Chapter 38
Tiffany's View
Nick fell to the ground. I got up and ran over to him.
"Nick! Oh My God!" I yelled. I was on the verge of crying. Brian ran up beside me and looked at Nick. He was conscious and bleeding out of his shoulder. I looked over at Darlene and saw her with her hands up to her mouth and tears falling from her eyes. I looked back at Nick and looked at his gun shot wound.
"Are you OK!?" I asked. He nodded his head slowly.
"Brian take your hand off him," I said. He did as I said and I took Nick's shirt off. On his right shoulder there was blood pouring out. I took his shirt and pressed down.
"Darlene get over here and keep pressing down on it hard!" I said. A couple of tears were streaming down my face. Brian looked at me sadly. Darlene came over and put Nick's head in her lap. She pressed down on his wound. Nick groaned and winced in pain.
"You'll be OK," Brian said. He then crawled over to me and wrapped me in a hug.
"Are you OK?" he asked.
"I'm fine," I cried.
"Are you sure?" he asked taking a hold of my face and looking into my eyes. Tears were falling down his cheeks. I nodded my head and kissed his lips. I heard arguing behind me so I looked and found Mandy yelling at Josh.
"Why did you shoot him!?" she screamed.
"I felt like it!" Josh yelled.
"You are such an asshole!" she screamed.
"Who cares about him anyway!"
I got up and yelled, "All of you are assholes!"
"Tiffany!" Brian yelled getting up. "Don't do that!"
"Yeah! I wouldn't do that Tiffany!" Sara yelled.
"What the hell are you going to gain from all this! HUH!? Brian will never love you so what's the point! Just doing this is pushing him further away from you!"
"Tiffany," Brian said. "Please stop"
"No Brian! They kidnapped me and Darlene and they shot my best friend! I'm not going to stop!"
"I think you should!" Sara yelled. She was raising the gun at me.
"Tiffany..." Brian started but was cut off by Josh.
"Shut the hell up pretty boy! I am sick and tired of you being so good and protecting! I'm tired of it and I'm going to solve it right now!" he yelled. He raised his gun and pointed it at Brian. Josh aimed the gun and pulled the trigger and right in front of my eyes Brian fell to the ground.
"NOOO!" I screamed. I dropped to my knees and turned Brian over. He was on his side. Tears were falling freely from his eyes. I was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Brian! OH MY GOD! Baby please hold on!" I cried. Blood was all over his shirt and the ground was forming a puddle. He just coughed up blood. I pressed down on his stomach to try to stop the bleeding.
"PLEASE! JUST HOLD ON!" I cried harder. He was looking at me sadly.
He took my hand and squeezed it. "Go in my right front pocket," he said weakly.
I did what he said and what I pulled out was a blue velvet box.
"Open it," he said softly. I opened it and found a beautiful ring. I looked at him with tear filled eyes.
"Will you marry me?" he asked.
"Yes," I said nodding my head. He smiled and squeezed my hand gently.
"I love you," he said.
"I love you too!" I cried. "You're not going to die! You're going to get through this!"
"I can't feel any pain," he said.
"NO! BRIAN! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! I NEED YOU! PLEASE!"
He coughed and looked at me sadly.
"Take good care of Michelle OK?" he said.
"BRIAN! WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CAR OF HER TOGETHER! SHE NEEDS YOU! I NEED YOU! JUST HOLD ON! PLEASE!"
"I love you," he said so softly that I could barley hear him. He raised his hand and stroked my cheek. I held it and kissed his fingers.
"Please don't go," I whispered.
"I'm sorry. Just remember that I love you," he said softly. He smiled at me, coughed and then stopped breathing.
"NO! BRIAN! PLEASE!" I sobbed. "NOT LEAVE! I LOVE YOU!" I cried. I kissed his lips and hugged him. All I did was sob on his chest. Just then I heard a gun shot. I looked behind me to find that Josh was on the ground and Sara was pointing the gun at him. Then the doors flew open and police came charging in.
"FREEZE!" they all yelled. "PUT YOUR HANDS UP!"
They did as they were told and waited as the police hand cuffed them. They were taken away and some paramedics came rushing over to Nick and over to me.
"Miss can you please move?" the guy said. I was crying still and I was still holding Brian's hand. I looked back at Brian and then kissed his hand.
"Miss, please come with us," a police officer said.
"I love you," I whispered. I let go of Brian's hand and set it on his chest. I picked up the velvet box and got up. I followed the police officer still sobbing. I looked back to find Brian being covered with a blanket and being put on a stretcher. How am I going to live without him?
