A life for a life

Jack had sneaked out of his room after getting tired of being locked up inside. Eric had left to go bring him some clothes I wear so he was alone in his room.

He got into his wheelchair and moved around it was then he saw Steve walking back inside from the hospital's back door.

He has checked Tatiana's room already and didn't see her, so when he saw Steve he thought he was with her.

"Steve "he called, he stopped and glanced at Jack with his face filled with tears.

"What?" he asked but before Jack could ask, Steve pointed to the door he had just walked out of and said, "If you're looking for her she's in the garden," he said then walked away.

Jack frowned but wheeled himself out to the garden.

...

Tatiana had felt her heart break the moment Steve got up and left, she had tried but knew it was all a lie. She was never going to love anyone but Jack. Even after hurting her so much, her heart refused to move on, even when Steve was so good and patient with her, her heart didn't see him as something worth her love.

She wanted to love him but every time he tried to kiss her or hold her lovingly all she thought about was Jack's touch and kiss. She had convinced her heart to hate him but no matter how much she did, her love always won.

"Excuse me, thought you could run away from me," someone said beside her.

She looked up to see a doctor but his face was covered with a mask.

She frowned, "I was just getting some sun"

He chuckled pulling down his mask, she felt her body hair stand up in fear, it was Teddy's brother.

"How did you get in here" she stammered.

"This is a public place where anyone can enter as long as you look like you need medical help no one will mind you, so you thought you ran away," he said bending down to her.

She jumped off her wheelchair and started running, she could hear his laughter behind her.

He grabbed her throwing her down to the ground.

"Please you don't have to do this" she cried.

"But I have too, you killed my brother but went away with it" he knelt over her putting a surgical knife on her neck.

She gulped, "Am sorry about his death but he bought it upon himself"

The pressure on the knife increased digging into her skin.

"You're taking your lover's side, my brother's fault was loving you but he didn't deserve death. So as punishment for killing him, I will take your life too for his"
