White Mustang - Rafe Cameron

The Bell Tower

"I'm so sorry" Tears started streaming down my face

Peterkin started to cough blood. I didn't know what to do.

Then I saw someone's  hands trying to put more pressure on top of mine "Hey, hey, hold still. It's okay" 

I lifted my face to John B. He grabbed the bandana he wore around his neck and gave it to me. 

I pushed it under her t-shirt and just watched it getting soaked in blood.

"Ca- call for help" Peterkin wheezed looking at us

John B took her radio and before he could do anything, Ward and Rafe shouted at him

"Hey!"

"Wait!"

I turned my face behind me, still holding the bandana into Peterkin's body, but I still managed to look at Rafe coming towards us, now pointing at John B.

"Rafe, no. Rafe!" I yelled at him

"Don't try it, asshole" He said between his teeth

"Rafe" I said firmly

"John B, give me the radio" Ward came up to us, holding his hand to John B

"No"

"Give me the damn radio" He repeated as he knelt and took it by himself from John B's hands

"Rafe, I've got it. Calm down" 

Rafe took a step back at his dad's words 

"Run" Peterkin managed to say, looking at John B

"I'm not leaving you"

"He can't do anything. I've got you" Ward kept trying to calm his son down "You're okay"

Rafe's eyes were lost, it was like he wasn't there at all. I had never seen him like that.

"Run" she repeated

"John B" I looked at him with pleading eyes 

"I'm sorry" he said with a broken voice before he stood up and started backing away 

"Where are you goin? huh?" Rafe started to get more alterated "Run!" Sarah said to him before he started running towards the weeds surrounding the runway

Rafe tried to go behind him but Sarah got into his way making him go even crazier and starting to shoot a couple of times.

"Sorry, I'm so sorry" I said between sobs

"It's not your fault, sweetie" Peterkin said with a grunt

The blood wasn't stopping

Sarah came to help me as Ward was struggling with Rafe.

"Keep pressure in here" I reached for Sarah's hands with one of mine

As I saw she got it, I stood up and went straight to Rafe taking him by the neck of his shirt.

I don't know were I got the strength, but I managed to shove him, making Ward step back surprised.

Rafe's eyes went wide open going out of his trance"Dad, I was trying to-"

"Shut up" He said going back to the sheriff

"Baby" he called for me but I followed Ward

"Sarah"

"What!? No!" She spat as I knelt back to help her. As I put even more pressure on her, I took my other hand to the side of her neck, her pulse was barely there

"I need you girls to get up" Ward said

"She is dying!" I said 

"What is wrong with you?" Sarah asked sobbing
