It was just a mission, a small stupid mission. Make her fall in love with you. Get her to trust you. Then bring her to the COC. And most importantly DON'T fall in love with her.
I broke the biggest rule an assassin could learn.
I fell for her. I fell for her smile, her gorgeous blue eyes, her laugh, her love for her friends and family, her determination to keep everyone she loved safe. I fell for everything that made her who she was. And at the time I knew I had, but I couldn't do anything about it.
And as I watch my mother torture her for hours on end, I knew I had shattered her heart. She would never be complete, never the same again. Her heart would never fully recover. It would be scarred forever.
She never flinched or screamed. And it pissed my mom off, and Cammie knew it. But when my mom finally stopped and left the room leaving only Cammie and I, she finally showed some emotion. She looked up at me with tears streaming down her face. Hurt, betrayal, and anger flashed through her eyes.
"I loved you Goode." she said. I flinched because of the anger radiating in her voice. She let her head drop back to her chest. I could see the tears fall from her face and stain her shirt. I just wanted to go back to the day my mom gave me the mission and say no. But I couldn't.
"Was it all an act? Every word you said, every kiss, every hug? Every time you said 'I love you'? Did you mean anything? Because I did. Everything from our first meeting in the elevator up until you let your mom capture me. I loved you Goode." she said.
"It was just a mission." I said. I just chuckled and headed for the door.
"I hate you Goode. I hope you burn in hell!" she said. My face fell for a second before I put up my mask.
"I already am Gallagher Girl. I already am." I said as I walked out the door. The job comes first. I just walked away from the only good thing that ever happened to me.
But I'm an assassin, and assassins don't fall in love, so why should I care. Because I have shattered my heart as well.
