Only You [Jacob Seed - Far Cry 5]

Chapter 25

Warning: language, violence, death, etc.

***

I woke up the next day, loud bangs and yelling outside my cell. As fast as I could, which wasn't very fast, I took off my back brace so I could stand up, throwing the brace to the ground. Slowly, I got up on my feet, holding onto the wall for support. Making my way toward the cell door, I turned the knob and the door opened. That was weird... My cell was always locked. Anyway, I held onto the wall to walk out of my cell and the thing I seen made my heart drop.

It was Jacob.

My mouth was agape as I witnessed Eric was on top of my boyfriend. Eric had his fist in the air as he landed a punch to Jacob's jaw. Then, Jacob elbowed Eric in the face, causing Eric to topple over onto his side holding his nose.

"Jacob!" I shouted as I tried to walk as fast as I could to him.

He turned around, looking at me as he quickly stood up. "Axl?" Jacob's face changed from angry to worry as he sprinted over to me.

What happened next felt like slow motion. I seen Eric behind Jacob, aiming a gun at his back.

"No!" I screamed as I moved in front of Jacob, taking the bullet.

The bullet penetrated my stomach as I fell on the ground. Instead of pain, there was a burning sensation that disseminated all throughout my stomach as I held my hands over the wound in an attempt to slow the bleeding.

Like lightning, Jacob pulled out his matte black 1911 and fired at Eric's head, causing him to drop dead in an instant. His death was too painless; he didn't deserve that quick of a death. Eric's death should've been torturous and full of torment and pain and agony.

Jacob kneeled beside me on the ground. "I'm gonna call in some men. Okay? You're gonna be fine. I'm gonna get ya out of here, girl. I'm gonna get ya out of here." Jacob said, but mostly to himself. He raised his radio up to his lips. "BRING IN A DAMN HELICOPTER, NOW! AXL HAS BEEN SHOT! WE NEED TO TAKE HER TO FAITH'S BUNKER, STAT! YOU BETTER HURRY YOUR ASS OVER HERE, BRADY!" My boyfriend screamed over his CB, turning it off after. He then placed his hands on top of mine, applying more pressure on the bullet hole. "Why'd you take the bullet?! You should've let it hit me!"

"I wasn't going to let that happen." I smiled as I coughed; blood began pouring out of my mouth. "This must be the end." Tears filled my eyes as I looked up at my lover, cherishing this moment.

"No! You're not gonna die on me! Stay with me, babygirl." He whispered the last part as he leaned closer to my face.

I could see tears threatening to cascade down his face. "I... If I don't make it... I just want you to know that... I love you... I always have, Jake." I confessed as I looked into his bright blue eyes; a single tear escaped his left eye. Taking my hand off of my wound, I put my bloodied hand on his cheek. "Kiss me."

He lowered his head and softly placed his chapped lips on my busted ones. It was a sweet, gentle kiss... Filled with passion and true love. When he pulled away, I smiled as my eyes started to get heavier and heavier...

"Don't you dare go to sleep. You stay strong, pup. Come on." Jacob started rubbing his beard on my cheek to keep me awake, not wanting his hands to leave my bleeding out stomach.

"I'm so happy I got to see you one last time." I grinned as blood spurted out of my mouth.

Some of my blood was on his cheek.

"Don't say that. You're gonna make it." Jacob stated gruffly as he applied more pressure to my wound if that was even possible. "I can't live without you, babygirl. Stay awake for me, please."

I started to see black dots clouding my vision and my breathing began to get even more ragged. Closing my eyes, I smiled. I was content knowing I got to be with Jacob during my last moments alive. I opened them once more to see Jacob just inches away from my face.

"The chopper should be here in a few minutes." He took both hands off my wound and stood up with me in his arms. Jacob then placed one hand on my stomach, putting pressure on the wound and carried me with his left arm.

We almost made it out of Eric's house, but I was on the verge of either going unconscious from blood loss or dying. I couldn't tell, but I could feel myself drifting away.

"Don't do this to me, babygirl. You're gonna make it, Axl. You're gonna make it, I promise." His voice cracked as everything went black...
