Chapter Twenty-Four
"Blaze!" Hunter screamed as his sister fell onto the ground.
As for me, I just stood there with a dropped jaw, taking in what just happened. Hunter picked her up and carried her to the car. I could hear him shouting my name, but it all seemed like background noise. Blaze was just shot in front of me.
"Dammit, Zoe!" Hunter yelled once again, and somehow that did the trick to snap me out of my shocked state.
I gasped and ran over to them. I opened the door and he placed Blaze in the back of the car. Hunter quickly jumped into the driver's seat while I joined Blaze in the back. I took the towel Hunter put in the car earlier and placed it carefully on her wound, trying to slow down the bleeding. Hunter started driving to the hospital while I tried keeping Blaze up.
Blaze smiled at me faintly and held my hand. "Hey, don't worry about me," she coughed, making me gasp.
"Blaze you'll be fine!" I breathed out.
"No, Zoe, listen." she squeezed my hand. I held tightly onto her, my eyes filling with tears. "I know I won't make it―"
"Just shut the fuck up, Blaze!" Hunter shouted. "Nothing is going to happen to you. I won't let anything happen to you."
Blaze just ignored Hunter and looked at me. "I won't make it," she breathed out. "Promise me, Zoe. Promise me to take care of my stupid ass brother no matter what. Keep him from killing people, no matter who it is." Blaze looked at me. More tears streamed down my face.
"No, you will make it and we'll take care of your stupid ass brother together." I hugged her, tears streaming down my face.
Nothing was going to happen to Blaze. Nothing could happen to her. She was Blaze. She is a fighter. Blaze was strong enough to get through this. She wouldn't let Zachariah win this, right? Right. Blaze couldn't die. We couldn't lose the only family we had. Blaze was the perfect sister, the perfect best friend, and the perfect family. I can still remember her talking about playing with mine and Hunter's kids. Then I just blushed and showed her my middle finger, but now I'm serious. She has to be there for the kids. She just can't leave us. She has to live through all of this with us.
We did everything to save her and Zachariah's men can't just appear out of nowhere and ruin everything. Hunter risked his life to save his sister from cancer, and now this happens. I never thought that I would see this day. We did everything to keep her hidden from the outside world, and still this happens. All we wanted was to keep Blaze safe, and this motherfucker just appears out of nowhere and does this. Now I understood why Hunter never told anyone about her.
"Zoe, no. We both know I'm not going to make it. He shot me right where I was operated. The bullet is too far in my body now. We both know what that means." she said, breathing heavily and then groaning in pain. "You're the best Hunter has had. You're the best thing that could happen to my brother. I know you will take care of him. I know he will find no one better than you." she said and groaned in pain once again, making me gasp.
"No, please..." I cried.
"Blaze, just shut the fuck up, okay!?" Hunter yelled again.
"I love you both..." Blaze said and her eyes closed as she took her last breath.

I took the pizza box with pizza in it and walked into our room. I looked around and saw Hunter sitting on the floor, staring at the wall in front of him. I licked my lips and walked over to him. I sat next to him and placed the pizza box in front of him.
"Hunter, please eat something." I looked at him.
Hunter looked at me and all I could see was pain. We just got home from the hospital, where Blaze was confirmed dead and it's obvious that this was a police case now. Hunter was safe though. There was no evidence of Hunter being part of the mafia, neither was there any evidence of Hunter killing people. Hunter was silent the entire way home. We both were. It was like we both just turned into robots. We were awfully silent, as if we had neither a brain, nor a heart.
"I can't believe she's gone." Hunter stared at the wall again.
"Me neither." A tear finally slipped down my cheek.
If I'm feeling like this, I can't even imagine how Hunter might be feeling right now. His twin just died about an hour ago. He didn't say anything. He just started the car, drove us home, and immediately walked into the room. I looked at Hunter and Hunter looked at me. His gaze moved to the wall again.
"You know, we always had this connection. The type of connection most twins have. We were close because of that connection. We could finish each other's sentences. She was the only one besides you who actually trusted me. There was this one day her friend came over and they were watching movies and doing all kinds of stupid things. They ended up playing Truth or Dare and Blaze dared her friend to beat me up with a fucking baseball bat, because she thought her friend was a bit too scared of me." he chuckled as tears slipped down his face. Hunter looked at me. "I want my sister back, Zoe." he cried.
I couldn't take it in anymore. I just wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back tightly as he cried on my shoulder. I hated seeing Hunter like this. He didn't deserve this. We didn't deserve this. Blaze didn't deserve this. We were a happy family, bothering no one. We didn't choose for this. We didn't want any of this to happen. Blaze dying was just the worst thing that could have ever happened to us.
Hunter hugged me even tighter as he cried. "I want my sister back!" he cried.
"Hunter..." I want her back too. "Please, Hunter..." I sniffed.
He pulled me onto his lap and hugged me even tighter. "How am I supposed to..." he didn't even finish his sentence.
I wish.. I just wish I could end all of this...
