“I’m not—”
“Get on your fucking knees!” he shouts, pushing the barrel of the gun further into the side of her face, smashing her cheek.
“Okay. Okay,” I rush out, lowering myself to my knees, and I interlock my fingers behind my head as if I’m being arrested.
“Saint, don’t—”
“Shut the fuck up, bitch,” he growls at her.
“No,” she shouts, and the guy behind her places his free hand over her mouth once more.
The next second, I feel a gun at the back of my head as a voice commands, “Hands behind your back.”
I do as I’m told, knowing I have to buy some time. The guys will be in here any second to save her. Kashton knows she is the main priority. A zip tie is pulled tightly around my wrists, locking them behind my back.
“That’s better,” the man holding her says cheerfully. “Now let’s get started.”
“Let her go,” I demand, and they both laugh. “I said let her go!” I scream, my voice echoing through the house. “You don’t want her. You want me. Here I am. Take me.”
“I have something better planned.” The man lowers his gun from her bloody face and grabs her right hand. He places the gun in it and wraps her fingers around the trigger.
“No. No. No,” she rushes out, and he laughs once again.
“Shoot him.”
“No. I won’t…”
“You’ve done it before. Come on, shoot him.”
“NO!”
“Ashtyn?” I bark, getting her watery eyes to focus on mine. “Do it.”
Her breath catches, and she shakes her head.
“Come on, sweetheart. Be a good girl and shoot me.”
Sobs wrack her naked body. I hear the cock of a gun and watch the man behind her point it at the back of her head. “Shoot him, or I shoot you.”
“Do it,” I growl, and she shakes her head. “Fucking shoot me, Ashtyn. Come on!”Come on, sweetheart. Do it for me.
She just stares at me, tears running down her bloody and swollen face. “I…can’t,” she says softly.
“Please,” I beg, my chest tightening. I walked into the house, ready to die to save her. “It’s okay.” I nod.
She licks her busted lips. “I love you.”
It’s the last thing she told me when she shot me at Carnage. I give her a soft smile, accepting my fate. “I love you too, sweetheart.” I take a deep breath, knowing it’ll be my last, but I watch her close her eyes and turn the gun on herself as she pulls the trigger.
The sound is deafening to my ears.
I’m shoved to the floor, and someone sits on top of me. My scream echoes through the hall. She falls to her knees, and the man behind her laughs. “Fuck. That was poetic. True love right there.” He kicks her back, and her body falls to the cold floor.
I’m screaming her name, hoping that she responds in some way, but she lies there unmoving. The man kicks the gun out of her hand and in our direction. “For a bitch, you’ve got some balls.” He fists her hair and leans down, gently kissing her tear-streaked cheek.
Her lifeless eyes are still open, and I pray she’s just in shock. That she didn’t kill herself for me. I was the one prepared to die. It’s always been me. Not her.
“It makes me horny.” He chuckles
