Falling In Love With Charlie Lenehan ~ Bars and Melody

Chapter 15

*Brietta's P.O.V.*

Well its been a week but they finally let me go home. But honestly I dont see the point because they're just making me stay bed bound for the freaking weeks. I hated this. Charlie wheeled me to the bottom of the stairs then picked me up and took me to my room. When we got to my room Charlie very slowly put me on my bed. Damn I love this kid.

"Do you need anything Bri?"

"Just come lay by me and I'll be happy."

"Ok." I scooted over a bit and Charlie layed down next to me and started playing with my hair. I ended up going asleep on him.

***

I woke with a start because I'd heard a gun shot and it came from inside my house. Charlie wasn't by me so I started panicking.

"CHARLIE! CHARLIE WHERE ARE YOU!" Charlie then came running into my room.

"Brietta you gotta get up. You gotta hide. NOW!" Charlie pulled me up and walked me over to my closet and pushed me into it then sat down next to me and closed the doors.

"Charlie where's my mom?" I whispered.

"It's alright she ran out the door when the guy wasn't looking."

"Thank God."

"Yeah now we Have. To. Stay. Quiet. And phase tell me you grabbed your phone."

"No I left it on the bed stand. Where's your phone?"

"The guy smashed it before I could get to it."

"Damn. Now what are we gonna do?"

"We gotta get that phone."

"Alright." I very slowly opened the closet doors and started crawling across the floor towards my phone. I was almost to it when the floor boards crashed underneath me. I froze right in my tracks. The man must've heard the freaking because he came running up the stairs yelling, "I've got you now!"

I quickly went back to the closet forgetting the phone. I was almost there too.

"Chair what are we gonna do?" I whispered.

"Be silent and hope and pray the he didn't find us."

"Yeah ok."

We sat there for what seemed like a life time. The guy was very slowly making his way down the hall towards my room. And before we knew it he was opening my door. He went straight for the closet. Luckily me and Charlie had his ourselves under my clothes very well so the man started looking else where. He tor my room apart and was just about to leave when Charlie accidentally hit my bad side. I yelped in pain and the man ran over to the closet and pulled the clothes off of me and Charlie. He picked me up by my hair and three me across the room. He was coming straight for me when Charlie tackled him.

BANG

"No!" I scream.

Everything was in show motion now. Charlie had a shocked look on his face and he seemed to drift down to the floor. I couldn't think. I ran straight to Charlie and started trying to stop the bleeding. God he was bleeding so much. Where his stomach was supposed to be seemed to just be an endless pool of blood. The man was frozen in place with shear shock on his face then we heard the sirens. The man quickly unfroze. He bolted down the stairs but before he could get out the door the police barged in. I couldn't see what was happening but I hoped they caught him.

"HELP! HELP PLEASE! UP HERE! HURRY! PLEASE HELP!" I screamed. The police very quickly ran up the stairs and into my room. One of the officers quickly knelt by Charlie and began pressing down on the gun spot wound.

"Hey we need a bus down her NOW!" The officer yelled into his little walkie talkie.

"It's on its way now."

"Make it snappy we got a gun spot wound and it doesn't look good." Great he just had to say that. I started breathing really quickly, I couldn't catch my breath. I started getting light headed. I quickly sat on my bed and tried to calm down knowing that if I didn't I would hyperventilate and pass out.

I quickly heard the waffling sirens of the ambulance and was relieved, but only for a second. I heard the sirens then I heard the officer say:

"Stay with me kid, come on, open those eyes." I looked at Charlie and started crying. I fell to the floor beside him and grabbed his hand.
