Change (l.r.h)

Guns

"POOR ASH AND KAYLA." Carson says into the intercom. "YOU TWO THOUGHT YOU GOT AWAY FROM ME." I can't stand hearing this, so I cover my ears. "YOU THOUGHT WRONG! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE TODAY. ANYONE THAT GETS IN THE WAY OF MY MEN AND I ARE GOING TO DIE. WE WILL GET YOU." I can still hear him with my ears covered. 

"Kayla." Luke says, grabbing me, "Shh, it's okay." He says, holding me his chest.

"I've never been this scared in my life." I say, burying my head into his chest.

"He is crazy." I hear Ashton say. "Kayla." He says, reaching for me. "Hey, we're going to be okay."

"Please be right Ashton. Please." I grab his hand and squeezes it. "Please Ashton."

"I promise." He smiles.

We seat there in silence. Hearing screams, gunshots, and laughter. He really isn't there in the mind. He is absolutely crazy. All of a sudden, a cellphone starts going off. 

"Get that Kayla." Ashton half whispers, half shouts. I crawl over and notice it's Hanley's phone.

"Hello Kayla." I hear Hanley say.

"Hanley! Where the fuck are you?!" I half shout and whisper.

"Outside the window, let me in." She says. I look out the window and see her. I get up and open the window for her. 

"I thought you got shot!!" Luke whispers." 

"I'm fine, but I need you to stay with Ash." She says. 

"What's going on Hanley?" I ask.

"I have a plan and I need you guys to not move until I come to get you. Hunter and Kendrix should be-" She stops as the lights go out. She hands us 3 flashlights and a gun.

"H-Hanley." I say.

"Listen to me, Kayla." She grabs my hand and places the gun in my hand. "Carson has planned to kill you and Ash, along with Luke. I am here to make sure that and no one get killed. Now, if someone other than myself comes in, shoot, unless their names are Kendrix and Hunter. Understand?" She asks me. I don't know if I can. My hands shake. "You can do this." She smiles. 

She goes over to Ashton and kisses him. I crawl back over to Luke. 

"I love you." Ashton says to Hanley. "Come back to me."

"I will." Hanley says and walks out. 

"Please tell me why this Carson guy wants to kill you two?" Nurse Jackson asks.

"It's a long story." Luke says. 

It's quite. Too quite. I look at Luke and then I look at Ashton. 

"I think he is go-." Luke starts to say, until a loud knock sounds through the room.

"I know you two are in there." I hear Carson say from the other side. The doorknob starts to turn. I stand up, aiming the gun at the door. The door opens up and there stands a smirking Carson. "Hello guys." He says. His men aim their guns at me. Carson puts his hand up. "Hey, I got this. You all go find some other people. I'll handle them." Carson says. His men walk away and he walks in and closes the door. I know I need to shoot him. I need to, but I can't.

"Wow. Little Kayla Holt holding a gun. This is a lovely sight." Carson smiles.

"You're crazy." I say, gun still aimed at him.

"STOP!" He yells. He reaches up and pulls out a gun too, aiming it right at me. "I was wanting to make you my little sex slave honey." Carson says, he drops the gun real quick. I look at him really confused. 

"What are you doing Carson?" I ask.

He starts to walk up to me. "I'll shoot you Carson, I swear." I threaten. 

"I don't believe you will sweetie." He says, taking another step towards me. "I have a riddle for you. When's a door not a door?" He asks.

"What?" Luke and Ashton ask at the same time.

"When is a door not a door?" He asks again. "Do you know Kayla?"

"No." I say, the gun still pointed at him. 

"When it's ajar." He says, grabbing me and turning me around, his hand around mine with the gun. 

"Carson." Ashton says.

"Shut up." He moves my arm and aims the gun at Ashton. 

"Sir, let her go." Nurse Jackson says. 

"Shut up." Carson says moving me and aiming the gun at her. He then puts the gun up to my head. My hand still on the trigger and his over mine. 

"Please Carson. Don't." I plead through tears.

"Kayla!" Luke says. 

"Stop Luke. If you move I shoot her." Carson says. Luke stops.

"Sir. Please listen to me. Let her go." Nurse Jackson says, standing up. 

It happens so quick. My arm is moved, he pushes my finger down and a loud bang is heard through the room. He just shot Nurse Jackson. I shot Nurse Jackson. He made me do it. 

"Okay, now that miss bossy is gone. Last riddle. Everyone has it but no one can lose it. What is it?" He asks. I continue to cry. I'm crying so hard that I can't breathe. "No one knows it?" He asks, pulling the gun back up to my head. 

"A shadow motherfucker." Someone says and there is another bang. Carson and I fall to the ground.

"KAYLA!" I remember hearing, before everything goes black.
