Chapter Fifteen: "This Time, I Succeeded"

Ethan unties me and I engulf him in a big hug. I wince and grab my side. Will and Ethan both look at me with concern. I show them my hand covered in blood. I try to walk toward Will but I fall. He catches me and Ethan calls for the paramedics. Some officers take Jackson to a police car pushing him down onto the head of the car, searching for other weapons. The paramedics lift me onto a gurney and begin to take me over to the ambulance. I look over and see Jackson elbow the officer in the face and break away. As he lunges at Ethan, I grab the gun from the officer's holster and shoot it directly at Jackson. This time, I succeed. Jackson drops to the ground, his head skimmed, and blood pouring out. I collapse on the gurney and let the gun drop out of my hand. I stare at the dead body on the floor. It's over. Ethan is ushered away from Jackson. He and Will both come over to me. The paramedics ask if they want to join me in the ambulance. They nod and feel myself beginning to faint.

I wake up in a hospital bed. Ethan, Will, and my parents gathered around me. Wearing a hospital gown and my torso wrapped. My mom looks at me with pure rage in her eyes.

"Emma I have never been more disappointed in you. That was the stupidest idea anyone has ever had," she screams at me.

"Darling calm down, she was just stabbed," my dad exclaims.

"If I hadn't done it, more people could've died. Maybe even you. Now please leave. Your presence annoys me."

She gasps and put her hand over her non-existent heart. She tries to lunge at me but Ethan steps in the way. Our dad drags her out as she screams at me. The door closes behind them, leaving me alone with Ethan and Will.

"How come she loves you but she hates me?" I ask Ethan. He shrugs, both of them laughing. Will stops and looks at me with a concerned smile.

"Are you going to be alright?" Will brushes my hair out of my face.

"Yeah, I'm going to be alright."
