I missed.

I let the gun fall to the ground before getting up. I almost fell to the ground but Stone caught me. I stood upright and met his eyes.

"Why?" I asked before pushing him away from me.

"Bubba-"

"Don't!" I yelled before crying.

"Nevaeh I can explain." He said softly.

"Oh you can explain?" I asked angrily. He gently took my hand in his before looking into my eyes.

"Let me talk to you." He said so I pulled my hand out of his grasp.

"I don't wanna hear it." I said before going towards his door. He pulled me back by my hand before placing his hands on my shoulders.

"I had a single mom and she was a drug addict, I had to take care of my sister, Kira ever since I can remember." He said so I looked into his eyes.

"Our stepfathers weren't the greatest. They beat my mom and then they would beat us too. And one night, the last night that I was in that house my mom's boyfriend tried to touch Kira. If I didn't-" he stopped so I took ahold of his hand.

"He would've hurt her if I wasn't there. I hit him over the head with my baseball bat. I took Kira and we ran." He said and I nodded.

"How old were you?" I asked softly.

"I was ten, Kira was eight." He said and a tear rolled down my cheek. "Go ahead." I said softly.

"The police found us the next day, they saw our bruises and had a visit with my mom while we stayed at a children's home." Stone said before leading us back outside to the pool. This time I sat down next to him.

"We got adopted by another family which we had to flee from again because they were all the same. We went back to the children's home and they granted Kira and I scholarships to go to a boarding school abroad. And we accepted."

He suddenly looked up and into my eyes before shaking his head.

"Yes I want to hear how you did it." I said and he sighed.

"It was acid." He said and I gulped as my heart started beating faster.

"Was he the first person you killed?" I asked and he nodded.

"We had a plan, I know it's fucked up but if it didn't work out I wouldn't have met you five years later." He said and I just blankly looked at him.

"You're a murderer." I told him and he licked his lips before clenching his jaw.

"You already know that. You've seen me kill somebody." He said and I just nodded.

"What?" He asked as I silently watched him.

"Was it real?" I asked him.

"Yes." He said blankly. "Don't ever doubt anything I've ever told you. I might have lied about who I was but I didn't lie about how much I loved you Nevaeh." He said as a tear slipped out of his eye.

"Stone-" I started but he interupted my sentence.

"We can go to Paris and start over baby girl. Just you, me and Carmella." He said and I cried.

"Stone!" I said and he frowned at me.

"What?" He asked so I breathed in deeply.

"I called the cops. I'm wearing a wire." I said and he frowned at me.

"You called the cops on me?" He asked before getting up and just as he did so a swat team came running into the house.

"I'm sorry." I said and he just glared at me while they shackled him.

"I'll see you soon, Heaven. Look after our daughter." He said and I ran a hand through my hair before going after him.

"Wait." I told the cops so they stopped. "I love you." I said before kissing him deeply. I think I'll always love him.

"I'll see you soon." He said and I just blankly looked at him. Then they took him away.
