Part 26 (1/2)
The room turned electric again and I heard Jonah telling me to stop but I was done and far too gone to hear anything. ”You left me. You left me with them, you left me knowing that I killed Alex, you left me!” I screamed.
”You didn't kill Alex Olivia.” Nicky said softly but I didn't hear a word.
”You left me and you didn't look back once. So you do not get to tell me what to do or whom I do it with. You haven't been my brother for four years you don't get to start now because you don't like who I'm dating and you don't get to start because you're working for the f.u.c.king Russian mob.”
”You did not kill Alex Olivia.” Nicky repeated like I hadn't said anything.
Snapping because he wasn't listening to me I let it all hang out. ”They were my drugs.”
Shaking me violently Nicky's face turned to stone, ”Why did you have drugs Olivia?”
”What?”
”Why did you have drugs on you at that party?” It didn't matter why I had them I still had them, Alex took them and got hooked the reason why was pointless. ”You had them because I pulled Alex into my reckless behavior. You brought drugs thinking if Alex thought his bad habit was rubbing off on you he would stop. He was doing drugs a long time before you pulled that stunt.” My breath was coming fast and the shaking had come back, ”If anyone is to blame it is me Olivia, they were my friends, my parties and in the end they were my drugs I bought them for him thinking I could manage how much stuff he got his hands on. But what I didn't even know was Alex was working for Mika.”
Like some invisible gate had been open memories, thoughts and feelings I'd buried somewhere deep inside came rus.h.i.+ng back. I didn't kill Alex, I didn't kill Alex oh G.o.d. The crying started again and my body gave out taking Nicky to the floor with me.
Holding my face in his chest Nicky spoke against my hair, ”He loved you baby girl, the last time I saw him you were the only thing on his mind. Despite what he was doing you were still his whole world and you're still my whole world.”
”No, you left me.” I said shaking my head.
”I left to save you baby girl. Alex f.u.c.ked up, he screwed the Russian mob, if I didn't leave they would have come for you. I had to make a deal, it was a risk and it was a bad one but it was the only one that would keep you safe.” Nicky whispered into my ear for only me to hear.
”You still left, I was lost with no one until I found Jonah. Don't take Jonah away from me, please. Don't make me pick between you two.” Nicky pulled in an uneven breath. ”I hurt Nicky, everyday the pain of losing you both is bad, I have panic attacks just thinking about you and Alex but Jonah fixed me I can't lose him.”
”Olivia he is in the business I'm trying to keep you out of.”
”No,” I yelled looking back at Jonah to see he was trying to focus on me but he was having trouble. Nicky's arms were holding me loosely so I pulled away before he could stop me.
As soon as my fingers touched Jonah's he gripped on with a death hold pulling me into his body as I wrapped my arms around him cradling him to me. Nicky's face had turned back to stone and he was now standing but he didn't make a move towards us. ”Jonah's been trying to get out but Vinnie won't let him. Vinnie is using me to keep him in.”
”Vinnie did that to you?” Nicky barked, his hand holding his gun shaking violently.
”Yes.”
”Is this true are you trying to get out?” Nicky asked looking at Jonah.
”Want a life with her Nick, can't have one with her if Vinnie gets me killed.” Jonah whispered his voice weak.
Nicky turned to look at one of his boys as the doors flew open and Denny, Mason, Kay, and two others came in guns pointing at Nicky and his boys.
Before I could yell at the boys to put their guns down a gunshot rang out and the second door in the living room busted open as Vinnie and his guards walked in.
All the men and their boys turned their guns on Vinnie, as my eyes caught Sharks stepping beside Denny, gun also pointing at Vinnie.
”You hurt my sister?” Nicky yelled stepping closer to Vinnie.
”She was corrupting my boys.” Vinnie spat eyes flickering to me.
”We're not your boys.” Denny clipped his voice hard and his face cold as ice, ”Mason filled me in. How stupid do you have to be to work with a trader in the Russian mob. The Russian's will find that trader and they will kill us all. So I'm done, Jonah's done and our boys are done and I will make it known to the whole of Denver that we have nothing to do with you or your business.”
”You're not done, I'll tell you when you're done.” Vinnie yelled.
”Actually Vinnie the Russian's have already decided you're done.” Darcy said stepping into the room behind Vinnie follow by what could only be described as a small Army.
Vinnie whipped around to look at her as I gasped because my best friend and roommate was standing in front of Vinnie as cool as can be talking about the Russians.
”What the f.u.c.k Darcy.” Nicky yelled.
Not even looking at Nicky, Darcy continued to talk. ”We know who you were working for and they have been taken care of. The Russian's do not like to be f.u.c.ked with, you should have known better Vinnie.” As fast as lightening Darcy lifted a gun, aimed at Vinnie and pulled the trigger.
As soon as I realized what Darcy was doing Jonah pulled my head into his chest, his hand covered my ears and Denny and Mason ran to us covering us with their bodies. I figured a shoot out was going to start as Vinnie yelled out but the room turned deadly quite the only noise was coming from me crying into Jonah's chest.
”Lets go Nick, Mika's waiting we finally get to go home.” Darcy said calmly sounding nothing like the girl I'd come to love. ”Vinnie's business is done, we'll take the turf we want but the rest can be picked off. You take over his business we expect a call as you will be working for us.” Darcy finished, her high heel shoes sounding on the floor. ”It's been fun Olivia I'm actually going to miss you, Ty not so much.”
I heard her start walking again along with the sound of others moving with her and then I felt Mason and Denny's bodies get tenser.
”I just want to say bye to her.” Nicky said to my boys.
