Chapter 0057

Pulling down my bra, I pulled out Alec’s phone. The bullet was impacted into it. There was already an

impressive purple bruise forming. “I’m okay.” Resting my head against Colt, my eyes landed on the lifeless

b*dy of Ace. “He saved me.” z

“He loved you.” Colt wrapped his arms around me as silent tears ran down my face.

“St upid fool! We had a plan!” Jacob was just as distraught as Jasper.

“Your turn, miss.” Another ambulance showed up and helped me get into the back.” We are going to take

her in to get all this glass removed.”

“We will be there shortly.” Colt said as he looked back at Ace.

“Jasper, need a ride to the hospital?”

“Yes.” He jumped in and grabbed my hand. “Thank you for saving Alec.” Tears swelled in his eyes as the door shut and we started driving. I just felt numb. Ace lost his life and Alecs was barely hanging on.

All

because they wanted me.

The EMTs started a line and put in a dose of antibiotics. They checked my head to make sure it w

too terrible looking. “That looks okay.

“Yeah, the tree broke my fall.” I said sarcastically bit chy.

“How long t

long till we are there?” Jasper asked.

“In thirty seconds.”

Right on cue, it came to a stop and the doors opened. As they wheeled me in, I made eye contact with

Marc. He ran over to me. “Is she okay?”

“After we hung up, I put Alec’s phone in my bra. Here.” I handed it back to him. His fingers touched the bullet that was stuck in it. “Maybe you will be able to save it.”

Marc was silent before straightening up.” You saved Alec, I will forever be in your debt. I understand you

lost one of your tonight.”

“Ace. Yes.” More tears came down.

“We need to take her back.” Marc stepped back and the gurney started moving again.

Two hours later, they picked all the glass out and stitched up my forehead. Magically, no broken bones,

just hematomas and deep bone bruising.

Colt came in with a wheel chair. “Ready?”

“I’m not leaving.”

“I know, we are going to see Alec.”

“Is he okay?”

“He’s awake. Come on. He’s threatening to get up if he doesn’t see you.”

That made me smile as I got in the wheel chair. Colt gave me his shirt since they cut my bra off. I still had

my shorts though. We went down a few hallways before we heard yelling.

“Alec calm down before they have to sedate you!” I heard Marcs voice.

“Where is she?” He yelled.

“Right here.” I said quietly. Everyone turned and looked at me.

“You’re alive!” Alec tried to get out of bed but three pairs of hands were holding him down.

Standing up, Colt helped me to his bedside. Alec scooter over so I could sit. His hand wrapped around

me in a hug. “Are you okay?”

“Your phone saved me.” I said.

“What?” Alec asked.

“Here.” Marc handed Alec’s phone back to me. Alec looked at the bullet. “What happened?” I realized dad

walked in the room too..

“Kristen!” He came up to me and gave me a hug.

“Daddy!”

“I heard the crash. I was so f ucking scared.” Dad dried his eyes.

“We all did.” Colt stated. “You were on speaking phone. Jacob and A-ace.”

“Frankie was my appointment tonight. His grandma died so Alec wanted to get his tattoo finished. So we we went there. After it was done, Jasper was suppose to train with me to get me ready for Saturday.

We heard the tires,…” My eyes closed as tears fell down. Alec grabbed my hand.

“They shot at us.”

“Alec got on top of me and covered me. I didn’t know you were hit!” More years started streaming “We

got thrown from the car Landed on the hood Lost my phone I was able to open Alec’s door and his phone was there. After I put a turaquette on him, I called you” I looked at Marc “I heard their car so!

carried Alec and hid him. He wasn’t moving and lost so much blood Anyway, I heard their car doors knew there was at least three. I can’t take three by myself so I snuck around. I was able to kill one but they heard. I had the gun,” I couldn’t continue as I broke down. Alec pulled me towards him as I cried.
