⚠️LANGUAGE AND SOME HARD TO READ CONTENT⚠️
***Y/N POV***
I scrunched my eyes closed afraid to look up after the very loud gunshot was heard. My hands immediately went to my stomach, clutching it together, thinking that if the unthinkable happened, the little baby inside my stomach would be okay.
I heard Tom's screams next to me, yelling for me to run towards him or move out of the way before the small bullet made contact with me.......but I was too late.
A red hot flash of pain went into my body. I couldn't tell exactly where it was at but it was close to my middle stomach.
As the bullet made it's way through my skin, the pain and impact became too much and I fell onto the black concrete. The hot pavement was now covered in the red hotness of my blood that was at this point, gushing out.
I opened my eyes carefully, trying to take in what had happened. My eyes went directly to the man. He was wearing a mask, so I couldn't tell who the killer was but I could see a sense of regret in his eyes. Probably regretted not killing me in that instant.
The man looked at Tom before making a run for it. As the man disappeared in his car, Tom kneeled down to my aid.
Tom: "Y/N Y/N stay with me!! Stay awake until the ambulance comes ok?!?"
I nodded my head saying yes, but eventually the pain and loss of blood came to unbearable. My eyes were getting heavier as the minutes went by. Then I closed my eyes and lost complete consciousness.
***TOM POV***
I sat in the cold beige room, hearing the same speed of beeps that had been going on since I got here. It had been two days since the shooting incident. And I hadn't left the hospital since Y/N was in surgery.
I couldn't leave.
It weird you know? I've only known this girl for what? 2 weeks and I'm already putting her before me. We've barley even spoken a paragraph to eachother but something about her made me want to protect her, be by her side. A feeling is at the pit of my stomach that I just couldn't explain. I've never had a feeling like this.
Something about Y/N made me feel happy. She's so intune with her own rules and doesn't give a shit what you tell her. When I first laid eyes on her, something about her presence made me feel happy. Even when we'd say the occasional 'hi' if we'd pass eachother in the halls of my home, I could feel some sort of connection to her.
And when that shit Shawn dude broke up with her, all I could feel was anger towards him. I shouldn't thought. After all we barely know one another, so why should I be feeling this way over some girl?
My hands were clamped together as I waited and waited in this hospital.
The doctors did all that they could for Y/N but weren't 100% sure when she'd wake up or if she would wake up.
All I know is that, once Y/N is awake and we can get out of his shit hole, I'll be finding anything I can on who the fuck that man was. My only job that I promised Mr. Y/L/N, was to protect his daughter at all times, but look at us now. I knew that if the world found out about this.....i would be in some deep shit.
I gaze moved from my hands to Y/N as I heard some squirming in her direction. I got out of my seat and slowly walked over to Y/N.
She was awake.
Y/N: "Tom?"
Tom: "Shshsh let me get the doctor quickly"
I went to the door and called in the doctor.
A number of nurses and doctors came to do a few check-ups, making sure Y/N was still in good condition.
Doctor: "Ok well Y/N your all good. We removed the bullet from your stomach so you should be on your way to healing. We'll keep you here some more just to make sure things stay fine, but maybe in around a week or 2, you'll be out of here"
Y/N: "W-Wait I was hit in my s-stomach?"
Doctor: "Yes....don't worry not too much damage"
Y/N: "W-What about my-my...."
***Y/N POV***
Y/N: "W-What about my-my...."
Doctor: "Your what?"
Y/N: "My....My....My baby"
I looked at the doctor's faces to see that they were very confused.
I glanced a bit at Tom to see his mouth wide open. He looked completely and utterly shocked.
Doctor: "I'm sorry miss but we don't understand"
Y/N: "W-What don't you get? I'm pregnant"
Doctor: "No your not miss"
Y/N: "So I had a miscarriage?"
It felt like I got another shot to the stomach saying that.
Doctor: "No you were never pregnant....no signs were shown"
Y/N: "B-But I took a test"
Doctor: "Miss those aren't always right. Did you visit a doctor before?"
Y/N: "No. Never got the chance"
I glanced at Tom then looked back at the doctor.
Doctor: "You had a faulty test then. Sorry Miss....um maybe we should leave you and your husband alone to talk"
The doctor gave me a sympathetic smile before walking away, nurses and more doctors followed.
I was then left in an awkward silence with Tom.
Tom: "So.....you thought you were pregnant?"
Y/N: "Uh ya I did"
Tom: "And you didn't tell anyone because......"
Y/N: "I didn't think you or my dad would understand. I was going to tell Shawn but.....never did"
Tom: "Ya...."
Y/N: "I should be happy right? I'm only 21. Plus after everything that just happened.....wouldn't be right to have a baby"
As I said that I felt terrible. I felt like I was connected with this baby that never actually existed. So why am I so sad over this?
Tom: "Ya......so....how you feeling?"
Y/N: "Uh in pain but other then that I'm fine"
Silence.
Y/N: "So uh how's work been?"
Tom: "Work? Darling I haven't been to work since you've been shot"
Y/N: "Really? Why?"
Tom: "I mean I couldn't just leave you here. I tried to call Shawn and your dad but no answer so I decided to stay here for you......plus it was only 2 days, not like I'd miss anything"
Lies. Tom is always busy. Never once have I seen him not working.
Y/N: "Oh well thank you. Has uh....has anyo-"
Tom: "Has anyone come forward for shooting you? God no. I haven't had the time to investigate into anything. But I do know that it wasn't randomly.....they mean't to shoot you"
Y/N: "Oh....."
Tom: "Don't panic though......you'll have a lot more security until we find more out"
Find more out.
What is there to find out? I've been shot and that's it. Whoever did this is most likely on the run and not coming back anytime soon.
Y/N: "Hey what were you gonna tell me about 13 years ago? Something happened but you never told me what"
Tom: "Do you know what happened 13 years ago?"
Y/N: "Mum got killed.....but what else?"
Tom sighed and came closer to me.
I felt my heart skip a beat.
Tom: "I'll tell you when your ready....not right now. We need to find out who did this to you and then I may tell you. But for now your in no condition"
I nodded my head.
I know I most likely seemed calm on the outside but on the inside.....I was panicking.
Something about the man that shot me gave me an odd feeling.
I was never able to see the man's face.....but just by looking into his eyes that were visible to me, I could feel something.
He was familiar.....too familiar.
