The Mafia King

Gunshot

The way that you move
You take me to heaven
The things that you do
You've got me confessin'
(Got me confessing)

You fell from the sky
A type of perfection
Is this real life?
(Is this real life?)
Something about you

I sit waiting by the stairs by myself. I don't know what to do. I can't do anything. Ace told me to stay here for my safety, but what if I'm found anyway. He's trying to protect me and his mafia, but what if he's hurt? I sigh and grab one of my knives from my leg again. Waiting for something to happen, I feel a kick in my stomach. I groan loudly as it basically knocks me over. I sit on my butt and my legs to the side. Knife still in hand someone runs by. I gasp and cover my mouth.

I've been in shit like this, but now I'm pregnant. I'm alone and pregnant.

Someone else runs by and looks at me. His dark dirty blonde hair is sweaty and in his face slightly. He wear ripped jeans and a black t-shirt. His eyes are like a brownish with blue in them. His face is constructed nicely, nice jaw, nose and mouth. He points his gun at me and I whimper in fear. Not fear of getting shot, but fear of killing this baby because I got shot. He bites his lip and takes a shot before running away. I grunt as the bullet hits me. The bullet now in my side causes me to fall backward more than I already am. A tear escapes my eye and I scream for Ace.

The bullet is near the baby I think. I'm not sure at this point. Everything is spinning and I'm trying to stay awake. My arms get tired and numb so I lay down completely. My eyes become heavy, but I force them to stay open as long as possible. Footsteps approach me then I hear screaming. "Olive! Wake up! Stay with me Olive! Come on girl!"

The voice is familiar, but at the moment I can't tell who it is. My eyes flutter open and I see Slash hovering over me. "There ya go girl. Your gonna be okay, you just gotta stay awake for me yeah?" He nods as if I give an 'ok'.

He screams again, "Ace where the fuck are you?"

Everything seems to settle down as I see Ace slide on his knees right next to me. "Baby!" He whimpers. Tears well in his eyes and I grip his hand.

"It's- okay," everything is black after that.

--Ace pov--

I was trying to make sure everyone was okay and alive. I thought she was hidden right there. I didn't think they would find her. The last words she spoke were "It's okay." If she dies it's not okay. If she doesn't make it I don't think I'll survive this. She has to survive so I survive. I can't lose her.

I'm pulled from my thoughts by Slash yelling at me. We're at the hospital now. She went into surgery a couple minutes ago. "Ace!" I hear Slash yell.

I jolt my head and look at him. My eyes are puffy and red, tears are still falling I think. At this point nothing matters to me. I feel like my life has been ripped away from me. Nothing will help if she dies.

"Are you listening to me?" Slash asks, pulling me from my thoughts yet again.

I shake my head, words can't come out of my mouth right now. I open my mouth to speak, but close it again as nothing comes out.

"Ace pull it together man! She needs you right now! You can't be like this dude. You have to think that she's going to come out of this, even if you don't actually believe it!" He growls.

He's angry and he has every right to be.

I look around me, the white walls of the hospital are scattered with photos of landscapes or trees. Windows scatter the walls too. I wish this chair could just consume me right now. I sigh and put my head in my hands. Covering my ears as Slash continues to talk to me. I drown out his voice. Looking at the floor I realize I'm probably covered in blood of all the people I shot plus Olive's.

A man walks in front of us and I stare at his shoes. I uncover my ears and listen to what he's saying, but I don't look at him.

"Olive is going to be fine. It was a minor gunshot. It didn't hurt it hit the baby, but we will have to deliver the baby tonight! Olive lost quiet a bit of blood so we will be delivering the baby in a few minutes, if you'd like to come with you can. If not I'll leave you here!" He says in a sincere tone.

He takes a step back as I stand up, "I'll come with." I say in a low voice. Words almost didn't come out.

Slash sighs, "at least she's okay Ace!"

"I know, I'm just scared."

"I'll give you a second. I'll be over here when your ready sir!"

"Thank you," I nod as he leaves.

"What's going on in your head man?"

"I'm scared. I've never had a kid or loved someone this much before! If she were to die I wouldn't have survived either. I'm happy she's alive, but I'm still scared! Something bad could always happen."

He nods, "I get it man. Just go and hold her hand the entire way. If she's awake or not, hold her hand and don't let go until your golding your baby ok?"

I nod back, "okay."

I walk over to the doctor and he takes me to Olive's room. They start to delivery and I do as Slash said, hold her hand the entire way. I held on tightly and I could feel her toghen the grip too. She wasn't awake fully, but she wasn't asleep completely either. The doctor talked me through what he was doing, but I wasn't paying attention. I was focused on my princess on the table.
