I Just Want To Call You Mine (A Cashton/Muke 5SOS Fanfic)

Chapter Twenty-Two

Hi my fantastic and beautiful Sophanators!

This chapter took a few months, because of college classes, and because it was hard to plan it out as this story is coming to an end. This is the second to last chapter. The last chapter will be the epilogue, which I will post in a few weeks. It's been one hell of a rollercoaster with this story, and I'm so honored and so happy that you have all stuck with me and continued to love and support this story!

I made this chapter super long, with tons of plot twists and feels! I hope you all enjoy it! I'm so pleased with how this chapter turned out, and I'm hoping you all adore it as much as I do!

Dedication and shoutout for this chapter go to JuuLuquin because your comment was just beautiful and your love for this story and for my writing just utterly made my day! Your comment made me smile so much, so thank you for being so sweet and for making my day with your love for this story and for me! Shoutout to literally EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY FANS for all the comments, literally every single comment I receive brightens my day and makes me so happy! So again, thank you to everyone for commenting and making me feel like I'm a good writer!

Again, I hope you all love this chapter, and have enjoyed the story! With it coming to an end, and with only one more chapter to go, I'm truly blessed to have had such an incredible fanbase and loyal readers! All the reads, votes, and comments have meant more to me than I can ever say! You are all beautiful, thank you for making me feel like a real author, and for giving me the courage to be proud of my writing skills! With all that sappy stuff said, thank you for reading! Don't forget to comment, vote, fan, and message me! :) Goal for this chapter is 750 reads and 120 votes.

Chapter Twenty-Two

BANG.

It felt like the events that took place after that happened in slow motion. You know when they say your life flashes before your eyes right before you die? They're lying. Everything runs in slow motion. As if you're watching each and every snap shot form together into a panel that is life.

I registered an officer crouching and unlocking the safety on his gun. The subtle click as the safety unlatched almost sounded like a canon going off in my head. I saw him aiming at us. At Maddie.

The sound of the trigger being pulled was like a clap of thunder. I watched in awe stricken horror as the bullet left the chamber of the gun and traveled towards us. Each time I blinked it felt like it moved another millimeter closer.

I felt my breathing slow down in fear, catching in my throat and getting stuck there. From my angle on the ground, I couldn't tell if it would reach it's mark and hit Maddie, or if it would miss and hit me.

The thought of being shot and never getting to see Calum again wrenched my heart into pieces. I dared to take my eyes off of the bullet as it traveled through the air, and I looked over at Michael.
