Chapter Eight-teen
Hours went by before anyone came out to tell Zander anything. His fahter had left to go find out anything he could about the young girl. Zander was told that she had been shot in the shoulder, abdominal, and one grazed the side of her head. He had also been told that she lost a lot of blood, but they were able to replace it. This was all his fault he knew it. He vowed to find out who it was and why then he vowed to make sure they paid. Sabrina was someone who he found out he couldn't live without. She was very important to him. He loved her. He sat there in the waiting area and waited to see if she was going to live or die. He hoped for the best and feared the worst.
"Zander?" a soft voice called to him. He turned and saw Emily with Nicholas.
"Emily I don't want to argue now." he said in a defeated voice.
"Neither do I. What's wrong?" she asked concerned
"Someone I care very deeply about is now fighting for her life. It's like dejavu except this time I can't blame it on cancer." he said softly as the realization hit him hard." It's my fault."
"Zander you can't blame yourself." Emily said as she went to him out of compassion.
"Zander I'm sure it wasn't your fault." Nicholas said not liking the fact that Zander was still important to Emily.
"Yeah it was. She was in my apartment when some people walked in and shot the place up. She's paying for my choice of work. She didn't ask for this, but she didn't ask me to change for her either. She just loved me the way I was now she could die because of it." his voice was choked with tears he refused to cry.
"This should open your eyes Zander you can do better than working for Faith." Nicholas said surprising his self as well as Emily." When you can see her you need to go to her tell her you love her beg for her forgiveness and swear to give up this life to start a new one with her." Zander looked up at him in shock.
"I can't just quit it's not like working a nine to five job." he said
"Then tell her you don't want to ever see her again." Nicholas said
"Nicholas." Emily warned
"You have a choice Zander give up this life of crime and be with the woman you love or give her up to save her life." he insisted.
"You don't get to make choices for me and I don't like being told what to do." Zander said angrily, but he knew Nicholas was right. He had to make a choice right now.
"Zander he wasn't trying to make choices for you or tell you what to do." Emily's soft voice tried to explain
"Just leave." Zander snapped
"Okay fine." Emily said giving up on trying to reason with him.
"Just remember what I said." Nicholas warned as he left with Emily.
Zander sat there in the chair and thought about what Nicholas said. If he gave up working with Faith she would kill him, but he stayed with his job Sabrina would get hurt again. The way he saw it either way Brina would get hurt.
