Bad Boy Saved Me From Suicide

Get Down

~~~~Recap~~~~

     "I love you guys," I say as they all come running in for a group hug, which turned into a sort of dog pile as we all let out free spirited laughs. Now this, I can get used to.

~~~~~~ 1 Month Later~~~~~

   I'm currently getting dressed to go out to dinner with my dad and Eth when I hear a loud knock on my door. Normally Andy comes through the window but who knows. I throw a random shirt on really quickly and go to open the door. There I am greeted by the mini she devil, better known as my step sister. 

    "Is there something I can help you with?" I ask her already annoyed just seeing her face, I can tell she's up to something. She has this mischievous glint in her eyes. 

    "Well first off I have some very valuable information to you, so if I were you, I'd stop acting like a bitch before I keep it to myself." She said in a fake voice while acting wounded by my attitude toward her. I internally rolled my eyes, but assuming she actually did have something important to tell me, I held it in and put on my fake act as well. 

     "What is it that I can do for you?" I said acting fake just like her.

    "That's more like it. Now, as I was saying, I have some information that you're gonna need. Now, I know that I don't have to remind you of Noah. But, he is out from what I heard, and he's looking for you. Just because we moved houses doesn't mean he won't find you. He will try as hard as he can in order to get you. So, I'd make sure you say your goodbyes now." And with that she whips her hair and turns her back, leaving me standing there, lost in fear. I could feel my legs trembling, as well as the rest of my body.  As if on queue, Andy comes in through my window, and I try to hide my fear best I can. 

    "Hey cutie, what are you up to?" He asked as he came and gave me a hug from behind. With everything going on, I sank into the hug, not wanting it to end. It made me feel safe. I knew this wasn't going to last long. The feeling safe. But for now, I can't let people see that anything is wrong.

    "Oh you know, just getting ready to go out to lunch with dad and Eth. Do you want to join us?"

    "Of course, as long as I'm with you. I just hope I'm not intruding." He said while rubbing the back of his neck. 

    "You're not intruding. You're pretty much family, my dad loves you, Eth loves you like a brother. And, you're picking up Italian pretty well. They're impressed, I'm impressed. All is well my love," I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I went back to getting ready, so I changed into my black ripped jeans and a cute white crop top. I put on my anklet and then my camo Vans. I've been driving recently now that my dad is here because he was helping me get my license. For now I'm stuck with a permit but we all know that doesn't stop me. I grab my keys and Andy and I head out to the car. Once we get in, we buckle up and I start the car, shortly plugging my phone into the aux. "Water Fountain" by Alec Benjamin came on and I was sent directly into my feels. His music is next level good. 

    I was humming the song when I felt Andy grab my hand which made me look at him at the red light. I looked deep into his eyes and got lost but snapped out of it when I heard the sound of his raspy voice shaking me back to reality. "You should sing out loud. You are really talented. Show it." I blushed and tried to hide it by looking back to the rode but I saw him smirk out of the corner of my eye to which I rolled my eyes. The ride was comfortable and short as my music played. It let me think a bit, but I tried not to think much otherwise I knew I'd freak, and I wasn't ready for him to know yet. Especially now that things are finally ok. I pulled into the parking lot and Andy and I got out of the car heading inside to meet my family. 

    I found them in our usual booth and headed over with a smile as I saw the two of them. Once they saw us, they got out of the booth and Eth gave me a hug followed by my dad. Eth did one of those bro hugs or whatever with Andy and my dad shook his hand which made me laugh. We sat down and I began to scan the menu for what I wanted. 

    When the waitress came to take our order, she was very friendly. Apparently she had known my dad from back in Italy, and she had come here with her family, opening up this restaurant and bringing Italy to us. She looked to me and said, "So you must be Emma," with a soft and sweet smile. "I have heard plenty about you. And I'm assuming this is your boyfriend. Andy right? I'm Margherita. It's so nice to finally be able to meet you guys. Now, what can I get you to eat?" She asked, giving yet another sweet, and might I add breathtaking, smile. Although being around my dads age, she looked young and amazingly beautiful. 

    Once we all placed our orders, she went to the back and told the cook. For a Friday night it's not as packed as I thought it would be, which was nice because the sounds of other conversations didn't drown ours out. It was our group, and then two others that were relatively small groups as well. Margherita brought our food out shortly after, and us being the seemingly famished animals we are, ate our plates clean way faster than we should have. But, hear me out, the food was absolutely amazing. I haven't had good Italian food in what felt like forever. 

    And just as everything felt amazing, felt right, was the moment everything turned to shit. It happened faster than I'd ever imagined anything could. I saw his eyes first, as his entire face was covered by a black mask, his eyes and mouth the only thing visible. His eyes held onto mine and I didn't have time to react, just pure instinct took over. I got up from the booth, looked into Andy's eyes for what I thought would be the last time, as a single tear rolled down my face. He was confused, his face said it all. I mouthed "Get down," just as he entered the restaurant, gun already pointed.

BANG!!
