Chapter 27

I know I shouldn't worry about you Kirill,I thought. I love you. You know that this is stupid and that you don't have to do this. Why can't you just stay here with me? I never want you to leave my side again. Please don't leave my side…

I was gradually starting to get better. I didn't want to go anywhere though(plus Kirill wouldn't let me). I just wanted to stay here and be with him. I never wanted him to leave my side again. I loved him too much. But then I needed to come back to reality. He was an assassin. He wasn't supposed to love anyone. But he loved me…

Tomorrow was inching closer and closer. How I didn't want him to leave me. But I knew he was going to. And I couldn't stop him now. I wanted to hate him for having to leave me. But that wouldn't change anything.

He was gone for most of the day. He needed to get stuff to make sure that I would get better. I didn't want to get into my laptop because I knew that if I did that he would start to chase Jason. I didn't know how badly he wanted to kill someone until now. This didn't make any sense though. But I didn't care anymore. I knew that I was never going to able to stop him from doing this.

I stayed in bed waiting for him…just waiting. I just wanted to make sure that he was ok. I didn't want anything to happen to him now. I didn't want anything to happen to him tomorrow. I didn't want anything to happen to him at all. Doesn't he know how much I love him,I thought. Maybe I can be the one to stop this.

The door then swung open and there he was.

"I need to leave now,"he said.

"What? Why?"

"They know where he is."

"But you weren't supposed to leave until tomorrow."

"I have to go now Nicole. I'll get him this time."

"Let me come with you."

He shook his head. "No. You'll get hurt. You need to stay here and get better."

"I'm fine."

"Stop it. You're being stupid."

"No. I love you. You don't have to do this."

"I don't have a choice Nicole. You know that."

"Yes you do."

"Nothing's going to happen. I'm going to be fine."

"He's more dangerous than you think."

"You know nothing about him. I'm sorry. But I need to leave now." He tried to kiss me but I pulled away. "You wanted me to say goodbye."

I looked at him. "Why are you doing this?"

"What?"

"Why are you doing this? What's the whole point?"

"You wouldn't understand."

"I never understand. Kirill,I've been there. I know what it's like."

"This isn't any different and you know that. But I'm sorry. I need to go,"he kissed me and left the room.

Dammit,I thought. The one chance I had and I blew it. God dammit. I've got to stop this now. I don't have a choice either.
