Desperado

part 61

sophia starts to cry and my hands start to shake. i look down at her, i don't blame if joey would chose her but i can't die before seeing my kids first

"40 seconds" marvin says

i stare at joey as he starts to panic. we've fought so much these past couple months but we learned to forgive each other, we went through hell and back  together

he would always tell me how i saved him, how i taught him how to love and be a better person. but when your sister who you thought was died comes into your life who's been tortured you forgot about all the love and start to feel anger, his sister has been hidden here and he has no idea

i know he's mad at himself for giving up, he thinks it's his fault his sister is here. his emotions are all over the place and now he has to pick between his first love and his sister

"20 seconds"

i can't believe this is happening, after everything we've been through this has to be the hardest thing we've ever done

after seeing what sophia had to go through, i can't imagine my kids having to go through the same thing

there is so much to thing about, so much to unravel but with only 20 seconds left, you start to panic

"10 seconds"

my body gets heavy thinking about the name he's about to call in the next 10 seconds. i don't wanna die, not yet

i still have another 8 months left till i see my new baby and i haven't even got to see my kids. they must be terrified right now

why hasn't anyone found us yet? it feels like we've been in this room for hours now. i'm just waiting for anyone to break into this room and save us even if it's carter or leo

"5 seconds"

joey opens his mouth to say something but he's scared

"2 secon-"

"elena!" he shouts

my heart stops, literally. my body goes numb and everyone's eyes go on me. sophia takes a deep breath

a laugh almost comes out of marvins mouth, "elena?" he's even shocked

i don't dare to look at joey. i keep my eyes on the floor. my entire body starts to shake

joey doesn't say anything, marvin walks over to me and i feel his hand on my shoulder and the gun being pressed around my head

tears start flooding down my cheeks, "please don't do this"

i can't believe he shouted my name. i shouldn't be thinking this but he didn't even know his sister existed till a few minutes ago

joeys pov

my entire body starts to shake as my eyes go back and fourth from elena to marvins finger on the trigger

my sister looks like she's calmed down now. i try everything i can to get out of these ropes. ropes were the easiest thing to get out of, why are these so hard?

"let me see my kids before you shoot me" elena whispers

tears fall down my face, i watched my best friend die in front of me and now someone i love. the love i have for my sister is unmatched, even though elena has saved my life and been amazing to me, i can never give my sister up

the door breaks open and as soon i turn my head to see who it was the lights go out and the sound of a gun shot echos in the room

"no!" i shout, "fuck"

i feel the ropes getting pulled off me and i try to run to where i last saw elena but feel my arms getting pulled

"we have to go joey" the familiar voice says

"i need to see elena" i cry

"it's too late, let's go" he pulls me out the dark room

"elena" i shout again but get no response back

we're back in the dark green hallway, my face facing the dark room

"sophia" i whisper shout

"what?" leo looks at me as we run

"my sister is in there" my voice is gone, everything is about to hit me but my brain is too slow

it's not processing through my mind. this all feels like a nightmare

"no she's not" leo pushes me into a room and quickly
locks it

"leo my sister is in that fucking room! let me get her!" i yell at him as he covers the door

"it's too dangerous they'll kill you"

i pull my hair and go down on the floor to catch my breath, "leo!" i say through my teeth, "they... they- fuck!" i shout so loud the windows in the room shake

leo's pov

what has gotten into him, "you have to stay hidden here. lexi and carter are going to get elena. diana is fighting off some people and if you leave this room people are going to know where you are"

i've never been scared of joey but he looks absolutely crushed right now, like someone just gave him really bad news

"and we f-found your kids and they're being sent to the hotel. they're safe" i say in hopes that it'll calm him down

i noticed he's crying now, blood and tears dripping on the floor, "y-you don't understand"

i know that voice, he's about to black out and when he blacks out he does things that he doesn't even know

they last for 10 minutes, he started getting them ever since elena lost her memory. lexi told me about elenas memory and only me

joey takes a deep breath before standing on his feet and walking towards me, his arms wrap around my neck and holds me up against the door, "elenas dead leo"

i furrow my brows trying to say something but his hands are blocking my air pipe

"my sister sophia was in there and now they took her, ethans dead and so is elena" his eyes burn into mine

"you're going to let me handle this or i'm going to kill you" he throws me on the floor and i try catching my breath

he looks over at me slowly, his eyes go dark and a smile forms on his face, and with that he opens the door and runs out
