Her Only Hope

CHAPTER 16

Jason's POV

I could hear the way her words broke at the end of each sentence.

The way her eyes held so much pain and so many tears. I just wanted to go and console her but I knew it was not the time.

After she walked away I was going after her but Damon held me back. His arm became in contact with mine which I removed immediately.

"Get off." I said in a deep and powerful voice which made everyone stare at us right away.

"Jason." His face was neutral but something in my mind knew there was something wrong. "We need to talk."

"Right now it's not the time." I clenched my jaw and gave him a look which Damon already knew I wasn't in the mood to deal with his shit.

"I know, but Daniel is still kept hostage and sooner or later Elijah will search for him." He said. I could see he didn't want anything involved in this war between the Kings and Elijah's mob.

"Talk to Lorenzo. He will know what to do." I said and walked away.

"He is asking for Rose. Daniel wants to talk to her."

I know right now it's not the time for her to deal with him. She is already dealing with all this funeral shit.

My face became emotionless and I just walked to the exit going towards Rose. I walked outside the salon thinking she could be there but Rose was nowhere to be found.

The guy who was in charge of the keys told me she left in my car.

Fuck.

Right now it's not the time to leave her alone. No one should be alone in this type of state especially if she is in her house all by herself.

And right now after Damon told me about Daniel I know his men will look for him.

Daniel is a member of Elijah and Camerons gang. But since I killed Camerons men Elijah will be the only one looking for him.

But still, Elijah is really powerful and I don't want to risk something worse to happen.

I asked Jones to lend me a car and I immediately went towards her house. I opened the door and her heels were on the floor.

Loud sounds and screams were coming from upstairs and I ran fast towards the screaming.

I opened Connors door and his room was a mess. Things were all over the floor, pictures, books, pillows, everything. And there she was.

Her small body was kneeled on the floor crying her life out. Her hands were punching the floor and her screams filled the entire room. I kneeled in front of her and hugged her tightly. Her arms around my neck and mine her waist.

I have never seen her cry like this. Not with such pain. I could feel her tears on my shoulder and her body around mine.

I didn't speak. I didn't say a word knowing it will not make anything better. I knew right now was the time to be with her and not leave her side.

"This is so fucked up." Her voice broke at the end of her sentence feeling her tears fall more on my shoulder.

As I watched Rose shake with grief, tears flowing unchecked, there was part of me breaking too. If she wasn't the same then neither would I be.

That's what happens when you love someone, right? Their happiness is a part of your own.

And right now my heart is broken for her.

We stayed in the same position for a long time and her crying came to a stop. She looked at me and my heart broke again.

Her eyes were swollen and I saw her knuckles red from something she had hit and I don't blame her.

A year ago when she got taken, my anger became uncontrollable. My mind only reminded me of her and the images of Rose being in that horrible place made me angrier.

"I am sorry." Her words came out in a whisper. She always apologizes for foolish things like this.

"Don't apologize for this." My words came out real. She looked at me and some kind of relief showed in her face.

Rose has always apologized for feeling vulnerable around me or her brother. But that is nothing to feel sorry about. Things like this happen and if you don't release your grief, at some point in your life you will let all your feelings go.

I hold her against my body and I just stare at the wall, filled with holes and some little blood. I close my eyes breathing deeply thinking of what to do right now.

There's a lot of things going on at this moment.

Daniel will be searched at some point and Elijah won't resist to get Rose join his mob.

I know he wants her.

He needs powerful people to rule his empire.

And if he accomplishes that,

He could never be stopped.
