Holding on to you

Killian’s P. O. V

Red broke away from me and run to her friend, who was still freaking out and staring at the blood on her hands.

“Jessy, what happened, whose blood is that?”

I stood there waiting for her to answer, but instead of answering Red, she looked at me with absolute hatred in her eyes.

“THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!! If you hadn’t sent him to do your dirty work, he would never have gotten shot by his crazy ex!!”

That pissed me off, but not because Symone shot him, I was pissed off because the idiot took Jessy with him, on a f**king job.

Lilly looked confused, her eyes wondered to me and then back to Jessy who was still glaring at me.

“What are you talking about, what the hell is going on?”

I didn’t have time to answer her question, from the amount of blood that was on Jessy’s clothes, I knew the Mik was in a bad way.

“Ask question late, baby, I have to go help my idiot friend. Where is he?”

I asked Jessy. She seemed to forget her war with me long enough to tell me that he was in the back of his car. I quickly made my way out of the house with the girls following behind.

Taking out my phone, I made a quick call to the family doctor, telling her to get her ass over to the house immediately.

When I arrived at the car and threw opened the door, I saw that it was worse than I thought. The entire back seat was covered in blood, and Mik was already looking pale, with a purple tint. His breathing was shallow; you could hardly hear it.

Jeff came running over, and we both lifted him out of the car and into the house. There was a specific room that was designated for things like this. We placed him on the operating table and Jeff when to work on stopping the bleeding.

“Does he know what he’s doing?”

Jeff never broke stride, “Spend three years as a medic in the army, so yeah, I know what I’m doing.”

Since I knew Mik was in good hands, I turned to get some answers from his girlfriend.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“What the f**k went wrong, and why the f**k were you there.”

She dragged her eyes away from Mik and glared at me, but I didn’t let it bother me. I needed to know how f**ked up the plan got, and what got into the fool’s head to take his girl on a job that could have gotten her killed.

“You can glare at me all you want Jessy, but I need to know what happened so that I can go after the motherf**kers who tried to kill your boyfriend.”

That made her softened, her shoulders slumped and she started crying. Red put her arms around her to comfort her, soothing her cries.

“I wasn’t meant to go with him, but I overheard him talking to you this morning. I begged him not to go, I pleaded with him, but he said that it’s his job, it’s what he did and I needed to accept it because I had no other choice. I told him if he went I’d be long gone but the time he came back. He knew I was serious, so he decided to take me with him.”

The more of the story I heard, the more I thought I would have done the same thing.

“He told me to stay in the car when we got there, and I did for a while. But I wanted to know what was taking him so long, so I went in search of him. When I found him he was being beaten by these guys holding him, but the order was coming from a blonde girl. She was telling him that JD knew all about his plan and he was coming after the Granger girl and that she’s rightfully his. Right before she shot him, she told him that her only regret was that her son will never get to know his father.”

I knew that Jessy didn’t know how helpful her information was. For one, I knew that Symone was working with JD and that he was still after Red, but the part I hope would never come out was out… he knew that Red is the daughter of Marco and Lilith Granger.

“How did you get him out of there without them seeing you?”

I wanted to make sure that she wasn’t a spy for my enemies also, I wasn’t leaving anything to chance.

“I hid, and waited for them to leave… they just left him there to die, like he was nothing.”

Doctor Vander walked in at that exact moment and took over from Jeff. He looked at me and I knew that he heard exactly what Jessy said. His eyes went to red and I stepped in front of her and drew my gun the same time as he drew his.

“You know I can’t let you do that, Jeff.”

Both girls gasped at the scene in front of them, but Doctor Vander just frowned.

“Would you two idiots take your gunplay out of here before you make more work for me.”

I ignored her and kept my gun pointed at Jeff. He too did the same, I knew that he wanted revenge but he wasn’t going to get it from my girl.

“How long have you been f**king the enemy? She’s the daughter of the people who killed your mother, how can you let her live?!!”

I understand his frustration but, I’d kill him before I let him put his hands on Red. There’s just no way I’m letting him, or anyone else take her away from me.

“Jeff, you’ve known me for a long time now, so trust me when I tell you that I’d kill you and your entire family if you pull that trigger. You’re after Marco and Lilith, she’s done nothing wrong, her only crime is in her DNA.”

He still looked adamant on killing her, so I pleaded with him the only way I knew how.

“You’ve treated me like a son, and to be honest you’re only father I know. I was a stone-cold killer before she came along, you even said it’s like I found humanity. Why would you want to take away my humanity?”

We stared at each other for a long time, I waited for him to put his gun down, but he still wasn’t budging. I was about to talk again, but a groan from Mik made us all pause.

Jessy, not think about the situation run out from behind me and over to Mik, but she never made it far because Jeff grabbed her and put the gun to her head. She screamed and I saw Mik eyes shoot opened, but Jeff didn’t see it.

“Come over here, princess and I’ll let your little friend go.”

Lilly tried to move but I pulled her into my arms, she kicked and scratched at me to let her go, but I didn’t.

“Let me go, Killian, he’s going to kill her if you don’t!!”

“Sorry Baby, I can’t do that.”

Jeff laughed, “You’d let your wife’s best friend die?”

I don’t know if he expected me to feel sorry, but I didn’t. There was only one person in the room that I couldn’t live without, and it wasn’t Jessy.”

“She’s not my problem to worry about.”

He smirked, pulling Jessy closer to him, using his free hand he slipped his hand under her top and into her bra, grabbing her breast. She cried out and try to move but he just squeezed harder. I knew he was trying to make me drop my guard, but there was nothing that he could do that would make me lose focus from protecting Red.

“Whose problem is she then?”

From behind him, Mik grabbed his gun that was lying on the table beside and pointed it at Jeff’s head.

“She’s mine, motherf**ker!”

Jeff turned just in time to get a bullet right between his eyes. When Jessy was free, she ran over to Mik.

“You, stupid bastard, you almost die on me!”

I held Lilly closed, and watched as Mik chuckled, but he ended up wincing from the pain.

“Sorry about that, I’ll remember to tell the next person that shoot at me that my girlfriend doesn’t like it too much when I get shot.”

She glared at him and muttered, “Idiot,” then leaned down and kissed his lips.

When she pulled away he turned to look at me, a look of revenge pass over his face and I knew that he was thinking.

“She betrayed us, boss, the bitch set me up. I want her dead!”

I smiled, letting him see the truth in my eyes, “There’s nothing I like more than chasing a bitch.”
