Did You Really Save Me

Chapter Fourteen

Max POV

Everyone is frozen. It is like time has stopped, no-one has moved from there spots. I glance over to see Sean, Kris, Travis, Xavier and Levi. The rest of the gang come rushing down the stairs, they all look frantic.

The lights have been turned on, I look in front of me and see that the person, a guy, was dead. It is only now that I realise two gunshots when off. I look down to see that my side is indeed bleeding. The pain only hits now, I groan and clutch my side, my steps falter a little bit. Caleb and Steve rush over to me and help me stand. "M.X!" Caleb yells "I'm fine" I croak out "You're anything but fine." Steve replies. "Kyle and Xavier you take the body out of here, Levi, Lucas, Caleb and Steve take M.X to the medical room." Sean barks out the orders strongly. This is must be the reason why he was chosen as the leader.

Caleb and Steve practically drag me to the medical room, Lucas and Levi had already rushed there as soon as Sean finished sending out the orders. It is times like this where I feel hopeless. As soon as Steve, Caleb and I have reached the medic room I was put onto a bed. I groan again and mutter a curse word under my breath. Oh no, they are going to see! No, not now, anytime but now. I look around the room and I can see it is like a surgery room. Lucas comes over to me he is holding a mask. "M.X we are going to have to see if the bullet is still in you, for this we are going to knock you out so you won't feel a thing," he says with a small and comforting smile and puts the mask over my nose and mouth. Soon I feel sleepy and my eyes close and I am engulfed by blackness.

I am awoken to small talk going around the room, my eyes flutter open but close again because of the blinding light in the room. I groan when I try to sit up, the pain from my side making me stop. It also seems to grab the attention of the others that were speaking in the room. "M.X?" Someone asks, I just groan in response. I open my eyes again and this time the light isn't as bad, it takes a while for my eyes to focus on anything around the room.

I try to sit up again and Lucas rushes towards me to help me get up. I nod as a thank you, he just smiles back. "So M.X how are you feeling?" Levi asks "Ok I guess, could be better though" I reply with a croaky voice, he just chuckles. Lucas hands me a glass of water, I mutter a small 'thanks' and drink the water. My throat feels a lot better, it's not dry and scratchy anymore. "Who was that person that came in today?" I ask a couple of them sigh and others don't say or do anything. "As we are a strong group and not many people have beaten us in a battle, smaller gangs try to steal things to prove that they are higher and can do things better than us," Sean says.
