TALIA'S POV
I can't stop crying, I let the hot tears fall freely down to my jaw.
"It's okay, Talia, crying won't solve the problem." Ivy my friend says.
"Why are you telling me to stop crying ivy, everything I've worked for is all gone, Jay hates me now, I've lost him and I don't want to." I reply under my breath.
"It's okay Lia." She says stroking my shoulders sympathetically.
Sniffing, I stop crying for a while and take a stick of cigarette, I lit it up and puts it in my mouth. I smoke deeply, the thin smoke puffing out through my nose like they are my pain and agony, I'm so depressed and frustrated.
Sighing, I say to Ivy, "Get me the boys." I say staring into nothing.
"Why should I call them?" She asks, "Call them, give them Mia's picture and tell them to finish nher up, she deserves no mercy." I say angrily still smoking deeply.
"Wait.... Are you trying to say she's the one behind you and Jayson's breakup, but how and why?" She asks me again.
Remembering that night at the club, and remembering the photos from Jayson's phone, I say, "That's because she was the only one who saw me that day, Ivy, she was strongly against me bringing Andrew to the club, she confronted me and I'm sure when I left I did not notice her taking pictures of the both of us to blackmail us." I say sharply.
"Okay, so they should beat her up and warn her or what?" Ivy asks and I scoff, "Beat her up, nah nah, I want her dead, let them do the both, beat her till she bleeds, then kill her." I say smiling evilly.
Thinking to myself, I say "You messed with the wrong person Mia, in your next life, you will learn how to mind your business."
MIA'S POV
Its late already, and I decide to clean up the bar ad close for the night.
When I'm done, I pick up my bag and my hoodie, and leave after closing the bar securely.
I walk down the cold quiet street, my hoodie keeping me warm.
I keep walking further down the alley.
Looking up not to far away from me, I spot three hefty looking boys, reaching them I see that they are actually smoking.
Fear grips me, and I think of turning back, but it's to late, I've already been sighted.
"Hey you, get back here." I hear one saying to me, but I don't obey and I pick race, running as fast as my legs can carry me, hoping they don't follow suit.
My thoughts are in vain, as I hear their footsteps running towards me on the cobbled street.
Loosing concentration, I trip and fall and twist my ankle, ouch!
I try getting up, but I can't, the boys come closer, and I look at them and sight some familiarity.
I know these boys, they are Talia's boys, did Jayson show her the pictures? Did they break up? Did she figure out that I sent the pictures, and then send her boys after me?
All these questions and more pop up in my head without answers, did she send them to beat or kill me, no, no I can't die like this.
They come to where I am still bent over on the floor, and one of them removes my hoodie and grips my hair so tightly, it hurts.
"You think you can run away huh?" He says while giving me a hot slap, which makes my lips swell up.
They push me hard on the floor and one of them gives me a kick in my tummy again.
"Argghh!!" I scream, I can't endure this pain for much longer, "Please, what do you want from me, take everything, don't kill me please I beg you." I say.
All my pleading falls on deaf ears as one of them gives me a punch on the face again, the one gripping my hair brings out a gun and I gasp.
This is the end for me, "Please, please don't shoot me, don't kill me......"
He pulls the trigger, I hear a deafening sound and boom black out.
JAYSON'S POV
My eyes are becoming watery.
Oh no, no, how will I face Cherry now, what will I say, what will I do, or should I keep pretending.
Will she ever forgive me, for leaving her all this years?
I drink straight from the bottle I selected from my wine bar.
I think I'm drunk already, but there's nothing I want to do about, I have no intention of stopping anytime soon.
I drink and drink to stupor and eventually pass out on my sofa.
