Why we were chosen.

Chapter 44

The end is near! Enjoy ❤️

Austin managed to tackle his dad onto the floor before standing on his feet, Kyle still on the floor from the hard blow. "Fuck!" Austin yelled once he picked up the weapon. "Don't move!" He angrily pointed the weapon to him. He held the gun towards the man he shared blood with while his free hand hastily stood Lauren up and attempted to free her of the ropes.

"What are you doing, Austin?" Kyle angrily glared up at his son. "You're my son, you should be helping me! Not them!" Austin was quick to shake his head, glancing at Zendaya, who used the razor Austin handed her earlier to cut the ropes. Zendaya quickly made her way to Lauren and began to untie her as well, allowing Austin to hold the gun with two hands.

"They're my best friends." Austin said as his eyes began to tear up. Kyle wiped blood from his nose before snarling at his son.

"You think they're your friends?" He scoffed. "They nearly killed your sister. Their parents killed my wife! They even broke your heart! They're nothing to you!"

"They're more to me than you've ever been!" The green eyed boy defended the people he loved. Kyle quickly turned his attention to the stairs where the rest of his friends were standing. "Don't even think about it!" Austin yelled when he saw the look on Kyle's face. Austin quickly nodded towards Camila, "get her out of here." He said. Everyone was quick to get into action.

Dinah and Olivia began to untie Camila while Alyssa tried to stop the bleeding. Ally helped Becky get free, reassuring her that Amy was safe. Normani had stayed upstairs to attend to Zayn. Meanwhile Harry stood between the girls and Kyle, making sure he wouldn't spontaneously try to attack.

"You're weak!" Kyle shook his head in disappointment. "I should have raised you instead of your mother, she made you weak! You couldn't even kill the people who tormented you for years!" He tried to lunge at Austin, but he quickly moved aside and shoved his father to the floor again.

"Stop!" Austin yelled again while Lauren made her way beside Camila, everyone trying to cut the ropes. "Just stop, dad, please. This isn't right." He began to release tears as Kyle stood up. "I don't want to have to kill you." His voice cracked.

"You won't have to if you just give me the gun." Kyle held out his hand. "Let me end all of this. We can start over in a new country okay. Just you and me."

"No." Austin shook his head through tears. He quickly glanced at his friends when he heard a whimper. He watched as Dinah and Alyssa put pressure on Camila's wounds while Harry, Olivia, and Ally carefully lifted Camila off of the chair, gently laying her on the ground.

"Austin!" Becky yelled out when she saw Kyle run towards him with the knife in his hand. Austin quickly panicked when he saw his dad running towards him with the weapon. He froze. The gun in hand felt heavy as his finger rested on the trigger. One. Two. Three. Three rounds were heard before Kyle's lifeless body fell to the ground. Austin stared at his dads body in terror. Had he just killed his father?

"Dwayne! Help!" Lauren cried out when she saw her guard at the bottom of the stairs, lowering his gun after he had shot Kyle. Dwayne glanced at the teenager before nodding his head. 

"Take her upstairs! The paramedics are on their way!" He instructed them before he made his way to Kyle, to make sure he was no longer a threat.

Harry, Olivia and Ally all grabbed hold of Camila and began to carry her up the stairs while Dinah ran to her car to grab her health kit. Alyssa followed after her, instead going to Austin's car, knowing he had a large emergency case in his trunk.

"Camz, you're going to be fine, okay?" Lauren said through tears as she held onto her hand tightly. "You're going to be okay." Camila could only squeeze Lauren's hand as she was carried through the house.
