Melrose • Dolan Twins

課 049

"Raine!" Michelle yelled as she ran over to where she was as fast as she could, pushing her as they dove to the floor, and covered Raine's body with her own, receiving the bullets herself.

Dominic stared in fear while his heart fell to the ground after witnessing the scene before him.

Ethan's eyes also saw what happened and burnt with rage. He clenched his jaw and aimed to shoot Ryan multiple times without hesitating.

Successfully he shot Ryan in the arm, but only once. And that was not enough to leave him defenseless.

Ryan cursed under his breath. Annoyed, he ran, simultanously aiming the gun at Ethan.

He pulled the trigger three times.

Ethan dodged and hid himself behind the wall.

Luke yelled loudly, before pulling out his assault rifle and aiming it towards the kings.

It launched multiple bullets, as he turned the gun from one side to another.

"Run!" He yelled as loud as he could.

Ethan picked Raine up and Dom did the same with Michelle, leaving Luke behind.

They knew he had sacrificed himself, for there was no other way of escaping.

So they ran out and got inside their cars, hitting the pedals with their foot as they drove far away from Melrose avenue.

Raine's breathing was slow, but deep. She stared blankly into thin air while her leg bled.

Beads of cold sweat rolled down her bleeding forehead.

"Don't die on me now Raine. Don't you dare fucking die on me now." Those were Ethan's last mumbled words before Raine fell unconscious.

Raine's POV

My eyes slowly opened, and squinted due to the rays of the sun, peeking into the room.

I blinked a few times, letting my eyes adjust to the brightness of the unfamiliar room I laid in.

The bed was unrecognizable too, and so were the rest of the stuff in the room.

Just as I was about to sit up, something pulled me back down.

I pulled the quilt off my body, examining the bandage wrapped around my thigh and realized I had been shot before. Last night.

That night.. The night Michelle and Luke sacrificed themselves. The night I had lost my sister.

I felt tears blurring my vision, as the scenes repeated in my head. Over and over again.

Anxiety ate me up alive, as I screamed in agony, placing both hands over my ears, hoping the voices in my head would shut up.

Then the door swang open. Ethan stood there. Eyes wide open. Fear and concern written all over his face.

"Raine!" He called and ran over to the bed, wrapping his arms around my weak body.

"Make it stop please, please make it stop" I cried on his chest.

He shushed me quietly and caressed my head softly, calming me down.

My cries became inaudible and my sobs were quiet then.

He helped me lay back down on the bed and rubbed my arms, flashing a small smile.

"I'm here. Don't worry" He reassured me.

I stayed quiet, as I felt him cup my face with both hands and wipe the tears away with his thumbs.

"Ethan" I sobbed.

"Yes?"

"How long have I been asleep?"

His face softened and his gaze fell to the ground, as if he hesitated on whether telling the truth or not.

"For two days, Raine"

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion, while I tried to put the pieces together, trying to remember as much as I could after the incident.

"But-"

"No buts. I'll go get you breakfast" He said.

"We'll talk later" He flashed another small smile before leaving the room.
