Chapter 11
I couldnât see anything, for a minute I saw everything black. You know when your brain shuts down, and doesnât respond for a moment that is exactly what happened to me before I heard the back door being knocked down.
Jumping back in fright, I looked around to see who was shot.
It was Amyâs father, and looking the opposite direction it was Luke who had fired the shot. My mind still hadnât corresponded what had happened by I manage to grip onto my gun, Daniel stood there stunned as me but his expression was more of hurt and confusion like someone was playing a sick joke.
But it was the truth and he had to face it, and I was certain he couldnât cope with it after all his âtrueâ love had betrayed him.
âDrop the gun Amy,â Luke ordered here, but she didnât instead she let out a hearty laugh.
âWhat is this, a fucking family reunion?â her grip on the gun hardened and Nate was enclosed by two of Amyâs men, luckily Sophie was opposite me so I nodded to her giving her a signal. A look of confusion crossed her face before she understood and nodded back, swallowing hard I look to see that the guys had landed some blows on Nate already, he was on the floor with Amy pointing her gun at his head.
Mum please give me the strength to do this right.
Remember donât die just yet, I silently told myself moving slowly forward.
Giving Sophie a signal I moved swiftly, kicking the one of the man in his back and pulling the gun out before I fired. Sophie did the same thing but a bit faster than me, Amy moved a lot more closer to Nate crouching down and levelling the gun in front of his heart.
âOne more step and he dies,â she said, her hands were shaking and her eyes were bloodshot.
Damn, I wasnât the one to talk either blood was all over my dress and it was partly ripped from the bottom that came just above my knees but I stood there not breaking my eye contact with her. All that could be heard were Nateâs heavy breathing, câmon someone do something I willed them with my eyes but everyone stood still.
âDaniel sign the goddamn papers,â she ordered, one of her men came up behind her and took her position while she walked dragging all the attention with her of everyone in the room towards Daniel. Luke sent me and Sophie and eye contact to deal with the guy in front of Nate, we blinked back in response.
1
Everyone stayed still. Amy was with five feet of Daniel pointing the gun to his heart, asking one more time, âSign the papers Daniel, Iâm losing my patience.â
2
Daniel stared back at her, his eyes drain of emotion and left grey, empty with nothing left in them to live for.
3
We moved, another shot was fired but this time I couldnât see who was shot. Sophie shot the guy in front of Nate I ran forward rushing to Nate side.
Flinging his arm on one of my shoulders, propping his weight on my right side I dragged his beaten body out of the room towards the parking lot following Sophie who still held the gun tightly in her hand, only two more steps and I was praying that nobody could see us. Lying Nate in the back seat, I hopped in at the back with him trying to wake him up but his ribs were badly bruised.
âWhat about Luke?â I asked when Sophie revved up the car, she didnât respond but once we got out of the street she sighed loudly,
âDonât worry, theyâre gonna be fine,â she reassured me but for someone reason I doubted it someone was shot and I didnât know who. I wanted to know if Luke was safe, heck I couldnât deny the fact that I wanted to hug Daniel in joy that he was alive and I didnât bother anymore.
Sophie was definitely driving over the speed limit, but it wasnât even thirty minutes till we reached the hospital where she ripped the passenger seat stuffing the gun in it but I doubt anyone would check at an airport.
We rushed Nate into A&E where the doctors immediately saw him, taking him to the operating theatre right away while we had to fill out some forms. Sophie filled it out writing got into a fight, and came home like this hopefully they would ignore this. Bringing my legs up I hugged them against my chest before closing my eyes, leaning against Sophie.
Please let Daniel and Luke be alright.
Then the darkness claimed me too.

Someone was jolting me awake, I groaned and moved trying to push the person who was waking me up but then I snapped back into reality once my brain recollected the memories of last night. That was a bad idea, my head pounded and dizziness swarm over me so I clutched my head as someone gripped me hard steadying me.
âHey,â I heard Lukeâs voice. He sounded defeated, exhausted and out of energy just how I felt and I had sleep as well, poor Luke.
âYou need sleep,â I told him; he gave me a small smile before shaking his head.
âDanielâs still unconscious but Nate is awake,â Luke told me, my whole world stopped. Daniel was unconscious? How and why, questions were killing me but my head still couldnât cope with Daniel not being awake yet.
Deep breaths Sid, thatâs it calm down.
Luke place a steady hand on my shoulder, âWhat happened to him?â I asked in a shaky voice tears were forming in my eyes, why on earth was I feeling like this was beyond my explanation.
âHe was shot in the stomach,â Luke replied in a small voice, âheâs a fighter trust me,â giving me a smile Luke hugged me propping me up on my feet, âletâs go meet Nate.â With that we left, I followed him through the hospital corridors all of them looking the same to me.
âHeâs in there with Sophie,â Luke told me, he pushed me forward a little and I knocked on the door slightly before entering,
âSleeping beauty is finally awake,â Sophie grinned, I gave her a small smile and she got up leaving the room so it was only Nate and I.
What should I say to him?
He shouldnât have been in this mess the first place anyways,
âHey,â I whispered walking towards the chair on the left side of the hospital bed. Erie silence took over, until Nate looked up meeting my eyes,
âHey,â he responded but his tone sounded dead, âare you hurt or injured? Your perfectly fine right?â he asked all in one go, a smile crept on my face as I nodded my head to him.
âIâm perfectly fine donât worry,â I replied sternly, âwhereas you need rest, when you getting discharged?â I questioned, Nate thought about it for a second before saying,
âToday or tomorrow at the latest,â then we both kept quiet for a while lost in our own thoughts, âyou should go now,â Nate told me, those words hurt me as unintentional the hurt may be it still ached my heart.
âOh, okay so Iâll be off,â I scurried onto my feet before rushing out of his room with tears in my eyes. I was hurt, emotionally but never did I ever think for a second that Nate of all people would say this.
A little way across the corridor was Danielâs room; I trudged slowly towards his room as he had been recently out of surgery. Â Tiptoeing, I opened his door and went in slowly being as quiet as I could humanely possibly could but that wasnât enough.
Standing there I was looking at Danielâs face, I got lost in his beautiful features even lying there unconscious he seemed so effortlessly hot. I moved closer until I was mere inches away from his face, trying his scars that had been placed on his face he suddenly twitched making me jump backwards.
âWhat?â he groaned, then used one elbow to help himself up moving forward I grabbed one of his arm to help him up however he pushed me away, and even with little energy in him he still managed to push me quite a distance.
âWhat the hell are you doing here?â he sneered, âhavenât you done enough, you evil bitch you destroyed my life, my love and my fucking gang!â he shouted, his heart rate was going up rapidly and the doctor came barging in pushing past me.
âYou should get out of here Sid,â Luke told me, âyouâve done enough,â and even his voice the hint of not being wanted was there.
What the point of saving someone when youâre not going to be wanted afterwards anyways? I forced myself not to cry on the way out, Sophie gave me a hug slinging her arm around me walking together we headed back to the house.
I knew when I wasnât wanted, all I even wanted to was to save him and I did that but what hurt the most was I thought that maybe, maybe somewhere deep down in him he may love me but the answer was no.
It was always going to be a no, because like they say;
Once an outsider, always an outside and we donât mix. For the second time in my life I felt empty, not worthy enough and wanting to just fade away.
I might just do that, because I wasnât wanted after all how could I have possibly fit in the Lockwood family anyways. Sophie dropped me home offering to stay but I refused, the front door was open meant that most of the gang members were in the house looking dead as Luke and Nate were.
Rushing up to my room, I packed my belongings all my books into three bags and my ragged clothes in another, slipping out of my dress I changed into leggings, a long top wrapping a scarf around me. It was five in the afternoon, everyone was in their room sleeping wearing off the exhaustion but I was leaving and I knew I wasnât going to be missed.
Standing outside Daniel room I slipped off my ring, and slowly walked into his room leaving on the table grabbing a pen scribbling out.
Daniel, Iâm sorry I wasnât worth it and Iâm sorry for ruining your life.
Nate, Thank you for being nice to me and Iâm sorry.
Luke + Sophie, Thank you for being kind to me, youâve done more than enough that I could ever repay you so Thank you very much.
Wiping the tears with my sleeve, I grabbed my bags and hurried slowly out of the room, downstairs and out the door closing it gently.
âBye Lockwoodâs,â were my last words whispered before I wondered off into the cold, heartless night.
I was off again, leaving a place that held onto my secrets but pushed me out.
I was alone, again.
I was broke again.
But from this day now, I will not be broken again, alone yes but not broken never again because my heart couldn't take it anymore.
