Part 11 - Wounded

Cash pulled me along to the meet and greet by the pool. "Come on, Raine." He urged.

"I just woke up, Cash, cut me some slack." I whined, rubbing an eye.

"Oh, we should've gotten to bed sooner." Cash gave me a weak smile.

"It's fine." I mumbled. I think Cash chuckled.

"Cash Baker!" Fans squealed, wishing him a happy birthday as well. I'd already done so today. I had some fans of my own come over to me. I gave them hugs, recorded Tik Toks, and took pictures.

"Can I get some pictures of you with Cash?" A young girl asked. She has a high quality camera in her hands. This is the first time anyone has asked for Cash and I together.

"Do you mind me asking why? I mean, you aren't going to go nuts that I'm potentially stealing your man?" I inquired, genuinely shocked.

"I like Cash, yes, but I understand that I'm not his girl. Besides, my boyfriend is currently meeting Zephan and Cody. I also think that you're really cute together." She explained to me.

"Okay. Thanks. Just let me snag the boy." I turned and grabbed Cash by the collar of his shirt then pulled.

"Hey!" Cash exclaimed. I gave him a smile.

"She wants a picture of us." I told him. He softly nodded.

"Multiple, actually. I want to make an edit." She corrected me. Cash and I did different poses for her. She thanked us then left to see Cody and Zoe.

"Nobody ever wants pictures of us." Cash mumbled in my ear. "I don't know why."

"Because I am your girlfriend and they're not." I answered.

"Are you getting hate? You said-"

"No, I'm not getting hate, Cash." I cut him off. I looked around at our friends. Zoe is rubbing her temples, seeming to be getting a headache. "Sing something. Your voice usually shuts everyone up." Cash told me.

"Okay." Cash guided me over to a table. I easily climbed on top of it. "What should I sing?" He shrugged. An idea came to my mind. I cleared my throat then pulled Cash up. He looked at me with confusion. I started singing before he could ask.

You know just what to say
Shit, that scares me, I should just walk away
But I can't move my feet
The more that I know you, the more I want to
Something inside me's changed
I was so much younger yesterday, oh

I didn't know that I was starving till I tasted you
Don't need no butterflies when you give me the whole damn zoo
By the way, by the way, you do things to my body
I didn't know that I was starving till I tasted you

By the way, by the way, you do things to my body
I didn't know that I was starving till I tasted you

You know just how to make my heart beat faster
Emotional earthquake, bring on disaster
You hit me head-on, got me weak in my knees
Yeah, something inside me's changed
I was so much younger yesterday, ye-eah
So much younger yesterday, oh, yeah

I didn't know that I was starving till I tasted you
Don't need no butterflies when you give me the whole damn zoo
By the way, by the way, you do things to my body
I didn't know that I was starving till I tasted you

By the way, by the way, you do things to my body
I didn't know that I was starving till I tasted you

You, yeah, till I tasted you
(I didn't know that I-I didn't know that I-till I tasted you)
By the way, by the way, you do things to my body
I didn't know that I was starving till I tasted you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
The more that I know you, the more I want to
Something inside me's changed
I was so much younger yesterday

The place did indeed quiet down. Zoe had an extremely thankful look on her face. The eyes on me abled Cody to get Zoe away without being bombarded. Everyone clapped for me. "I think your points just went up." Cash whispered, taking my hand. I grinned.

Then it happened. A perfect moment came crashing down on me. First I heard the whistle, next came the ticking, and the explosion finished it. I felt my hand fall from Cash's. I reached for something to stop myself, but my hands never touched anything. Then came the blasts, followed by the pain in my body.

"Raine!" I heard someone yell. Maverick skid to my side. I shook my head, pointing to where Cash stood.

"Raine!" I heard Cash scream.

"Get him out of here." I ordered Maverick with a tight voice.

"What about you?" Maverick whispered, panic in his eyes. "You can't run this time, Raine."

"Forget me. If I don't make it..."

"Don't talk like that." He growled.

"Just tell him I'm dead." I hissed. "Now go, before another one comes." I pushed Maverick. He reluctantly left, going for Cash.

"I'm not leaving without her!" Cash's voice screamed.

"We have to leave, Cash. There's no choice here." Maverick argued. "She- She..." Come on Maverick, say it. "She'll be okay." A groan left my lips. I clutched my phone in my hand, dialing the number of the nearest agency. I slowly raised the phone to my ear.

"Agent Raine Willson is down." I whispered.

"Oh, no you're not." Someone said. I looked up, barely able to see. Zephan and Mychael easily picked me up. Zephan carried me while Mychael made the call.

"Stay with us, Raine." He whispered. "Mychael, let's go!" They took off running to the resort. My eyelids grew heavy. "Come on, Raine." Zephan urged. "Stay awake for us. For Cash."

"I... I..." I stumbled. "I can't." Then my world went black. The struggle ended and I was sure I was dead.

That's part eleven! If you can't tell, I like drama.

By the way; Raine's last name is Willson so if it written as something anywhere else, tell me please?

Peace.
Love.
Out.
