Isabella's POV

Shit...
"We kill 'em. They know to much." Guy 2 said.
"But they didn't see our faces!! C'mon man! We can't kill kids!!!" Guy 1 yelled.
Guy 2 eyeing me up. I feel so scared. That I don't even know what to do. My breathing gets shacky.
"Maybe we should keep the girl." Guy 2 smirks.
Guy 1 eyes go wide. Mingus steps in front of me. But then I realize. I can die tonight. Just by one bullet. Then I'm finally free. I smiled little. This is my chance.
"Your gonna have to kill me first." Mingus says.
Damn it Mingus! Why can't you run just like a pussy? Grr. Guy 2 smirks.
"Alright then."
He aims his gun at Mingus. My eyes go wide. No no!!! He shoots. Before it hit Mingus. I pushed him out of the way. It hit me. The two guys ran. Mingus fell to the ground. Next to me. I was smiling.
"Bella!!! No!!! I'm calling 911." He cries.
He grabs his phone.
"No...i want to die. I can't be here anymore." I said.
"No! I can't lose you. I can't!! Please don't! Keep breathing." He says.
Well its time to tell him. About the real me.

Mingus POV

I called 911. They said there on there way. I'm crying my eyes out. How could Bella want this? Why would she want this? No I can't let her die. It'll kill me and dad. Bella seems so calm and relax. Like this doesn't even matter.

Bella telling me what happen to her. Before we meet. I'm so socked. It makes me cry harder. Why didn't she tell us?
"Bella..."
She shacks her head.
"Stop. I love you big brotha. But maybe its my time." She says.
"No!! Its not your time!! Your only 13!!!" I cry.
"Don't tell dad. What I told you." She smiles.
Why the hell is she smiling? She starts closing her eyes. Slowly. I scream. I scream her name. Like "noo!!!" "C'mon Bella! Keep breathin'!" "I can't lose you."

Finally we're at the hospital. I'm shacking. Is how bad I'm scared that she dead. The doctors said she might not live. That made me cry. Well I'm sobbing.

Norman's POV

"But yes...Isabella is a very bright girl. She could come home but we need to send one of the nurse with her. Just for in case. She starts cutting again." Kelly said.
"That's great!! Can you come with her? You two seem close." I smiled.
Kelly is a wonderful woman. Smart, funny, kind, not crazy, beautiful. She got it all. I got to say I got a crush on Bella's nurse. But I can't like her. I rather have my daughter better then having a girlfriend. My kids mean more to me.
"Yes I could come. What Miles said that I'm the only nurse she likes. But I know she not very open. I'm happy we made a bond."
Before I could say something my phone rang. Its the hospital? What's wrong?
"Hello?" I ask.
"Hi, is this Mr. Reedus. Isabella's father?" Someone ask.
"Yes, who is this?" I ask.
"Oh I'm Kathy Wilson. I'm a nurse at Salt Lake City hospital. I'm sorry to say this but your daughter been shoot."
My mouth dropped and went dry. I felt tears rolling down my face. Kelly looked worried. I was brought out of my thoughts when someone said something.
"Sir?" The nurse/ Kathy ask.
"I'll be there very soon. Is she OK?" I ask.
"We can tall when you get here. Oh your son also here. He wants t see you. We can talk about what happen when you get here Mr. Reedus."
"Okay."
I hung up. I'm such a fucked up father. Why does everything bad happens to me? What the hell did I do?
"Norman, what happen?" Kelly ask.
"Isabella ...been shot." I said.
"Oh my god! Norman let's go!!!" She says.
I nod. We get in my car and drive fast to the hospital. As I'm driving, I'm crying. How could this happen? They just went to a fuckin' movie theater!!
"Norman, don't cry. Everything gonna to be OK." She says.
"And what happens if its not?!" I ask.
She doesn't say anything.

At the hospital.

Me and Kelly get to the hospital. We get to a waiting room. I see Mingus crying his eyes out. I run to him and hug him. Mingus looks up at me.
"Dad...they...they said that she......might not live." Mingus says.
My heart drops. I cry.
"Mr. Reedus?" Someone ask.
I looked up to see a woman. It's a nurse. I can tell my eyes are red, my noise is dripping.
"I'm Kathy Wilson. We talked on the phone. Please sit." She says.
I nod then we sit down. I sighed. Then Kathy sighs. She has a sad look on her face. I can just tell this isn't good.
"As we all know that Isabella has been shot. She in surgery now. But what they told me that she might not make it." Kathy sighs.
My heart dropes even more.
"What the presented?" Kelly ask.
"35℅ that she'll live. 65℅ that...she wont make it. The shot....didn't go clean. We're very surprised that she didn't die yet." Kathy says.
Me and Mingus start crying harder. I look at Kelly. She looks like she wants to fall to the floor and cry. I feel like screaming at the world.
"I'm very sorry." Kathy says.
No she not. She just trying to make us feel better but its not working. She walks away. I can't believe this is happening.


A few hours later.

It's 6 in the morning. Bella still.in surgery. There's been no word about her. I think that means she still alive? I hope. Mingus is talking to someone. But who? It doesn't matter.

Mingus POV

My dad is circling around tbw room, bitting his thum nail. There's no word about Bella yet. I'm so worried.

I'm talking to Faith. When I told her what happen to Bella. She staring sobbing.
"Mingus! How could this happen!?" Faith ask.
"We were at the movies and we left after that. Then these two guys got done killing someone else. Then they saw us." I explain. "I'm getting a plan ticket right now. Are you still in Salt Lake City?"
"Yes. But Faith maybe this isn't a good idea if you come."
"She my best friend. I'm coming. Whether you like it or not."
"Your so stubborn."
"Ming stop. This isn't the time. Did you even tell Bella?"
I sighed.
"No, I was going to but..."
She sighs.
"Fine I'll just tell her. But later. I'm on my way now."
"Wait who's driving you, picking you up?"
"I have a Grandma up there. I'll just call her."
"Kay, I'll see ye when you get here?"
"Yup bye Ming."
"Bye Faithful."
She giggles then hungs up. I sighed. I look at my dad. He's a mess.

Now its 7:49 am. Still no word. God what's going on? Faith will be here by 8. I told my dad but he didn't care. I can tell that all he thinking about is Bella. That's all on his mind. But I can't tell him what Bella said. Well not yet at least. I will tell him.but not now, it'll kill him if he knew.


Faith came in. She looks like she been crying. I put her in my arms. She starts sobbing. I start to sob too.

Norman's POV

My mind is only set on Bella. Not anything else. God what's going on in there? I need to know if my little girl OK. Faith came. Faith and Mingus seem really close. Are they a 'thing?' Doesn't matter.

Its 8:36 am now. I'm getting worried by ever moment goes by. The out of the blue a doctor comes in. We all stand up. He has like a sad face.
"Mr. Reedus?" He ask.
Oh my god please be good news.
