Glances and Chances

Chapter 11: Almost losing you

Zac's POV

Everything's a mess, I was lost and I couldn't feel nor think properly. Hurting Vanessa wasn't my intention. I was just so angry that I lost my mind and left her. I got back to my senses and I thought about what happened earlier. I should've left her. I got up and started driving back to Vanessa's House. While driving, a black van blocked my way. My car came to a screeching halt. Then two guys got out of the van and headed straight to my car's direction. They dragged me off the car. I tried to fight them but they forced me into the black van.

I screamed for someone to help me but no one could hear me. They started driving. Handcuffed my two wrists and put a sack over my head. They punched me hard in the stomach and that caused me to lose my consciousness. I woke up tied on the tree trunk. They take off the sack and I saw what they look like. They untied me and started punching and kicking my body. 

They dragged me to the highway and called 911. They yelped as if someone died. Then I watched in horror, as a guy pulled his gun and started filling with bullets. All I can feel is endless pain coming from my body. I screamed and screamed but no one rescued me. They just laugh hysterically, he pointed the gun on my stomach and shot me. 

So much pain is all I could feel. They drove away just in time as the ambulances and the cops arrived. Blood is coming out of my body. Tears started rolling down my cheeks. My life is almost to an end. My vision is blurring. My heart slowly pounded, like it's losing it's life source. Until my vision turned pitch black.

Vanessa's POV

I woke up in the couch with Ashley beside me. The scenes from earlier snapped back to me. Tears started to roll down my cheeks. I shook my head. This can't be happening. I thought to myself. I wanted to see him. Millions of questions came to my mind. Is he okay? Will he recover? I turned to Ashley. I want to see him. I said. She turned to me and nod her head. She contacted Dylan to ask which hospital Zac was in. 

Then Ashley and I started to drive. We arrived in the hospital and we saw Dylan waiting impatiently for the doctors to go out. He stood up when he saw us and Immediately greeted us. He said that Zac was still in surgery and unfortunately it's been an hour. The three of us waited for the doctors to come out. Every second felt like hours and I started to feel uncomfortable. 

A few minutes later, the doctor came out and we immediately stood up. Are you the relatives of Mr. Zachary Efron? He asked. Yes. We said in unison. Mr. Efron, has a complicated condition, the bullet is positioned deep in his abdomen. The bullet was taken out but it left a bad effect on his abdomen. He is still in observation and is going to have to stay at the ICU for a couple of weeks. The doctor said. 

We waited for Zac to be transferred to the ICU and I can't wait to see him. A few minutes later, Zac was transferred to the ICU and we head there. My heart pounded out of my chest. The three of us went inside and I saw him. All the tubes and machines surrounding him. Tears started forming in my eyes. I couldn't see him like this. I dashed out of the room and started running, running away. I found myself running towards the prayer room. 

I kneel down and prayed, I prayed for Zac. I prayed that I would be strong enough to face this. I cried. I sobbed and sobbed. Until Ash, found me in the prayer room. Nessa, why did you ran away? She asked. I just couldn't take it. I can't see him like that. I replied. You have to be strong. Zac will fight. Okay? She said. I nod my head. Nessa! Dylan said panting. What is it? I replied. It's Zac.. He said. The three of us rushed to the ICU and now It's full of doctors and nurses. What happened? I asked. 

The machines started beeping and he started to move without opening his eyes. His heartbeat monitor started to slow down. Dylan explained. I was worried. My heart starts to beat faster. They transferred Zac to the Operation Room. We stayed outside. But I watched as they try to bring back Zac's life. Tears started to roll down my cheeks. This is the day I feared. A few minutes later. His heartbeat slowly returned, I was relieved like my prayers has been answered. 

The doctors came out and talked to all of us about Zac's condition and that he is still under observation so he is still going to be in the ICU. He was stable for now and hearing that makes me feel relieved. While Ash and Dylan went out to buy our lunch, I stayed to watch over Zac. I looked at him. Sleeping peacefully. I hope he can still forgive me. I thought to myself. A tear fell of my cheek. I'm sorry Zac. I whispered and kissed him in the forehead.
