Just Innocently Killing

Twelve

"Did you even love Maria?" Alex asked. Peggy was caught off guard. "What made you assume that?" She asked with a shaky voice. "Well that you naturally threatened her. If you really loved someone, they wouldn't threatened the one they love." Alex said as everyone stared daggers at the brave yet stupid man. "I do love her. That's why we're gonna go elope. Right baby?" She asked and Maria was speechless. "Right?!?" She shouted aiming the gun at her girlfriend who could only nod with tears in her eyes. "You see, she wants to be with me." Alex shook his head and chuckled. "No she doesn't. She's terrified. She doesn't like that you are threatening to blow our brains out." Alex sighed sadly. "If you don't stop talking I'm gonna shoot you." She said darkly smiling with pure evil. "Oh wow I'm so scared." And with that she pulled the triggered.

Slow. That was how they described it. Everyone had a look of terror on their face. Alex closed his eyes and accepted his fate. Alex opened his eyes and saw Hercules attack her. He wasn't bleeding. He then looked down. John jumped in front of Alex and had been shot. He dropped down to his knees and pulled John to his lap. "Someone call the police!" Alex yelled feeling the back of his shoulder. "Anything Alex." There was no exit wound so that was good. "Nope there was only an entrance wound. It's still in his system." He announced as Hercules put Peggy to sleep. "Alex." John groaned squeezing his boyfriend's hand. "Yes John." Alex responded tying a scarf around his shoulder. "You're fucking stupid. B-buuut." John moaned midway. "I love you." He says sitting up. "I love you too." Alex paused. There were sirens and a knocking at the door. Lafayette ran to the door and opened it. The police came in along with the ambulance and they took John away, without Alex. Causing him to burst into tears. "ITS ALL MY FAULT." He screamed angrily as Lafayette held him. "No its not because if you didn't say anything, Maria would have been killed." Lafayette said trying to calm down.

"Who is the shooter?" The policeman asked. There tied to a chair Peggy had woken up and began to scream and and try to break free. Angelica sighed. "Guess who, oh and by the way, I took a recording." She tried to hand her phone to the officer but he pushed it back. "We'll use it later." She nodded her head and he went to go take Peggy to the station for questioning. Everyone but Alex is taken for questioning. Even Eliza, although she had to be driven there. Everyone there including Eliza were at the police station waiting to be next. Angelica was called up first.

"So you say you have evidence that it was her?" Angelica nodded her head and played the recording. "Okay, so we will confiscate your phone to get the recording. And we will call one of your speed dials to pick up your phone. It should take at least 24-48 hours." She smiled and was led out. One by one everyone went in telling a very similar story. By the end the detectives knew what to do. Charge her for the first degree of attempted murder.

Everyone went back to the house and soon finished packing. Even Alexander, although he got help from the rest of the gang including Eliza. Alexander was all settled in and needed to unpack. Which is what he did. Pretty much everyone helped each other move into their own places.

"So do we go eat first or do we see John?" Hercules asked as everyone looked over to him. "We could eat. I'm hungry and Eliza looks like she's hungry too." Everyone glanced over to see her looking down rubbing her belly. "Okay so let's go get some fast food and eat it on the way there or eat in the parking lot." Angelica suggested and everyone was okay with that idea. They found some burger place and ate some food. They went to the hospital where John had been placed and Alex had been super anxious to see his boyfriend.

A doctor came out as soon as the group walked into the hospital. "Is he okay?" Alexander asked as Angelica placed her soft tender hand on his shoulder. "Yes he's fine. But he's asleep. Although he should be waking up any minute now." The Doctor said looking down at his watch. "Can we see him?" Maria asked and the doctor nodded leading the group of young adults. Alexander noticed that the doctor had a scar on the side of his head. It had connected with his hairline. "Here ya go." The doctor announced as everyone walked in. Alexander took the chair next to John. Alex grabbed his cold hand and held it in his. "Do you think he will be mad?" Laf asked Alex which in response he shrugged his shoulders. Tears pricked Alexander's eyes and he felt a lump in his throat.

"I'm so sorry John."

I know this is a crap chapter.
