Entertain My Faith // Adopted By Tyler Joseph

Chapter 5

Brendon's POV

I heard a gun go off and turned just in time to see the bullet pass Faith. I could see blood start to drip from her face. My heart was beating out of my chest. She looked at me, wide eyes. She stumbled a bit, then passed out, falling to the floor. It all happened very slowly. I remember screaming, I remember rushing towards Faith, tears rolling down my face. I hadn't known this girl for long but she's like a daughter to me. I remember looking out into the crowd, some people staying to see what happened, others rushing out. Many other crew members rushed to Faith. I could faintly hear someone calling the ambulance and others calling Tyler. I couldn't move. I stayed frozen, kneeling next to Faith as I grabbed her hand, still screaming.

And that's how I ended up in the waiting room of the ER with Tyler, Jenna, and Josh. Tyler was sobbing as Jenna hugged him. I sat in the chair next to Josh, holding my head in my hands, Josh doing the same. Finally, the doctor came out.

"Faith is doing good, she just passed out from shock. She can check out tomorrow morning. Since the bullet passed her ear, snipping off the tiniest bit, she's going to have hearing issues for a few days. But otherwise she's well, you can come to see her," the nice doctor said.

Faith's POV

I woke up to a bright light. Sitting up the first thing I noticed was the ache in my right ear and how I couldn't hear my hair flutter as I scratched my head. The second thing I noticed was the white room I was in and the doctor writing something on the clipboard attached to the end of my bed. The doctor smiled at me.

"Ah, you're awake," the doctor explained what was wrong with me then went out to get Tyler, Josh, Brendon, and Jenna.

They all came in and Tyler rushed over, crouching beside my bed.

"Oh, thank goodness you're ok! What happened?" Tyler said frantically.

"I, I don't know," I said realizing that I couldn't remember why my ear was throbbing and why I couldn't hear out of one ear. All I remembered was playing at the show and there was screaming.

"What, what did happen?" I asked looking at Brendon.

"Well, we were playing a song and someone shot at Faith. I, I don't know if they meant so miss her or is they meant to actually shoot her," Brendon said, close to tears. "It might've been Ryan," he added quietly. 

"Do you really think so?" I asked.

"It's definitely a possibility," Tyler chimed in.

At that moment my phone went off. I looked around at saw it sitting next to me. I picked it up and saw I had a message from Ryan. The message said, "Next time, it will hit you." Frightened, I showed the message to everyone. 

"It was definitely Ryan," Josh said. 

I looked at everyone, eyes wide and tears pouring out of my eyes. Then, my phone dinged again.
