He pulled the trigger

'Good news Rosa, thanks to you and your mum we have located and arrested "Robert". We are still not sure of his real name, but we shall run a DNA test shortly.' a tired police man tried to smile, we were sitting in the police station. Mum was sitting to my left, head in her hands. I was shocked, I told on him, and he hadn't killed me. And I still can't believe that the police actually believed a self-harming, weird school girl about something this serious. For all they knew I could be telling a lie.

'Thank you...' mum sniffled, she hadn't stopped crying since we left school. A police officer came in and escorted us to a police car, which took us to the station. Where we were informed of the situation, they went after Robert. Well, I suppose if mum hadn't gone out with him, I wouldn't of recognised him if she hadn't brought him home and he would still be dealing illegal drugs. Funny how life turns out.

The police officer left the room, we waited another 10 minutes until we herd a fight occur outside. I peeked out of the window, I couldn't hear what he was saying, but he was shouting loudly. Police officers were struggling to contain him. Robert was just outside this room, probably looking for me. 'What's going on?' mum whispered nervously. 'Robert' was all I had to say. Then I opened the door. 'Rosa, what are you doing?' mum squealed in surprise 'I am stopping this. Right now. He wants to see me, then he can. He is hurting innocent people, I need to stop him.' I frowned as I stepped outside, mum stayed where she was.

A police officer tried to get me to stay inside the room, but I refused. 'I need to kill her! GIVE ME THE GIRL! SHE RUINED MY LIFE! KILL THE LITTLE DEVIL!' Robert was screamed and hitting, somehow he had a police officer's gun in his hand. 'THERE SHE IS! HAPPY NOW? Are you happy now?' je began to shout, but then he came closer, face to face with me. Many police officer's had their guns out, ready to shoot if necessary. 'No. I am not happy.' I frowned 'I am ecstatic!' I whispered in his ear. 'Don't forget Rosa, I am bigger and stronger than you. I can do what I like. You ruined my life.' he growled as he grabbed me by the neck, gun pointing at my heart.

'You know if you shoot me.....you will be shot as well.....' I chocked 'I know, but I will die anyway, in prison.' he grumbled 'Put the gun down sir.....' a police woman gestured, but he just turned the gun on her. 'I don't want any trouble. I just want the girl, you can all live, if you leave me with her.' he smirked and evil smirk, as he knew that they wouldn't leave. 'Or if you don't leave I shall kill her instantly.....' he threatened, his grip tightened on his gun and on my neck.'Please.....do as....he says.....' I managed to say. They instantly turned to me, and they retreated slowly into another nearby room. 'Right Rosa, I want you to know that I hate you, and no-one loves you. Or ever will......' he smiled as his finger almost pulled the trigger 'Not quite.' a woman spoke as she stepped into the room. It was mum's voice.

Robert turned around to see the woman who he had "dated" for the past few weeks. 'I love Rosa, she is a beautiful, intelligent, bright, funny girl. My girl. My baby. And no matter what I do, or what I say, or what she says or does, I will always love her.' she stood up to Robert 'And you never told us, why did you want to date me?' she smiled a nervous smile 'Well, there's no harm in telling you now.....I dated you because I wanted to test drugs on you, I was going to, but of course Rosa got in the way.' he turned back to me. 'Well, only one person ,loves you. And it's your own mum! Pitiful!' he smirked. 'Wrong again!' a male voice spoke, Robert moved out of the way. Alex! I was glad to see someone else here. 'I love Rosa, as in...well, friend love, kinda....ya know......anyway, ummm......Rosa is a great friend, and I love the way she smiles, so back off her you crazy maniac. I'm just glad my dad dragged me along to work today, speaking of my dad......' he spoke with a nervous tone, but you could tell he meant business. Robert took his hand off my neck, and I fell to the ground.

Alex's dad stepped out of a nearby room, I herd you call Alex.......' he smiled, but then he saw Robert pointing a gun at me. 'Drop your weapon sir, you're under arrest......' he shouted as he pulled out his gun 'No chance.' Robert smiled as he pulled the trigger. I expected to feel pain, but I looked up to see he wasn't pointing the gun at me, but someone else in the room.

I didn't dare look up, in fear of being shot, some police officers dared to venture out of their prison,. to help who ever was shot. Everything was blurred and words slurred into long lines of nonsense, I saw Robert be put into handcuffs, then I looked up. I instantly ran over to the body lying, gasping for air on the ground. Blood poured out of the wound. I hated to see him like this. Tears poured out of my eyes. 'No!' I cried as I placed my hand in his.

**Alex's POV**

I was filing paper in my dad's office. We all had the day off school, so he told me to come to work with him, it's boring but better than doing nothing. I saw a load of police men back slowly into a nearby room. I herd a commotion earlier on, but I thought nothing of it. In a police station a lot of fights break out daily. But then I looked out of the office window, Rosa? She was in trouble.

'Well, only one person ,loves you. And it's your own mum! Pitiful!' he smirked. 'Wrong again!' I smirked as I stepped out of dad's office. I neede to buy Rosa some time. 'I love Rosa, as in...well, friend love, kinda....ya know......anyway, ummm......Rosa is a great friend, and I love the way she smiles, so back off her you crazy maniac. I'm just glad my dad dragged me along to work today, speaking of my dad......' I tried to be confident, but it wasn't working. I really did love Rosa, but I didn't know how to tell her. I get so nervous, she would think I was stupid. Robert took his hand off Rosa's neck, and she fell to the ground. All I could do was watch as she gasped for air.

Dad stepped out of a nearby room, I herd you call Alex.......' he smiled, but then he saw Robert pointing a gun at Rosa. 'Drop your weapon sir, you're under arrest......' he shouted as he pulled out his gun 'No chance.' Robert smiled as he turned the gun in my direction, and he pulled the trigger. I managed to protect my heart, but the bullet still hit. Pain ran all through my body, and I collapsed. Dad bent over me as my eyes fluttered closed. Blackness surrounded me. I was going to die for sure. I didn't want to die, I hadn't told Rosa how I really felt about her yet. I couldn't die.
