Downtown (Foster the People Fanfic)

Too Soon

We sat on the couch and watched TV. The guys came over and asked us what we wanted to do. I shrugged my shoulders and looked around the place. They all looked at me odd and then looked at each other.

"Well since it was your birthday yesterday, you get to pick where we go." Ponsi suggested and pointed towards me. I chuckled and kept looking around the room.

"Well... How about the mural? I haven't been there in a while." They all laughed at me. What?

"We were gonna go there later, because we have a concert there tonight." I started smiling and jumped on Mark.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" I laughed and punched his shoulder while hugging him. He was gasping for air as I held onto him and kept hugging him. The guys tried to pry me off but I was stuck on him. It would be my first ever concert for them! Considering I missed their last one about two years ago anyways... But then I finally let go of Mark as he gasped for air and laughed. I was like... Super happy.

"So where should we go in the mean time?" Isom asked, staring at all of us impatiently.

"It's about lunchtime." Ponsi suggested smiling, and jumping around happily. We all nodded our heads at him. I was starving considering I had a soggy bowl of cereal for breakfast. I let out a deep breath as I walked into the hallway with Mark and Cubbie. The others were behind, grabbing their things.

"It's good to be with you guys again." I smiled and walked backwards facing them both.

"Were happy to see you again also!" Cubbie smiled back at me and Mark. We both chuckled and started running down the hallway.

"Break into your cop powers now Cubbie!" I laughed while I sprinted down into the elevator. There were loud thumps behind me as I kept sprinting down the hall. Cubbie and Ponsi the "cops" were chasing after me I was guessing. It reminded me of the Don't stop music video so much it made me stumble from laughing. Something hard hit me in the stomach in the hallway. I fell sideways. I felt down and my stomach had blood covering my shirt. The floor was getting darker. Marks face soon was in mine. He was breathing on me and his eyes and cheeks were red. Ponsi and Cubbie were on the ground looking up. Isom, Sean, and Phil were looking out the door and down the hall at us. My body went limp into Marks arms. He was whispering into my ear frantically, but I couldn't understand him. A tiny moan came out as I tried to talk to him. He nodded his head for some reason and started jogging. Then when he reached the steps it all went black.

*MARK P.O.V.*

Her body went limp while I was carrying her downstairs. The guys raced after me from behind. Her blood was increasingly flowing outwards more onto me. It soon covered my arm. Ponsi came up to me and wrapped up her stomach wound with his jean jacket. We were all literally in the state of shock and terror. She could be dead in my arms right now. I thought to myself. It screamed through out my head. I was worried. But the most, I was scared. It felt like the world had defeated me.

I never deserved someone as good as her. She didn't deserve me most of all. I was too much of a jerk for her. If she were awake right now I bet that she would agree.

We got down into the lobby finally and I was sprinting towards the doors. Thank goodness cops and an ambulance were there. Two police officers ran and took her out of my hands. I ran after them and toward the ambulance. But they took her too quick for me to get in. All of the guys were behind me. There were tons of people looking at us. Some of them were fans crying. How did they know about this? There were no intentions of this happening at all!

I screamed to the sky and ran toward my car before anyone could talk to me. As I drove off the guys were left in the parking lot. Still shocked. I kept screaming out my lungs as I drove. I cursed an unbelievable amount. My fists turned white on the wheel as I clenched it. I was screaming so loud I couldn't hear the radio. That entire way there was pure worry and pain. My phone kept vibrating in my pocket. But I didn't bother to answer. My voice would be too shaky and full of pain.
