I screamed I couldn’t believe this. My body began trembling all over again how could this be? How could he be gone right before my eyes. Chance has to be alive he cant be gone, he got me out, he saved me. My eyes met with Mr. Smith and I saw nothing but pure hatred not the mixed emotions that I saw the last few months but pure hate. “If I cant have you neither can he. I have hated this pain Anastasia I love you, don’t you know that? Why don’t you love me? You love this weak excuse for a boy? When you can have me a real man.” He drops Chance bleeding body I took a step forward as I cried looking at Chance not moving barely breathing. “Noooo Chance please get up please!”

　

　

　

Mr. Smith started running toward me. But Chance tackled him from behind. My heart had dropped just seeing Chance fighting still protecting me. He is still saving my life and he is in jeopardy. My dad pushed me behind me to keep me away from Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith had gotten back on top of Chance he had his hands around Chance neck but I saw something through the rain that I didn’t expect. Mr. Smith was crying and saying something to Chance I couldn’t hear but I knew it wasn’t good. The next thing I hear I assumed was thunder but realized it was a gunshot from the police. It had connected with Mr. Smiths shoulder. He was knocked off of Chance, the police rushed over before he could get up and handcuffed him. The paramedics rushed to Chance and the stopped the bleeding. I heard them say he would need stitches but they didn’t know how many or how deep it was. They get him on the ambulance and I hopped on with him. Before they close the doors I see my mom and dad standing there. My mom is worried sick I could tell. “Is he okay?” I smile at her cause she never cease to amaze me with how strong she tries to be. “I don’t know yet mom but meet us at the hospital okay?” She smiles at me. “Okay baby girl we will see you there.” She places her hand on top of my dads that rested on her shoulder. She was crying so hard I knew she was happy and still scared. They closed the doors, I held Chance hand. I couldn’t believe that I missed his touch this much.

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

My eyes met his. “ Hey why are you crying you are safe now?” I wiped the tears away. “I know but you are hurt cause of me.” “Aw this little scratch, I’ll be fine as long as you are safe. That’s all that matter.” I smile at him and he smile back. We make it the3 hospital and we go to separate rooms. I hated being apart from here cause I was still scared. I finally go to sleep after all the test and exams. When I wake up I see my mom, my dad , and Chance in his wheelchair. “Hey beautiful how are you feeling?” I smile. “I feel ALIVE!” they smile back at me. “You truly are and we are more then gratefully to have our angel back.”
