Allies POV

    "Will you please sing it tonight Allie?" Calum begged. We had been working on a song together, but I didn't know if I wanted to perform it yet. There were 2 hours before our last show so I had to decide.

"I don't know Calum. The other girls don't know their parts."

"Yes they do. Me and the boys taught them but told them to not tell you."

"Ok, I'll do it. But you have to sing with me."

"Deal" he agreed, shaking my hand. I laughed and told him I was going to take a shower.

    Once I was done in the shower I got dressed. I wore denim shorts, a black top, a flannel button up, and black vans. I straightened my hair and put on makeup.

   After I was done getting ready I sat on the couch and ate some crisps. Charlie sat beside me and took some of my crisps. "There's more crisps you know?" I teased him.

"I know, but yours are better and not as far away."

"You're lazy."

"But you like it, so it's ok" he said with a wink. I laughed and playfully hit his arm. He brought his face down to mine and put our lips together. I leaned into him and his hand went onto my back. Just as I was putting my arms around his neck I heard someone cough in the background. We pulled apart and blushed as we saw Leo. "Charlie mate, she's still my cousin. Al pal, he's still my best friend" Leo said. We laughed and nodded and Leo left the room. I missed this. A lot...

    We arrived at our last venue. I got out of the car and waited for everyone else. Annie and I walked into our dressing room and took out our guitars. "So are we going to sing your song?" Annie asked.

"I guess so. Do you know the part?"

She nodded and we played through it. I can't believe I'm going to do this.

   An hour later it was time to perform. We went through our usual songs before mine. "Tonight is very special because we're going to sing our first original song. I hope you like it" I said to the crowd. Calum walked out from the curtain and stood beside me. All of the girls screamed and I waited for it to die down before we began.

   Maggie counted us off and we started to play the chords. I sang the first verse and Calum joined me on the chorus. Then he sang the second verse and I joined him and we sang the rest together. When we were done the crowd erupted with applause. I looked at Calum and gave him a side hug because of our guitars.

    We went backstage and took our guitars off. All of the girls squeezed me into a group hug until I couldn't breathe. Once we were done celebrating I went to find Charlie. He wasn't in any of the dressing rooms so I went to look outside.

   While I was walking around the venue I heard someone talking. I almost screamed as I saw what was happening. Someone was pointing a gun at Charlie about to shoot him. I ran as fast as I could and jumped in front of Charlie.

    Everything started to go blurry. I felt Charlie pick me up onto his lap. The last thing I saw was Charlie's face with tears running down his cheeks. Then every thing went black...

Charlie's POV

    I held Allie in my arms with tears blurring my vision. Her eyes closed and her body went limp. I yelled for help until I couldn't breathe. Leo, Annie, Ashley, and Maggie came running up to me. Ashley saw what happened and called an ambulance. "What happened Charlie?" Leo asked sitting next to me.

"I.. I was out here and Jake pulled me back here and... and he took out a gun then... Allie ran in front of me and Jake shot her" I cried. The ambulance pulled up and took Allie away from me. Leo and I got into the back with Allie and Ashley, Annie, and Maggie went to tell security.

   I took Allie's hand and cried. There was nothing else I could do. We got to the hospital and they rushed Allie to surgery. Leo and I watched them take her away and sat on the chairs waiting for her to come back.  

   A couple hours later I saw a doctor walking towards us. I shook Leo's shoulder and he sat up. "Are you here with Allie?" He asked us.

Leo nodded and said, "yes. I'm her cousin. How is she?"

"We got the bullet out and stopped the bleeding, but she's in a coma. We don't know when she wake up or if she'll wake up. You can go see her if you'd like."

   We nodded and went into Allie's room. She laid there lifeless. As if there was nothing but skin and bones. I sat in a chair beside her bed and took her hand. Leo sat on the other side and cried.

"I'm sorry Leo. This is all my fault. I should've never liked her in the first place. Then this wouldn't have happened."

"It's not your fault Charlie. All we can do is hope that she stays with us."

   I didn't say anything and laid my head on Allie's bed. I fell asleep and hoped that I would dream of Allie. I loved her. Every thing about her. Her smile, her laugh, the way she cares about everyone, how she looks at life. Every single flaw. I loved her more than life itself...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   After 2 days Leo and I had to leave. Allie's mum was staying there with her. We were going to school, but it wasn't the same without her.

We went to the park, but it wasn't the same without her.

We did everything, but it wasn't the same without her.

I missed her like crazy and I cried my self to sleep every night. I was cutting again and sometimes I wished I was dead. I couldn't live without her.
