Chapter Fourteen

"We grew up together. You just never knew I existed." James said before he walked away from the car's door. He confused me. The only explanation that I could think of was that him and Cyrus knew each other as kids and got into some bad things.

Then again James mother could be the master behind all of the kidnapping and drug dealing, but that still doesn't explain how Cyrus fits into all of this and why they thought it was a good idea to kidnap me of all people. Of cause I ended up staying at Cyrus place.

Cyrus even went out of his way getting me a room designer and a stylist. Not that the room was disoriented in any kind of way. It was plain and simple, also a stylist seems a bit bizarre. I could have just gone shopping on my own. The Fix has a nice range of clothing and I'm certain this stylist Cyrus hired is going to buy lady like clothes. That's just not me.

For a split second I close my eyes, I hear glass shattering all over the floor. Cara screaming my name in a strained voice. "Take cover!" Mitch screams in a gutteral tone. James runs towards me knowing I'll stand still and not make a move. He pushes me out of the way from being gun pointed. It all happened in slow motion as I watched the people I care for fight for their lives. The trigger of a gun went off causing me to look down to find any wounds, all I found was James laying on the floor before my feet as the blood oozed from his flesh wounds. "Alex put pressure on the wound." Mitch tremulously says, running towards the intruders. Cara was hiding behind the table that Cyrus threw down to use as a shielding from the bullets flying wildly all over. "Dude we have to get out here!" Cyrus roars as he lifts Cara up and throws her over his shoulders like she weighed nothing.

"James! James! James open your damn eyes." I cried out. Everything around me does not even matter all I was thinking about was James life. He has to stay strong for me. I can't lose him now. "Alexis get the hell out there!" Cyrus shouts grabbing me by the wrist. "We can't just leave him here." I begged Cyrus pleading him to help James. Cyrus is James best friend how could he just leave James here to die. "Fricken hell, Alexis I can't loose you again get the hell in the damn car with Mitch. I'll deal with him." Cyrus says frustratedly while he grazes his hair with his left hand and helps me stand up with his other hand. "James? James look at me. I love you." I said to him in a dead tone knowing this might be the last time I'll ever see him again.

"No you don't." James replied in a croaky voice. "You're right, but this seemed like the part where I should have said it." I answered him with an apologetic expression on my face. "Don't worry Mi Armour. You'll see me again." James places his thumb on my lips the tears rolled down my cheeks.

A guy charges towards me with full force. I act on instinct and got an adrenaline rush, grabbing James gun pointing it at the man pulling the trigger. It was a clear head shot. My body was high on adrenaline my mind was all over the place. I felt the need to do it again so I surged my way towards Mitch's car shooting three guys in my way. "Damn Alexis I didn't know you savage." Mitch says while I got in the car. Cyrus came running afterwards but I did not see James with him. "Cyrus where's James? Wheres James? Cyrus.... where the hell is he. Turn the car around now!" I screamed grabbing Mitch from the back.

The car began to swerve. Cara started crying as she pulled me away from Mitch, holding onto me tightly. Cyrus took ahold of the stearing wheel trying to stop the car from swerving. Everyone was screaming so loudly that none of us noticed the car driving off the road crashing into a tree.

I fell in and out of consciousness, my ears was buzzing so badly that it felt like they were about to burst. "Is everyone okay." Mitch asks but I think he was trying to reassure himself that everyone would be okay. "Alexis,Cyrus...Cara... No no no Cara!" I heard Mitch screams with a shaky breath as if he were about to cry. "Cara!" he roars not even bothered about the state Cyrus and I are in. I tried to stay awake I swear, I tried to keep my eyes open but I felt weak inside and outside. James and Cara are the most important people in my life and I might have lost James already.
