31. Panic

Danny held my hand tightly as we ran far into the dark,  Stumbling over the uneven grass and rocks.  We could hear the commotion of the police officers behind us but couldn't make out what they were saying. 

My brain was so fogged with panic I wasn't even thinking about where Danny was taking me I just ran with him.

The night acted like a barrier blocking the view of the police as we ran.

That's when I felt my stomach tighten and something coming up my throat.  I let go of Danny's hand and stopped running.

"Y/n-" Is all I heard him say before I threw up on the grass at my feet. 

"I'm sorry" I said as I started sobbing, "I'm so scared"

"It's ok Y/n, but we gotta go-" Danny was cut off by the sound of the police's voices getting louder

We turned around to see a group of 3 cops shining their bright flashlights into the dark towards us,  Right at us,  breaking the barrier. 

We heard them call out to each other and then start running in our direction, guns draw.

"Y/N RUN!" Danny yelled starting to run in the opposite direction of the cops. 

I followed immediately the adrenaline in my veins making unable to feel the sheer amount of panic I felt just seconds ago.

We ran for what felt like forever with the cops not far behind us.

Running through the dark we started to see what could be a small area of trees,  A small forest just ahead. 

We were beginning to grow tired and the cops were gaining on us yelling things like "stop running", "put ur hands up".  But we just kept running and running desperate to make it to the dark trees ahead of us.

Once we got there, there's no way they could catch us.

I was slowing down quite a bit more than Danny but before I could stop running he turned around grabbing my hand. 

"Y/N WE ARE SO CLOSE WE NEED TO GET TO THE TREES!"

Danny quickly glimpsed trying to get a idea of how much time we had but his face was immediately washed over with panic.

"Y/N-" I heard Danny shout before their was a loud bang.

The bang was so loud my ears were ringing and I couldn't hear.

That's when I noticed I was no longer on my feet,  I had collapsed onto my stomach.

everything was blurry with tears but I didn't even know I was crying.

I tried getting up but one of my legs wouldn't move.  all I remember feeling was fear,  my heart beating out of my chest, I was terrified.

Confused I looked up at Danny and he was trying to pull me up off the ground.  I could hear him saying something but it was muffled, I couldn't make out what he was saying.   I looked around frantically trying to find out what was going on. 

I could now see because of the police flashlights breaming onto us,  They weren't very close but close enough.

I looked down trying to figure out why I couldn't move my leg.  The dark red soaking through my pants and onto the grass below me was enough to snap me back into reality.

A sharp pain erupted in the back of my thigh and I felt the warm blood poring down the back of my leg. 

That bang was a gunshot and it had hit me in the back of my thigh.

I could now hear what Danny what saying to me,
"Y/N PLEASE HELP ME GET YOU UP"
he basically screamed, begging me to get up.

I was just snapping out of the daze my body had put me into to shield me from the pain of my injury and now I could hear and feel everything.

With my arms I pulled myself off the ground as Danny helped me and stood on my good leg.  

The pain was almost unbearable,  I felt weak. 

Danny quickly then picked me up onto his back and ran.

He ran like his life depended on it, 
and honestly it did.

Everything was then a blur,  Running through the trees,  loosing the cops,  loosing blood.

I was in and out of consciousness trying to hold onto it but failing.

one thing I did remember tho,  Danny repeating three words over and over again,
"Please be ok."
