Act Like You Don't Know

Alive

"Jen.."
"Gray what in the hell is happening?"
"You have to trust Shawn. He means you no harm"
"Gray he kidnapped me"
"It's because.."
The door suddenly opens as I see a familiar face coming in.

SHAWN'S POV

I love her. And that's why I did this.
My past made me. I had no choice.
Cam threatened to kill her if I didn't proove that I moved on from her.
The thing is, being in a gang does this to a person. I never wanted this life. But it just happened and still no one knows about it.
"Nash" I hear Cameron yelling.
"Yeah" Nash answers.
"Go get Jen and that idiot"
"Right away"
What's he thinking about doing. I can't let him hurt her or even Grayson. He's here because of me after all. I acted like I kidnapped him so he can tell Jen the truth while they're alone. So she knows I didn't have a choice.
I see Nash walking to the room. He opens the door.

JEN'S POV

I know him. He's Nash, Nash Grier. He came in, his blue eyes shining through the darkness in the room.
"Just go with it" Gray whispers "everything is going to be alright"
God knows I hope so.
Nash holds me by my hands and drags me behind him. He makes me stand outside the room and then goes back to get Gray.
I was in the darkness for so long the light is burning my eyes.

SHAWN'S POV

There she is. Looking flawless like always.
I'm so scared Cam is going to break his promise by hurting her.
She looks at me with her eyes half closed. The light clearly hurting her as to how many hours she spent in that room.
"Jen" Cameron says. Looking at her while Nash makes her stand in front of him.
"Asshole" Jen says. I can't help but shuckle as to how strong she always is.
She gives me this sad look. I didn't notice how her eyes were full of tears.

JEN'S POV

He shuckles. He freacking shuckles like this is a joke to him.
"Well, I see you still have your sense of humour" Cameron says.
I don't reply.
"Hey Shawn. I don't remember asking you to bring that guy with her." He stares at Shawn pointing the gun towards Gray.
"I thought he might be good for us"
"Well he's not"
*Gunshot*

"NOOO"Shawn screams.
It doesn't hit Gray. Nor Shawn.
The shot hits me. Right in my chest.
You know I never thought about how I would die. Never thought it would be by taking a bullet for my friend.
I can't see anything. I can't feel anything.

GRAY'S POV

JEN NOOO.
Why did she do that. That bullet was meant for me. Me not her.
I pick her up in my hands as I see Cameron running towards the exist while Shawn holds Nash.
"I'm taking her to the hospital"
"Go. I'll take care of this one" he says.
I put her in the backseat of one the cars outside and drive to the hospital. At full speed.

SHAWN'S POV

This is all my fault. Everything. Jen is hurt, Cameron ran away and Nash is now bleeding. I couldn't help myself. I shot him with the same gun Cameron shot Jen with.
"I'm sorry Nash"
I'm not going to let Cameron get away with this. Even if it means that I would lose Jen. But at least I'll know she's safe.
I have to see her one more time.

JEN'S POV

I can hear everything. I can hear Grayson talking to Ethan on the phone.
"I'm going to the hospital right now Ethan meet me there"
I wonder what Ethan is thinking about right now.
Is he worried? Or scared? I don't want him to be.
"C'mon Jen. Stay with me babe"
Babe.
That sounds nice.
I don't want to die. I want to grow older, fall in love, get married, have kids, have a family. I want to make breakfast for my husband every morning. I want to wake up to his sweet voice telling me "I love you".
I want to live.

I can't feel a thing but I hear the doctors shouting and screaming to each other. Hours seem to pass before I hear someone else's voice.
Shawn's voice.
"How is she?" He asks.
"They took the bullet out but she's in a coma" Grayson says.
I'm in a coma?
"Can I have a moment alone with her please?" Shawn asks.
"Of course"

SHAWN'S POV

"Hey Jen. I don't know if you can hear me but I need to tell you this.
I'm leaving. I won't let Cameron get aways with what he has done to you. I have to keep you safe.
I still love you. More than life itself. I hope that someday you'll be able to forgive me"

JEN'S POV

"...forgive me"
I can't cry. But right now my heart is bleeding. My body is on fire. I want to move. I want to hug him and tell him I love him too and that I forgive him from the bottom of my heart. But I can't no matter how hard I try.
He continues
"Maybe if we met in a different life, different circumstances... I would have proposed by now...."

Whill Jen be able to move again? And will she ever see Shawn one more time?
How will Ethan react when he sees her like this?
Until the next chapter!
I really hope you guys liked this one.❤
PEACE🤘
