Emma: I was currently waiting for Joy at some hole in the wall bar around forty minutes from my house. She was not due to arrive for another fifteen minutes, so I ordered a beer to calm my nerves and sat there turning things over in my mind. It had dawned on me that I had no idea why Ruby and Joy hated each other so much. I mean I know from personal experience it was very easy to hate Ruby, but why did Ruby hate Joy so much. From what I can remember of her she seemed like a nice enough person. I hated not knowing things like missing the last piece to a jigsaw puzzle its maddening. Maybe I could get the reason out of Joy, and she could explain it to me. I was tossing an idea around in my head concerning Lucas. Sighing, I picked up my phone and called him. There was no point in delaying this decision. “Ma’am, what can I do for you on this fine day?” why did he always have to be so upbeat and positive. It made what I was about to do even harder. “Look Lucas. It has been hard for me t

Emma: I quickly called Joy and told her Ruby was currently at my house and how she failed to blow up Kyle’s car. She told me Ruby had been obsessed with fires and explosions ever since they were little kids. They were on vacation and the house next store to them caught fire. Ruby was three around the time and ever since then she was always trying to light things up. Joy said her first attempt happened mere days after the house burnt down. I gave Joy my address and she said she would meet me there. I hurried home and when I got there, there was a car in the driveway that I could only assume was Joy’s. I was not sure exactly where she lived but if she got here first that means she was already heading this way. As I was walking up the front steps, I heard a blood curdling scream coming from the basement. I could not tell if it was Ruby or Joy since their voices were so similar. I dashed in the front door and ran down the hall opened the basement door and bounded down the steps. There

Emma: “Lucas!” I yelled at the top of my longs as I ran over to him and pushed Joy out of the way. Lucas was already spitting out blood from his mouth and I could tell he was not going to survive. As tears started streaming down my face I said to him, “Lucas I am so sorry this has happened to you. I forgive you, you here me. You are no longer fired I want you to work for me forever.” Lucas responded with the rest of his strength. “Miss Emma do not fret over me. You and I both know I will not be getting off this floor again. I told you one day I would get you to forgive me who knew it would be so soon. I finally got the courage to call you something other than Ma’am finally.” Lucas let out a gurgled chuckle. Sniffing I said, “I promise you I will take care of your wife and your children. They will want for nothing for the rest of their lives. Your death will be avenged this I swear.” Lucas managed to let out one last thank you before I watched the light in his eyes fade away. I turn

Natasha: I felt really bad leaving Emma alone to deal with Lucas, but hopefully what I have planned will help get rid of Ruby or at least slow her down. I looked over at Tony who was in the driver’s seat. I could tell Lucas’s death was a sad affair for him as well. Like he did for me before I just grabbed his hand and we drove in silence. I figured if he wanted to talk about it, he would. When we arrived back at my place it was again near supper time. However, neither of us were hungry, to much blood shed this day. I took him into my office and opened up my laptop. I showed him the blueprints for Ruby’s apartment and how I planned to deactivate her security system so we can enter without her being the wiser. I only showed him what I had planned to do once I got inside. I told him he was to stay outside while I went in and did the dirty work. He did not like that plan, but he knew he didn’t understand all the technical things I planned to do. He would not mean to, but he would just

Natasha: I reached into my pocket and pulled out my cell phone. I turned on the screen praying to God Ruby could not see the light from it through the keyhole. I quickly put it on silence without vibration. I sent an urgent text to Tony saying, “I did not make it out in time. Do not worry, she did not catch me. I am currently hiding in a big oak chest. Text me when she leaves the building again.” Tony responded as quick as lightning. “Jesus Tash, that is not what I meant by get out of there. If she does not leave within twenty minutes, I will set the fire alarm off forcing her out.” I simply said okay and put my phone screen side up on my lap so I could see when the next text came through. I peaked out of the keyhole watching Ruby’s every move. Every bit of this seemed wrong to me. I felt like a stalker trying to learn the ins and outs of my target. It was not a pleasant feeling at all. Ruby picked up her phone from the kitchen counter and made a phone call. I did not know who she

Emma: Natasha and I stood there staring down at the men we loved. We exchanged shocked glances with one another before Shane got to his feet and grabbed my hand. “Come on babe we can go into the kitchen and give those two their own privacy while we have ours.” Shane said, pulling me along with him. Part of me wanted to break free of his hand and run away screaming. Everything I have been through did not compare to how much this one simple question scared me. We entered the kitchen, and both sat down at the dining room table across from one another. He gave me a slight smile before saying, “Babe I know this is a big decision for you. And I want you to know no matter if you say yes or no, I love you and we will stay together. I know you have always hated the idea of marriage, but you know it is something important to me so take your time my love.” He was right, the thought of marriage made me feel sick to my stomach. In my experience everyone I have ever known for the most part that

Emma: A few days later I was getting dressed for Lucas’s funeral thinking about what happened after Shane asked me to marry him. I wanted to immediately go back on my answer, but the look on Shane’s face prevented me from doing so. My answer made him so happy, and I could not bring myself to take that feeling away from him. After all he had been through so much shit, he needed a win. I had heard Natasha cursing someone out in the living room, so Shane and I went to see what was going on. I would like to say I was surprised that Ruby was in my house yet again, but nothing about her shocked me anymore. Though I was angry she once again showed up without any warning I sighed heavily then walked over to her grabbed her forcefully by the arm and pulled her from the living room into my office. “What the fuck are you doing here Ruby? I told you the other day when we spoke on the phone I need to think about your proposal!” I said irritated. My irritation was wiped away when I saw the desp

My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 139
Three months later“Mother can you stop trying to make today all about you for god sakes it is my wedding day not yours.” I said to my mother for about the fifteenth time in the last five minutes. I was already nervous as all hell about doing this in the first place and as usual my mother was making everything worse. “Emma, I am not trying to make this about me. I was just saying how ignorant it is for my date to cancel last minute. It is just so messed up I deserve better than this.” My mother said with a scornful tone. I just sighed shaking my head knowing I couldn’t stop her from being the selfish creature she is.“Come on Miss White they are ready for you outside.” Natasha said scooting my mother out the door. I gave her a thankful look and went back to trying to calm myself down. Natasha walked over to me and put her hand on the small of my back. “It is going to be okay Emma. I know marriage makes your skin crawl, but you love Shane, and he really loves you. I don’t think I have

After I jumped on Ruby’s back everything seemed to be moving in slow motion but at the same time it felt like everything was sped up. I know, I know that seems really confusing, but it was like the world around me was one big blur of movement while it seemed to take me a lifetime to knock her to the ground though my guess is it took mere seconds.Three things happened simultaneously. Ruby fell, her gun went off, and I knew someone had been shot because I was now covered in red specks of blood all over my arms and I could feel them on my face as well. The smell of rust and salt invaded my nostril and made me feel queasy. I couldn’t let it get to me however or Ruby might wind up with the upper hand.I struggled to grab her arms and pull them behind her back. For a small chick she was stronger than she looked, not to mention I just had surgery and my incision from the c-section hurt immensely. Finally, someone noticed how much trouble I was having and came over and kicked Ruby square in
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 137
I knew I had to start talking to Ruby to try and distract her so Kyle could sneak up on her and take her out. “I am really glad you find your psychotic ways so amusing. I mean someone has to think you will get out of this unscathed and why not let it be yourself. After all you have been through so much in these past few months. You lost Shane to a better woman, you murdered your own child, lost your second family, destroyed your career, and so much more but hey at least you can stand there with a grin on your face and be completely content!”Ruby’s face turned into a scowl I guess she didn’t like her short comings being thrown in her face. That was good I wanted to piss her off, so all her focus was on me. She didn’t even seem to realize as I was talking that Shane, Tony, and Natasha started slowly moving away from each other and their current position to situate themselves around her so we could cover her in a five point angle. Ruby stood there momentarily at a loss of what to say to
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 136
Emma:“I know what you are going to say Kyle, but we have to go out there. After all we both know she is here for me, and I am afraid of what she will do if I don’t show up.” I said to Kyle trying to convince him how important this decision was. Kyle sighed and turned his head towards me. “I know you are right but that does not mean I have to like it. The only way I will be comfortable with allowing you to go out there is if you stay behind me understood?”I shook my head at Kyle in disbelief. “You know as well as I do that will not work. She will kill you without a second thought to get to me. Look I have a better idea. I know she is going to talk my ear off before she does anything at all. I want you to go back up these stairs to the second floor and make your way to the other staircase. Once there come back down to this level and come in through the other entrance. My cousin’s eyes will be on me, and she will not see you sneaking up on her. What do you think?”Kyle told me that was

We all began yelling at detective Morris that he just shot Detective Wilcox. “No, no, no! I did not mean it. Jennifer, please tell me you are ok. Jennifer, please answer me!” Detective Morris screamed out in desperation. I called out and said I was going to crawl over and check on her. He gave me the go ahead and I slowly began crawling over to Jennifer being cautious as to not make the detective trigger happy again.When I made my way over to her I first checked her pulse and looked for where she had been hit. “She is unconscious and has a very thready pulse. You struck her once in the chest and once in the torso. You need to get someone in here now to get her and Emma to the hospital. We also have a third person who is injured. He got struck with shrapnel when the explosion happened out the back door.” I said hoping he would understand how urgent this matter was.“Officer down, I repeat officer down. We need two more ambulances aside for the one for Detective Wilcox we have two civi

Of course, it would be her. Who else is psychotic enough to start a shooting rampage through a fucking hospital. I was positive she knew I was here, and she was looking for me. “Kyle, can you see anyone else out there?” I asked not really wanting to know the answer but knowing I had to. Kyle moved his head as far left as he could while still being able to see out of the small rectangular window. “There are a few people lying on the floor. It does not appear that anyone is hurt. Ruby is out there pointing the gun at people and yelling but I can not hear her through the door. Holy shit! This is so fucked. Miss Emma, I do not want to alarm you, but Shane Tony and Natasha are out there!Natasha:Hello again dear reader. I know I said you would not be hearing from me again, however when I wrote that we thought everything was coming to an end and that I would not have anything to tell you that Emma could not. We were very wrong on that front seeing as while Ruby came into the hospital firin
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 133
Kyle and I took an immediate left and half walked have sprinted down to the elevators. Not surprising they were turned off. It makes sense that they would deactivate them with an active shooter on the premises. It Would be harder for them to get to a different floor. We headed over to the door for the stairs and headed through. Neither of us knew exactually which floor the NICU was on, so we decided to go to the highest level and work our way down. Along the way we stopped so Kyle could smash the glass on the fire ax box that was in each stairwell. He took the ax and led us the rest of the way up the steps. We went through the access door once we reach the top and walked through. We found ourselves in a hallway with doors every six feet or so on each side. I walked up to one of them an read the plaque on the wall. “LAB NUMBER THREE: REASEARCH AND DEVELEPOMENT”. Since the entire hall had these same type of rooms, we decided this was the wrong floor and there were no patients up here, s
My Own Worst Enemy chapter 132
Dr. Marsh and i exchanged looks before he told me to go lock myself in the bathroom. like that was going to fucking happen! There was currently someone inside the hospital shooting at people or something of that nature. There was no way i was going to stay here like a sitting duck. I sat up and slid off the bed. I located a bag in one of the chairs with my cell phone, socks, and shoes. I pulled out and put on the socks and shoes than I tried calling Shane. The phone just went to voicemail. The same thing when I called Natasha than Tony. I figured I would try calling Kyle even though I knew it was a long shot since he just had surgery. I was very surprised when he answered on the second ring in a very hushed voice. “Miss Emma! You are okay! Thank the Gods. I would ask about the babies and your health but right now we got a problem. Did you hear those gun shots and those people yelling?” Kyle asked me in one breath. I rolled my eyes and said, “Of course I heard it. I’m in the surgery w
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 131
My eyes grew wide as the realization of what Dr. Marsh just said to me sunk in. two friends went into surgery and only one made it out alive! I knew one of them had to be Kyle. We did our best to make sure his wound was closed but as far as I knew he was the only one hurt. Who the fuck died! “Dr. Marsh. I only knew of one of my friends who was hurt so let us start with the good news first. Who made it out of surgery?”Dr. Marsh looked at me with pity in his eyes. I did not like the way he was looking at me it made feel uneasy like he was about to tell me my word was over. Which I guess could be possible if the person he told me died was Shane. It could not be him! I hated not knowing what happened and I could not take much more of this. If it was the love of my life, I do not think I would ever be able to bring myself to get out of the hospital bed.“Miss White, I apologize I thought you knew about both your friends. Who would you like to hear about first?” Dr. Marsch asked me sadly.
