do it!" He yelled.

I stopped and looked at him.

"Did your father lie to me?" I asked, hope lighting in my eyes.

Devon had never lied to me before.

I believed him completely.

He looked down. "I shot her. I shot her three times but it wasn't intentional. She was creeping in the bushes. I thought she was a spy. Or worse, a bear."

I felt my heart breaking.

"So you killed her."

"Savannah I didn't. My dad was there. I begged him to take her to the hospital. He said no. But I begged him. Then I made a deal with him. I told him if he took her to the hospital, I would take over the gang and take the fall."

"What do you mean by that?"

"For the sake of your sister Savannah, because I didn't want her to die, I did a blood oath with my dad, that the day our gang was caught. I wouldn't mention his name. I wouldn't bring him in. All the kills, everything, would be my fault. We rushed her to the hospital. The doctors said she was okay."

I laughed bitterly.

"She wasn't okay Dev. She died and guess what? The autopsy said your shots killed her. So you should have saved your blood. Because I'm going to turn you in to the police."

I didn't mean that.

I really didn't but it was too late.

I saw his walls build up in seconds.
