Fight Together (Sequel To Neighbor Next Door) Jace Norman

Chapter 12

Fionas P.O.V

I run into a small wood area behind Jaces house. I hear two gunshots then a scream. I look around frantically. "RUTH!" I scream out. "FIONA..."

A weak scream shouts out. I start breathimg heavily. "Ruth!" I scream running through the woods voice cracking in the middle. "Ruth!" I repeat. "Fiona."

I hear her whisper. I stop running. She has to be right next to me for me to hear that. I look around. I see legs sticking out from a bush. I start to cry. "No, no, no, no, no." I cry walking up to her. I neil down to her. She has been shot in the chest twice.

"Oh my god, are you ok. Dont worry I'll get you help." I say looking up at the direction of Jaces house. "No, no, Fiona." I look down at her. "Fiona Im not gonna make it." I close my eyes and bite my lip. "Dont say that. You're gonna make it."

She sniffles. "Fiona, I am literally about to die." She laughs. A tear rolls down my cheek. "Hey, hey dont cry. I dont want anybody to cry. Celebrate my life okay? I nod and wipe away my tears because I know I would want the same thing.

"Fiona, I gotta tell you something. Fight for what you want." I furrow my eyebrows? "You dont understand what im saying do you?" I shake my head no. She laughs.

"Im saying. I know you like Jace. In fact I know you love Jace, and I know you want him back...badly." I look down because I know its true. "So, what im saying is just because hes not "available" doesnt me you dont have to stop loving him."

I furrow my eyebrows. "Are you sayung make him cheat on Charlotte?" She laughs harder. Then grabs her chest because it hurts. "Take it easy." I whisper.

"I am not saying that at all. Im saying dont let her stop you from being friends with him. And to be honest...I dont think you should trust Charlotte. " She says the last part quietly. "Why?" She starts drifting off. I start to lightly tap her cheeks.

Her eyes flitter open. "Please dont go." I whisper. Tears falling off my face onto her stomach. She smiles. "Goodnight Jennifer. Love you. " I cry harder. "I love you too Ruthanne."

Then thats it. She falls in a peaceful sleep. I sniffle. "Goodnight." I say voice cracking in the middle. Her face grows pale. I cry harder. My sister is gone. She helped me so much. I need to go...I need to go to my family. I pick up Ruthie and walk back to the house.

Jaces P.O.V

"Okay Mr.Norman, we will have this report sent to the police station immediately." I nod. "Thank you." I say silently. Just then I hear someone come in through the kitchen door.

I turn around and see Fiona carrying what looks like a lifeless Ruth. She is crying really hard. My heart pounds through my chest. "Ma'am, what is your name?"

A cop asks reaching for his gun. I am speechless. "I am Jennifer Dales, and I am still alive." Fiona says boldly. Tears fall down my cheeks. "Where is Charlotte? " I ask. She looks at me. "I dont know." She mouths. "Who are you carrying?"

The cop asks. "Ruthanne Johanson. Can you still help her?" Fiona asks. "Set her down. Now!" Fiona does so and paramedics work on her. After a second they stop. "Shes gone."

Fiona sobs. Charlotte runs through the door. Half of her face is bloody. She looks down and sees Ruthanne on the floor. "No, no!" She cries bending down to her. She grabs her hand. "Help her!" She scream.

Fiona slides against the wall and sits on the floor hiding her face in her lap. I sob at the sight. "Ma'am shes gone." She sniffles heavily. "No.." She whispers. I walk over to Fiona and sit next to her. I start crying harder.

I shut my eyes. I feel and arm around me. I look over and see Fiona holding in her tears. "Before she died, she told me she doesn't want people to cry.

She wants people to celebrate her life." I sniffle relaxing my face a little bit. "Lets try...for her." She says holding back tears. I nod. She nods back. The paramedics cover Ruthie up and put her in the truck.

I lay my head on Fionas shoulder. She strokes my hair. To be honest this is where I wanna be cuddling with Fiona. Laying in her arms. Its just feels more natural than when I cuddle with Charlotte.

But right now all I can think about is Charlotte. I feel Fiona get up. "I'll be back." I furrow my eyebrows. "Where are you going?" I question. She turns around and stares at me. "Home." She simply replies. I look down and my mouth makes and o shape.

Fionas P.O.V

I approach the front door and knock twice. I wonder if they'll recognize me. My mom answers the door. She smiles? "Hello, may I help you?" I feel tears start to come. "Its me..." She furrows her eyebrows. "Do I know you?"

I sniffle. "Its me mom." Her face goes blank. "F..f..Fiona?" I nod. She slightly faints and falls to ghe fall I pick her up. "I..I..im hallucinating, y..y..you've been dead for 3 years." I shake my head no. "I never died." She sighs twice. "Jack!" She yells. My father runs to us. "Whats going on? Who is she?"

"Its me your daughter, Fiona Jane Johanson. " His jawline pulses. "Do you think thats a joke!" He yells. I close my eyes and shake my head no. "Look, I never died.

Im telling the truth I died February 18th 2016. I know this because I attended my own funeral." He looked at me with wide eyes. "I faked my death, but I need to tell you something."

They both started crying. "Please stop crying. " They both sniffled. "Come in." My mom said. We all sat on the couch. "Do you need anything? " I shook my head no. "I have bad news. " They looked at me with concerned eyes. "They're back. Paige, Zac, all of them they're after us again. So you need to keep safe."

"Oh my god." Mom cuts me off. "But thats not it." I say starting to cry. "Ruthanne. ..." I trailed off crying. "Ruthanne what!" Dad screamed impatiently. "She just died."

My mom leads off with sobbing. My dad just sits in shock. "Please dont cry, she didnt want anyone to cry." I beg beggining to cry myself. "What so you think you can replace our daughter, you cant replace Ruthanne. Get out of my house!"

My dad screams. "I just came here to-" "GET OUT!!!" I jump. I walk over to the door. No. My mom sobs trailing off. I look at her. "I'll come back I promise. " I sob starting to cry.

"Dont go..." She sobs while crying hard. "I'll come back I promise." My dad jumps up dont come back! After all the pain you put this family through you should be ashamed to live....GET OUT AND DONT COME BACK!!!"

I let out a loud sob amd run out the door. I run and run. I have nowhere to go. Then it clicks I'll where this all began.

Jaces house.
