glint in his eye only deepens as he enjoyed my harsh words towards him.

"You wanted to leave your family. You pay the ultimate price for leaving your family Tobias. In my eyes, you're lucky because you're still breathing, no?" He smirks and my fingers twitch to punch him in that smug little face of his.

"I was your best man!" I yell angrily, my hands still hanging above my head.

"And you chose to leave!" He hits back, his voice bouncing off the walls. His lips twist upwards into a hateful sneer and I know his revenge isn't done.

"I treated you like a brother and you shot me!" I confront him, my tone rising.

"You shot me and you almost killed me!" I yell, angry tears falling from my face. My chest rises heavily as I stare him in the eyes, my own full of sadness and grief.

"My best friend shot me! Do you know how messed up I am because of you?! Huh? Do you have any idea?" I yell loudly, the tears running faster down my cheeks. Emily stares at me silently, her mouth slightly parted in shock. I tear my eyes off her. I don't want her to see me so broken, so true to the real Tobias.

My eyes drift back up to Amil's to find his expression emotionless, unreadable. His eyes darken dramatically and he watches me from under his dark lashes. He suddenly releases Emily, removing the knife away from her throat. She falls onto her knees, sobbing in relief before she quickly runs to the other end of the room. I breathe out the breath I'm holding, knowing she's okay for now.

"Emily get out of here. Get Jake and leave the house." I tell her over my shoulder, my eyes still trained on Amil. I hear her stand up to do as I tell her but Amil holds a hand up to her, stopping her in her tracks.

"You're not going anywhere sweetheart."

"Let her go Amil, it's me you want."

"No, no, no... It's you and Jake I want." He corrects me, shaking his head.

"You wanted to kill me, huh? How is your plan going?" He mocks me and I breathe heavily, my eyes falling to the floor where the gun lay. I could grab it within a second and shoot him before he has the chance to move. As if he can read my mind, he stands quickly, scurrying towards the gun before picking it up.

I close my eyes as I realise this is it.

Game over.

I feel the familiar cold gun metal press against my temple.

"Tell me why I shouldn't shoot you," he hisses, bending down so he was level with my ear.

"Begging isn't really my strong point."

My words are blunt, emotionless. I don't want to give into him, I don't want to show fear anymore. He presses the gun further into my temple, breaking the skin and I hiss, feeling the sting of a fresh cut.

All of a sudden, a loud bang followed by Amil's groans filled the room. The gun instantly drops to the floor and I turn, in shock, watching as his body slumps to the floor.

My eyes widen as they land on Emily who's standing over us, Jake's metal bat clutched tightly in her hands. She looks down at Amil, his head split open, blood trickling down his hair and onto the floor. She slaps a hand over her mouth, falling to her knees as her eyes never leave his body.

"Oh. My. God," she whispers, her panicked eyes falling on mine. She stands to her feet, dropping the bat before running over to help me off the floor.

"Are you okay?" She asks, pulling me into a tight hug and I nod silently as I stare at the back of my former gang leaders body. She pulls back, falling by Amil's side and moves him sideways, checking the pulse in his neck. I silently watch her, waiting for her reaction as I already know he has no future left. Her face drains of colour and she turns white as she stands back up off the floor, backing herself as far away from him as she could.

"I've killed him Tobias!" She gasps, her eyes wide with panic and fear.

"He's dead!"

 

Chapter Sixty Seven - Freedom.

Tobias' POV -

"Emily! It's okay!" I yell, reassuring her. I walk up to her, prying her arms away from her face so she can look straight into my eyes.

"It's okay," I repeat and she looks around, her eyes big and wild.

"It's not okay! I just killed a man Tobias! I took his life!" She yells, panicking. I grip onto her tightly, pulling her into my chest. She clutches my shirt, her tears adding to the blood stains that were already mixed deep into the fabric.

"Shh. It's okay! You'll be okay," I reassure her, knowing how the pain felt. I knew she wasn't violent on the inside, just an innocent soul who'd been dragged into a living hell. I pull her back, tucking the loose strands of hair behind her ear. I tilt her chin up and search her eyes, watching as they calm down.

"You saved my life," I tell her firmly, never letting my eyes drop from hers. She nods silently, tears drying on her face.

"He was an evil man, right?" Emily questions and I nod, giving her a warm smile.

"Yeah, he was an evil man," I whisper back, wiping the last of her tears away with my thumb. I lean forward and place a soft kiss onto her forehead, letting my lips linger on her skin. She tenses underneath me but doesn't protest and I know I haven't crossed a line this time. I pull back and take her hand in mine, gently tugging her forward.

"Come on, we need to see if Jake is okay." I say softly
