-Faith's Pov-

The numbness of my limbs made it impossible for me to move the slightest. The pitch darkness was all that I could see, I tried to open my eyes, but I was do weak to do anything.

All my senses seemed incompetent, useless. My ears still were ringing from the gunshot, causing all sounds around me to be faint shuffles near my ear.

I tried thinking of one thing, but I felt myself flinching at what my mind thought of. The memory kept returning of my parents trying to save me.

÷Flashback÷

I woke up, but this time I wasn't in a chair. My hands were chained to the ceiling, and my body was limp, so any struggle would be useless.

My vision was now blurry, due to lack of hydration. A figure was hanging like me to my left, I could tell it was my mother.

"Mom?" I tried to say, but my throat was too dry and raspy, as if someone muted me like a television.

There was no response, seeing the little movement coming from her.

The clicking of his heels returned, I tried to look up, but the muscles in my neck ached. I could only see the white and blue merge together in my hazy vision.

"Nice to see you have awakened. Your father has been waiting for this all day." He spoke, taking steps to me.

He touched my jaw, and slowly raised my head to look into his dark brown eyes, causing me to cringe in pain as the muscles in my neck felt like they were collapsing on each other. "Stop." I croaked, feeling the dry air scratch against my vocals cords.

He laughed, pleased with my pain. "Seems this one needs so water." He shouted into the echoing empty air.

He walked over into the corner, and grabbed a bottle of water.

He snickered softly, and went eye level with me, squatting, making his clothing begin to tighten around him.

"I can't just leave you to die yet." He teased the water in front of me, my eyes was the only thing to move. "I still haven't done the biggest performance of all."

He laid the rim of the bottle onto my lips and I tried to take sips, but I was too weak.

He slowly raised it up higher before raising it too high, instantly making my shirt soaked in water, and I coughed as I couldn't breathe with all the water in mouth and nose.

He dumped the rest on my head and crushed the bottle.

"I will be back." He called out as he left the room.

The door slammed, and I saw my mother move.

I could see her trying to push out of the cuffs on her hands in my blurred vision. "Mom?" I whimpered in pain.

"It's is alright Faith. I've been awake since he came up, but I have to get you out of here." She whispered.

The chains banged up against the wall as she slammed her wrists against it in hopes of getting out.

-Simon's Pov-

"SIMON!" I heard Vikk yell from downstairs as I was recording a new Youtubers Life video.

I was in the middle of creating a new video for the in game channel. I looked at the camera. "I don't know if you heard that, but Vikk just called for me." I paused. "I apologize, but I will be back in one second."

I put my controller down, and sighed. "What do you need?" I shouted back. "I was recording something."

I saw Vikk pacing the downstairs, hopping to get one of his shoes on. "Josh is going to the hospital right now."

I rolled my eyes. "Well he did move out and doesn't want us to be his friends because of that hoe he is dating."

Vikk stopped. "What is wrong with you?" He asked softly.

"What is wrong with you?" I repeated. "Why would you care about a guy who is dating a girl who doesn't care about him at all?"

I saw him laugh lightly, as if he knew something I didn't.

"What?" I asked with anger.

He looked me straight in the eye. "If Faith didn't give a single fuck about Josh, why would she have saved his life? She is dying right now as we speak after taking an actual bullet for him."

I sat speechless. "She did that?"

He nodded. "She is unconscious, bleeding out. I don't have all the details. But I need you to go pick up Amy and Bella."

I stood there, in shock. I felt Vikk grab my arm and drag me out.

"She is at London Bridge Hospital." He said, running out to his car.

I looked down at my hand and saw my keys, but I was still trying to process everything.

Everything I have ever said about Faith proved itself to be wrong in a matter of seconds. I couldn't help myself but actually do something for her, which felt weird and unnatural.

-Josh's Pov-

We arrived, and I knew that they would try to push me away from Faith, but even without knowing what would happen, I had to be here. I needed to know that I got to spend her last few moments with me, but I tried to force myself not to think like that.

The ambulance doors flew open, and everyone rushed her out in less than a second.

People ran with the stretcher, and made it through the doors. My eyes are filled with darkness. All of my senses became none usable, all except my hearing.

I hear scrambling all around me, squeeking of the stretchers wheels being turned, and heart monitors.

"Female. Age 17. Name is Faith Matthews. Shot at the right of her stomach at a carnival due to an unknown shooter. Get her to the OR immediately!" I heard one of the paramedics yell.

I felt a few arms grab onto me, holding me back as soon as we passed a certain door.

I tried pushing myself off, but the strength and grip was too much for someone that plays video games for a living.

"You cannot pass this door unless you are a certified doctor, sir." One said.

"But she all I care about. I have to be with her." I yelled back.

I could feel a cold metal go onto one of my wrists and then I was dragged to one of the beams that the waiting room had.

"You will stay here until she can have visitors." One of the doctors said, walking away. "I hate all of these love crazed couples. I always have to handcuff them."

I tried pushing my hand of the beam, but the handcuff kept getting tighter and tighter around my wrist.

I gave up, and just slide down the beam, and put my head into my knees, unable to contain myself.
