Chapter 20
Andor's Pov
Fear rushes over me. I thought Al died. He was dead!
"Troye the wings are very accurate." Al nags on.
"Justice." I mumble and look up at Jordan. He's looking down at me. He sighs and brings Justice over to me.
It makes me feel better knowing if he's gonna go for one of us, it'll be me.
"I never laid a finger on her Andor." Al snaps I let my head hang low again.
"Look up son!" Al orders, I obey. Al's eyes are a tired grey. He looks better than I did!
"I d-don't care if you touched her or not. You w-will and that's what matters." I sutter.
"You scared, Andor? Scared of me." Al laughs. Its not him I'm scared of, its his past.
"Leave him alone Al." Troye says, he's got a hold of Tom's hand.
"It should be Terryn you're scared of son. He's the one who threatened your life, if you told. Did you ever tell anyone?" Al asks wheeling himself a little bit closer to me.
Justice moves behind Jordan. I look over at Jordan,
"Don't look at him! Stand up for yourself Andor! Be like your father always was. Tell us Eleanor's secert." Al begs but I just shake my head.
"You act like such a fucking victim Al! You act like you never forced me to listen to my best friend scream for me to help her! Like you never hurt me! You're far from the victim Al." I try to keep myself calm.
"WHY DO YOU THINK IANITE STRUCK YOUR MOTHER DEAD ANDOR! WHY DO YOU THINK YOUR LADY DIDN'T SAVE YOU! ALL THOSE TIMES YOU CRIED OUT FOR HER AND SHE NEVER CAME!" Al screams,
"I YELLED FOR HER TO KILL ME BECAUSE OF YOU! I WOULD'VE RATHER BEEN DEAD THAN HAVE TO SUFFER ANYMORE! YOU LEFT ME TO DIE AL! LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS!" I yell back Troye looks terrified, Tom is wearing a damn good poker face.
"Ianite killed Eleanor and Prim Andor. She caused their deaths! She caused the pain you and Helgrind had to suffer through." Al speaks elegantly.
"She didn't cause the sickness that took my mother and sister. She wouldn't do that, not on purpose."
"You think that after Eleanor's affiar Ianite would spare her and your half sister." Al leaves us at that.
*Jordan's Pov*
Oh my Ianite. Al isn't dead. Al isn't dead. Al isn't dead. Al isn't dead. Al isn't dead.
Andor is paralyzed with fear and looks as if all hope is lost.
"Andor are y...." Troye starts but Andor instantly cuts him off,
"She didn't kill them. Ianite wouldn't have lain a finger on either of them." I want to hug him but I can't somethings stopping me.
"How did they die?" Troye asks and gives me a worried look.
"They were shot. Prim died in my arms. Why? You knew that."
"Andor I-that's not what I was told." Justice takes hold of the back of my shirt.
I glance back over my shoulder at her. Where's Maddi? Why isn't she here?!
"What did Terryn tell you." Andor looks and sounds so desperate for answers.
"A taint storm came. Both Prim and Eleanor died from Flux Flu. Andor it was clear Helgrind cared or he wouldn't have let you think....." Justice was cut off.
"You're lying. Stop!"
"Justice, enough." I say sternly.
Andor is in enough pain and all he needs is rest and comfort, nothing negative. Justice, along with everyone else, shuts up. "Justice, can't you see he is in enough pain already?" She tries to speak but the doctor comes in.
"Everyone needs to go. Visiting hours are up." Everyone mumbles words unknown on their way out, myself included. I see Tom and Troye are awfully close already. I am happy for Tom. He deserves the best and I'm glad he realizes I'm not the best he can do.
Time Skip
I walk inside and make myself something to eat. After eating some cereal, I go to the bathroom. I strip down my clothes and take a nice, hot shower.
I stay until the water turns to ice, then put on some pjs and go to bed.
-----
"Jordan." Andor whispers into my ear huskily. "Five more minutes." I say and try to put a pillow over my head. I end up grabbing Andor's arm and pull him close to me. I take a deep inhale of his cologne.
"Good morning." I could feel Andor's breath against my lips. I want I kiss him. I start to lean in, eyes closed, only to have my lips hit a wall.
I open my eyes to see I'm in a dome. Andor is on the other side. I pound on the wall. Andor looks for me, but for some reason he can't seem to see me. "Andor!" I shout. He still doesn't seem to notice me.
I see Al come up behind Andor. Panic overcomes me. "Andor look out!" I hope even a whisper will be heard, but my hope is destroyed when Al stabs a blade into Andor's neck. "No!" I scream. Al repeatedly stabs Andor. Andor looks so helpless.
I watch in horror as Andor's eyes close and he stops struggling. Al tosses Andor's body to the side. He looks up and stares into my eyes. Taking the knife up to his face, he licks the blood off the knife and lunges it at me.
I squeeze my eyes shut and wait for the knife to hit my skin. "I love you Andor." I whisper before the knife collides into my heart.
