ONE YEAR LATER
“Where have you been for 3 days and don’t give me bullshit I wanna know who the fuck she is Johnny? WHO IS SHE?” I can’t believe this is happening, how could he do this to me. I’m the one who gives him everything, he says I’m his soul, that I saved his life and now this. I look at him as he stands in the doorway. He walks towards me "baby I swear you’ve got it all wrong I’m not cheating…” “Shut up Johnny where else could you possibly have been. I can’t believe…” I drop to my knees, I just wanna die. He rushes towards me and falls to to his knees in front of me “LISTEN TO ME! I would never hurt you. I’d die before that happened, look in my eyes, you know you’re my soul! I’ve been away to protect you we have to go NOW I’ll explain on the way”. I was relieved and terrified at the same time. I let him help me up and he dragged me out the door and down the stairs. I’m barley in the car before he’s speeding off down the road. “Johnny you’re scaring me what’s going on? I thought this was over?” I absently rub the scar on my shoulder. ” baby I thought it was to but they found me. I never should have brought you with me, but I just couldn’t leave you.” He glances at me with that look of pure innocence on his face. I gently caress his cheek “I never would have let you leave me behind Johnny. I’d die without you with me” before he can say another word a hail of bullets screams past the car. “GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR” he drives faster, trying to put distance between us and the truck gaining on us.
I reach under the seat. I know Johnny keeps his Beretta there. Before he can stop me I’m in the back seat of the car. I smash out the window just as the guys chasing us fire another wave. I can see him through the windshield struggling with his HK. I can hear Johnny screaming for me to stop, I’ve never heard fear in his voice before! I can’t let this moment pass I lean out the rear window and prop my arms on the trunk “JUST KEEP IT STILL BABE” the driver sees me to late. I lift my body up and aim just as the passenger goes to fire again. I shoot 3 rounds centre of mass, just like Johnny taught me, slumps forward. I turn to the driver and unload the rest of the clip. The truck veers and slams into a tree.
I collapse in the back seat in shock. Johnny slams on the breaks and gets out. He opens the back door and pulls me out. I can see the mixed look on his face of rage, pride and fear. He wraps his arms around me and kisses my head. “Good job baby, lets go”
