All This Time

chapter fourteen; shot

New cover;by me (;
*********
Ive been sitting in out here in the cold morning, for about about half an hour .Ive been waiting for a bus to come but no bus seems to stop at this stop. So I decide to stand up and wave my arm hoping for the best. After like 2 minutes of waving my arm , a car stops and the window gets rolled down.

"Need a ride ?" The man asks. He looks about 28 years old. He has hazel eyes, dark bushy eyebrows, and short hair styled to the side with a lot of gel.

" Uh yeah." I say.

"Where to?" He asks raising one eyebrow.

"Salt lake City, Utah." I say.

" Im going to be passing Utah, ill drop you off over there. Sound good?" He says and I nod. " Common get in. We shall not be wasting time." he says.

I get in the car, and right away he locks the doors. Okay I got to admit this worries me.

We've been in the car for a couple hours now. It has been a really awkward silence. Right when I was about to say something my phone rings. I look at the caller ID . Luke.

"Who's that? " the guy says.

"A friend." I say and I answer the phone.

"Where the hell are you." I ask .

"I went to go pick a friend." He says. " where are you?"

" Im heading to Utah. Something you should've done."

"Tell him to drop you off somewhere ill go pick you up."

"Oh now you want to pick me up?" I guess I yelled because the guy flinched. I mouth out sorry and he nods.

" Just tell him to drop you off , and send me the location."

"Fine." I hang up.

"Uh sir?" I say.

"Yes?" He asks.

" my friend says he can pick me up, just drop me off at a hotel or something." I say.

"Sure why not. " he nods and looks up at the mirror. I suddenly feel hands on my mouth holding a rag that smelled a lot like rubbing alcohol. Before I could yell I fell deeply asleep.

I wake up and realize I'm not in a car anymore. I was in a white room, a bed was next to me, I guess we got to a motel. A man that Ive never seen before laying on the bed. I try to move my hands but I couldn't. and thats when I realized I was tied up to a chair.     

"Whe- where am I." I yell . "Help!" I yell. The man besides me wakes up. He sits up, gets off the bed and stands right in front of me.

"Shut up! You woke me up! Now you have to pay!" He says. Before I could say anything He slaps me, then again, and again, and again. My cheek now burning. I could see a smirk on his face. " such a pretty face." He cups my cheeks and kisses me. I move my head sideways to try and pull out of the kiss but it doesn't work.

" st-o-st-op-stop!" I yell. Then the door bursts open. It was the man from the car.

" I see you bro, " he says. " ill try her out later." WAIT WHAT. Oh God. No ! What does he mean by this? Sęx? No! Im waiting till marriage for this! Oh God ! The man from the car walks over to me. " Im sorry things ended up this way. I need the money."

" wha-t . Money? "

" I already called that friend of yours. Its a lot of money that he's willing to pay. "

" oh no. luke." I whisper. " HELP!" I yell as loud as I can. Minutes later there was a knock on the door. Please be Luke. Please be Luke.

The man that slapped me goes over to the door and opens it. It wasn't Luke at the door. It was a old man.

" I heard a scream, is everyone alright?" The old man asks peeking through the door gap, but the guy closes the door shut.

"Shit . We gotta go ! " he yells at the other guy. Then starts packing his things.

"What about her ?" The other guy says pointing at me. Then the guy packing his stuff pulls out a gun from his back pack and loads it. He then points it at me, and shoots, then shoots again. The guys look at each other then get out the door.

It burns. I can feel the bullets scratch my rib cage. The bullet hit me in my stomach. I think its above my belly button, I cant tell. I try to stay calm but I start to get dizzy. I hear ambulance and police sirens. The door bursts open, police men with guns come in then look at me. They walk over to me. I start to loose conscience and they pat my cheek yelling out things that I cant seem to hear or process. It wasn't even a minute later when I blank out.

Luke's pov

I rush through the halls, slamming doors open until I get to the front desk.

" Harper Rose Benson." I tell the nurse.

" Shes not stable right now. " the nurse says.

" look I don't have time for this! I want to see her . Now!"

" sir sh- " the nurse gets cut off by the doctor approaching. " Doctor could you tell this young man that Harper Rose isn't in any condition to have visitors." The nurse tells the doctor.

" Im sorry but the nurse is right. She just got out of a serious surgery and she needs rest." The doctor says looking through his clip board.

" please ." I sigh.

" Fine, 10 minutes. No more."

"Thank you so much." The nurse gives me the room number and I head over to her room. I stand in front of the door. Alright I can do this. I need to apologize so I brought her a rose, get it ? Her middle name is rose , Haha I have no sense of humor. I open the door to see Brandon kissing Rose in the cheek.
