My Poison ✔️

~Seventeen~

Bennett was laid in the car across Logan's, Max's, and my lap. Nick sat across from us fiddling with the first aid kit.

I had Bennett's head in my lap and Logan had his torso where the bullet hole was. Max had his feet in his lap.

"Guys what happened?" I repeated my question.

The car jolted as we started moving quickly. I looked up to the front and saw we were going nearly 80 miles per hour.

"We almost had him out but Ethan shot him and missed all vital organs." Nick finally explained putting on gloves.

"It's going to be ok." I played with Bennett's hair while he smiled up at me. He looked like he was saving his energy because he was loosing a lot of blood.

"Logan can you give him the numbing solution?" Nick asked holding out a syringe.

"Yeah of course." Logan took the syringe and pulled Bennett's skin tight. He pushed the needle into Bennett's side and handed it back to Nick.

"What can we do to help?" Max asked.

"Shut up and make sure he doesn't move." Nick answered focusing on applying pressure.

I smiled down at Bennett. He was so strong for going through all of this and still being sane. I still can't help but feel responsible for everything that has happened.

If he never met me, he would still have his gang and he would be living happily.

"Bailey?" His weak voice brought me back.

"No don't talk Bennett. Save your energy." I smiled at him and held his hand in mine.

"Hey where are Lexi and Taylor?" Max asked.

"In the car behind us. They are both safe and unharmed don't worry. You'll get your girlfriend back." Nick still didn't look up as he began to use tools to fish out the bullet.

I couldn't watch. The way the blood poured and his flesh squished together made me want to throw up. I kept my eyes lock on Bennett's and stared into his beautiful brown orbs.

His eyes were getting droopy because he kept loosing blood.

"Guys you need to stop the bleeding he's going to loose consciousness!" I rushed them.

"I know Bailey. We are about to sew him up. I almost have the bullet out." Nick didn't lift his head as he focused on Bennett's wound.

"Is he going to be ok?" I asked with worry in my voice.

"It's Bennett. You really think he's going to let a bullet in the gut kill him?" Logan laughed to lighten the mood.

It wasn't a clear yes or no though. Yeah, it was funny but I didn't have the guarantee he would be ok.

I didn't like that.

Bennett (30 minutes ago):

Braunson took Bailey out of the room and multiple men grabbed me and Taylor. They dragged us into a different room where Max and Lexi were hugging.

It was clear Lexi was crying and Max was comforting her. They saw us and ran over.

"What happened man? We heard a bunch of loud noises." Max helped me up.

"Help is here." I smiled.

"Wait. Where's Bailey?" Lexi asked me.

"She's with someone who's been on our side the whole time." I vaguely explained. If there was a microphone in here picking up what we were saying I couldn't sell Braunson out.
