It’s never going to end, I see that now. Ellis is gone but every Crow who comes for us are a reminder of him. I’m not sure what happened to me tonight, one minute I was terrified of something happening to Jay, of them taking me to do whatever they pleased, but when he took control of the situation it was like watching something from a movie. They hit the ground and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed watching them die and I wanted more, I wanted to see more of them take their last breath. They went down and got off too lightly. I didn’t understand my feelings then, but I do now. It’s never going to end. For every Crow they take out, there are many more lurking in the shadows and just because Ellis is gone, doesn’t mean they are going to stop coming for us, for the club. Alannah was right, to live in their world I have to grow some balls, but how is it possible to turn off the fear of someone you love being killed over leather and patches. They kill one of ours, we kill one of theirs and then come for another and we go for another, the circle never ends. It continues to go around in a vicious cycle of murder, and I can’t deal.

Tonight has proved it will never stop. For a moment I felt like anything was possible and happiness was in touching reach and then it was stolen from me.

As soon as he has the front door unlocked and opened, I rush past him and climb the stairs two at a time.

I intended on going for a shower, to wash away the death clinging to me from moving the bodies but I close myself in the bedroom and follow my instincts. Grabbing the case from the bottom of the wardrobe, I shove anything my hand touches in the drawers into the case. I backtrack to the bathroom and snatch my toothbrush and toiletries and dump them in the case. Zipping it up, I haul it to the top of the stairs and lift it down each step until I hit the bottom.

Through the doorway, I see JJ sat on the couch with his head tipped back and his eyes closed. He’s just as tired as I am but he won’t admit it.

The sound of the case hitting the floor gets his attention and his eyes fly open and land on me first, then the case.

“I told you, we’re not fucking leaving,” he says, resting his head back on the couch.

“Not we,” I say and hold my chin up. I won’t let the tears fall.

“You’re leaving me?” he says sarcastically, still not looking at me.

“I…”

He jumps up and I jump back onto the second stair step. He doesn’t come into the hall; he braces his arms on the top of the door frame and sighs.

“Where are you planning on going?” he asks.

“Anywhere there aren’t any Crows. I know you won’t come with me so I’m not going to ask again.
