Begin Again in a New Pack

Chapter 22

                              Gabrielle's POV

After the gunshots I looked at his stomach in pure horror.

"JACOB!"

He grabbed my shoulders then fell into my arms. I sat us both down on the ground and placed him onto my lap. He asked me if I got hit and I told him I didn't think so. I picked his hand up to see how bad it was but all I saw was red. I called for help and prayed they can get here quickly. I'm guessing the people behind this were behind us.

"Oh god that's not a wolf."

"I just shot a person!"

"Nice going John. You shot someone. Why were they even out here anyway?"

"You just shot my husband!" I  shouted at them.

They ran away leaving just us by ourselves while we waited for help.

"I  went through three years of hell just to be shot. What're the odds of that happening?"

He laughed then winced.

"Hey save your breath. You're going to be okay. I swear."

I kept begging me to stay awake while he kept wiping away my tears. I leaned into his hand and put my hand on top of his. He looked down at the grass and saw it's getting stained with blood.

"Hey look at me."

"I'm glad I saw you in white."

I can tell he's struggling to stay awake.

"Jacob! You're not dying on me! Not today! Cody and Delilah need their dad! And I need you! Don't you dare close those eyes. Keep those baby blues on me. Okay? I see your dad. Look he's coming."

His head flopped to the side and then we saw people running towards us. I  put his head back on my chest.

"What exactly happened?"

As I explained what happened he faded away more. The grip he had on me and on his stomach was getting weaker and weaker.

"No no. Jacob look at me. Don't you dare go to sleep. Remember? Baby blues on me."

"I'm sorry. It's getting hard to stay awake."

They lifted him off of me and into the back of the car.
He grabbed my hand. He had his head in my lap. All I could do was play with his hair and tell him he's okay. He stared at me the entire time. Each time he'd  lose his grip on me he keep reaching for me until he couldn't anymore. Harvey put him on the stretcher. I walked with them until I couldn't anymore. They had to rip his hand off mine.

"This is as far as you can go. We need you to wait out here."

"I'll see you soon JJ."

He sat up and saw me  waving to him as they took him away. I sat down on a chair and just stared at my now red hands. My clothes had his blood all over them also. Later on I washed my hands and watched the blood flow down the drain.

"He told me to come check on you. Any pain? You have blood all over you."

"No. And it's all his. I'm okay. Is he going to be okay?"
