The Assassin's Weakness✔️

15. Why

When I woke up Kai was nowhere to be found but I later found a note he wrote to me when I started doing my homework. He said that he had gone home to check on his friends and that he wants me at his by dusk. Completely ignoring that I am a school child who has school tomorrow. If I ignore him, he will come here huffing and puffing his chest but I get to see him mad.

I chose to stay in my house after I was done doing my homework. I cleaned up and I even made scones. It was now dark outside and I knew my phone had missed calls but I left it upstairs.

It is now nine pm and still no sign of Kai, I guess he saw through my guise. I switch off the lights and I head to my room partially expecting him to be on my bed but he was not there one thing I was right about were the missed calls, he left twelve of them but no text messages.

Was he mad or playing with me? I have no clue but if I sleep I can call him tomorrow and ask him. I try to glue the pieces together but too much is missing and I fall asleep trying to figure out what went wrong.

When I get to school I notice Kai waiting outside the gate for me. I see him waiting in the car and I am unsure whether to get in or not. I take the risk but part of me is scared he is with someone in the car and he is trying to make me jealous or even showing me that I am replaceable.

"I saw your missed calls." He has sunglasses on, maybe he is hungover because he went to a strip club and got a lap dance and everything.

"And yet I got no response as to why you did not answer." He slowly takes the glasses off to look at me. "You know what do what you want to do." What does he mean by that?

"What do you mean by that?" He puts the glasses on and starts the car.

"Get to class." I walk out of his car and I get to class but I can not focus because of what he said.

"Kamo, did you see how badly Sam is hit?" What is everyone on about?

"What do you mean?" I have not looked at Sam since I got to school, I was distracted by Kai and I did not want to look at him.

"Someone hit him on Friday and he is busy telling people who it is in the cafeteria." Quickly grabbing my books I head to the cafeteria.

He is sitting with his jock friends, he looks terrible. He appears not to have any broken bones but his face looks horrible. He looks like he got stitches as well. He stands up and starts walking in my direction I head the other way.

"Kamo, wait, please." Should I? Probably.

"What?" He looks at me scanning my body, for what, I do not know.

"Your boyfriend did this to me, has he hurt you too?" Kai would never, he just is not the type.

"You are lying, I do not know why I am listening to you." I turn to walk back to the library.

"You refuse to believe what is right in front of your eyes, he is not the one for you Kamo." He is hurt, do not do it. Walk away, walk away. "Leave before he hurts you too if he already hasn't." I want to punch him too but I keep walking away, walking away from conflict.

Kaiser would never do such a thing, he is too much of a sweetheart to hurt someone like that, right?

Sat through the day wondering whether Kai did that to Sam. He could have, there is that possibility but I need to fetch the news from the horse's mouth.

After school, I went straight to his house. There are cars outside so I guess his friends are here, good they should be able to tell me what the hell is going on. I loudly knock on the door when I hear no one respond, I violently open the door which thankfully was not locked. I walk into the living room and two men are pointing a gun at Kai. I want to scream but I am lost for sound.

"Kitten, I want you to go upstairs and lock the door." Without hesitation, I head to his room and I lock the door. What the hell is going on? Why does Kai have guns, what kind of people is he entangled with and why are they pointing a gun at him? What did he do?

A few minutes later I hear two gunshots, was it Kai? Did they kill him? Are they going to kill me? My parents are coming home today, they will be waiting for me. I never got to tell them I love them or that they are my world and my life. God, please spare my life, I will tell them I love them every day just give me a chance to.

"Kamo, open the door." Kai? He isn't dead. I scramble to open the door. Once open the reality of why he is alive sinks in. He is covered in blood splatters. I back away from him, creating space between us. "I am not going to hurt you." His voice sounds reassuring but his shirt screams of terror

"You murdered two people and beat up Sam, didn't you?" He steps closer to me.

"They were going to kill me, it is self-defence. Sam is lucky he got away with his life, he hurt you, Kleine. I was protecting you like I always aim to." I take another step back before I hit the wall of his bedroom.

"You could have called the police and not hit Sam, my honour does not need defending!" He does not step closer.

"Do not scream at me. I could not call the police, by the time they would have gotten here I would have been dead, you want me dead?"

"Of course not but not at the expense of other people." He steps closer and his hands grab my arms. "Let me go, Kai." He shakes his head.

"If I let you go, you will never come back." He is right, he is crazy and a murderer.

"If you do not let me go then I will hate you forever." His eyes look watery before he lets me go and storms off into the shower and I run for my life.
