Chapter 10
BANG!
Tara's heart stopped...
omg...he shot me...I'm gonna die...I cant believe it...
She could hardly breathe, and felt like heart stomach was in knots. This was it, this was her last moments on Earth all thanks to an ignorant, jealous, psychotic and possessive man. She inhaled deeply, however for some reason, she did'nt feel any different than before. She swallowed heavily and looked up at Randy, who was staring back at her in shock.
He was breathing heavily, looking deep in her eyes. His hand was placed over his chest, blood dripping down his shirt. He inhaled one last breath and collapsed onto the floor.
Tara turned around quickly, to her relief was the man who has safed her life. She smiled gracefully, ,and Jonathan smiled back, rushing over to help her up. She sighed once more, there was no one on Earth she had been more happy to see.
Though grateful, she couldnt understand one thing,
"You guys were friends," she said, "Why did you shoot him?"
Jonathan looked down at the floor, grinning and finally he replied,
"Your innocent...you dont deserve to die."
She embraced him tightly, headed to her bedroom, and packed her bags.
Before long, they were downstairs outside the apartment building. Jonathan hailed a cab and piled her items into the trunk. He walked up to her, giving another hug.
"Why dont you come with me?" said Tara, "You seem so lonely here."
He smiled quietly,
"I'll be okay,"
"Are you sure?" she asked, "I really dont want you by yourself. Why dont you just come with me? We can find a place together downtown."
He nodded slowly, ushering her off,
"You should go, " he said, "Dont worry about me, I'll be fine."
He watched her climb into the cab, and closed the door, giving one final as it drove off down the street. Then he slowly turned back into to building and up the stairs to Randy's apartment.
As soon as he walked iside, he noticed the empty living room. He sighed and made his way into the kitchen.
"I'm sorry," he mumbled, "I had to do it. I couldn't watch you take another innocent person's life. She did absolutely nothing wrong, you just got really obssessed over her thats all."
Randy appeared into the hallway, shirtless and with a small bandage over the right side of his chest near his shoulder,
"Well played," his voiced boomed, making Jonathan jump, "You aimed it at the right place."
Jonathan smiled,
"It took some research, but I figured I would just point it away from your heart so you wouldnt die. "
He grabbed a cup of coffee, passed it to Randy and took one for himself,
"The best part is, she really thought you were dead. You shouldv'e heard her downstairs, she offered me a place to stay with her because she thought I was lonely."
They both laughed loudly, then grew quiet as Jonathan pulled out a small map from his pocket,
"Here's the next location," he said, "The girl's name is Jennifer Wales."
"Another ex?" Randy asked
"Not really, I just never really liked her that much. By the way thanks for getting rid of Amy for me. "
"You should've seen her face when I showed up at her doorstep," Randy laughed, "It was like she'd seen a ghost. I wish could've read her thoughts, 'No your suppose to be dead, they found in your garage!'"
Jonathan laughed again,
"Classic."
"Alright," said Randy, "I'll pack my bag, and we'll leave in the morning."
"Good." Jonathan replied, taking another sip of coffee, "This one ought to be fun."
