I had planned this entire thing out, I even got somebody to light the candles. I knew she would get hungry so I brought food. With her, it's the little things that count.
We danced and I twirled her, she was so beautiful. When she fell I thought for sure she would kiss me, but she kissed my nose then stood up.
I packed everything up and we walked to the gate. When I opened it, she gasped and she thanked me. I said goodbye and we both stood there awkwardly.
Something about the candle light dancing on her skin, and the twinkle in her eyes, made me do it. I leaned down and picked her lips.
I realized what I had done and I pulled away quickly, I just turned and ran away. I was a coward, scared of rejection. So I ran.

I made it home, blowing the candles out so a fire didn't start. I walked up stairs and plopped down on my bed. Sometime, lost in my thoughts, I fell asleep.
I woke up to the sound of my phone going crazy. I just turn it off and sit up. I look in the mirror and cringe, I look terrible because my make-up was still on from last night.
I took a shower and got dressed for work. I pulled my hair into a side braid and grabbed my bag and phone.
I drove to work and Morgan instantly set me to work in the coolers. I was stocking soda when I heard the door open and shouting start.
I peeked through the shelves and I saw a man, maybe 19, yelling at Morgan. I was about to go out until he pulled a gun.
He was still shouting stuff at Morgan and she's crying. I pulled out my phone and dialed 911. It rang and a person picked up.
"This 911, what's your emergency?" she asks in a calm manner. "I'm at work in the cooler and a man is holding a gun to my co-worker! Help me!" I said, maybe a little too loud.
The man turned and looked towards the coolers. He grabbed a handful of Morgan's hair and drug her towards the cooler.
"Ma'm what's your location?" she asks frantically. "Jonas Gasstation! The man he's coming for me, hurry!" I whisper and the call goes dead.
He opens the door and yells, "Are you in here? Come out come out," he says and walks further in the cooler. He moves further down almost to where I am.
I scoot under a rack and slowly move boxes in front of me. He walks in still dragging Morgan and shes screaming.
She stops as he slaps her, he moves and passes me. Morgan opens her eyes and sees me. I put my finger to my lips to hush her.
She whimpers and he squats down by her. "Where is she?" he growls. My foot slipped and made a shuffling noise and his head jerked towards me.
He kicked the boxes out of the way, and he grinned evilly at the sight of me. "Ah, there you are," he says in a dark voice.
"Can't have witnesses can I now," he says and aims the gun at me. He puts his finger on the trigger and I have tears rushing down my face.
It had been a normal day, I woke up, not expecting to have a gun pointed at me. I squeezed my eyes shut and waited for it.
I heard a yelp then the gun. I felt the bullet hit my stomach and I screamed in pain. I opened my eyes and I saw Morgan struggling to get free. She kept kicking him but he still had a handful of her hair.
I clutched my stomach and kept screaming. I heard the door git kicked open and yelling start. "Police! Put down the weapon!" the cops said barging in.
The man dropped his gun and the police took Morgan away from him. She hugged onto a young police officer and pointed to where I was, clutching my stomach and crying.
I had blood all over my hand and I have black spots in my vision. Paramedics rushed in and put me on a stretcher.
"Ma'm I need you to stay awake. Take deep breaths, just talk to me," the girl says. I nod. "What happened?" she asked while helping my morphine drip.
"The guy. Pulled gun. Shot me." I said wheezing. Her face went pale at the sound of my voice. "Hurry up! It punctured her lung!" she shouts at the driver.
I try to breath but a burning sensation rushes through my body and I cry harder. I can't breathe and my vision is growing darker.
"Open the door!" The girl yells and the door is flung open and I'm rushed into the hospital. I'm set down on a surgery table.
A doctor came in and gave me a shot. The last thing I remember is the sound of my heart monitor going insane and the doctor yelling things I couldn't understand.
