I Miss You

Richard

I woke up and I realized I was not in my own house. I looked around and realized I didn't recognize were I was. I got up and found a cellphone on the drawer. I looked on the phone and found a picture of a very injured Paul. I had then realized it was Arielle's phone. It was a picture I had never seen.

I went downstairs and noticed I recognized the house. I went to the office and found Arielle asleep at the desk. I moved her to the couch that was in the room. I found a blanket and covered her up with it. I made something to eat and sat down.

I wondered how I got here. I then went to my car that I had left here last night. I then got out my laptop. I signed up for some classes. I then heard a noise. I looked to find Arielle looking at me.

"Hi, Richard."

"Hi, Arielle."

"I want to ask you something. Would you please stay here for awhile."

"I guess."

Then I saw she wanted me to follow her. I did and I followed her to her room. She stopped infrount of the bed. I looked at what she was looking at. I looked down and saw a very injured person. I was about to say something and she put her finger over my mouth.

We went into the hallway. "What happened?" I asked.

"He was trying to protect you. You was drunk. Some people tried to beat you up. You walked in the middle of traffic. He saved you."

"He isn't dead?"

"No, the manager had blamed everything on Paul. He is here and  he keeps protecting you."

"I will watch him."

"Thank you."

I was doing my homework. I heard yelling. There was a lot of yelling. I got up.

"No, leave him alone. Please, leave him alone."

"Paul."

"No, don't."

I walked over to him. I picked him up and carried him to where I was working. I then just held him. So, much for my homework. Arielle walked into the room and looked at me.

"Nightmares, how long has had them?"

"Every night since he was kidnapped."

"Paul, can you hear me?"

"Arielle?"

"Yes, I am here."

I got up and laid him back in his bed. I felt horrible. I went back to my homework. My phone went off and I texted them.

Till, Alexx, Jaxx, Schneider, Oliver, and Flake walked into the room. I just did my homework in the corner. I was happy to hear him talking.

"We are glad your ok Paul."

"Thanks. Where is Richard?"

"He is here on the computer."

At that moment all the color drained from my face. I didn't want to read that. This is bad.

"Richard, what is wrong?" Asked Jaxx.

"Nothing."

The people who were after Paul and Pix escaped prison. I was worried how that would end for Paul. Paul was the main target.

Paul got better and went back to work. I moved in with them. It had been a year later and we moved to a bigger place. We were just about to hand in the keys to the old house. I had became a medic and no one but Jaxx knew. It was my first day and I got a call with Jaxx to a burning building.
We realized it was Paul's house. We only found Arielle.

I had to call Emil and Lili and they were ok. I then used my phone to track Paul's. I found he was in a abandoned building. I then went to talk to the police and they gave me what I needed. They followed me.

I made it to the building. I then walked in. I saw Paul tied to a chair. I then saw the guy who had him.

"Your too late."

He stood back and shot Paul twice. Then he shot me twice. Then he left.

I was wearing a Bullet proof vest. I also had my medic gear. I ran over to Paul and cut him loose. I picked him up and carried him out of the building. I then when out of the building and called for help. I laid him down and started to do my job. He was shot in the head. He was also shot in the abdomen. I knew this was bad.

I tried my best to do my job. I knew this was bad. I failed to protect him. A part of me died inside.
