Part 16 (1/2)

”That's debatable.” Denny said barking out a short laugh.

Jonah pushed the guys face back into the fence, ”You hear about the black car following my girl?”

”Yeah man everyone heard you shook down half of Denver. But that's all I know.”

”Alright Shark I got one more question then you can go back to doing whatever the f.u.c.k it is that you do. Know anything about Alex Rees?”

Jonah's question hit me right in the heart and had me stumbling on my heels. Knocking into the trashcans behind me I sent them falling to the ground with a loud bang. Before I could do anything four guns were pointing at me.

”Olivia!” Jonah shouted lowering his gun. ”Put your guns down, now.” He snapped to the others.

Breathing heavily I clutched on to the material over my heart hoping that this could somehow stop my heart from breaking into a million pieces.

”Put your gun down now Shark.” Jonah barked at the only person pointing a gun at me now.

”f.u.c.k no. I don't know this chick.” The man with s.h.a.ggy blonde hair yelled.

As fast as lightening Denny moved in front of the guy pointing his gun at the blonde guy's head ”Put it down now Shark.”

”I'm guessing we're done here so me and my boy are just going to be going before someone gets shot.”

”Go.” Jonah yelled not taking his eyes off me, ”But Shark you and your boy never saw Olivia.”

”I got you J.” The guy said as him and his friend disappeared behind the back of the building.

Putting his gun G.o.d knows where, Jonah put his hands out in front of him, ”I'm going to come closer Olivia.” He spoke at me like I was a frighten animal.

By the way I jumped when he spoke I guess I was.

Backing up for every step he took closer Jonah growled in frustration. ”Olivia I'm not going to hurt you baby.”

Shaking my head without really knowing what I was shaking my head at, I clutched at my heart harder feeling my nails digging into my skin.

”Baby, let me explain.” Jonah begged.

”No.” I cried as I turned and ran for Vinnie's stupid driver.

Thankfully the driver was waiting by the back door, seeing me running with Jonah and Denny right behind me the driver quickly opened the door and helped me in.

”Olivia do not go with him.” Jonah screamed as the driver shut the door.

Jonah started to run towards the car but Denny caught him.

Looking at Jonah's face I started to cry harder, the haunted look that I hated to see was back but this time it was ten times worse, his face was an off white, his mouth hung open and his eye sparkled with unshed tears.

What the h.e.l.l had I just walked into? Guns, s.h.i.+pments and asking about my brother what did all that even mean?

Like one of those guns had gone off, the hole I felt in my heart when the answer came to me had me doubling over trying to hold myself together. Drugs it was all about f.u.c.king drugs.

The car must have stopped because the driver was opening my door and pulling me out. Looking up through blurry eyes I realized I was not at my apartment. Where the h.e.l.l had Vinnie's driver taken me?

Pulling me by my arm I found myself in a very expensive living room, ”Where am I?” I finally asked moving aside some of my grief to care what actually happened to me.

”Vinnie wanted to see you.” The diver answered pus.h.i.+ng me down on to a couch and moving to stand behind me as Vinnie and five other men came into the room.

Vinnie poured himself a drink while the other men spanned out, standing around the room. Sipping his drink Vinnie took a seat on the couch opposite me.

Saying nothing he sat drinking his drink staring at me with that evil smile.

A loud bang followed by yelling sounded in the hall as Jonah and Denny burst into the room. Jonah ran straight to me sinking to his knees in front of me, his hands running over my body looking for injury.

Once Jonah was satisfied that I wasn't injured he turned on Vinnie.

Jonah flung himself at Vinnie and I finally figured out that all those men were Vinnie's bodyguards as they pointed their guns at Jonah and Denny who was just barely holding Jonah back.

”You're a sick son of a b.i.t.c.h you know that. You wouldn't let me out so you had to drag Olivia into your cl.u.s.terf.u.c.k of a business so you could use her for your own personal gain.” Jonah yelled his fear and anger coming out clear. ”No Vinnie. You can have me but you cannot have Olivia. She is mine G.o.ddammit not yours.”

”Calm down son.” Vinnie said as cool as a cuc.u.mber ignoring the fact Jonah was looking at him with murder in his eyes.

”I am not your son.” Jonah snapped disgust dripping from each word.

”You're mad now Jonah but you had to know the truth.”

The truth?

”More games Vinnie?” Jonah laughed.

Vinnie signaled one of the men over. Standing beside Vinnie the man dropped my purse onto the coffee table separating the couches, followed by four pill bottles.

Jonah and Denny looked confused, Vinnie looked happier than h.e.l.l and I was horrified.

”Should I tell him or would you like to explain Olivia?” Vinnie asked smiling at me.

”How did you get those? They all came from my apartment.” I whispered.

”Olivia?” Jonah whispered shock all over his face.

”Who do you work for? Adam or maybe your one of Mika's b.i.t.c.hes trying to move back into my town?” Vinnie hissed his eyes narrowing into slits.

”Work for?” Oh no he thought I was some kind of drug dealer. ”No those pills are mine I use them to treat my panic attacks.” I whispered ashamed I had to admit I was messed up in front of all these people. Oh well wouldn't matter I was never going to see anyone in this room again.

”Panic attacks?” Jonah questioned.

”I started having panic attacks after Alex...For about a year they were random now they only happen when something triggers them.” I said tears starting to fall.

Pulling out of Denny's hold Jonah dropped to his knees in front of me again.
