This Means War (Selene)(COMPLETED) 2 ✔️

Chapter Fifty-Five Pull The Trigger

Home- Phillip Phillips

     There is school tomorrow and I'm more nervous than ever. Why? Because I have Wesley in my last hour. And, even better, he sits next to me. I shake my head as I lay on the bed and stare up at my ceiling. I have two goodbyes done and three to go. My family. Gina. And then Dave. I'm thinking I could do Dave right now, or I could get up and go to my family and get that one over with. Or I could go to Gina's and hope she isn't with Jaxon and then tell her goodbye. In a way.

     I sigh before I hear a knock on the door but I don't move. Dave was out there anyway. He could get it. I pick up the gun next to me and the note with it. It was from Alex. He gave me a gun. As if I'd use it.

     'Protect yourself when I can't

-A'

     Was all it said. That's Alex for you. I sigh studying the gun and twirling it in my hands as I hear the door open. "Come in." Dave says in a low voice. As if he was trying to keep whoever was here a secret. He's doing a bad job. I already heard the knock.

     "You said it was important?" Wesley says in an annoyed voice. I sigh as I point the gun to my head, closing my eyes and put my finger on the trigger. How easy it would be just to end my life right here. I thought about it when I was falling from the sky too with Callie yesterday. About how easy it would be to just not open my parachute and splatter on the ground. How all of this would be over. But I didn't. I pulled the string to my parachute and lived. Yay me. Note the sarcasm.

     "Yeah, um." Dave starts as I hear him clear his throat but I don't open my eyes. He can do whatever he wants with Wesley. See if I care. I mean I do but... my hand suddenly starts shaking as I sigh and throw the gun on the bed, sitting up and looking at my shaking hand. I use my other hand to cover it up and try to stop it. I hear a throat clear again and I roll my eyes grabbing the gun again and holding the cold barrel in my hands. Why would Alex trust me with something I've never used before? I let out a sigh again.

     I trace my fingers along the gun before I see a button on the side and I push it. Narrowing my eyes, I push it back and forth. What does that do? See! I could accidentally shoot myself because Alex was stupid enough to trust me with a gun. I pick up the note again and re read it. How am I supposed to protect myself with something I don't know how to protect myself with? Dave clears his throat louder this time as I mutter under my breath standing up and walking around the bed to the window seeing Alex.

     He was leaning on my bike again and I roll my eyes opening my window. "How the hell am I supposed to use this thing?" I ask waving the gun around as people walk by and give me looks. Alex watches them before sending me a glare.

     "It's not a thing. It's a gun. And put the gun away before you accidentally shoot someone." He says.

     "What if I accidentally shoot myself?" I shout and he looks around again before shaking his head.

     "Alright I'm coming up there."

     "What no. I don't want you to. I just want to know how to work this thing."

     "Again it's not a thing. It's a gun."

     "Well here take it I don't want it anymore." I start to throw it out but he raises his hands.

     "Don't you dare throw that gun Selene!" He shouts shooting me a meaner glare.

     "Well then what am I supposed to do?" I growl waving the gun around again.

     "How about put the gun somewhere safe instead of waving it around like a crazy person."

     "I am a crazy person!" I shout as more people give me looks watching me wave the gun around.
