Thirty Five

When my feet hit the bottom of the stairs with Hanna behind me I scan the room for my friends. Sam has his tongue down Mia's throat. I notice Damien standing in the kitchen taking shots with Bailey. My eyes move around the room but there's no sign of Ace. I mean there never is, he hides or he takes a girl and disappears.

Hanna slides her hand into mine, pulling me from my thoughts. "Now what?" She smirks with a twinkle in her eye. Fuck. I can't believe she just did that, I mean I didn't expect that from her and there she was blowing my mind. Smiling, I grip her hand. "I want to show you something," I replied softly. "Didn't you already show me lots just now" she winks at me.

Jesus. Grabbing a handful of her hair I yank her head towards me. "This is something different" I whisper. She smiles, allowing me to lead her out of the condo. Away from the half naked people all over my kitchen and living room. Sliding into the front seat of my car once Hanna is buckled in I slam into first and and speed out of my parking spot.

I glance over at Hanna as she stares out the window, probably wondering where I'm taking her. Shifting into second, I take a corner quickly. Averting my eyes from Hanna I stare at the road ahead as I drive towards my favourite place in this entire world. Pulling up next to the river I put the car in park turning it off.

"Where are we?" Hanna whispers, climbing out and follow me towards the river bank. "I used to come here as a kid. When everything got tough and I didn't want to be around my father anymore. This was my safe place" I whisper staring off towards the dark river. I feel Hanna's hand slip into mine gently squeezing it. "It's okay. Your here with me" she whispers.

A smile takes over my face as I look down at her. Out of all the women I could have wound up with she's the one that caught my heart. I'm so unbelievably lucky. Her green eyes peer up at me through the darkness as she watches me with a smile. "You know, when I started tutoring you. I never guessed this is where we would be months later" she whispers softly. Gently I lean down and press my lips to her.

Gripping the back of her thighs I lift her into the air. Her legs wrapping around my waist. Laying one hand on my cheek, I continue to kiss her. My lips craving hers. Hanna's nails dig into the back of my neck as she pulls my face closer. Needing more. "Well, well, we'll. Look who's not standing on his own territory" a deep voice rings through the air.

Hanna's arms grip onto me. Gently I set her down, wrapping an arm around her, pulling her close. "I thought after everything that went down at Hayden's you'd stay away from my turf. I was wrong. Wasnt i?" Spooner's voice fills the clearing. Shit. Shit. I had forgotten this river was on Spooner's gang's territory. Hanna's whimper sounds beside me.

My eyes glimpse a black hoodie as he walks into the moonlight showing his face. "So, what the hell are you doing here?" He growls. Hanna sticks to my side like glue as Spooner gets closer to us. "I forgot, I forgot this was on your territory. I just wanted to-." I cut myself off not wanting to mention Hanna's name. "I see, I see. Your lucky your standing boy. I should kill you for what happened that night" his voice unleashes like venom.

Hanna presses into my side trying to hide herself. "I understand that. I will stay away from here, just let us go" I whisper. Spooner laughs, he's fucking laughing. "Let you go? No, no. Death would have been too easy, I think you should suffer" his replies his eyes shooting to Hanna who's practically apart of my body by now.

"You really- you don't want to do this" I argue. Spooner steps up to me, nose to nose. "Actually, I do. You don't deserve happiness. Taking it away is the better idea" he smiles wickedly. One of Spooner's goons wrenches Hanna way from me, my first instinct is to attack. Until two other goons grab onto my arms and hold me back.

"Please! You don't want to do this!" Her rippled scream fills the clearing. I can see her, I have no idea where she is. She could be two feet in front of me or miles away. A giant light fills the clearing as Spooner lights a fire. "Much, more like it" he smiles to himself. My eyes drop to the ground, Hanna's on the ground next to one of Spooner's animals feet.

I pull on my arms, needing to get to her. The two goons behind me hold me back tightly keeping me away from her. "Now. What should I do" Spooner grins kneeling in front of Hanna and smiling. She flinched away hitting the mans legs behind her. One of the goons tosses something silver towards Spooner. To my horror I realize it's a knife.

"Please!" Hanna screams. A rippled growl escapes my lips as I watch Spooner. His face turns towards me and he grins. Switching the knife open he leans into Hanna. "Don't scream, I might let you live" he smiles. A snarl rages out of my lips as I trying to pull myself free. "Hold her!" Spooner demands. The large goon behind Hanna grabs her arms and holds her still as Spooner leans closer.

I hear a slice as the knife cuts into Hanna's hip. Her scream ripples through the air as my heart tears and tears. Snarling I lunge forward only to be held back again by the two goons behind me. He moves the knife up to her stomach and eyes it causiously. "Stop! She's pregnant!" I yell trying to pull out of there grip. The moment the words leave my lips the goons drop my arms stunned as I race towards Hanna.

Spooner eyes me closely as I knee beside him. "Okay, Saint" he turns to me and tosses the knife back to one of his bitches. "When that child, girl or boy is thirteen. You bring them to me. That's the deal, unless you want her dead" he smiles up at me. Chills break my body as I think over this offer. "Fuck! Fine!" I growl, pulling Hanna into my arms. Spooner grins at me getting to his feet.

"Don't disappoint me" he growls, snapping his fingers for his dogs to follow him back into the trees. Picking up Hanna in my arms I carry her back to the car, setting her in the car. Once I'm in the drivers seat I speed off towards the condo. "My baby! How dare you give it away as a bargain!" Hanna screams through the car. I grip the steering wheel to control my anger as we drive back to my condo.

Hanna's green eyes burn daggers through my skin as she glares at me. "Jesus, Hanna! I'm not giving are child away. How else was I supposed to get you out of there?" I growl slamming into park outside the condo. She flashes me a worried look as I rest my head against the steering wheel. "But- what are you going to do?" She whispers.

"Me and Damien, have thirteen years and seven months to come up with that plan" I reply softly lifting my head from the wheel. Hanna watches me as a tear falls from her eye. What the hell am I going to do. The entire thought stays in my brain as me and Hanna enter the condo. Even after I clean her wound, the thought doesn't go away. I won't give my child to that prick.

Closing my eyes later that night as we lay in bed I let my thoughts take over. I'll give him me as a replacement. It'll all be fine. It'll be fine.
