Shattered By Broken Dreams (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 32

Brian's POV

I stood there shocked. It was definitely a gunshot.

Nosey neighbour. "Was that a gun?" She was freaking out.

I looked at her and nodded.

"The police are coming."

Good the police were coming but I couldn't wait for them, I couldn't hear Sophie anymore, I needed to get to her.

I kicked the door, I had to get in there.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Voice from inside.

Coming to rip your fucking head off, I thought kicking the door again. I felt it give a little.
BANG. Gunshot.

Fuck, what the fuck was he doing?

I kicked the door again and it flew open.

He was standing there waving his gun around.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I demanded.

He was just looking at me. I couldn't see Sophie, she was behind the couch.

"Don't fucking move."

"Fuck off." I walked towards him, I was going to kill him, it really wasn't negotiable at this point.

"Don't." He said, moving the gun. "I'll shoot her again."

I didn't stop. "You worthless piece of shit."

He hesitated and pointed the gun at me. "Fucking stop."

"Shoot me, I don't give a fuck." I was screaming and honestly I didn't give a fuck.

He leapt over the couch and headed for the door. "Tell that bitch that I'll be back." He left.

Fuck. I wanted to go after him, but Sophie.

Sophie. I went over to her, she was laying there not moving, bleeding and that prick had beat the shit out of her. Fuck.

"Soph." I knelt down beside her, fuck. "Sophie."

She moaned, thank god, I thought she was dead. I pulled her into my arms and I could hear sirens.

She opened her eye's and looked at me, well sort of opened them, they were swollen where he'd beaten her.

"Hey." I whispered, kissing her forehead.

Footsteps.

"Don't move, put your hands on your head."

Jesus, they thought I'd done this.

"Not him, the guy left." Nosey neighbour saves the day again.

"What have you got?" One of them asked approaching us.

I looked at him, was he serious? "Someone shot and beat shit out of my girlfriend." Was it not obvious?

"Paramedics are on the way."

I looked back at Sophie, her eyes were shut again, I looked her over, and the blood, so much of it.

"Hold on, they're coming." I pulled her closer to me, I couldn't lose her, I'd just found her.

I watched as the paramedics worked on her then loaded her onto a gurney, she wasn't moving and it scared me.

"You coming?" One of them asked.

I nodded. Of course I was, there was no way I was ever leaving her side again.
