VOGUE
Nothing.
Then everything.
I scream as the fear has taken over now as Bigsy pulls the trigger again.
That’s three. I have two chances left, if I’m that lucky.
Aaron slams into us, knocking all three of us to the floor. Bigsy’s grip
on me loosens enough for Callum to dive forward and pull me away as
Aaron smashes Bigsy’s face with his fist.
Twice.
Three times.
As Callum holds me close to him, I watch as my absentee father goes to
town on this asshole in the weird purple shirt, who just gambled with my
life.
My sobs wrack my body as I watch the scene unfolding in front of me.
Quentin steps forward and hauls Bigsy up, not giving a shit about Aaron
beating him into the ground. He literally throws Bigsy across the room, and
he slams into the wall not far from where we were standing seconds ago,
and yet it seems like an eternity at the same time. Quentin levels the
shotgun, but Aaron is on his feet in one fluid motion and grabbing the gun
from Quentin. He doesn’t even pause. Just raises it and fires.
I turn into Callum’s chest, the fear and tears hurting my chest as Bigsy’s
head shatters into a hundred pieces.
Callum’s arms tighten around me, his breath ragged against my ear. The
room is thick with the scent of gunpowder and blood, a metallic tang that
roots me to the moment. My ears are ringing, and in the aftermath, there’s a
fragile silence that wraps around us like a shroud.
“Vogue, look at me,” Callum commands softly, steadily.
I lift my head, meeting his gaze, which is filled with fury and concern.
Aaron strides over to his desk and drops the shotgun, his eyes dark with
an anger that goes beyond the violence he’s just doled out. Quentin crosses
over to the body and picks up the gun that is lying a bit away from him.
They’re all beasts in their own ways, bound by blood and brutality.
“You’re safe now,” Callum whispers against my forehead before
pressing a kiss there. It’s meant to be reassuring, but nothing can erase the
cold caress of death that had been just a trigger pull away.
“Fucking hell,” Quentin mutters and stares at me.
“What?” I ask, my voice shaking.
He holds up the gun, the chamber hanging open. “Next one would’ve
been it.”
His words hit me like ice water, and I choke back another sob as my
blood spikes horribly, making me lightheaded.
“Hey,” Callum whispers. “You’re okay.”
I want to believe him, want to sink into the promise of security his arms
offer. But we live in a world where safety is an illusion, shattered by greed
and power plays. Where loyalty is measured in blood spilt, and bullets
dodged.
