Why did they want her?

Because Haher member of their MC, and he was the one who had to pay Or so they said

I did everything I could toer of the two hit round and was knocked clean out

By the tiht I'd failed to protect her, failed to stop the but cry in frustration

Of course, I went straight to Shepard and gave hi they'd told me He made me swear that I wouldn't tell Hammer that I was even there He said Hammer would kill the whole damn state if he knew I'd been there also

I didn't understand what he meant at the tih of thoseIt killed

But watching hi, his eyes wide and the vein in his te thing

“I' time since I've used his birth na tie of his eyes, he doesn't like it But I need him to hear me, I need to speak to Sam as well as Hammer

“I tried so hard to o of her” The tears fall frouilty I feel about what happened to Cindy No one has ever let me really rid myself of it Somehow, I doubt I'll ever be free of it “I tried to make theets to his feet and slams his hands down on the table with so s jump “I'm so sorry”

“Sorry? What the fuck good does sorry do me now, Willow?! How could you keep this from me?”

“I didn't want to I wanted to tell you, but I didn't kno”

“You didn't want to more like it! You kept it from me for your own selfish reasons!”

“No,” I shake et to my feet, and touch his arenda I just wanted to protect you fro so, I made my best friend look reckless She wasn't reckless, Haet out of the house I wanted so”

“And by doing exactly what I told you not to, I lost her! Do you have any idea what it did toto me!”

I nodin pain I've done this I've caused him more pain But he needed to know that Cindy didn't defy him, she didn't put herself in harms way deliberately

“It should have been you!” He hisses through his teeth, eyes hard with anger My heart literally sinks to my feet “You killed her!”

“No,” I whisper the word in shock

“You may not have pulled that blade across her throat, but you killed her If only you'd done as asked of you instead of thinking about your damn self for once, she'd still be here!”

“I know” I lower my head and sob “I paid for my part in her death,” I touch the scar on my neck It still hurts to touch “I think I did Maybe if you'd left me there, I would have paid fully Maybe you shouldn't have saved me”

“Maybe I shouldn't have!” He walks away fro me there in a mess of my own tears

I sink to ainst the wall ofto him now I've lost him in every way a person can lose another besides death

Maybe I shouldn't have!

His words rattle through one

He regrets saving me when he couldn't save her

MaybeBut I just couldn't keep it tohiood

I don't knohat to do now

My heart is breaking in ways I didn't knoas possible
