My Sister's Keeper

Chapter Nine Bang Bang

            I look at myself in the mirror and see my tired eyes under all the make-up. Matt doesn't want to do this dance without me, so he's making me do it with him. I move my light blue dress around and then go out into the kitchen to find Matt trying to tie his tie. I roll my eyes and tie it for him. He smiles and blushes. "Sorry I'm just nervous... You know my mom wanted me to dance with this girl I barely know and now I'm dancing with you."

                  I giggle and kiss his cheek. "It's going to be okay." Then we walk to his car and we drive to the school. There are a lot of people and when I step out guys stare and girls wave. "Ladies and Gentlemen! The first dance will be held by Matt Fisher!" We walk out into the middle of the floor as fog fills the floor. I stand in front of him and put his hand on my hip and the other in my hand. Then we start the dance we have done so many times.

                It comes easy to me and he grins at me as his prosthetics are moving with my legs. There's a big dip he has to do on me and sweat is sliding down his four head as I nod. He dips me back and everyone cheers, delighted and I can see his mother with tears in his eyes. He brings me close to his face and I look into his green eyes and his lips meet mine. At fist I hesitate but then wrap my arms around his neck as everyone goes on the dance floor.

                  Then his lips move to my ear and he whispers. "I love you." I feel tears running down my cheeks, knowing this is all he has wanted and I kiss his cheek. "I love you too." Then a huge bang comes from the back and I feel a pain in my stomach. Instantly my hand goes to the pain and I look down and see blood gushing from the wound on my stomach.

                 Everyone is screaming and Matt is covering me as my vision is starting to go hazy. "Ryan, stay with me! Someone call nine one one!" He screams as his hand goes over mine on my stomach. I vaguely remember his mother's face and some paramedics but all I hear is Chris... He's talking to me on a phone. "Ryan, don't die! I'm going to be at the hospital soon!" Then I slowly fade into darkness.

                                           

                   Chris's POV

                                       They rush her in quickly and I see her blood all over this young man and his suit. He's crying and I stand quickly and rush down the hall with them. "What happened?" I ask and he looks up at me. "A kid at school tried to shoot me and the bullet hit her." "Do you know that she has a sister that is mentally ill?" I say and he nods.

"I met Cameron, you must be Chris." I nod slowly and he looks at me. "I'll go with her and you go talk to Cameron." I nod and rush to Cameron's room. I burst through the door and she is holding the teddy bear Ryan must have gotten her and she is talking to it. I sit down next to her and look at her. "Cameron Ryan's hurt." "H-how?" She asks with tears gleaming in her eyes quickly. "Someone shot her with a gun." "Bang bang?" She asks making a gun shape with her hands. I nod slowly and hug her close. "Bang bang."
