Adopted (a Fall Out Boy/Pete Wentz fan fic)

Chapter 33

Ryan's pov

I instantly raced to Brandie's side. She passed out and was on the ground. I heard foot steps and I kissed Brandie's forehead saying,

"Don't die on me. Please don't I need you. You're like my sister. Please." Her breathing was hallow and coming in short breaths. I buried my face in her shoulder and whispering,

"You're strong Brandie. Don't die, That'll only mean that your mom won. That the drugs won. You won't get a chance to make her go to rehab. To help her." I also placed my hands over her stomach were she was shot. I heard yelling and Pete yell,

"Let me in! What the fuck happened to my sister!?"

A calmer but still freaked out Patrick replied, "Pete calm down. I'm sure she's okay!"

Pete yelled louder this time, "Then why is the one the ground bleeding!?"

"I don't know! Pete calm down! Getting upset isn't gonna help her!"

I moved and looked at Brandie's pale face. My hands were covered in her blood. Paramedics appeared and lifted her onto a stretcher. I just sat there frozen.

My best friend was dying. And I can't help her.

Brandie's pov

I couldn't open my eyes. And my body was numb with pain. All I could hear was the blood pounding in my ears. I wanted to open my eyes. I wanted to see and hear Patrick and Pete and Ryan. I wanted everyone I love to be around me. I want to know what's happening to me.

There was a burning in my lungs and suddenly I faded away.

Pete's pov

I was in the emergency room yelling at a doctor who refused to tell me anything that was happening to Brandie. As was Ryan and Patrick. Not to mention Ashlee when she could talk and everyone else.

A different doctor came out and sighed, "Everyone calm down! Brandie's going to be okay. She's in emergency surgery and we're removing bullet fragments and we're also fixing her ankle. She'll be able to go to the Academy for the Olympics in about 3 days. She'll be recovered from the surgery by them. She's lucky too. The bullet just missed her kidneys." She's gonna be okay. She's gonna live. But she's leaving us in 3 days. 3 days.
