Eliza~

We were watching the news when all of a sudden my phone rang.  I looked at the caller ID and saw Haseyboo…what?

I motioned Nash and Will to come over and I answered it and put it on speakerphone, “Hello?”

“Long time, no see Eliza.”  Shawn.  I heard struggling in the background and a hoarse voice growling something, that must me Hayes.

“Shawn?”

“Good to see you remembered my name.  So how’s life without Hayes?”

“What did you do to him?”

“Nothing too bad, yet.  He’s banged up a bit but I’ll do much worse unless you come out to the dorm parking lot right now.”

“Fine, I’ll be out in a second.”

“Good, I’ll see you soon.”

He hung up and Nash, Will, and I walked outside and into the parking lot.

The first thing we saw was a crazed looking Shawn smiling and holding a beat up and weak looking Hayes in a headlock.  And a gun.

He was holding a gun up to Hayes’s head.  All of our eyes went wide at the gun.  Oh no.

Shawn smiled menacingly, “Did you miss me?” 

“What do you want Shawn?”

“A trade.”

“What kind of trade?”

“It’s simple, you get Hayes…”

“There’s gotta be a catch.”

“Oh there is.  You get Hayes, and I get you.”

“Eliza no!  Don’t do it!”  Hayes shouted.  It sounded more like he was whispering, his voice was that weak.

I turned around and saw Nash and Will on the phone with police and soon enough sirens were heard in the distance, getting closer.

“It’s now or never, Eliza.  What is your choice?”

I ran over to them and ripped Hayes out of Shawn’s grip.  Shawn smiled, “good choice, but I don’t keep promises.”  He aimed the gun at Hayes and pulled the trigger, but I jumped in front.

A ripping pain shot through me and my body went limp as the world faded to black and I heard, “ELIZA NO!!!”  Before darkness took over.
