Chapter 32- Exit Wounds
*Danny’s POV*
It all happens so fast, I don’t have time to do anything, my brain unable to taken in what is going on around me. I am shoved sideways from behind me, Autumn’s hand releasing its self from mine. I hit the cold concrete with a thud but I am too distracted to feel pain. I look up in shock as the world goes into slow motion in front of me. I am just in time to see Autumn fail to move out of the path of the gun. She looks at me, her eyes full of tears, fear and pain as the small lead ball collides with her. I watch her fall, my heart aching, my world spinning. I distantly hear someone cry out and it takes me a moment to realise it was me. Suddenly nothing else in the world matters, nothing but Autumn, my beautiful Autumn, nothing but her.
*Autumn’s POV*
It’s electric, burning a hole in me like a fire. I am suddenly aware of every breath my lungs take, every beat of my heart, everything. The pain shocks my throat into sealing up, meaning making sound is impossible. The ground is cold under me but my body is on fire, it runs through my veins, smoke clouding my brain, even my tears burn my skin as they soak into my cheeks. Suddenly a new feeling falls upon my skin, the feeling of skin against skin. I look up and see him, his arms wrapping around me, pulling me into him.
“A-Autumn?” he stutters, his tears dripping off his dark lashes onto my face. His tears are not like mine, they are cooling, refreshing almost. I just gaze up at him, at Danny. I never had a father, I never knew what it was to have one, but I guess, this is it, isn’t it? Danny has become my father, and so much more. I can feel his arms shaking under me but I can’t do anything.
“Oh god, oh my fucking god.” He chokes out, gasping for air, his voice shaking even more than his arms. Suddenly another person comes into view; Cat. I guess Dan and Joey are gone, run off, not even bothering to wait to see the deed completed.
“We-w-c-call an ambulance.” Cat stutters as bends over me, her eyes filling with tears. “Danny, an ambulance!” She cries, breaking Danny from his trance. I move slightly in his arms as he pulls out his phone and brings it to his ear. “It’s ok sweetie, it will be ok, just lie still.” Cat whispers, brushing my hair back off my forehead.
“Ambulance please.” Danny croaks into the phone. I feel the corners of my vision begin to black out and I fight against it, waiting for them, wanting to see them all, all together, one more time. “They are coming.” Danny says, sniffing as he puts his phone back into his pocket.
