Broken promises ~ JJ Maybank ~ Sequel to Promises

Chapter thirteen ~ Blood on his hands

With just me, Jj, Sarah and John b left we carried on drinking and talking between us.

That was until John b heard something.

Jb: wait wait wait-

Jj: what

Jb: what was that?

Jj: your a chicken

Jb: I heard a car door.

Jj starts clicking like a chicken but me and Sarah look around the trees.

Jb: hide

Jj began to realise this was serious and we all hid. Jj and me climbed up into a tree and Sarah and John b were in another.

We then see Rafe Cameron walk around right bellow us.

I hear him whisper.

R: where the hell are you?

Minutes later Barry comes out of the chateau and a bang comes from the doors slamming.

R: anything?

B: just shit in there bro

R: no nothing?

B: no nothing Rafe.

R: they were obviously just here based off the smoke.

B: yeah yeah great observation Boy Scout.

R: there not far, you know?

B: smoking the bear look at you bro!

R: they gotta be around here somewhere.

B: P4L.

R: well shit

B: your sisters a pogue for life huh Rafe? Now who would've thought?

Rafes anger took over him.

R: shit!!

He shouted.

I grip onto JJ's shirt even more then I already was.

Jj: it's okay, I got you

Jj whispers to me.

Rafe pulls out his gun and shoots the memorial on the tree, then Barry grabs races arm sending more gunshots right at us in the tree. Jj pulled me back into him to avoid them. I've never been so scared. I whimpered as I laid my head back against his chest. He kissed the top of it gently.

B: hey woah! Chill chill! Chill out your gonna get our asses busted! Let's bounce, let's bounce. Let's go!

They walked back to there car and we waited till they drove away. John b and Sarah climbed down and then me and Jj did.

Jj: what the fuck just happened?

They continued working out what the hell happened just five minutes before. But something was wrong. I got down and pulled my shirt down since it was tucked in. I was confused because I knew something was different. After fixing my shirt I felt something on my hand.

I looked at my hand and saw the red thick liquid I didn't want to see.

Blood.

My Blood.

My eyes slowly trailed down the my waist, there it was the same red liquid spilling all over my shorts and shirt. I started squinting as I began to felt weak.

K: JJ.

I tried to speak but nothing came out.

K: I've been shot

God why can't anyone hear me.

K: Jj help me.

My voice breaks. As John b checks on Sarah, Jj looks over my way. I look him directly in the eyes.

K: help me.

He looks confused so comes closer.

Jj: what's up?

K: I've been s-shot.

He was still confused but after a second clicks on to what I said just in time to catch me as I come falling to the ground.

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

*Jjs pov*

Then Keira fell into my arms.

Jj: guys help, Keiras been shot!

John and Sarah rushed over to her aid.

S: get her inside.

I pick her limp body up and carry her inside the chateau. I lay her down in the pull out sofa and John b rummages around the house for things to help her.

Sarah comes back over with tweezers, tissue, a bandage, and an old shirt.

S: here press the shirt over the gun shot wound to make sure she doesn't bleed out.

Jj: I-I can't

As I deal out Sarah pushes me back and helps Keira.

How could such a great night turn into this?
I watch Sarah and John b help Keira but all I could focus on was her blood all over my hands. I should have protected her.

S: I got the bullet out

Jb: here put bandages over it.

S: we can't take her to a hospital we gotta work this out on our own.

*An hour later*

Jj still sitting in the corner of the living room as Sarah finished helping Keira.

S: please wake up, Keira you have to wake up

Jb: oh god

John b hugged Sarah and Jj finally stood up, his bones hurt from being in one fixed position for so long but He didn't care.

Jj: please don't do this. Don't do this to me please. You can't-you can't leave me.

He stared at the motionless petite body laying on the bed. Lifeless.

Jj: I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for hurting you, I never meant to break you again. I know I'm a bad person and I know that I have nothing to give to you but please- Keira. Your everything to me.

Water falls from his eyes.

Jj: ...I love you.
There I said it. And I know we were gonna say it when we're happy and it's just me and you but I can't wait any longer, and I don't know if they'll ever be that time anymore. So I'm saying it now, I love you. I love you Keira Thornton. You are not just my bestfriend but your the love of my life. So don't go, don't leave me please. Cause I know I broke that promise but you, Keira you don't break promises.

As tears poured out of his eyes, his fingers were connected to Keira's. He pulled his hand away slowly, knowing there's no more hope left.

Until, Keira lifted her hand, slightly. Grabbing JJ's so he doesn't leave.

K: you prom- you promised you wouldnt leave.

Her eyes fluttered open.

A smile appeared on her face as JJ burst into tears, holding her weak body close to his.

Jj: your alive, your alive!
