Can You Hear Me? (SetoSorcerer) (Book 1)

Chapter 30

Jordan's POV

**************

I sat back in my car seat as I watched the commotion at the door. I could see them quite clearly considering I'm halfway up the street.

I saw the door open, and I think it was Jason that opened it. I squinted my eyes to see him better, and even from this far away, I could tell that he looked ill.

From what I remember of him, from the party. I could tell that he had gotten skinnier, I mean a LOT skinnier. He looked genuinely unwell.

I watched as they conversed with eachother, before long, he disappeared inside and Mitch and Jerome walked outside. I learned forward to see them closer.

Harvey was right to let me keep watch, if Mitch and Jerome are looking for you, then I don't think it will end well.

I could see that Harvey was getting restless, and Mitch and Jerome had a smug grin on their face. Harvey clenched his fists, probably to stop himself from punching them.

All of a sudden, he walked up to them and slapped both of them in their face, sending Mitch staggering back. Oh no...

Mitch went inside, and I started to get out of the car, unlocking the door and shuffling over towards the door.

I stood when Mitch walked back out, he had his hand behind his back, is he hiding something?

Harvey leaned forward and appeared to be shouting at the pair. I opened the door to my car and started to get out.

I watched Mitch pull something from behind his back and point it at Harvey. A gun. Oh my God.

I scrambled out of thugs car and started to sprint towards the house. Oh God oh God oh God.

I ran for what felt like ages, why did I park so damn far away?

BANG

I ran round the corner, just in time to see Harvey fall to the floor. Oh no... I ran over to them, taking Crystal into a hug.

"What the Hell guys! What the actual hell." I yelled, comforting Crystal as she cried.

I looked towards them, and found the barrel of a gun in my face. I spent let go of Crystal, and started to back away.

"You're not going anywhere Jordan, you've seen too much." Mitch said, holding the gun at me.

Crystal dropped down to Harvey's body, covering the gunshot wound in his chest and hugging him.

Fear began to rise up inside of me. I'm going to join Harvey. On the floor losing the battle for life.

"What is going on here?" I turned around and saw two girls staring at us. One had blonde hair and the other had blonde hair with a red streak in it.

They realised what was happening and ran towards Mitch and Jerome. The blonde girl caught Mitch by surprise by kicking him in the stomach, causing him to bend forward in pain, she pushed him over into the floor and grabbed the gun. She kicked him in the head, knocking him out."

The other girl grabbed Jerome and started to punch him in the face. He doubled over in pain and she kicked him in the stomach and chest. Hurting him badly and causing him to pass out next to Mitch.

The blonde girl chucked the gun to the side and looked at us. I stared on then in awe.

"I guess we'll be going now."

I can't back to reality after being spaced out and wanted over to them, shaking their hand.

"Thank you, so much. What are your names?"

The blonde girl spoke first.

"It's our pleasure, we wouldn't have stood there and watched them shoot you, they deserved it anyway. Call me Georgia." Georgia said, starting to walk away.

The other girl started to follow.

"Ditto, anyway, call me Mystery."

They both walked away, leaving us. What on earth was that? I'm glad it happened, I would be dead without them.

I ran to the door of the house and shouted inside hoping someone would hear me.

"Call 911 NOW!"

I ran back outside and kneeled down next to Harvey, his breathing was irregular due to the gunshot wound in his chest. His mouth was slightly ajar and his hood lay on the floor, exposing his forehead. Revealing scars.

I ran my hand over the scars, they...were burn marks. I was snapped away when the rest of Team Crafted ran to the door, with Ian with the phone to his ear, calling the hospital.

They all ignored Mitch and Jerome and headed towards Harvey.

"Oh my God, what happened." Jason said, panicking as he held his fingers over Harvey's wrist. And sighing in relief when he felt it.

"Mitch shot him." I said, it all came to me at once, the realisation. Harvey is dying.

Ian explained where they were, and put his phone in his pocket. He kneeled down next to Harvey, and Crystal hugged him, crying into his shoulder.

Before long, the ambulances arrived, their sirens blaring out. The paramedics spilled out of the can and ran straight towards Harvey.

A couple went towards Jerome and Mitch but ignored then when they realised they had passed out.

Crystal headed over to me and hugged me, not wanting to watch her boyfriend being wheeled away.

One of the paramedics approached us...

"Are you two the closest to this boy?" He asked.

"Yeah, this is his girlfriend, Crystal, and I'm his best friend." I said, trying to stop my voice from quivering.

"You may come with him." He says, heading back towards the ambulance where Harvey was situated.

I held Crystal's hand for comfort as we both walked into the ambulance. Harvey lay on the small bed in there, hooked up to a heart monitor, that bleeped at a regular rhythm, thank god.

C'mon Harvey, you can survive this, you can't leave now, you have so much more to live for, don't leave.

Not like this...
