Secret 2 Revealed

"Careful with his body. He has already lost too much blood," I warned as the guys jumped out of the car.

"We need to go to the hospital," John said. I glared at him in his stupidity.

"Just get him inside," I ordered. I hurried to the front door and swung it wide. The boys rushed in and set Zach on a table. Annoyingly they crowded around restricting my view.

"Guys you need to move,"I said. They turned and glared at me.

"You're just a girl we kidnapped so shut up. Zach is like a brother to us. We've known him forever and now he's gonna die," Josh sobbed. That felt like a slap to the face. Just a girl they kidnapped. I could have turned them in, should have. If they really didn't care about me then I would just save Zach's life and leave. Tears began streaming down my face.

" You're telling ME to shut up. I saved you guys from going to jail. I saved you from getting shot AND if it weren't for me Zach would have been shot in the head. The HEAD. He would already be dead and you have the nerve to talk to me like that ! I HATE you. You're like every other person I know. NOW MOVE OUT OF THE WAY," I shouted raising my arms towards them at the last part. It was time to reveal my secret. Their eyes widened in terror as fire spread over my whole body. It shot from my hands and enveloped them. With a swing of my arms they flew against the walls. I lowered my arms and slowly walked forward to the pale,limp form. Taking a deep breath I closed my eyes and summoned the bullet out of Zach's stomach. It covered my hand in blood as it appeared seemingly out of thin air. I dropped the bullet to the ground and imagined Zach's wound healing. I could feel it through my whole body as he healed and the blood reentered his body. He suddenly sat up and coughed.

"What happened? I thought I got shot," Zach sputtered staring wide eyed at his unharmed stomach.

"Why are you asking me? I'm just a girl you kidnapped," I choked running from the room.

"LIZ, come back," Josh yelled after me.

"What did you do to her?" Zach asked. I slammed the front door and ran down the driveway sinking to the ground before I reached the street. A woman and her small child screamed as a nearby tree burst into flames. The last time I lost control on my magic like this was when my cousin died. I felt so close to the gang even I'd only been with them for a few days. They were the only friends I had that knew my secret. Well, I thought I was their friend. Guess I should have known better. There was the loud sound of a firetruck's siren as the tree fell to the ground. Someone grasped my shoulders and pulled me up. I couldn't register anything that was happening. All I could feel was pain, heartbreak. The person picked me up bridal style and carried me inside.They set me down in the living room and pulled me into a tight hug. They started to whisper in my ear and I struggled to catch what they were saying.

"I didn't mean it...I was scared...please believe me...please,please don't hate me. I don't think I could take it, please..."they whispered. I pulled back to see a blurry Josh.

"You should know Josh that I'm a liar. I don't hate you... I-I...love you,"
