Was it meant to be? (a Mingus Reedus love story)

Chapter forty seven

*racheal*

I checked for a pulse because i couldn't believe he was gone. He couldn't be. I placed two fingers on his wrist and that's when i felt it. It was really faint and i gasped. I yelled "Call an ambulance!! NOW!!" Everybody panicked but I seen my mom grabbing for my phone. She dialed and started talking to someone. The police officers came out and asked what was going on and Mingus told them. I just sat there next to Anthony hoping he would be ok. I couldn't lose him. I felt someone sit down next to me. I looked over to see Mingus he looked at me with sad eyes and i leaned in and kissed him. It had been forever since i had kissed him. I felt a little happier and i leaned back and Mingus grabbed my hand. He scooted over and put his arm around me and said "It's gonna be alright." I smiled and grabbed Anthonys hand. After a few minutes, paramedics came rushing in with a stretcher. They asked if anyone wanted to come and me, Mingus, and Norman all said yes. We walked out into the hallway an toward the ambulance. My mom said she would stay and watch the others and she told me to call her when i found out what was going to happen. I was still really worried about Anthony, his pulse is faint and i don't know how he would do with the ride to the hospital. I guess my worriedness was obvious because Norman an Mingus put both arms around me. I normally didn't like when people did that but i guess i needed the comfort. I started to cry a little but then i seen anthonys hand start to move toward his face. I stared as he rubbed his head and then open one of his eyes. He mumbled somethin but i couldn't hear it. When we reached the ambulance the paramedics put him in the back and me, mingus, and Norman got in the back with one of the paramedics. The paramedic sat down next to Anthony and said "We're gonna have to remove his shirt." The paramedic began to rip Anthony's shirt when he started to smile. I looked down at Anthony to see him wearing a black best underneath his shirt. I started to laugh and Norman and Mingus realized what was going on. Soon all 4 of us were laughing. He was wearing a bullet proof vest the whole time. The bullet went into the vest.
