Harry's POV:
Shit. I thought to myself as I heard yelling coming from the bus. I put down my tools and got up off the ground. I opened the door to the bus to see a sight I least expected. Ed was aiming a gun at Zayn, who was aiming a gun back at Ed. They were yelling at each other.
I didn't listen to what they were saying because I got distracted when I looked down and saw Addie curled up on the ground. Her hands were over her ears and she was sobbing. I looked closer to see that she had bruises, scrapes, and blood all over her. I felt anger boil up inside me.
"What the fuck are you two fucking assholes doing?" I screamed. They didn't take notice of me and so I ran up to Zayn.
"Mate! Listen to me! What are you doing?" I yelled in his ear.
"What I've needed to do for a long time now. This," he nodded his head towards Addie, "was just me taking out all my stress and anger over the last few months. It wasn't anything personal. But him, I wanted him gone a long while ago." He smirked.
"Oh shut up and out down the gun!" Ed yelled.
"Fuck you!" Zayn yelled, kicking Addie. "How about that, huh? Does it piss you the fuck off when I do this?" He screamed as he kicked her again.
"Zayn stop!" I yelled, but my voice was drowned out by the sound of a gun fire, and only a second later, Zayn's body dropped beside me. I looked down to see red gushing out of his forehead.
"No!" I shouted, kneeling down by Zayn's body.
Even more anger consumed me as I grabbed Zayn's gun and without thinking, turned and shot Ed right between the eyes. His body fell and made a thud as it hit the ground.
"Fucking son of a bitch!" I yelled. Then I noticed the boys standing in the doorway of the driver's area. Their eyes on the mess on the bus floor. I looked at Zayn and then remembered Addie. I crawled a few feet over to her and put my hand on her face. She jerked away and cried harder.
"Addie, it's okay." I said as I put an arm under her knees and another under her arms.
"Ed, I love you." She said, her voice raspy and barely audible over the commotion. I still heard her loud and clear. I laid her down on the bed and shook her shoulders.
"Addie!" I yelled. I felt her pulse. Still there. I let out a sigh of relief.
"Niall. Help her!" I demanded, looking over at the boys. They weren't in the doorway anymore. I looked around to find them knelt by Zayn, heads low. Ed was nowhere to be seen but the door was open, I'm guessing they threw him out.
"Niall! C'mon!" His head snapped up and his face filled with realization. He ran into the bunk area and ran out with his First Aid briefcase. He set it down and began tending to Addie's wounds. I turned to the boys.
"Why didn't you guys do something earlier? I asked, eyeing them.
"We heard the first gun shot and came out, but we got out here just in time to see you shoot Ed. What happened?" Liam asked.
"Well, I don't know exactly. But I heard yelling, so I came inside and Ed and Zayn had guns aimed at each other. They were yelling and Zayn had beaten Addie. He kicked her and Ed said if he did again, he would shoot. Well, Zayn did it again, I stopped to take a few breaths.
"He even said stuff to provoke him. I guess he didn't think he would do it. And well after Ed shot Zayn, I got angry and shot Ed." The death of the two me was starting to sink in and I felt on the verge of tears for my friend. I honestly couldn't care less about Ed. I hated him.
