Chapter 7

Third Person's POV

When Richie awoke he noticed two things, one was that his head was throbbing like hell and two was the awful pain in his chest that felt like he'd been stabbed multiple times and it only seemed to be getting worse by the second.

Taking in his surroundings Richie recognized the RV bathroom straight away and noted that he was lying on the shower floor. Why? He had no idea.

Groaning he sat himself up leaning one hand against the wall for support as he carefully got to his feet, though he stumbled slightly gasping for air as another round of pain hit him like a fucking bulldozer from hell.

'What the fucks happening to me?' Richie asked himself.

Just then though the bathroom door flew open causing Richie to nearly jump out his skin as his brother came into view.

"Your awake" said Seth.

"Looks like it. What the hell happened?" asked Richie.

"You passed out is what, had me worried for a minute" said Seth laying a hand on his brothers shoulder.

"Why did I wake up in here?" asked Richie gesturing to the bathroom.

"Had to hide till we got past security, and guess what? We made it brother. As of right now we are officially Mexicans" smirked Seth.

"No shit" said Richie rubbing his chest.

The two departed the bathroom about to go sit up front when Richie suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.

Wait a minute...Katy cakes, Bruce Lee, Preacher. Present. Where was his girl, the slut and the wannabe?

"Seth" spoke Richie.

"Yeah" said Seth spinning on the spot to face his brother.

"Where's Bella?" Richie asked scanning his eyes round the RV for signs of his girl.

"Huh?" asked Seth seeming confused.

"I said. Wheres. Bella?" asked Richie again separating each word this time.

"Ah yeaaaah about that..." Seth trailed off clearing his throat and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Seth" spoke Richie in a dangerous tone.

"I...might have let her go" said Seth muttering the last bit.

"I'm sorry say what?" asked Richie unsure he heard right.

Seth at that point knowing he was backed into a corner with nowhere to go sighed and just decided to face his actions like a man.

"I sent her away along with those other two BUT before you blow your nut let me just first say that it was for the best, truly" said Seth.

What happened next he knew he had coming because within seconds Seth was being pinned to the bathroom door by the scruff of his shirt.

"What do you mean you sent her away? Away where!" shouted Richie fisting his brothers shirt.

"I don't know, I told those friends of hers to take her while she was still under. They took the guys car that padre over there knocked out and vamoosed" said Seth struggling against his brothers tight grip.

"You stupid son of a bitch, you have no idea what you've done!" snapped Richie.

"I let them go that's what I did. I didn't see the point in keeping them here any longer, it was unnecessary and we didn't need the extra baggage" said Seth.

"I don't give a fuck about those other two little bitches. Bella was the one I cared about. Though she may not have admitted it she needed me, and I needed her" argued Richie.

"What do you mean she needed you?" asked Seth hoping to god Richie had no concept about Bella having a tumor because brother or not he'd knock him to kingdom come.

"There was...is something wrong with her and it was my job to protect Bella until I could get her the help she needed. It was all going to plan until you fucked it up and now those bitches have my girl and I have no clue where their heading" said Richie.

"So you knew" said Seth.

"Knew what?" asked Richie.

"About her tumor" said Seth raising his voice.

Right then Richie felt as though he'd just been kicked in the balls, hard.

"What are you talking about?" asked Richie unknowingly loosening his hold on his brother.

"She has a tumor Richie, no doubt about it" spoke Seth.

"H-how do you know this?" stuttered Richie.

Remembering the pills he accidentally hadn't given back to the young chica Seth reached into his inner jacket pocket and pulled out the tiny jar flashing it infront of Richie's face.

"She dropped this before, take a look" said Seth.

Richie snatching the bottle out his hands dropped his hold on his brother and staggered back reading the labels contents.

"I don't understand" said Richie shaking his head casting his gaze from the bottle back to his brother. "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" he asked.

"I thought you knew" said Seth.

"What?" asked Richie.

"I don't know Richie maybe I had this crazy idea that your hiding something from me, I mean you'd never met this girl before and within two seconds flat you're all over each other like rabbits on heat" argued Seth.

"So what it's alright for you to find someone but as soon as I make the tiniest connection it isn't right?" asked Richie sarcastically.

"Don't twist my words. I'm not saying it isn't right all I'm saying is that it was a little weird how you were so protective of a complete nobody that you even turned a gun on me and I'm your brother" said Seth.

"She isn't a nobody!" snapped Richie.

"Then who was she Richie? Huh? Who was she?" asked Seth.

There was a pause before Richie stepped up to his brother getting in his face and took a deep breath before saying the next thing he did.

"Mine. She's mine" spoke Richie without an ounce of doubt in his voice.

At that moment Seth was more frightened than ever. He knew his brother was crazy but shit...this was taking it to a whole new level, even for Richie.

"We'll talk about this later" informed Seth backing away from his brother to sit up front with the ex preacher having had enough of Richie's delusional bullshit. As soon as he got the money from Carlos the first thing he was gonna do was find Richie the best damn doctor or psychiatrist going and personally see to it that his brother gets the help he needs.

In other minds though Richie was far from happy, infact it was taking everything he had not to charge up behind Seth and personally snap his neck. How could he not tell him that Bella had a tumor and then just rid of her like she was last week's garbage? For fuck sake she needed help and Richie could bet anything that the first thing those friends of hers would do is dump her on the side of the road. The thought of them abandoning poor Bella as she slowly deteriorated inside made him want to kill every last crew member on this vehicle and turn it around to go on the hunt for his girl. She needed him. He felt her pain, her fear. He needed to find her before the clock struck midnight and time was up. But this would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. He needed a plan and a damn good one at that.

"Richie"

Closing his eyes he heard her voice echo in his head. The desperation it held nearly pushed Richie over the edge.

'Hang in there Bella, I'll find you. I promise' Richie silently thought vowing there and then that he would do everything in his power to get his girl back.

He would rip towns apart and burn them to the ground until Bella was back in his arms and those who so much as got in his way would know hell at his hands. That went for his brother too.

Unknown to the Gecko brother's though force's were already on the tail of the dying Swan who apparently was being driven west of Chihuahua by her two comrades who looked to be arguing amongst themselves unaware that things were about to very ugly very fast.

...…...

BPOV

Groaning at the sound of mumbled voices I peeled my eyes open only to be blinded by the suns bright rays.

"Ugh" I moaned using my hand I covered my eyes and went to sit up...

'Oh shit' I thought to myself feeling I tidal wave of pain wash over me.

Fuck my head. What the hell happened? The right side of my face was pounding and as I raised my other hand to touch it I hissed feeling a stinging sensation shoot across my cheek like something, or someone had hit me.

"Richie?" I muttered trying to focus my vision.

"It's okay Bella he's not here, it's just us now"

Spoke a voice as I turned my head to the source to see not Richie but Jess staring down at me. That's when I took in my surroundings to find that I was no longer in the RV but actually laid down in the back seat of a car.

What the...

"What's going on? Where's the Gecko's?" I asked her slowly raising myself up.

"Don't know and don't particularly give a shit" said Jess with distaste.

"It's alright Bella we get now why you did it" said Angela who was behind the wheel.

"What do you mean?" I asked her feeling confused.

"You sided with them as an act and believe me it was good because you had us all fooled. But you did it. We're free. We're gonna find the nearest police station and have those assholes hunted down and hopefully behind bars in no time" said Angela.

"I wasn't acting" I muttered.

"And just think of it this way, when their caught we'll be getting the publicity. Our names will be splashed all over the papers and maybe we'll even get some sort of reward" said Jess grinning like an idiot.

I rolled my eyes at her and did my best not to slam my fist into her face. Of course Jessica would only care about money and fame because that's who she is, a greedy attention seeking backstabbing whore.

"I wasn't acting" I repeated abit louder this time.

Still it wasn't getting through to them as they continued to rattle on about everything and nothing.

"Bella you should definitely call your dad and let him know what's happened..." I heard Angela say until I suddenly zoned out and her voice suddenly become all muffled.

"Bellaaaa"

I heard the goddess call and as I lifted my gaze to the rearview mirror I saw her staring at back me.

"They're going to hurt you Bellaaa. They're going to hurt you".

Said the goddess as I narrowed my eyes across to Jess who I now noticed seemed quite uncomfortable as she shifted now and then in her seat as if she was sat on a pin or something. And then there was Angela who looked quite tense given that she was clenching the steering wheel rather tight to say the least.

"They don't care about you. They want to see you hurt" spoke the goddess.

"What do I do?" I quietly asked her.

"Make them pay. Kill them Bellaaa. Kill them before they take you away from us" she said.

Her words echoed in my ears bouncing from one to the other until it finally got through to me just what I had to do.

To teach these little bitches a lesson I was gonna have to go above and beyond anything I'd ever done in my life.

They wanted to hurt me? Fine, but not before I got the first hit in.

Glancing out the window I took in our current sighting which was an empty road and surrounding that was just sand, trees and even more trees.

This would be perfect.

"Kill them Bellaaa. Kill them"

With that I leapt forward and grabbed hold of the steering wheel causing Angela to yelp in surprise.

"BELLA WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" she screamed.

"I WAS KEPT FROM MY DESTINY ONCE! I WON'T ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN!" I yelled at her.

Just then at the corner of my eye I saw Jess leap at me with what I identified as a knife and before I knew it she'd plunged it right into my back just below my left shoulder blade.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" I cried.

I then felt her yank it out and go to stab me again but I was quicker this time.

"Grrrrrrr Jess you were always a pain in the ASS!" I shouted throwing my fist out until it connected with her face.

"Ahhhh!" she yelped as I heard something crunch beneath my knuckles causing her to fall back against the window.

"BELLA LET GO OF THE WHEEL!" yelled Angela.

The car had begun to loose control and start swerving from left to right on the road with Angela trying her best to scratch and punch at my hands arms, but I wasn't going anywhere. I didn't care how much pain I was in. This ended now.

That said I took one of my hands off the wheel and used it to slam Angela's leg down on the pedal causing the car to jerk as it went faster and faster until I saw a hill and knew what I had to do.

"STOP!" shouted Angela.

"BELLA PLEASE STOP!" screamed Jessica.

She then attempted to have one last crack at me and actually got me good because within seconds I saw her swing the knife toward me and then…

"UGH!" I gasped feeling the wind being knocked out of me as I looked down to see the end bit of the blade sticking out of my chest with blood beginning to gush through my shirt.

Fucking bitch

I was done for, but on the up side her efforts to play hero were in vain as I'd swerved the car right toward the hill.

"NOOOOOOO!" screamed Angela knowing what was about to happen.

"S-see y-you in hell you…bitches" I smirked through the pain just as the car went over with Jess and Angela screaming at the top of their lungs.

And that's the last thing I remember before darkness engulfed my entire world.

Forever
