"Oh my" was the last thing I heard before the bitch fired the gun.
I turned my body towards the side hoping the bullet will hit me instead of Jackson. I waited for the pain, but I didn't feel anything. I turned my head towards Jessica and seen the gun being aimed not at me but at May. The bullet hit the wall next to May's head. Jackson started crying because of the loud noise. I rocked him back and forth hoping to quiet him.
"Why the hell are you shooting up my store?" asked May in a slightly pissed off voice. It was as if she was talking to a normal customer instead of a crazy woman with a gun.
"That's a warning shot for Arya. It means that if she doesn't come with me right now, I'm going to shoot you. This time I won't miss." she said with a cruel smile on her face.
"You leave Mrs. May out of this Jessica. She has nothing to do with your little game of revenge."
May moved closer to the counter and put the cake down. I seen her move her arm under the counter which meant she pressed the silent alarm for the cops. God I hope they show up soon I thought to myself. I just needed to distract her until they came.
"Jessica please put the gun down so you and I can talk for a minute"
"What do you take me for Arya? An idiot? Do you actually think I'm going to put my gun down so you and I can have a chat?" she asked with a sneer on her face.
"I was hoping you and I can talk a bit about Jason"
"What about him? He's going to be mine once I kill you and your precious boy here" she said aiming the gun at Jackson's head.
My heart started beating erratically from how scared I was of her harming Jackson. At the same time I was angry because she had the gun aimed at him. I slightly moved back away from her and the gun. I didn't want the gun anywhere near him. Instead the gun was aimed at my chest.
"Is poor little Arya afraid of her child being hurt?"
"Yes, who wouldn't be? Now you tell me Jessica. Were you upset when you lost your baby?"
"No I wasn't actually. I was kind of happy because that meant Jason and I could start over and have our own child, but then I find out that he's with you and he has twins. You had to go and ruin everything." she said looking crazed with her red hair and crazy eyes.
"You know your'e crazy right?" asked May behind the counter. "You need to put that gun down before you hurt that baby" she continued
"Mind your damn business old lady before I put a bullet in you"
"Harramph the nerve of some people" said May.
If I wasn't scared shitless right now I probably would have laughed. Just then we heard the sirens outside the bakery. Jessica turned her head towards the sound of the sirens. I moved back slowly towards the counter and handed Jackson to May. She took him and went towards the back, so she can go out the back way. I was just about to go around the counter when she yelled.
"Stop right there you bitch" and fired her gun into the ceiling.
I stopped and turned around but not before I made sure Mrs. May and Jackson escaped through the back. I sighed in relief that they're both safe at least.
"The cops are here Jessica. Don't make this any harder on yourself and just turn yourself in before you get into anymore trouble."
Her hands started shaking and I knew this wasn't going to end well. But, I wasn't going to go down without a fight. This was going to end today with either me or her dead I thought to myself.
I took my bag off of my shoulder and wrapped the purse strings around my hand and took a swing at the hand that she was holding the gun with. She stumbled back a bit and I took advantage of that and went to grab the gun from her but, she had a firm grip on it. We started playing tug of war with it. She lifted up her left hand and smacked me. My head went towards the side, I didn't let go of the gun though. I grabbed a fistful of her hair and started pulling on it hoping it would hurt her and at least loosen her grip on the gun. Jessica just yelled and yanked her head out of my grip leaving me holding half of her hair.
I stared at her in shock. She didn't even flinch or yell from any pain. If it was me I would be crying like a baby. When my hair tie gets stuck in my hair and I pull it out I start to tear up."You are really one psycho bitch jessica!" I yelled at her.
The gun was between us now. Then a shot was fired.
