The Start of Forever

Kelly's

POV

I sucked my breath as I started panting. I sniffed and swallowed hard, realizing nothing pierce through my skin. I wasn't shot. Who was shot?

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I thought of one possible reason why there was no bullet that pierce through my skin. Slowly, with racing and aching heart, I turned around, praying that Pierce was safe. Hoping that he's still unconscious.

I lifted my trembling hand and gently touched the back of his head. "I'll bring you to the hospital."

"It's t-time..." he groaned in pain and coughed blood again.
