I got into my car and drove as far away and as fast as I possibly could. I don't know what to do or who to talk to. It seems like either path I take, the blood of a young one would be in my hands.
I can't talk to Addison because the last thing I want it to put her in the middle of all this. This was my father's mess and I dragged you into it.
Her birthday was in two weeks and she is coming home this night. She is probably home already. I need to sort all this out without her knowing. I don't know how but I have to.
I drove near a cliff and shouted at the top of my lungs. It was night time to no one could hear me. I was there for about an hour until I decided to go home.
Before I was able to reach my car, I heard a car pull over behind mine and a girl screaming.
I didn't know what to do so I ducked behind my car to see what was going on and to my surprise. A man dragged a crying woman to the edge of a cliff with a gun in his hand.
It wantclong before I realized the woman crying was Addison. I couldn't make out who the guy was but I had to do something and fast.
I sprung from behind my father's car to drag the gun from the man's hand and point it at him while Addison ran in my arm crying.
"Hello old friend" he said as he stepped out of the dark. It was non other than my childhood friend, Nicholas
"This is my ex husband, the one that beat me mercilessly, Nick" Addison said while sobbing.
She has talked about Nick in the past but I would have never in my wildest dreams connected the dots.
"You? How dare you try to kill my girlfriend, after everything we've been through" I shouted while holding the gun.
"Who are you to talk about friendship, when you sent me to prison, and stole my f***ing wife?" He shouted.
I didn't know beforehand that it was him but that argument would really matter. "How the hell did you get out of prison" I asked him
"Ask your father, not only did he bail me out, he also sent me to kill Addison once and for all, because of you. Who do you think help me track you?" Nicholas said while laughing excessively.
I felt Addison slowly walk away from me. She didn't know my dad was behind everything. I tried to beg her but she just moved further and further away. I felt my heart break into pieces.
It was scary how he was laughing while at gunpoint. I was so fueled by rage I unknowingly pulled the trigger. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the fire but nothing happened.
Nicholas began to laugh louder and louder. "You didn't think I would load it, did you?" He said. Before I knew it, he tackled me and we were rustling at the edge of a cliff.
As I stood up to give him my first blow, he dodged it and struck me from the side. I fell to the ground while he kicked me repeatedly. Blood splashed out of my mouth.
Addison couldn't watch anymore so she impulsively pushed him away from me. She must have pushed him a little to hard because he ended up falling off a cliff.
Addison was shaking after then realizing what she had gone. "Don't worry he fell underwater, they won't find him" I said while trying to hug and console her.
She pushed me away and looked me dead in the eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears after just realizing what she had done but she still stood strong.
Her cheeks read because she was beaten by Nicholas, I touched her cheeks to console her but she pushed my hand away.
"Addison I..." I said "Stop. You have done enough. Ever since you came into my life, bad things have happened to me. I appreciate helping me get rid of him and for giving me what has been the best 6 months of my life, but it's over" she said to me and I feel tears fall down my face.
"In staying at a friend's place, don't bother looking for me" she said. Just having killed someone, tears were flooding down her face and she was quite visibly shaking.
I tried to hold her back but nothing I could do or say could change her mind. I got home to see Scarlet waiting to surprise me. She saw my face and looked so worried.
Not only was I crying, I was bleeding a lot. She sat me down as I told her everything that happened at the cliff while she cleaned up my wounds. She was in shock to learn that Nicholas was Addison's wife all along.
I have to confront my father about what happened. He tried to kill Addison, and then bailed Nick to come and kill us. Not only that but my dad still has a tracking device on me. That's probably how Nicholas knew exactly where I was.
