Lena

All I wanted was to pull Stef into a hug and tell her everything is ok and that i'm not going to hurt her but I know if I do that she will shoot Stef. I tried to meet her eyes to hopefully give her a look telling her it's gonna be ok but she's avoiding looking at me. I have never seen Stef so scared and it broke my heart. I wanted to shout at her just to shoot me instead and let Stef go but I knew it wouldn't help any.

"I'm sorry" I whispered under my breath but she didn't look my way.

She drove us to empty land about ten minutes from our house.

"Alright come on" she said grabbing Stef and pulling her out of the car before pointing to the gun on her hip and gesturing for me to get out. I got out not sure what to do.

"Shoot her" she said simply and I shook my head.

"No" I said and she pulled me away I think so Stef can't hear us.

"You have two chooses shoot her anywhere I don't really care or have me shoot her and I promise I won't miss her heart." she said seeming almost bored by this. What is wrong with this woman?

"Please don't ok, just shoot me instead" I said tears in my eyes.

"Not how this is gonna work. Either you shoot her or I will" she said getting her gun out and aiming it at Stef. I watched her squeeze her eyes shut awaiting being shot a feeling she unfortunately already knows.

"See now if I line it up… yeah that will kill her" she said and I took a deep breath to stop myself from crying.

"Ok" I said and she walked me forward.

"What are you waiting for?" she asked and I watched as she closed her eyes. Before I could do anything police sirens went off and the woman ran to the car and took off. I immediately dropped the gun and ran over to Stef.

"Stefanie" I shouted as I ran to her.

"You.. you were going to shoot me" she said and I know what this looks like.

"Honey please listen to me" I said and she moved back a bit.

"Cops put your hands where we can see them" he said and I put my hand up not wanting to get shot.

"You ok?" one of Stef's co-workers asked her and she nodded. I'm just so glad someone called the police and they found us. I can't believe I was about to shoot her.

Stef

I sat in the station to numb to even understand what's going on. This has to be a nightmare, right? My mom walked in and ran over to me.

"Stef honey" she said hugging me.

"Mom i'm fine" I said but she wasn't having it.

"You could have been shot, Stefanie" she said and I sighed.

"Could've, exactly. I didn't. I got lucky" I said but I didn't feel lucky. Everything is going crazy and I just don't know what to think.

"Come on, hun. Let me get you home, you must be exhausted" she said but I know I couldn't get to sleep. We got home and everyone came up to greet me.

"Are you ok?" Mariana asked hugging me.

"Yeah"

"We were so worried about you" Dana said. "I woke up to someone coming in the house and saw some lady lead you out with a gun so I called the cops"

And there it is the reason I didn't get shot.

"Thank you" I said hugging her and then Stewart. No one said anything about Lena i'm guessing they picked up on the fact that i'm not ready to talk about it yet.

Stewart

"Oh i'm gonna kill her!" Dana said and I sighed.

"Honey, relax. You are not going to kill our daughter and you know it" I said trying to keep her from freaking out.

"She almost shot her wife today! We raised her better. How could she hurt her wife like that?" she said pacing back and forth.

"Maybe it's not what we think" I tried to reason but she wasn't having it.

"What else could it be? When the police showed up she had a gun aimed at her" she said and I sighed. I know this looks bad and honestly Lena is probably guilty but how is that possible?

Lena

My lawyer walked in and I forced a smile.

"Well what happened today?" he asked sitting down next to me.

"I got a call saying if I didn't get to the house immediately she would kill Stef so I did" I said and he nodded.

"By the way call the cops when you get a call saying that" he said and I sighed.

"Sorry I panicked."

"And then what happened?" he asked.

"I got there and she told me to get in the car and hold the gun to Stef head or she will actually shoot Stef" I said.

"So she had a gun with her too?" he asked.

"They were both hers and she had one on her hip" I said and he nodded.

"So let me guess she told you to shoot her?" he asked and I sighed.

"She said if I didn't shoot her wherever she would shoot and kill her" I said.

"So you could wing her and she would live is what you were thinking" he said and I nodded.

"Yes well actually I was going to shoot her in the leg because I was afraid I was really shaky and would accidentally hit her heart or something" I admitted and he nodded.

"We tracked down the woman her name is Candice, this her?" he asked showing me a picture and I nodded.

"Yeah that's her" I said.

"We got her she only got a few blocks away when cops surrounded her" he said and I sighed of relief. At least that's good news.

"Oh good" I said.

"Now you have to understand that your prints are on the gun and you were going to shoot her so it's your word against hers" he said and I sighed.

"Wait so i'm going against Candice?" I asked trying to understand this whole court drama.

"Oh possibly… I was talking about Stef" he said and I tried to keep the hurt on my face. I know that it does look bad from her point of view so I shouldn't be surprised but it still was like being punched in the gut. She's only moved away from my embrace twice. Once right after she figured out about the kiss with Monte and today. Her rejection is awful.

"I'm sorry, loyalty only goes so far" he said and I nodded. I can't blame her though. I mean I was about to shoot her today.

Hey let me know what you think and hope you like it.
