Chapter 68

Shout out to m00000007 for the amazing cover above^^^

"I thought you left me," I said, my eyes adjusting the bright light.

"I'm a gentleman. I can't leave a pretty girl all by herself in such a creepy area." Travis explained.

I nodded before I realized something.

"What exactly took you so long to reach here?" I asked him.

Tyler who had a gun pointed at Cole was unaware, that Cole started moving since Tyler was busy looking at Travis just like the rest of us.

James was also staring at Travis in confusion.

"I lost the way." He said, and I nodded.

"Wait, turn around, Travis," Jessica said, suspiciously.

I couldn't help but smile.

Maybe she noticed.

Travis gave her a confused look, before turning around.

Everyone started laughing at the sight of the big hole at the back of his head.

"What's up, with the hairdo?" Brody asked him, as he calmed himself down.

"I and Xandra got a new haircut before coming here. You like my hair?" Travis asked.

It took me all my might not to say, Gee, thanks just bought it.

"I fucking love it. You've gone half  bald." Brody said, smirking.

Travis' colors of his face drained away.

He touched his hair, before realizing what was wrong.

"Why?" He asked me.

"I'm sorry. Your haircut was taking too long, and besides, it's the hairdresser's fault. You can go fight with her later on." I said, sheepishly.

"Wait, Xandra. You got a haircut as well." Antony stated, looking at me.

I nodded at him.

"But long hair looked better on you." James pointed out.

"Don't worry, it'll grow again," I said, smiling a little.

"No girl is ever going to look at me again. I'm going to die single." Travis said, looking as though I told him that he had a deadly disease.

"Hey, that's not the truth. Your hair will grow again. Besides, you're a good looking boy, you'll get a decent girl." I explained.

"You think I'm good looking?" Travis asked, smiling.

I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

"Shut the fuck up," Cole said, as he quickly snatched the gun from Tyler's hand.

Tyler was caught off guard, as Cole stood up with his gun, pointed at his way.

Tyler looked shocked, as James moved forward and punched Tyler in the face.

Tyler couldn't see properly, as James punched him again and again.

I watched this scene unfold.

James was innocent all along.

Cole explained to me this before.

Tyler, my best friend wanted to kill me today.

"No!" I shouted as Tyler punched James really hard, caused James to fall on the ground.

Cole had his gun raised at Tyler.

Tyler smirked, wiping the blood off his nose.

He turned to look at me.

"He wants to die." He said, referring to Cole.

"But you'll be the one dying," Cole said his tone firm.

Tyler started laughing, he laughed so hard that I thought he was mental.

Wait, he is mental.

Cole looked at him, confused.

Tyler stopped laughing, as he grabbed the gun from Cole's grasp.

Cole was caught off guard, as he was held by gunpoint.

I had to do something.

I walked towards Cole, as I stood beside him.

Cole looked at me, only to jerk back as I heard the bullet go off.

I looked down at Cole's arm, only to find it bleeding very much.

His blood wasn't red, it looked black, to be honest.

"Oh, God," I whispered as I stared at his arm.

Cole, though being in pain, didn't act like he was hurt.

I looked at Tyler, who was smirking widely.

"Who's going to die today?" He mockingly asked me.

I've had enough.

I stormed towards Travis who was muttering things like he won't be the same anymore all because of his hair.

He stared at me, as I neared him, before pulling out the gun from his pocket.

Travis stood shocked as I stormed back to Tyler.

I raised my gun at him.

Tyler looked amused, as he raised his gun at Cole again.

Cole stared at me, eyes widened.

"Harm me and I'll kill Cole," Tyler said, smirking at me.

At that moment everyone got silent.

I noticed Brody sneaking up at Tyler from behind.

In up to two seconds, Tyler was tackled to the ground again.

I stared at the two of them fighting.

I turned to look at Cole, who smiled at me.

"Now that's my badass." He said, winking at me.

I smiled at him, as I told him that James had given me the gun.

I guess James knew something like this was going to happen.

I looked over at Cole's bleeding arm, it was still bleeding.

Looking at James, I realized that he was moving a little.

I looked over at Jessica who was watching Brody who was fighting Tyler.

Bethany sat on her chair, shocked.

All of a sudden, Tyler hit Brody at the back of his head with his gun.

Brody froze.

"NO!" Jessica screamed in horror.

Tyler pulled Brody off him as he stood up.

He stood in front of me, as he raised his gun and pulled the trigger at me.

My body jerked back, as I started falling.

"No!" I heard Cole yelled, as my hearing capacity became low.

He shot me in the stomach.

Tyler shot me in the stomach.

I didn't fall on the ground, as Cole caught me.

"Don't faint. Stay awake." Cole whispered as he placed my head on his lap.

My mind still couldn't process the fact that my best friend shot me.

I heard the gunshot again.

"No!" I faintly heard James shout.

The next thing I know is that my gun was snatched from my hand.

And, another gunshot.

"I won't survive this." I coughed out, closing my eyes.

I heard Jessica scream in terror and Bethany's cries.

"You will," Cole said, determined.

"I want to tell you something before I die." I choked out, as the pain got unbearable.

"You aren't dying," Cole said back.

"I love you," I said, closing my eyes again.

My breath wasn't steady.

I won't survive this.

I faintly heard the sirens voice.

"The cops are here." I heard Ryder say.

"I...I love you too." I heard Cole's last voice before I...

Before I fell into the darkness, hoping I would never return.
