Last Time Running

I never thought running would feel so slow.
I never thought the distance would feel so much.
Until I realise it was for my best friends life, and now it feels like time has stopped.

Like everything is too far and everything's going so slow.
Like we're never going to get there on time.

An hour ago I was living on the state of oblivion thinking we could all get out of this together alive and healthy.

I thought I could finally do what I was made to do and save my friends.
Yet nothing like that feels even close in reach.
Because the second I hear my radio go off, I feel more worse than I did a second ago.

"Blake! Blake it's Avery! We're caught, in the cross fire!"

I stop breathing. My heart stops.
But my feet are still active. I still am sprinting trying to avoid gunfire surrounding us.
"Blake I don't think we're gonna make it out-"

"Where are you!"
My hand lifts my radio to my lips as I feel the air once enter my lungs the moment my lips start moving.
But the moment I'm ready to take another step I feel hands grasp me back.

"Bird watch out!"
Instantly I'm pulled against a wall realising there were to guns either side of me waiting to go off and even I was ready to be part of this cross fire.

"You trying to get yourself killed?! Are you looking at where you're running?" Minho instantly yells as he looks over the wall seeing how unsafe it was to run out.

"Avery! They're trapped! Gally they're-"
"I know, I heard."
Gally stops my yelling as I worry realising I've not got a response of off them.

My mind is going through twenty different scenarios right now.
We're about to run into fire! My sister is stuck somewhere! And we need to get this serum for Newt!

"We're a block away from the apartment, but it's not possible to get out-"
"Hey not possible is not a word in our blood. I'm coming-"

"No your not! Bird I'm not letting you go."
Gally drops everything to focus his attention on me not even looking at whether it was safe or not to cross through.

"Yes, you are. Because you know damn well I'm not leaving anyone behind."
I don't even decide to fight on this because my decision was already made before having to think.

"I'm not going to let you go get killed!"
"I need to save her!"
It's literally a screaming match of our own.
In the middle of about fifty screaming matches out there.

"And I need to keep you safe!" He yells louder than me and even with one faulty lung he still manages to keep up.

But nothing in me was going to stop me from saving my sister and my two friends.
"Get the serum, and go to Newt. I'll be fine."
I lift my shirt flashing the gun I had tucked away and I travel my eyes to Minho.

Hoping he got my hint to pull Gally back if he decides to run after me.
And Minho raises his brow as he manages to telepathically communicate with me.

"Blake I'm not letting you go-"
"Hey," I soften my tone as my hands pulllbhis face to let him only focus on my eyes. "I love you, okay? Only yours."

I knew whatever I said wasn't going to sway him in my favour. Which is why I was thankful Minho was there.
Because then I get to do this.

I sprint so fast out of there.
And I hear him call my name as he's restrained.
I hear him scream as I run straight through flames and it made my heart so heavy not to respond.

I look past for a split second and see Minho trying to tug him in the opposite direction and his eyes are finally distracted when he realises Newt is his key focus.
