a beautiful lie (continued/ original by winternightz)

Fight And Flight p2

I duck behind the car door and hear bullets whizz past me.
"WHERE THE FUCK IS THE HELI?" Gustav shouts to Tom
"JUST WAIT" Tom shouts back
More rounds of bullets go off and not long after I hear shrieking.

I come up from behind the door to see five of Romans men dead and Roman holding Vive, Star and Lotty in his arms.
"Look who i've got Crimson." Roman says taunting me.
"Tom don't shoot" I say while walking towards the girls, their mouths have been duct taped shut and their hands are tied together in rope.
They all look at me with their eyes wide open in fear, pools of tears streaming out of their eyes
"Let them go." I demand
"Now why should I do that hm?" Roman says he looks at me dead in the eyes while grimacing
"They haven't done anything wrong Roman. Let them go. Im warning you."
"Come home my love, if you do the girls wont die."

Im completely torn. I turn to look at Tom who's standing there tilting his head down at me, then I look to Gustav who's shaking his head, I look to Georg who's beckoning me back and then finally to Bill who's not moving at all.
I turn back to the girls who are all shrieking as loud as they can behind the duct tape.

Roman peels the duct tape off of Lottys mouth
"GO CEE! LEAVE DONT COME BACK JUST GET AWAY! DONT WORRY ABOUT US PLEASE JUST GO." she breaks down into tears, I know shes only saying that so I get away safely but I also know that none of them will make it out alive if I do decide to leave. All of them nod their heads frantically in agreement. It fucking kills me to see them willing to end their lives for me even after we hadn't spoken for a while. The spark in their eyes is no longer there and all that remains is pure terror.

"well, looks like Im deciding for you then."
Everything moves in slow motion as I watch Roman shoot Vive in the face, then Star and finally Lotty. I collapse onto the floor screaming on the top of my lungs, all of their faces are split in half and their brains are splattered everywhere. I crawl on top of them hugging them just like I did when they'd come for sleepovers. I scream and scream until my throat goes dry and I cant physically make any more sound come out. Im suddenly filled with a gut wrenching feeling and I throw up all over the floor. I use my sleeve to wipe my mouth before I touch Stars hand,
the warmth in her body slowly disappears.

"YOU FUCKING MONSTER" I shout. I stand up in romans face he presses the gun to my temple
"YOU ARE A FUCKING MONSTER" I don't care about the fact that at any given moment he could pull the trigger and shut me up for good. All I care about is my only friends laying sprawled out on the ground
"these innocent women wouldn't of died if you had just made your mind up and come home with me." He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear and I shove his hand away from my face
"HAVEN'T YOU PUT ME THROUGH ENOUGH!?"
"Hush now darling. Come home where you belong" The more he talks, the more I want to murder him in cold blood.
"THAT PLACE WAS NEVER MY HOME. YOU REALLY THOUGHT YOU COULD ASSULT ME AND EXPECT ME TO COME RUNNING BACK INTO YOUR ARMS? NO FUCKING WAY."

"He did what to you?" Tom starts walking towards us while raising his gun again
"I would stop where you are if I were you Tom"
Roman says while pressing the gun harder into the side of my head.
"I hate you." I say, loosing my voice
"I fucking hate your guts." My whole world crumbles to pieces around me and I clutch my chest as I begin to cry even harder, my mouth starts drying up I try to swallow lump in my throat. My head starts pounding from how much Ive been screaming and dizziness takes over

Suddenly, a bullet from behind Roman fires straight into the back of him, and he coughs blood onto me before his limbs give out and he collapses onto the floor. No matter how evil it sounds, I cant help but smile as he finally stops talking. His eyes roll into the back of his head before he gurgles some more, his leg seizes up and he coughs once more before going completely still.

And then silence.

I start to fall backwards and Tom catches me from behind, before laying me onto the floor.
My whole body shakes violently as I silently cry

John reveals himself from behind Romans car, Bill and Gustav go to thank him while Georg and Tom sit next to me as I slam the back of my head into the concrete. Why? Is all I can ask. Why does this always have to happen to me. What did I ever do to deserve this kind of pain? No one can muster up anything to say to me to calm me down, they all just stare at me as I roll around on the floor while I rip chunks of my hair out.

The sound of a helicopter landing fills the silence.

Bill, Gustav and Georg load their stuff into it while Tom waits by my side.
"Come on guys, The cops will be here soon." Bill says patting Tom on the back.
I drag myself up and I tread back over to the girls,
"Im so sorry. Im sorry. You didn't deserve that. You're safe now, far far away from all of this shit" I say to them, sort of expecting Lotty to say something stupid using the word 'soy' while pulling funny faces, and for Vive to stroke my head and tell me everything's going to be okay. But theres nothing. They're just lying there dead.

It takes everything I have left in me to pull myself away from their lifeless bodies, but Bill is right, the cops will be here any minute now.

I get into the helicopter, and as we take off I take one last look at the women I considered to be my best friends. Their lifeless bodies slowly becoming tiny dots as we ascend into the sky. I turn back around and put my head in my hands.
As we fly away from the building, the police roll onto the scene and find everyones bodies.
Yet the girls probably wont even be identified, as they have all been pronounced dead or missing and re named by Roman, just to be put through more torture and pain before dying for real this time.
