Colleen's POV
Joshua and I just got back from our 6 day honeymoon. We had a lot of fun! We went to Fiji! We were in our room unpacking. We put dirty clothes in the washer and put our clean clothes away. I sat down in the bed and was on my phone. Josh was in the bathroom doing something. I was hungry. He came out of the bathroom.
"Baby I'm sick. Can you get me chipotle?" I asked looking at him.
"Even if you're not sick I'll get you chipotle." He said with a small laugh. "Are you still sick?"
"No I'm not still sick." I said with a smile. I kissed him and he left to get the food.
After about 5 minutes, I decided to go out and watch some tv. So, of course, once I pressed the power button I got onto my phone and got distracted as the news played in the background. I over heard something that the newscaster said.
"So if you see someone like this, call the cops immediately. And for those who are just tuning in, there has been a prisoner that has escaped. He stole a AK-47 from the prison and ran. Stay inside."
I flipped out. I called Josh.
"Yeah?" He said. "Hold on babe." I heard the cashier in the background as he paid. "Ok what's up?"
"Josh. I was just listening to the news and someone escaped from prison with a gun and he's around. I'm so scared Josh. Please come home."
"Babe it will all be ok. If you need the gun you know where it is. I'll be there in 15 minutes. I love you." And he hung up.
It's been 5 of the 15 minutes. I'm just being paranoid. I'll be fine. I decided to go out onto the front porch and sat on my phone.
Up the road... I saw him... The escape shooter. I was freaking out. I ran inside and turned all the lights off and shut all the blinds. I ran into my room and shut the door. I called the cops on my cell phone and Josh on the home phone. I told the cops and Josh everything. I looked out of my window and saw him. Looking right back at me from the sidewalk.
I had already hung up with the cops and was talking with Josh.
"Oh my gosh. Josh he saw me." I started crying.
"Baby just hide I'll be there in 3 minu-" he cut the phone lines. And he turned of the power. I went and hid in the bathtub. Yeah... It had a curtain and there was nothing worth stealing there just in case.
I heard foot steps in the house. I forgot the lock the doors. 'Crap.' I thought to myself. I went to get my phone from the counter but he was already there.
"Sir please don't hurt me!" I begged.
"Give me a reason not to!" He yelled.
I couldn't talk. I was crying to hard. That was it.
He shot me. 3 times. Close the the collar bone on the left side, my shoulder, and my upper arm area. I laid there moaning and he ran away. I was bleeding all over the bathroom floor. Then I blacked out.

Joshua's POV
I called Colleen 7 times in 3 minutes. I turned into the drive way and ran inside. The door was already opened. Oh no.
"COLLEEN?!" I yelled.
I dropped the food to the floor and ran around the house looking for her. I found her in our bathroom floor. There were the holes in her. There was a puddle of blood around her. My eyes filled with tears as I called an ambulance. I sat there holding her cold hand.
The ambulance got there in the longest 3 minutes of my life. We're lucky we live close to the hospital. They put her in the ambulance. I was crying. My wife. My beautiful wife. This can't be happening.
