The Ending You Deserve (MARIANAS TRENCH)

Chapter 24: Bleeding Like It Don't Hurt

*Matt's POV*

"Adrianna's a big Simple Plan fan, so I'm taking her to their concert tomorrow night," I told the guys. I was really looking forward to it. My plan was to ask her to be my girlfriend while we were there. I was feeling nervous excitement just thinking about that.

"That's great-" Mike started.

Ring....ring....

"It's Ramsay's cell ringing!" Ian jumped from his seat to see who it was. Josh must've left his cell here while going to the store. "It's Miranda!"

Ian was just about the press answer, but I grabbed it out of his hands just in time.

"You guys screw up enough people's convos, and this one's probably important. I'm taking his phone to him," I said, boldy.

I jogged to my car, turned the keys in the ignition and started driving. The convenience store was really close, if Miranda just held on the line, I could make it.

Once I arrived in the parking lot, I noticed a group of guys crowded around the entrance.

*Miranda's POV*

Ring...ring...

There was no answer.

I slumped back down on the floor, tossing my phone to the side. He must not have wanted to talk to me, this was the last straw. Now I knew that it was truly over.

*Matt's POV*

I carefully waited in my car, for the commotion to end. Miranda's call ended, and just as I was about to call her back and explain, I heard a gunshot.

I immediately called the police, and waited in my car, while ducking just incase there were anymore.

"I told you to leave her alone!" one of the people there, with booming voice said.

"But I did, Marcus! I saw her at the store for like two seconds, but that was weeks ago, and it was unplanned. Now will you just let me go?" another voice said, crumpled on the ground.

"Don't give me that! I have proof in that little video you shot!" the man showed his phone screen.

"What does Darla Taylor have to do with this?" the man lying on the ground asked.

"She has EVERYTHING to do with this! I told you to leave MY GIRLFRIEND Darla alone, and you shoot a frickin' video when you're all over her! You choose not to obey my orders, you suffer the punishment!" he kicked the man, who was holding his side, with his blue hair covering half his unconscious face.

That's when I realized who the victim was.
