Saving The Broken

Chapter 34

Tyler's Point Of View 

A scream pierced through the air as a gun shot rang out, I raced forwards as Cash drops Gracie's body to the ground. I catch her in my arms dropping my gun and not paying attention to anything other then the girl in my arms

"NO" I screamed cradling her body in my arms "No, Gracie, no don't leave me!" 

Gun shots could be heard around me, but I was only focused on Gracie. I knew there was something wrong when she wouldn't open her eyes or move her body -but I didn't want to think of anything other then her being unconscious

"Tyler" a hand was placed on my shoulder and I jumped looking over to see Nash with a sorrowful look on his face 

"N-Nash" my voice cracked. Nash placed two of his fingers on Gracie's neck

"S-she's gone" Nash whispered lightly

"N-no, she can't be" I pulled her closer to my body "I promised I get her out of here alive" tears fell from eyes -I do not remember the last time I cried- I cried into her neck trying to keep myself together

"She's not coming back Tyler" Mason crouched down next to me speaking with a soft voice that I've never heard him speak

I stood up carrying Grace in my arms bridle style, I walked her out of the warehouse. Setting her in the backseat I whipping my tears away and turning to the boys

"Is Cash still alive?" I could feel the anger in my body bubble

"Yes" Mason squeaks looking away 

"Well then find him and bring him to me, I'm gonna finish what my father started" I growl getting into the back seat cradling Grace in my arms

Nash got in the driver seat and drove away. Everything was still processing in my head even if her blood was soaked into my clothes, I still had hope she'd wake up and start breathing again, but I knew deep deep down that she wasn't coming back

I watched out the window as we pulled up to the house. Nash shut the car off and we sat there for a second before he got out and opened my door, I got out with Grace in my arms. My making out way into the house through the dark night. Nash opened the door slowly and I could hear everyone stand up -Ashley, Mesa, and Marcy-

"Did you ge- no!"

"Is she- Gracie!"

"oh god!"

The girls gasped as I walked into the room, they all started crying and Ashley and Mesa clung to one another.

Third Person

 "Today we are gathered here to mourn the death of a beloved daughter, girlfriend, and friend. Gracie Martin passed away at the young age of seventeen. She was well known as a very troubled girl, but she was known to smile the biggest smile when around her friends. She will be missed" The sermon went on

Very little people were there standing around the coffin that kept Gracie Martin's lifeless body. The group standing around cry were Ashley, Mesa, Mason, Nash, Marcy, and Tyler. All the girls were crying into each other shoulders when the sermon stopped speaking

"Is there anything you would like to say?" he asked the group 

One by one they spoke about what little they truly only knew about Gracie, Tyler was the one to know more about Gracie then anyone else. Tyler choose to not speak only take a handful of dirt and throw it over the coffin as it was lowered to the ground, with that he walked away

"Tyler!" They called after him 

"Where are you going?" Nash called out grabbing his shoulder

"Somewhere" was all he said before shrugging Nash's hand off and getting into his car

They watched him drive off before turning back to the sermon, he finished speaking. Everyone soon walked away from where their friend laid, where a young girl that had hopes and dreams laid, where a girl that was taken to soon laid. 

"He's going to turn into one cold bastered" A man with blond hair and blue eyes spoke, he was in about his late forties

"That's what I need in a leader" a man with black hair and brown eyes that were colder then a storm

"Indeed"

The two men stood off far enough they wouldn't be seen by the small group mourning their fallen friend, but they were close enough to see who was standing there. The two men turned and walked away back to their truck before heading back to their gang house where they met up with the small group.
