One Day

Chapter 8

Jack comes back and tells me the news,
"When we get back to the room," he says, "you and Emma are going to call your parents and ask them if it's okay and then they will bring your stuff and so on." He looks so hot when he's smiling I almost can't bear it.
"Okay," I say, "I don't know if my mom will let me but it's worth a shot."
"Any things worth the shot if your in it." He says, even though it's super cheesy he still makes it sound good.
I think I'm just a little obsessed.

Emma and I decide that we should let the boys go for a couple of hours, so we split up. Emma and I go to the mall.
We first stop at a hair place. Emma gets brown streaks in her hair and I get some blond streaks.
We stop at Abercrombie and Fitch and I get some super cute shirts and some skinny jeans.
"Hey Em this top is really cute." I say to Emma.
"Yeah maybe you should try it on though before you buy it."
"Okay can you hold my purse for me."
"Sure."
I step into the dressing room and lock the door. I start taking my shirt off when I hear someone scream. That someone is Emma.
"Help!!" She shouts
I wrench my shirt back on and run out the door. I find some random guy with a mask over his face, holding a gun up to Emma's head. Tears are streaming down her face.
"Come with me and I won't shoot." He whispers.
She nods. I'm hiding behind some clothes so he can't see me but Emma does, I put my finger to my lips to signal her to be quiet.
Let's hope those Tae Kwon Do lessons payed off.
They pass means right as the gun comes into view I jump out and, using my left hand, swoop the gun sideways so it isn't facing anyone and use the twisting thing my dad taught me. He try's to fight back but now I have the gun.
"Don't come any closer or I will shoot." I say, hoping I sound braver than I feel.
He backs away, I see fear in his eyes that wasn't there before. He hurried off after I put my finger on the trigger.
I stare down at my hands when he's gone. I quickly unload the gun and cock it back to make sure there isn't anything in the chamber.
Emma lunges forward and hugs me so tight I feel like I'm going to be sick.
"Thank you so much Ash, I could've died if you weren't here."
"Anything for my bæ." I say laughing a little. Pretty soon we're laughing pretty hard. The manager comes out and asks us if anything is alright. We tell her what happened and all the details she needs. They thank us and apologize for the inconvenience. They give us all the clothes for free and we leave feeling happy and calm.
"Well that was some shopping trip." Emma says as we come out of the last store. I nod in reply as we head back to the hotel.
