Lame Choices

Chapter 25

CHAPTER 25

I know that Jane Wright is a sharp shooter. She could kill me even if I'm behind Carlo.

Hurvy and Alab tried to get her gun from her but everytime they move, Jane tries to kill them.

"Eljin, stay back." Carlo told me.

"I have an idea." Jane Wright said. "What if, I'll let Eljin leave if Carlo will go with me."

"No!" Carlo assured.

Everyone in this situation were making the 'that-is-unbelieveable' look.

"...Like in the movies, even if I go with you, you will still kill Eljin." he added.

"So you decline? I'll kill both of you then." She chuckled monstrously.

"If you will, you would be living the consequences." Carlo said.

"I DON'T CARE! I'LL KILL YOU BOTH!"

She started to count, "ONE!"

"Carlo, Are you out of your mind!" Hurvy screamed.

"TWO."

"Run like a cheetah, Carlo! Run!" Yu shouted.

"AND..."

"Nooo!" Out of nowhere, Bryant jumped out infront of Carlo to save us.

*gunshot*

"Aaa... ugh.. I.." Bryant was shot at his forehead and fell on the grass, swimming on his own pool of blood.

"NO ONE MOOOOVE! OR ELSE I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" Jane reminded us again. "Any last words Bryant?" She snickered.

"Bryant!" Eljin shook him hard. "Wake up!"

I did not care if I moved. One of us is dying now because of me. I don't care if Jane will shoot me.

Jane Wright aimed at me and pulled the triger but there was no more bullet on her Colt Model 1903 pocket hamerless .32 .380 ACP pistol anymore.

She panicked and looked for a refill in her Gucci bag but she has none. "This is so LAAAAME!"

So, she escaped... like a cheetah.

Everyone is now free to move.

"Eljin!!!" Alab, Hurvy and Carlo tried to comfort me.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes."

"Are you fine, bro?" Alab asked Hurvy.

"Yeah." Hurvy replied and they both shaked hands as a sign of their friendship.

"Guys, *coughs* I'm dying h-here... remember?"  Bryant called.

"To the clinic!" Hurvy pointed to the South.

"It's fine if I die. I... I just n-need to... say s-something to Carlo." He stuttered while his forehead is bleeding rapidly.

"To the clinic!" Hurvy shouted again.

"Shush! Carlo, come here! He's going to say something to you!" I convoked him.

"What Bryant?" Carlo asked as he kneeled down beside him.

Bryant began to speak.

"I... I... I love you, Carlo."
