Tainted Heart | Self Destruct

Six Months Later

The brunette stretched as the warm sunlight poured through the open window onto her skin. She yawned, stretching her arm over his bare chest, he grunted. "You've been sleeping for ten hours, aren't you awake yet." Randy teased.

Brie turned her almond eyes to face his blue ones and smiled, "No, I like to sleep."

"I've noticed." He said as he entwined her fingers with his own. "You are beautiful, you know that?" he questioned as he gently spun the diamond ring on her thin finger.

"You tell me every day Randy." She replied as she slowly sat up in bed. She was about to suggest they order room service when her cellphone lit up, vibrating against the oak night stand.

"Cody would be pissed if he knew you kept that." Randy said.

"I told you I'll get rid of it." Brie grabbed the phone off of the stand and looked at the caller id.

Nikki.

The brunette let a sigh pass her cherry lips and hit the talk button. "Nikki." She said, causing Randy to turn and stare at her. He shook his head, whispering 'get off of the phone'.

"Brie, Brie, you are okay! I've been trying for months to call you. Your phone always rang, I knew you were alive, I knew you were okay. Where are you, has someone hurt you. Tell me I'll help you."

The panic in her sister's voice caused Brie's stomach to clench. Maybe she wasn't strong enough to do this after all. Maybe she wasn't cut out for this. She looked at Randy's blue eyes and felt her own well up with tears. She choked them back. That part of her life was over; she had two sisters now, Michelle and Kelly.

"I'm fine Nikki, you don't have to come get me. I'm not coming home. I don't want you to call me again. I'm getting rid of this phone. I don't want to hear from you again." Brie managed to say before cutting the call before the tears came.

Randy gently pulled her against his chest, holding her close as she cried. "It's okay Brie; we're your family now."

So many people were screaming. Brie wanted to cover her ears and cower in a corner, but then she remembered they were all screaming because of her. The brunette held the pistol with shaking hands as she walked behind Randy. Ted and Cody were on either side of her, and Kelly was ahead of Randy, they were both carrying the fifty-thousand dollars they had just stolen. Michelle was waiting in the car, most likely listening to the radio, oblivious of the fear in all of the citizens' eyes as they left the bank, guns aimed.

They were almost there. Only a few more steps and they would be free.

Bang.

A gunshot.

She looked at Ted and Cody who looked equally as confused, they hadn't fired the shot.

Bang, Bang, Bang.

Three more shots were fired.

Brie finally noticed the security guards hidden behind the counters. Her heart began to race as the bullets kept flying. Cody fired back.

"No! Cody we don't fire back!" Ted yelled as Cody shout off another round.

"They are shooting at us!" Cody yelled.

"It doesn't matter, just run."

Brie looked over her shoulder to find that Kelly was safely out of the building.

Bang.

And then a scream erupted beside her. She watched in horror as Ted fell to the ground, blood soaking through his black sweatshirt. "Cody now!" she screamed as she seized one of his arms. Cody grabbed the other with one hand while still firing with the other. They managed to pull him out of the bank where Randy and Kelly had just finished dropping the money in the van.

"Shit!" she heard Randy's voice and felt him push her out of the way. She watched, in horror, as Cody and Randy picked Ted up and put him in the back of the van. "Get inside now!" he yelled at Brie.

She ran to the van and jumped in the back, Randy, Kelly and Cody followed, slamming the door shut just as the police pulled up. Michelle quickly pulled away from the curb and into the crowded streets.

A/N: I know this was pretty short but the next chapter will be a little longer. One more chapter to go, then I will have a poll up –trying to decide if there will be a longer, more dramatic sequel! Also, I have a poll up on my profile right now so if you haven't voted on it, please do? Reviews would be amazing!
