Hanging On

The shot

Chapter 9

**POV- Josh**

"Josh, shoot!! Shoot her." Jessica yelled.

So I shot her. Me and Jessica ran out the house to the car. I kept looking back regretting what I did, she was a beautiful girl that never did anything wrong, what did I do?

**POV- Akera**

I heard Jessica yell "Josh, shoot!! Shoot her." that's when I blacked out.

**POV-Cassie**

Josh. Shot. Akera. Omg!!

My best friend could be dead. I hear Michael crying, and someone calling 911. I hate myself right know because I could have prevented it. Then I just lose it, I start screaming and yelling. I can't help but get mad right now.

** POV- Michael**

I'm crying my eyes out here. I didn't do anything to help her. The ambulance is on there way and she is losing a lot of blood.

The ambulance arrived and I rode with them. They put needles in her arm and she is so pale.

When we get to the hospital she is rushed to the ER. Everyone arrives and starts to panic. I walk back and forth waiting for the doctor to come.

"Hello im Doctor Andews. The girl has horrible injuries on her wrist from the rope and the gun shot almost went through her heart she is in ver critical condition, she might not be able to make it."

I dropped to my knees crying, I'm the one that made this happen. Someone starts to rub on my back but I doesn't help.

"Can we talk to her?"

"Yes, but she doesn't have long."

I was the first one to her room, it looked so depressing. Akera has numerous items in her arm and she hasn't woke up yet.

When everyone gets in the room nothing is said, we can only here skylers soft breathing.

Then all of a sudden she wake up. She greets us with" hello's' and "what you doing here?".

"Akera your dying". Justin said softly.

"I know, but I want to sing one last song".

Justin runs out the room to find a guitar, when he comes back she whispers to him what song to play.

The day we met

Frozen I held my breath

Right from the start

I knew that I found the one for my

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

But watching you stand alone?

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath

Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

"Michael, I never stopped loving you". She whispered before the line went dead.

"Noooo, Akera please come back to me". I said shaking her lifeless body. Everyone started crying and shaking. I was in shock. I felt like I should have died instead. A nurse came in and covered her body. She shooed us out the room. Her parents weren't even here yet. I didn't know what to, I just needed to leave this crazy hospital, when i get to the door the paparazzi was there.

"Michael, why is Akera in the hospital?"

"Is Akera ok?"

"Michael, did you put Akera in the hospital?"

I couldn't stand to hear her name. It makes me want to cry. I finally had enough.

"Akera is dead, ok!! She's dead."

I ran to my car crying, what have done.
