That's What I Thought | s.m

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Shawn Mendes.
"Andrew!" i screamed and ran over to him, i crouched by his side and placed my shirt over his wound, "You bitch! Look what you've done!"

"She's gone boss," Matt told me, crouching down beside me and replacing my blood-saturated shirt with his

"Don't just stand there! go get them!" i yelled at the rest of the group, "Just hang in there Andrew, the ambulance are on their way," i reassured him, using a cloth to wipe the sweat from his forehead

"They've left the premises boss, they're gone." Harriet told me, placing her gun back in her pocket before taking out her phone and calling Ian. The phone rang as he picked up, "Ian, we need you in here now, Andrew needs you," hanging up, she put her phone on the table and grabbed another cloth, replacing Matts shirt, she put pressure onto the wound as i continued to wipe his forehead

"If i don't make it..." Andrew trailed off, his voice hoarse

"No, don't, don't say that, you're going to make it," i reassured him

"But if i don't, please don't let Melody slip away, she loves you Shawn," he smiled before looking over at Harriet, who's eyes were filled with tears as they fell down her cheeks, "and i love you, Harriet, always have, always will, don't forget that," using all the strength he had left, he placed his hand on her cheek, wiping her tears away

"I love you too," she sobbed, leaning down to kiss him, "you're gonna get through this, i have faith in you,"

"I know you do," he smiled bringing his hand back down to his side

"Move out of the way the ambulance are here," Ian shouted as he darted in, with the emergency services behind him, "You're gonna make it Andrew, i know it,"

"I hope so..." Andrew breathed, before his eyes began to shut

"No! Stay with me! Don't go! Andrew!" Harriet pleaded, her tears streaming down her face like a river, "i love you so much please, don't leave me," she held his hand in hers as he opened his eyes to look at her

"I love you too, if i don't make it, i want you to be happy, to live the life you were destined to live. happy. don't mourn me the rest of your life, find somebody else, have kids, build a family. please don't throw all that away because of me," he brought her hand to his lips and kissed it before he was brought onto a stretcher and rolled out

"They'll pay for this Andrew, mark my words." i shouted after him, "Go with him to the hospital, i'm going to find them." i seethed, i was positive that steam was emerging from my ears as i snatched the keys off the counter and grabbed a hoodie from the coat rack to cover my now shirtless upper half. Throwing the hoodie over my head, I began to walk to my car, my fists clenched as i opened the back door of the warehouse and made my way out onto the driveway

"Shawn!" Melody's voice startled me as i spun round to meet her worried expression, "You're okay! I was so scared something had happened to you, Alex said she'd done something to you, i don't know what i would have done, and before you get mad i know you told me to stay home but-" i cut her off by smashing my lips against hers, i was so glad to have her here, even if it wasn't what i'd originally planned

"It's okay, i'm happy you're here," i smiled at her, my anger softening as i continued to look at her beautifully defined features

"What happened? Shit, Andrew. Is he going to be okay?" she asked, taking a hold of my hand and holding it in hers

"Your parents happened, and i'm not sure, i fucking hope so or i will rip those bastards to pieces!" i threatened, her hand never leaving mine

"They are not my parents. I refuse to call them that. They abandoned me. They're monsters and i will never want anything to do with them!" she stated, her face filled with sadness and anger

"Wait. You mentioned Alex before. What was she doing at my-...our house?" i took my hand from hers and took my phone from my pocket

"She was threatening me, telling me she was going to kill me if i didn't give up my parents' hiding spot." she began shaking, i opened my car and grabbed my hoodie from the backseat, stopping as i heard a small beeping sound going off in the boot

"What is that?" i whispered to myself

"Shawn did you hear any of what i just said?" i ignored her as i approached the boot of the car with caution. "What are you doing? is everything okay?" i gestured for her to be quiet as i opened the boot slowly, catching sight of a wired object hidden underneath a couple of my bags, panic overcame my body. A bomb.

00.00.05..

00.00.04..

"We've gotta get out of here! Run!" i screamed grabbing her hand and running as fast as i could away from the car before it blew up into a flaming sea of fire.

I flew through the air and landed on the ground with immense impact, my pain being the only thing I could process before blacking out, not knowing if Melody had even made it out alive.
