Phoebe's POV
The doorknob twisted and Braxton and I turned to look at it. I'm glad it was locked.
"Phoebe open the door." one of Alvin's men said.
"I'm going to go hide behind the door. I want you to open it and try to keep your eyes off me." Braxton whispered.
I nodded. Braxton backed up behind the door and I unlocked it.
"Phoebe are you alright?" he asked.
"I'm fine." I said.
Out of the corner of my eye I could see Braxton sneaking upon him. Braxton put the gun to the man's head.
"Wh...what's going on?" he asked.
"I'm going to tell you what's going to happen. She's going to take your gun and the three of us are going to leave out of here. You're going to call off your buddies and the two of us are going to escape. Got that?" Braxton said.
"Ye...yeah."
I took his gun from him and we left out. I stood as close to Braxton as I could.
"What's going on here?" another person asked. "Let him go."
"Move or I'll shoot him." Braxton said.
"Try."
Braxton cocked the gun and shot. Did he really just shoot that guy?
"Why'd you shoot him?"
Wait he shot the other guy?
"I'm not stupid enough to kill my shield. Now keep going." Braxton said.
I heard people rushing upstairs.
"Phoebe get in here." Braxton said opening a door to another bedroom.
"Be careful." I said.
"I will I promise."
I got in the bedroom and locked it. In the next instant I heard gunshots. I have no idea how many there were but they were one after another. After awhile they stopped. I started to open the door when I heard a voice.
"So you came back?" Alvin asked.
"I came save my girlfriend from you." Braxton said.
"Silly little boy. Don't you know you can't win against me. Phoebe's mine. She's never going back to you so give up and go home."
"Over my dead body."
"That can be arranged."
What is Alvin talking about. Don't tell me he's really going to...? I heard another gunshot.
"Why'd...you..."
"Because Phoebe belongs to me and no one's taking her away from me."
"You're...gonna...pay...for...that."
Braxton's breath was raspy. Did Alvin really shoot Braxton?
"You can barely talk. Just let me put you out of your misery now." Alvin said.
"If...you...kill...me...Phoebe'll...never...forgive...you." Braxton said.
"I'm sure she'll get over it."
No I won't I'll never forgive him if he kills Braxton. I heard a gun cock. No! I fixed the gun Steve had gave me and opened the door pointing it at Alvin.
"Phoebe baby what are you doing with that gun?" Alvin asked.
I know Braxton wanted to look back at me but he didn't dare take his eyes off Alvin.
"Put the gun down I can handle this." he said.
"No." I said.
"What?"
"I'm not letting you shoot him."
"What? O I see you want to kill him yourself."
"I'm not killing him either."
"Fine." he said then cocked his gun again. "I'll do it."
I somehow managed to get in front of Braxton and shot Alvin. I kept shooting until I was out of bullets. He fell to the floor and I looked at him. I checked for a heartbeat but didn't find any. I turned towards Braxton.
"It's over. He's dead." I said.
Braxton smiled before falling to the floor. I rushed over to him and put his head in my lap.
"Braxton. Braxton." I said.
"Phoebe I love you and our sons." he said.
"We love you too." I said with tears in my eyes.
He closed his eyes and his body went limp.
"No. Braxton stay with me. I need you. The boys need you." I said.
He didn't respond. I noticed a huge red blood spot on his right side and it was only getting bigger. His phone was ringing. I pulled it out of his pocket and answered it.
"Hello." I said.
"Hey son what happened?"
It was his dad.
"Dennis Braxton fainted and he's not waking up." I said in a panic.
"Phoebe don't worry we're on our way. What's the adress?" he said.
I told him then hung up.
"Helps on the way." I said before passing out myself.
