Song: Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People
The song is about the Columbine High School Shooting. Some of the lyrics just fit this chapter.
Harry's POV
Just after I see the guy, who I think is Jeremy, I hear a loud BANG and then a sharp pain in my right arm. I drop my phone and grab my arms where I have been shot. "AHHHHH!!!" I scream in pain! I think Charlotte screamed with me cause she is crying again and is by my side. My arm bleeding like I have never seen (A/N: Picture on the side). I applied pressure to try and stop the bleeding. Charlotte rips a piece of her shirt and wraps it around my wound to help the bleeding stop. I wanna say I was right when it was Jeremy who shot me. He came into the light and I saw more of what he looked like. (A/N: Picture of Jeremy in Chapter 14 on the side) He did have a green hood, camo to be exact. Ears were pierced and tattoos on his neck and on his forearms. He stood just about my height, 5 foot 10 and held the gun in his hand.
Charlotte's POV
The gun shot brought me back to reality. I didn't get hit though, Harry did. I screamed and cried when he screamed out in pain. Harry was bleeding more than I think he should be. I tell him to apply pressure and I rip my shirt and tie it around his arm the best I can. When the guy came in view, I knew who it was...it was Jeremy. He was here, in London and he came for me.
"WHAT THE FUCK?! WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" I scream standing up and stepping in front of Harry. Jeremy held the gun in his hand loosely and walked slowly towards us. "ANSWER ME!!"
"Harry, you should have listened to me. Your never supposed to be with another mans girl." Jeremy said so calmly as if he didn't care, which I know he didn't. "Come with me Charlotte and your little friend here is spared." That's his offer? Me...go with him? No, I don't think so. I'm tired of him controlling my life. I'm tired of being afraid of him.
I raise my voice again and yell, "NO! I WON'T GO WITH YOU!! You are abusive and you have hurt me, both physically and emotionally! I don't belong to you Jer-" I was cut off with another gun shot fired.
"AAAAHHHHH!!!" Harry screamed again. Jeremy shot him in his left leg. Harry is again bleeding, and I rush to rip another piece of my shirt to wrap his leg to stop the bleeding. I look into Harry's eye's and he is crying, because of the pain he is in. I also see fear and worry in his eyes. All I can do is cry with him.
"Jer-"
"Shut your mouth," he clicks the gun back, "or the last bullet is to his head."
I gasp and cry harder. My tears are unstoppable and the pain in my heart is unbearable. I know what Jeremy wants. I don't want to give him what he wants, but I won't let him hurt Harry anymore. I wipe my face with left over pieces of my shirt. Before I got up on my feet, I grab Harry's phone, I dial 911, and I whisper in his ear, "I'm sorry. Forgive me." I place the phone in his good hand, I get up, turn around and walk toward Jeremy.
"Char....don't.....ple..as....e." Harry said slowly trying yell. Ignore him and walk closer to Jeremy. I wasn't going to let Harry die. I hope he goes along with what I'm doing so that at least one of us will live.
Harry's POV
"Char....don't.....ple..as....e." I said slowly trying yell. She ignores me and walks closer to Jeremy. Why is she walking to him? Why is she-OH! I think I know what she is doing. She is trying to buy time so that I can call the police and paramedics so they can get here in a timely manner. Using my good arm, I hit the green button for 911 and it only rang once.
"911, what is your emergency?" the lady said in her posh accent. I told her where Charlotte, Jeremy and I were. I told her I was shot twice, losing blood fast and Jeremy still has a loaded gun. She said police and paramedics will be here in about 5 minutes. "Hurry!" was the last thing I said before I hung up the phone. Charlotte is walking closer and closer to Jeremy, step by step. I'm starting to feel light headed, but I keep my eyes on her.
Charlotte's POV
With every step I take, I get closer to him, Jeremy. I don't like this. I don't want to be near him, but I'm willing to get beat or taken away if it meant Harry, Angelica and Niall were safe from him. Jeremy, lowers his arm down, no longer pointing the gun at Harry or me. Jeremy smiled a wicked smile at me. I played along and smiled back at him.
"Good girl. You were always so smart. Making smart choices." His voice like poison in my ears and seeping into my brain. My hand reaches for the hand that held the gun. The same gun that hurt Harry's arm and leg. I keep eye contact with Jeremy so he won't pay attention to my hand moving.
I quickly grab a hold on the gun and in that moment, Jeremy gets angry and starts to fuss with me over the gun. Jeremy and I exchange grunts and yells at each other. Him and I were wrestling standing up, we never ended up on the floor. I try to rearranged our hands so that my hand is slipping his away from the trigger. I can't let him or I get shot while we fight. Over our grunts, and yelling, I hear Harry, calling for me to stop, get away. Believe me, I would, but I know if I did, I was good as dead-literally.
I lost track of how much time has gone by. I was still fighting with Jeremy and our of the corner of my eye, Harry is still bleeding and by the looks of it, he could pass out any second from all the blood loss. Off in the distance, I hear police sirens, footsteps and car doors opening and closing. To me, that was the sound of....freedom, hope, a dream come true. Justice might be served tonight.
"CoLP! (A/N: City of London Police) Everyone freeze!" I heard more than one cop say. I did has they said, but Jeremy didn't. He kept of fighting me and started to hit me. A slap here and a punch there. Abused again. Never fails does it? I asked it for though. At least this isn't happening to anyone else but me so I'm okay with it. My vision is not as good now that I'm getting beaten, but I do see paramedics getting to Harry. Good, he is being taken care of. He is going to live. Thank god. I hear and see the cops coming toward Jeremy and I but before they could get any closer......
BANG!
Another...
shot...
fired.....
