Song: Let her Go- Passenger

Zane POV:

I let her go, because I know that I can't make her stay. She was more hurt than pissed off. My heart just keeps on breaking.

I couldn't go to sleep at all knowing she is out there but I know where she is; she out at the lake. I pulled up Rebel's chip that we had planted in him the day we got him, it dings on the computer where he is and I know she is with him. She stayed there all night but she told me not to go after her and I am going to try my best not to.

I barely ate breakfast and now I'm in the workout room taking a beating from Marcus.

"What's going on?" I hear Atticus from across the room. "And where is Scar?"

"She never came back last night." I continue fighting.

"Do you want me to go get her?"

"No, and she is at the lake with Rebel." I fall down and get back up. "She knows the truth." I say as I swing at Marcus.

"What do you mean the truth?"

"She knows everything." I look over at him which was stupid on my part because Marcus fist comes right across my jaw bringing blood to the skin.

"Everything!"

"Dammit yes, every god damn bit of it."

"You told her who you were?"

"She knows."

"Damn man and I guess she is not taking it well."

"She will come back; I just have to give her time."

"And you think she will forgive you that fast?"

"No, but she only has us; we are her only family. Let's just give her time to process this shit she was really pissed off at me last night."

"I don't blame her."

I glare at him. He knows everything because he was there with me that night when I took her. I finish up my good ass kicking and walk over to grab a towel and then Atticus and I head out to the pool.

Damn hours have passed and I know she is still there. She hasn't eaten a thing since she left and I know she has got to be starving by now. She is going to end up making herself sick. It's taking everything in my power not to send Atticus after her. But after another two hours I decide that I will go get her instead.

When I get to the pier she is sitting there looking out at the lake. I walk up behind her and sit down beside her. I brought Rebel some food because I know he is starving as for her I brought her a sandwich. I hand it to her but she doesn't move, not even a blink of an eye.

Shit I did this to my baby girl. I did this and I don't know how to fix it.

I sit beside her for a little while longer and she still hasn't moved, however she is breathing thank god. Seeing her this way scares the shit out of me.

"Scar talk to me; what can I do?"

She doesn't reply and she sits there like she has been frozen in time.

"Scarlett, I know I should have told you I'm sorry. I should have never kept it from you, but I just didn't know how to tell you. I knew you would hate me. I can't have you hating me."

I get up and stand in front of her and then squat down. I glare into her eyes, nothing is there. I can't let her leave me. I won't let her leave me.

"Scarlett, sweetheart snap out of it." I shake her and she doesn't move and everything I try nothing is working. Damn where has she gone too.

"Scar I'm going to pick you up and carry you home."

I reach down and pick her up in my arms and carry her to the car. I put her in and then I get in, before I know it we are there and she still hasn't flinched. What the hell!

Atticus meets me at the door. "Do you need help sir? What happened?"

"I don't know I found her this way at the lake; can you go grab a bottle of water."

"Yes sir."

I carry her up to her room and put her in bed. Then I try to make her drink the water but it keeps coming back out because she is not swallowing it. I have never seen anyone like this and it's starting to really freak me out.

"You want me to call the doctor sir?"

"Not yet, let's give her time to sleep it off and if that doesn't work then yes."

I move the chair in her room closer to her bed and sit down to watch her sleep. I just can't seem to leave her side. I can't lose the only thing that I have ever really cared about.

Scarlett's POV:

When I wake up, somehow I am in my bed, in my room. I don't recall how I got here and I don't know how long I have been asleep.

I notice someone has moved the chair up closer to my bed and is now sitting in it with his hands between his legs. He hears me shifting in the bed and pulls up to look at me.

"God you scared the shit out of me," says Zane.

"I'm sorry." I yawn. "How long was I sleeping?"

"It's been two days. You were like in a trance or something. I found you at the pier and you were zoned out. You got bad sunburn as well from being out there. I had to call the doctor to come give you an IV to get fluids in you because you wouldn't eat."

"Oh!"

"Baby girl, please forgive me I never meant to hurt you."

"My whole life has been a lie and you just think I can forgive you for the choices you made for me."

"No but you got to try to. I can't live without you. You are all I have left of your mom."

"Zane you put the hit out." My eyes are burning with tears as I try to hold them in.

"Draven and I were close friends. He was supposed to take out Nathan. Your mom was to be with you taking care of you but she was stubborn and thought she could save him. She seen Draven and he had no choice but to do what he did."

When I just sit there and not say anything he continues.

"He called me said that the job was done. I was coming to comfort your mom and bring her back home with me. I was going to have my girl back where she belonged and my baby girl. When I got there, she was already gone there was nothing I could have done to bring her back."

"So you brought me back here and created the monster that I am."

"You're not a monster."

"Am I not. I clean up dead bodies and destroy them so no one could ever find them. I've killed people myself. Who does that? Not a normal girl. I like to watch people suffer. I actually get a high off of it; so tell me if that is not a monster I don't know what one is?"

"Your life is just unique. Yes different but you are not a monster."

"No I'm just the cleaner's daughter, one fucked up girl."

"Scar!"

"No...my mom left because she wanted me to have a better life. She didn't want me to live in your world and the one thing you do is put me in your world. You made me like you."

"I know. I didn't know what to do. I have never been a dad or even been around kids. I was messed up. I was still suffering from losing her and I just didn't know what to do."

"Zane I don't want to hear excuses any more, I'm done."

"I love you, you know that right? I would die for you. You are my everything."

"That's why you punish me, because you love me, seriously?"

"I...that's just my way, I don't know any other way to make you listen to me."

I sit up all the way in the bed and stare at him. "From this moment forward you will never punish me again. You will never lay a hand on me. You will never tell me what I can and cannot do. You want me in your life you will have to respect me for who I am. You created this monster after all. I will make mistakes and I will do things that will piss you off. However if I'm your real daughter you will trust me in everything I chose to do. I don't know if I'll ever forgive you for my mother's death, but I'm willing to be your daughter as fucked up as that sounds because in reality I know you really care for me."

"I will do whatever you need me to do just don't leave me."
