Where The Bullet Lands

Livin' on a Prayer

*View of Deadshot*

I swam rapidly, I would dunk my head under water and search for her.

"I love you! I'm sorry! Come back! I love you! I love you! I love you. I love you" With each sentence my voice grew quieter. This went on for a few minutes. In the distance I could see an island. From the looks of it, Will was there. I sighed heavily. I can't do this forever, and I need his help to save her. I swam at a rapid rate. The first thing that touched land was my hand. I laid on the shore, handfuls of sand. I squeezed it tightly.

"Theseus" He ran toward me and stared at me.

"Deadshot, I will always be Deadshot" I frown.

"Where's Ann-" I interrupt him.

"At the bottom of the ocean. I was thinking that we could both go over there and-" This time he interrupts me.

"She can't die, and have you met Annie, she can literally get out of any situation. I'm sure she can learn how to swim and come find us" He processed something. "Why didn't you save her? You know she can't swim" He stares angrily at me.

"They shackled a cannon ball to her leg. I couldn't keep her from sinking, I tried. I tried so hard. I ended up trying to just die with her. But you know Annie. She pushed me into a current that lead me safely here. I tried. I tried so hard. I swam. I could've done more. I could've. I need to go back. I can find a way. I don't want that to be the last time I held her. I don't. And she was just. And I. I.... I love her" I smiled and it dropped quickly. Will is silent, processing everything I told him.

"Its hard. Its hard to lose someone, especially..... Someone you love" He swallowed hard before continuing his sentence.

"I tried. I tried so hard" I kept repeating.

"I know buddy, I know" Will put his hand on my shoulder. He had a sad look on his face. I don't want sympathy, I don't want to be in a situation with sympathy. I want to hold her. I want to kiss her. But she is gone. Not here. I didn't realize I was speaking out loud until Will replied.

"She isn't gone, we'll find a way" He said trying to calm me down.

"I'm going to go explore, see what I can find. You do whatever you need too. Except, go after her, you're too hurt and you'll die" Will warned me and started his trek into the jungle behind us. I laid on the shore, I moved to where I laid on my side. I'm sorry. I love you. Why didn't I say that to her? Why is it every time she says it, I don't have my god damn shit together. Maybe if I had replied, we wouldn't be here now. Even when she was drowning, I didn't reply. I was left speechless. I wanted to punch myself in the face for being an asshole. I wanted Annie to punch me in the face, as long as she was here. I suddenly realised something important. We are all split up. The 5 of us are all gone. Will is in the jungle, probably being mauled by a monkey. I'm on the beach shore. Annie is at the bottom of the ocean. Mary is still on the boat. And Mark, Annie's dad, is drunk and just now realising we're gone. She has to intervene. The spirit who set this all up. She is going to bring us back together. Just like when we try to leave each other. We get hit with excruciating pain. Will walks out of the jungle, he has a confused look.

"Were you crying for help?" He stares at me. I jump up quickly and ran into the jungle. He chased after me.

"What is it?!" He yelled from behind me.

"The spirit is bringing Annie back to us" I reply loudly. I follow the yelling until I see someone who is tied by their legs to an branch above them. "Annie, I'm so sorry. I love you, I'm sorry!" I began pleading as I ran to cut her down. When I turned and looked at her face I'm met with an haggard one. It's Mark? Her Dad. I guess I was right, she did want to reunite us, not Annie and I, but her Dad and I. Just great.

"It's you!" He yells happily.

"Should we cut him down" I yell at Will. He just kind of shrugs. Mark gives me a dirty look.

"Did you just say you loved my daughter?" He questioned me. I cut the rope above him and he fell down on his head. Asshole. He should be at the bottom of the ocean. "My daughter deserves someone better than you" He spits on the ground and in his drunken stupor began walking into the jungle.

"You'll die out there, but what do I care" I frown and began walking the opposite direction. Will ran over and talked to him he followed us back to the shore.
