Because He Brought A Gun

Chapter 43.

Everything was dark. It was like I was awake but I wasn't. I couldn't move or open my eyes.

I was confused until I remembered. I got shot and I'm probably in the hospital dying. God, I hate hospitals.

I heard soft crying from my right side. I felt a hand intertwine with mine tightly. I knew instantly it was Chase. I wanted to so badly get up and hug him, kiss him and tell him I was okay even though I don't think I will be.

"Ace... God why.? Ace, please pull through. I know you can, you're so strong." Chase's voice cracked and was raspy. Had he been screaming.? Or maybe coughing from so much crying.?

I couldn't physically do anything and it sucked. I fucking hate it but I can't help it.

My mind wandered off to the first time Chase and I Kissed. I remember the soft touch of his lips on mine.

"Chase.?" A male voice said. It sounded like Jax.

"What.?" Chase sounded annoyed and irritated.

"The doctor just told us some news, he thought you might want to here it from a friend." Jax explained.

"Is she gonna be okay.?" He let go of my hand and I heard the sound of a chair screeching against the floor as he stood up.

"Chase... The doctor said she has a very very small chance of living. It would be a miracle if she woke up. I'm so sorry." Jax choked up a little bit.

"NO.! SHES NIT GOING TO DIE. SHE PROMISED ME.!" Chase shouted.

"Chase calm down, you're going to get kicked out." Jax attempted to calm him down but it only worked a little.

"She's going to wake up. I know she is." He sat back down and held my hand again.

I heard footsteps and I assumed Jax left.

"You're gonna wake up.... Right.?" He asked. I felt tears hit the skin in my hands.

I'm not sure if I will, and if I do.. It may only be a short period of time. Chase, I wish so badly that I could speak to you.

I never thought that I would end up falling in love. Falling in love with Chase. Going on these crazy adventures of crime. It was all worth it. It was all worth getting shot and lying here unable to move.

I put all my strength into moving my hand to intertwine my fingers with his. I tried so hard to, and I did. I moved my hand and held his.

"Ace.?" Chase perked up.

I took a big deep breath. I stopped trying and laid there for a moment, regaining my strength.

I put all my energy into opening my eyes.

"Ace, you're awake." Chase cried with a smile.

"Yeah... I guess I am." My voice was raspy and my mouth was dry.

"Here." Chase put a glass of water up to my mouth and I gratefully drank it.

"Chase, I heard everything you said." I smiled weakly.

"I love you, I love you so much." He was still crying. "I thought I was going to lose you."

"Never in a million years." I smiled and he leaned in and kissed me. The best kiss I have ever had.

And can you imagine.? That all of this happened Because He Brought A Gun.?

And that's the end. Hope you all enjoyed.!
