First Love | xBayani

•12• My Bayani

Arabella's POV
"What do you want?" I growled through gritted teeth.

"Let me tell you something, Bella." Ellie walks closer to me. "You don't even know I'm your sister." She's calmly states.

"I don't have a sister, I'm an only child." I sneered.

"Oh yes you do indeed. Our mother just never told you about me." she chuckled. "She gave me up for adoption before you were born because I was a mistake." She glared at me."But you weren't." She spat lifting the gun and holding it under my neck.

"Ellie please put the gun down." Jordan begged. At this point I was on the verge of tears. I was beyond terrified. This whole week I was always on the verge of tears. Even last week.

Ellie ignored Jordan and kept talking to me."I was always jealous of you. Being able to live with your biological parents." She says still glaring at me.

"Yeah, well your lucky you didn't live with my father-" I got cut off.

"Our father!" She raises her voice.

"He always abused mom and I. He was always drunk, going out to parties and clubs and that's what caused this-" I rolled up my sleeve revealing my fresh cuts from a few days ago. I hear Jordan, Claire and Bryce gasp. "Do you really want my life now?" I scolded.

"Don't question it." She hissed place the gun deeper under my neck.

"You don't have to do this Ellie!" Seth cried.

"Shut up Seth!" She roared at him and he flinched back.

"What proof do you even have of me being your sister?" I ask her wanting answers. She pulls out a birth certificate from her pocket showing signatures from my parents. Than she pulls out adoption papers showing signatures from my parents again. I clasp a hand over my mouth. It's true, she is my sister.

"What happened to our friendship? Was it fake the whole time?" Claire whined.

"It was real at one point, but when she came along," Ellie stared at me than continued "she ruined it."

"You know what she didn't ruin anything, it was you who ruined it yourself!" Bryce yelled at Ellie.

"Don't speak!" She hissed pointing the gun at Bryce.

"How're you even in the same grade as me if you're older than me?" I asked.

"I failed grade 8 now don't ask questions like that." Ellie whispered than put an angry face back on. "Let's play a game. You all have to shut up and not move a muscle or else you get shot! Simple as that." She giggles specifically looking at me.

She walks over to Jordan and stares at him intently before kissing him. Jordan tries to pull away looking very uncomfortable but her hands are on the back of his head and she won't let go. Is she trying to get me shot? Right now I don't care if I move a muscle or speak, what she is doing is wrong!

I run towards Jordan while shouting "Let go of him you motherfu-" I get cut off.

"Oops looks like you moved a muscle and spoke!" She points the gun at me and pulls the trigger but before it hits me Jordan yells

"BELLA NO!" And pushes me out of the way making the bullet plunge into his shoulder and he falls to the ground hard.

"JORDAN!" I shout kneeling down next to him while tears are flooding out of my eyes. I hear sirens close by. I take my sweater off not caring that my cuts are being revealed and wrap it around Jordan's bleeding shoulder.

He keeps bellowing in pain as I try to calm him down but it doesn't work cause I keep crying. "It's okay Jordan, everything's going to be fine! Just think about how brave you are for taking a freakin bullet for me. You're my hero Jordan! You're my Bayani!"

"No! No! Let me go!" Ellie try's pushing past the cops but they're to strong for her. I didn't even notice the cops were here, I was so focused on Jordan. The paramedics came down with a stretcher and placed Jordan on it, taking him away. I stood up wanting to follow them but they were moving to fast I couldn't catch up with them. Instead, I collapse on the ground thinking about everything that just happened. I had so many tears to the point where I just couldn't cry anymore. I just sat on the ground with my knees pulled up to my chest not thinking about anything besides the fact that Jordan took a bullet for me.

"You alright? I shouldn't even be asking that I know you're not okay." Seth sat down beside me and started hugging me.

"I'm not okay, I'm amazed." I whispered.

"What do you mean?" He questions looking at me.

"Jordan took a bullet for me. He's my Bayani!" I said looking at him.
