The Guy I Met In College (COMPLETE)

The Big Reveal pt. 3

I stand looking at Aman breathlessly, why is he protecting me.
"Priya it's a long story, but let me sum it up for you," Aman sighs looking down.
"The injury on my side... That was a stab wound, the other scar on my side is not from a car crash but from busting a mafia group killing every single member, the time I was in the hospital was caused by a car chase. I got shot trying to protect you." He says anger and worry evident in his voice.
"What..." I breath out not believing what I was hearing.
"I've known Aisha for 6 years... I finished college four years ago, I'm 25 not 21. I've known your parents almost all of my life and I'm only at your college to protect you." Aman says letting the truth slip from his lips. I back up into the wall trying to comprehend everything but failing miserably. I breath frantically as there is a panicked knock at the door.
"Aman open up, change in plans he didn't buy it!" Aisha's concerned voice enters my hearing.
"What!" Aman shouts rushing to the door and unlocking it. Aisha almost falls through the door and her voice catches in her throats when she sees me.
"Priya!" She shrieks out in shock. Her expressions go from shocked to anger in a matter of seconds.
"Fuck! Kaal must've seen her or one of his men saw her!" Aisha shouts punching the wall.
"Kaal?" I question quietly.
"Aman if you want to keep her alive, you've got to get her out of here now!" Aisha yells getting into Aman's face.
"Close the door I need to talk to you," Aman says bringing Aisha into the bathroom closing the door.
"Please don't tell me your gun isn't loaded!" Aisha shouts in worry.
"It's loaded, but I need you to get her out... I'll deal with Kaal," Aman says with pain in his voice.
"Who is Kaal?! And why do you guys have guns!" I shout grabbing their attention.
"You didn't tell her?!" Aisha says with slight relief in her voice.
"Not yet but she knows to much to be lied to anymore, Aisha get her out of here now!" Aman says grabbing Aisha by the shoulders and shaking her slightly.
"But we weren't prepared for this! Gene and Courtney don't even know we came in!" Aisha says with worry floating in her eyes.
"Don't be scared... this is what we've been training for... get her out and I'll meet on the other end at headquarters." Aman instructs and hugs Aisha real quick. He looks over to me and strides over.
"What I'm about to do us very dangerous, I need you to go with Aisha... I promise one way or another I will make it to be with you and tell you everything." Aman says and his eyes rimmed with tears.
"Aman... what's happening..." I say my voice catching in my throat. He smiles faintly at me and gives me a kiss on the forehead.
"It's okay, just get out and get safe... Aisha will take you to safety." Aman says before hugging me tightly.
"I love you," he whispers before releasing me and rushing to the door picking a gun from his back pocket. He opens the door and heads out into the club.

****************

The door shuts behind me and my breath comes out unsteady. This is what I've trained for, this is who I am. I can't back down now. I peer around the corner and see Kaal scanning the entire club with emotions clouding his eyes. I point my gun towards the speakers and shoot once making the club go silent. I then point my gun up to the ceiling and shoot twice. Screams fill my ears as I watch people rush to get out. Kaal's men are behind him scanning every person. The emergency exit slams open and Gene comes rushing in with his gun drawn and Courtney right behind him. Kaal's men pull their guns and start to shoot at Gene and Courtney, but they are too quick and shoot Kaal's men first. Kaal drops the the ground pulling his own gun out aiming right in my direction. I pull my trigger first and watch as the bullet makes contact with his arm. I smirk proudly at my shot and then I watch Courtney reach into her back pocket picking out a smoke bomb, she pulls the chain and throws it down on the ground the smoke filling the room. I run across the club to the bar jumping over it and shoot at Kaal's men who are protecting their leader. I see Aisha and Priya running to the emergency exit with Gene going with them. I feel relief rain down on me then feel a sharp pain in my arm. I look over and see one of Kaal's men smirking at me viscously. I draw the knife he stabbed into my arm out and shove it right into his chest punching him twice before he falls into glasses sending the sound through out the room. I jump the bar again and keep my gun drawn as I try to make my way through the smoke. I see Courtney heading to check around where the bathrooms are with her gun drawn. I keep my gun up and keep darting my eyes to every inch of the club that I can see. I turn around and Kaal is right there then I feel a sharp object come in contact with my partially treated stab wound. I grit my teeth in pain and look at the menacing man in front of me. He leans closer to me and scoffs at my weakness.
"No matter what... she will be mine... and I will kill her." Kaal whispers into my ear twisting the knife inside me and I feel blood rushing down my body.
"I will kill her just like I killed Gracie... and just like I killed your family!" He finishes his statement pulling the knife out quickly. I shout in pain and he stabs me one last time before calling his men and dropping me to the floor. I watch them leave and I grab my side in pain, I apply pressure with my hand trying to ease the rush of blood.
"Courtney!" I shout weakly. Courtney comes around the corner with her gun drawn but as she looks down and sees me she puts it away and rushes to my side.
"Aman!" She shouts not knowing what to do.
"I've gotta get to Priya!" I hiss through gritted teeth.
"Aman! You need a hospital!" Courtney shouts.
"I promised Priya!" I yell feeling blood rushing out of me and my side burning with pain.
"Then we will go to the hospital at headquarters!" Courtney shouts with worry in her voice.
"Okay..." I say drifting my words. I look up at the disappearing smoke and feel my eyes getting droopy.
"Aman? Aman c'mon stay with me!" Courtney shouts.
"I'll be right back!" She says panicked as she runs out of the door. I divert my gaze back to the ceiling and feel the pressure I was applying decrease as the blood continues to rush through my fingers.
"Aman!" I hear someone yell and slowly divert my eyes to the blurry figures around me.
"God damn it Aman! I should've gone out not you!" I hear Aisha yell and I divert my gaze to Courtney. I blink twice. I pull my hand from under me and dig in my pocket. I pull out what I'm looking for and take Courtney's hand. I place it in her hands and smile weakly.
"Give it to Priya," I say shakily.
"No Aman your gonna give it to her!" Courtney cries.
"Don't bet on that," I laugh slightly and close my eyes letting darkness and numbness consume my body.
