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.

Klay was standing in front of me. I was facing his back and he's slowly falling to his knees. "Klay!" I exclaimed and gasped as I caught him. He was heavy so we fell on the ground together.

My lips parted again and trembled when he looked at me and coughed blood. The rain kept on pouring heavily as if comforting me. My eyes watered again as stared at his face.

"Emily...is in the hospital."

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.
