Miracle

(16) Again

Aaron's P.O.V

I couldn't stop the thought of that man touching someone so innocent. Kinsey did nothing wrong and that thought ran through his damn head.

The scene hurt me more than I thought it would have. But then it all came together.

Her blonde hair and dark brown eyes appeared into my sight. Her laughter and joy spread throughout my head. Then, the hate and fear took over pushing me over the edge.

When I finally pulled off of the guy he was definitely unconscious. Better yet, he was dead.

I fell backward looking at what I had just done. Again.

I shook everything in my head out as I heard the screams of my Firefly.

The shot of a gun echoed through my head, and I realized that was her. Someone shot her.

I jumped up off the floor and leaned over the guy spitting on him before running down the wooden steps. She was laying on the dirty floor covered in her own blood.

"Please help me" she cried. Those words stabbed me right in the heart. I looked around not sure of what to do before diving down to her and placing my hand on the gunshot wound.

"I got you" I whispered to her.

Flashback

"Don't worry. I got you, I promise"

"Please don't let this be the end for me. Aaron, I can't leave you. Not like she did"

"I got you. I promise"

"Thank you"

"You're welcome"

End of flashback

Everything from my past rushed through my body causing me to forget what to do and how to do it. But my first instinct was to say those three words.

Those three words that caused me the pain I was in for so long.

But this, this was different.

My firefly. The one that immediately cheers me up when she walks through the room. The one that can talk my leg off about ridiculous things, like frog legs or wizards. The one that I had already fallen in love with before I even talked to her.

The one that holds me on this earth even though she doesn't know it. She's my everything, even though today was our first full day with a label, I've felt these things for the past month. The month that I realized I couldn't live without her.

You know when you sound crazy by saying something and people call you out on it and make you feel stupid? Well, that's me right now. I know it sounds stupid, but she makes me the happiest person on this earth.

She was willing to let me in and here we sit, my hand on hers while pushing on a severe injury. Both covered in her blood, but manage to keep each other calm. I don't know what I would do without her. I don't know how I would survive without that beautiful smile and that dashing face. So this time, I will keep my promise and make sure she stays alive. Even though I didn't promise her, I did in my head.

As soon as the police and ambulance showed up we rushed into the back of the ambulance and to the hospital, we went.

On the way of climbing in the back of the ambulance, I threw Kinsey my keys and told her to go straight to the kids then straight to the hospital. Right then, I could have cared less about how young she was and how she had no idea how to drive. I was just focused on this little firefly that is practically dying.

On the way to the hospital, I couldn't have prayed anymore that she would be okay and we could live happily forever.

Here I go again...

Scientists say it only takes 3 seconds to fall in love and surely that has happened to me.

Maybe it only took 1 glance and I was begging her to be mine.

Only in my mind though. I don't have the actual balls to do that.

I looked up at her face and she was becoming pale. The shirt she had worn today was cut off and thrown to the side. Any man would sit here and check her out but, her being practically shirtless didn't even click into my head.

I grabbed her hand and rubbed my fingers over her knuckles, "my beautiful firefly. Don't do this to me, I can't have another loss or me, myself, will be a loss too. This cannot be the first and last day of our label. You hear me? Don't you dare think about giving up or we are gonna have some words. You hear me? I swear Miracle you cannot leave me. You're already my everything. I can't lose you" by then I was bawling my eyes out. The lady who was now holding her wound looked at me with sympathetic eyes.

"I love you" I whispered kissing her pale cheek, "I love you so much"

My shaky hands gripped hers tightly. The light-filled Firefly I knew was not shining. Her light was not on and it was hurting me, it was hurting me bad.

Words can't even explain how bad it hurt. I don't even know how to explain how upset and hurt my heart is. This is happening all over again. It's like the same thing had happened to me before.

Because it has.

"Oh my god" I rested my head on her arm and let out a sob. "I can't do this. Not again"

There I sat in the back of an ambulance sobbing, for the second time in my life.

"Please help her, Andria. Oh my God, please help her"

Fear escaped me as we pulled up to the hospital. It was like I had just got told that she was going to make it no matter what. They immediately pulled her out of the ambulance and off she went into the emergency room.

I watched as she was taken away from me. But part of me just knew, it just knew she was going to be perfectly fine.
