Falling for you

8

My dad.

I jumped back in fear. How could he be here?! I got up and ran into Austin's bedroom, and jumped on the bed.

Austin woke up abruptly. "Jeez, what's gotten into you?" He said sitting up. I don't answer and sit there in fear. "Eve?"

(Austin's POV)
I hear no answer. "Eve, your scaring me." I look over and see Eve curled up in a ball shaking. I quickly go to her side.

"Eve what's wrong?!" I quickly wrap my arms around her. "M-my d-dad" My heart immediately drops. "What, what about your dad?" Right after that I heard loud bangs on the door followed by "I KNOW YOUR IN THERE!! OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!"

'Shit shit shit! Think of something! You need to protect her!'

I quickly look around for my phone but can't find it anywhere. 'Shit! I left it in the living room!'

"Eve, I have to go get my phone to call the police. You stay right here, I'll be back" As soon as I went to leave she grabbed my wrist. I turn to look at her, fear in her eyes. "D-do you p-promise?" She said on the brink of tears.

"I promise"

I quickly sneak out of the bedroom to grab my phone. I slowly walk to the couch making no noise. I grab my phone and sprint back to my room. I quickly close the door and run to Eve's side.

"I got it!" I say happily trying to make Eve feel a little better, but something else was about to happen.

Right after I said that we heard a loud bang and what seems like walking around, I knew immediately that he had gotten in.

(Eve's POV)
I was terrified! He was here and now inside! Austin handed me his phone and told me to call 911. "I'm going out there."

"No! You can't!" I knew my dad and he wasn't going down without a fight. "I need to." He said looking me in my eyes. "B-but you can't! He'll hurt you! He could kill you!" I started to have a panic attack, it was getting harder to breathe. "Hey, Eve calm down. Breathe in, breathe out." After he calmed me down he hugged me tight.

"Y-you can't die, I can't live without you!" I started balling my eyes out. "Hey hey, It'll be okay." He said rubbing my back. He pulled away and grabbed my hands. "I promise I won't die and I'll be right by your side again."

I was still balling my eyes out and I had started squeezing his hands. "O-okay." He pulled me in for one last hug.

He then pulled away and stood up. He looked at me then at the door. "Stay safe and call the police." He said then turned and walked out of the door.

I immediately dialed 911.

"911 what's your emergency?"

"My dad is in the apartment and he's gunna hurt him! Please, we need help!" I sobbed into the phone.

"Ma'am please calm down, now who is your dad going to hurt?"

"M-my best friend"

"And where are you?"

"In his room with the door closed" I then hear banging coming from the living room. "Please hurry! There's bangs!" I sob.

"What kind of bangs?"

"Like someone falling or being thrown" It had gotten randomly silent but then out of nowhere there was a gun shot. "Th-there was a gunshot! Please send someone!" I started crying even harder if that was even possible.

"There is someone on there way, they should be there in about a minute."

"Please! You promised you wouldn't die! I need you!"

"Ma'am, could you tell me your name and age?"

"Y-yes, my n-name is Evelyn Pompey and I'm 21 years old."

"Ok Evelyn, help should be there any time now."

"O-okay, thank you."

"No problem, bye.

"Bye"

Just then I heard "Police! Put your hands behind your back and drop the weapon!"

(Austin's POV)
I was in so much pain, everything hurt. "Sir! What hurts!" I couldn't think of anything but Eve. "E-Eve" I said weakly. "What?" Said the people in front of me. I turn my head to look at the door to my room and try to stand up but they they hold me down. "Eve!" I shout. "Someone's in the room down there!" One of the paramedics shouts pointing to the room.

Another one gets up and runs to the room and opens the door, I can see Eve sobbing and look up at me. The last thing I remember before I blacked out was Eve running towards me but to paramedics holding her back.

(Eve's POV)
I was sitting curled into a ball sobbing into my knees when I heard someone coming in. "Ma'am are you ok?" I look up at the paramedic then immediately look past him at Austin.

He was sitting against the wall looking at me all covered in blood. I started crying even more and jumped off the bed running towards him.

"Austin!" To people grabbed me preventing me from getting to Austin. "Let go of me!" I screamed. "Please just let go!!"

"He's out, check his pulse."

"There's a pulse but very faint."

"Hook him up to vitals"

"His pulse is gone, start emergency CPR."

"No! Please don't go!" I yelled more. "I need you! You promised me you would be right by my side again!" I was crying so much my legs gave out and I fell to the ground.

"Don't go!!"
