Long Gone

7. Attacks...

I do not even bother to look up. I just concentrate on my yummy tacos. I do not want to keep them waiting. I look at it for a second to drool and pick it up to take the first bite. Yum-

Wait for it. Wait for it. Waiit for-

"So did you miss me yesterday Manny?" Jess asked and I groaned. Let me tell you it was not because of the tasty tacos because they were still stuck in between my teeth. I continue to chew and she raises an eyebrow.

"Nope!" I said popping the 'p'. She chuckled.

"Drop the act in front of me 'Manny' " she says and looks over to harry, he looks confused.

"It's not an act and do not call me Manny! Only my friends used to do that" I say coldly. I remember the day these fuckers gave me this name. They always said I'm manly.

They used to say that I walk like one, I eat like one and I behave like one considering the fact that I used to whine about getting my hairs cut real short like the guys and not have periods. I didn't know how to walk in those heels. I hated skirts and leggings or any skinny long object like Skinny jeans. I still do, it's just that I have to wear them. Although I only own like 3 pairs of them and a dozen or 2 pairs of shorts.

I was snapped out of my thought when my phone rang. It was some music my best friend made me keep as my ringtone. Me her and Jess were besties and inseparable. Jess is not in the gang at the moment but me and Kaitlin are. Kaitlin likes to hang out with the sluts for some reason and I don't bother. Jess looks at me with amusement that I still have that ringtone. The truth is I still can't change it. Nor can I change my wallpaper that is a picture of me and HIM.

It's the only picture with the only copy in my phone. We only have that one stupid picture together. We both loved that picture but it seems that HE removed it from his timeline, phone and his memories. I still love that picture. I am wearing a black tank top and black skinny jeans. He is wearing a black button down on a grey shirt with jeans. It was his and Kaitlin's birthday party. One of the best days of my life.

I realize that the phone is still ringing and pick it up after checking the caller ID.

Patrick.

What does he want!? Maybe something's wrong.

"Patrick" I say

"Nikkei, do you have your gun?" he asks me and I tense up. Harry notices this and gives me a look that says 'What happened?'. I shake my head and check for my gun.

"Yes" I say and he sighs.

"The gang from the other city is attacking us. Alan is stuck alone and he needs help." He says and I immediately stand up and go over to Harry grabbing him by his arm and dragging him with me. The whole cafeteria looks at us but all I can think of now is I need to help Al.

"Send me the address. I'm on my way." I say and hang up as we reach the parking lot. I go to Death (It's the motorcycle's name) and give Harry a helmet as I motion him to sit behind me as I climb on it. He takes it and sits without questioning.

"What's wrong?" he asks me after a while.

"The rival gang is attacking Al." I say and I sense him tensing up behind me. "Do you have a gun?" I ask him.

"I don't know how to use it but I do know how to use a knife." He says and I stop. We both get off and I give him my knife and he gives me his gun getting the idea I might need it.

We both exchange nods as I start walking and he walks beside me. I call Al. After 5 rings he finally picks up.

"How many are there?" I ask him.

"10" he replies and I hear gun shots. We are outnumbered but we can handle them. I calculate the number of bullets and people. We also have 4 knives. I think this will do. I never miss a shot. I start to run and Harry follows as we hear the gun shots getting louder.

I spot them and start shooting while running to get behind some car. We were currently in the parking lot of an abandoned building. No one was around. Me and Harry were behind a can and Al was behind another. I saw a boy trying to shoot Al completely oblivious to the fact that we are here and can see him. I use this opportunity as I shoot him right on his stomach as I shoot another one who is busy looking at his fallen friend with wide eyes. 3 people come and take him away. I see Harry from the corner of my eye throwing his knife which hit another one and someone picking him and running.

7 gone, 3 more to go.

It's equal now.

3 against 3.

I motion Harry to run to Al when I give him the signal and he nods understanding. I give him the signal as he runs and I run behind him shooting another one. We all are behind one car and 2 more are left. We keep on shooting blanks as 2 guns run out of bullets. Al tosses me 2 of them and I toss him a loaded one as I begin to load the others. Harry is out of knives. Al motions us to come behind him as he goes to the previous car. Harry follows. Al motions me to come and I see they still don't know Al and Haz are behind the other car.

Wait, did I just call Harry 'Haz'.the fuck is wrong with me. I think the shock is hard on me coz nothing like this has happened in a long time. I should talk to Al about it but then again he'll say 'it's because you are tired of us and you need friends. Oooorr maybeee you have a crush on Harry! Yes you do, I know it!'

Snap out of it Nikkei. You have people to kill.

Oh! Sorry. Forgot.

Go on then.

I try to load the guns and in the middle of loading the second one I notice that the car I leaking and someone is going to shoot it. My eyes widen and I quickly stand up with a half loaded gun as I run and jump over to the other one. It seems to go in slow motion.

I am in the air as Al shoots the guy as I almost land on Harry.

Almost.

He helps me up. It's now 2 against 2 since Harry is out of knives and he doesn't know how to shoot perfectly.

Its Blondie and brunette V/S 2 brunettes.

We continue to shoot aimlessly for god knows how long and I'm tired of it.

"Let's finish this" I say to myself and I think Harry heard it because his eyes widen at the rage and anger filled in my voice. He probably heard me speaking with so much hate the first time. I re-load the guns and straighten up.

"Time to go back to hell!" I say and aim my guns as I lock them on the 2 guys. Al stops shooting and looks at me in a 'I know" way. Harry also straightens and tenses. I let out a breath as I shoot them both square in the brain, right in the middle of their eyebrows as Al smirks. Harry just looks at me.

"I've been trying tell you, you know, I'm kinda awesome!" I say and smirk. I was still careful looking around with the corner of my eyes and so was Al. Harry turned around to pick up something when I saw another blonde pick up a gun while clutching his stomach where I shot him. I roll my eyes at this pathetic attempt and look over to see Harry straightening up as I see the blonde point the gun at him. I widen my eyes in realization as I see Al coming in front of him to save him and he shoots.

Everything seems to go in slow motion yet again. Harry was standing with wide eyes as Al tried to shield him and I jump in with wide eyes as soon I realize that he shot the bullet. I fall on the ground as I feel something I haven't felt in a long time.

Pain.

Al and Harry widen their eyes as I lay there and I see blood everywhere and when I spot the wound.

I realise.

It was me.

I was shot.
