The sound of gunshots cracked into the air as loud as thunder but without the raw power of a storm. In comparison they were tinny and small, coming from one direction only. Havoc raised in the bowling rink, panic clearly everyone's first emotion.Throughout all the commotion, a scream pierced the whole entire bowling rink. This scream wasn't any scream, it was the kind of scream that made your blood run cold. The scream came again, this time louder than the last. The blood drained from my face, once I recognized the person that was screaming.
"Amanda," I whispered.
My face fell faster than a leaf falling from a tree. In that instant my skin tightened, my mouth hung with lips slightly parted and my eyes were as wide as they could stretch. It was as if the world was moving in slow motion. My legs stood there, glued to the ground as I tried to remember how to breathe. Unable to speak, stunned at the events that just took place.
"Levi." I tried to call, pointing at Amanda in the process, still standing in the same spot. I tried to move but couldn't. From my line of vision, I watched as Levi ran to Amanda, trying to help her. For a second everything became inaudible, once the gunshots stopped.
I'm slapped back into reality by someone yelling my name. "Diana snap out of it!" He yelled. I blinked in shocked, trying to pull myself together. Levi's hand swiftly grabbed my wrist, pulling me toward Amanda. She laid there on the ground, blood pouring from different parts of her body. I quickly applied pressure to her wounds, trying to stop the bleeding.
"I don't want to die." She cries, spitting up blood. "Levi I don't want to die."
"Your gonna be okay, don't let go... stay with us," Levi says, tears falling from his eyes.
"We need to get her to a hospital now. I'm trying my best to stop the bleeding, but she's losing too much blood."
Levi nodded. "I'll grab her arms, you her legs."
