Megan's Pov:
(30 minutes later)
"Megan...Megazord...MG." Deon pokes me in my face as he tries to get my attention as we sit in the car now that the coast is clear.
"Megan, girl, it wasn't on purpose." He pulls my arms to uncross them. I slap his hands off me and quickly wipe the tears that built up. I'm so shaken up from what happened.
(Rewind: The running scene)
"Deon!" I yell as he falls to the ground with a loud thud. It made my blood run cold, and my breath to stop.
"Coiya!' I yell to get her to stop runnin so she can help me get him but she couldn't hear me. She continued runnin ahead.
"Deo-" I shake him and he groans out.
"Damn that hurt." He suddenly lifts himself off the ground. People run around us, and we get up from the ground.
"OH SHIT!" Deon yells as the cops get closer to us, and the dogs aren't on leashes. Grabbing me in from out of my shocked and confused haze, he runs us to the trees where everyone else was making their escape.
As he in front of me I check his back for any hole or blood stain. Nothin, there's nothin on him. So how did he-
"MG!" Coiya yells for me. All I can do is just stare at her. I'm confused, and lost. My cousin fell so hard to the ground after a gun was shot but he okay? Is it the adrenaline rush where he can't feel the pain? But he did say it hurt when he got up. Don't tell me this nigga tri-
"What happened to you?!" I shout at Deon as soon as we meet up with everyone else. The cops retreat after some people were caught. Though some still lurk in the trees, but too far to find us.
"Girl, whatchu you yellin at me like that for? Calm down." I check the front of his body, his back and sides to his neck and his head. There isn't a single drop of blood anywhere, nor a scratch excluding those on his hands from when he fell.
"Calm down? Deon, there was a gun shot and you just dropped." I
"Yeah, I tried to duck but tripped in the process." He says like it's nothin. This ain't nothin to pretend is nothin... I THOUGHT YOU DIED.
"Are you okay?" Coiya ask him and check him for injuries too. He smiles and even dances to show he alright. He seems so unbothered while I'm shaking.
"How can you act like nothin just happened?" I ask him feelin tears build up, but I refuse to let them fall. It felt like I saw him die. The sound of the fall, the way his body laid limp on the ground, and the echoing of the gun in the empty field replays in my head.
"Megan, you're overreactin." He tells me simply waving me off.
"Overreacting? You fell when the shot went off and I thought you were shot and-and I thought you died when you laid on the ground like that. I thought I had just lost you." I wipe my eyes before my tears could fall.
"Oh, I ain't thought bout all dat." I know now he realizes what I'm talkin about.
"But I'm alive, and you? You not actin like yo-self." He jokes but I dont find a damn thing funny. So, I swallow that big ball in my throat and turn away from him to find my boyfriend who has yet to be here.
"Ah, don't be like that. Since when you all sentimental?" He asks me like it was gonna make me feel better.
"Just shut up." I tell him, over this whole thing, and walk away. Maybe I am overreactin but I can't help that I thought my cousin died in front of me. I thought I lost someone who's always been there for me.
"Megan, get back over here." Coiya tells me.
"Where Shawn?"
"He went to get the car and gave otha folks a ride so they can get they cars too." I pout wipin my eyes again. I guess that bothered me more than I thought. Coiya rubs my shoulder to comfort me, and I accept what she offers.
