bad girl good guy

POV:Zackery

She laid there limp as they carried her into the ambulance. I promised wouldnt leave her side and I won't.

"Zackery! Stay here!" My dad yelled from behind the car while checking her dad's pulse. He should just shoot that bastard in the head and walk away for what he did to this poor girl.

"Dad I made her a promise and im going to keep it." I looked at the first responder that heard my promise and was helping to keep her blood slowed and she nodded to let me to ride along. I climbed in the door shut and I toned out everything except her features getting paler by the second. I dont want to leave her side through this whole thing but i know when we get to that hospital they will take her to get all those shotgun pellets from her arm.

Her arm looked like some took a machete to it almost. Its barley even able to stop bleeding for more than 2 seconds. And i cant up but grab some gloves and help put pressure on all these wounds as well and one of the responders looked at me and nodded before moving away to grab painkillers and more gauze.

                  *time lapse they are at the hospital*

13 hours..... Its been 13 hours and i still haven't. Or gone home. Or showered. Or anything really. This girl deserves more than what she got in life. The schools secretary came by and told me everything and asked me to not treat her any differently to just watch her and make sure she is okay. I plan on doing better than just that and that alone. My father came in, still wearing his police uniform and sits beside me.

"I know you have a promise to keep, but you still have school in 2 hours and you have to be there. No excused absences on the record to get into a good college" that infuriated me. But of course i took a deep breath plastered a smile on my face for him and looked him dead in the eyes.

"I think mom would be disappointed that you are more worried about a good college than this girls life and possibly her last promise she has ever requested let alone made. Also im sure one absence wouldn't bother the school you want me to go to Steve" I noticed a flash of hurt before he got up and walked to stand outside the door like a dog on a leash. He has been here to "protect" her, but im sure he just wants to make sure i don't do anything to jeopardize my possible career in the law industry since he has my whole future planned out. I started at her sleep form covered in bandages that are bleeding through still and the tubes coming out of her body. I couldn't help but get up and get closer to her. Placing her hand in mine i held it as i laid my head down on the bed.

I began to think about everything that had happen since she got out of my car. I turned around and watched her walk into that house. I didn't leave because what i heard earlier yesterday when she was talking to the secratary. I wanted to see if anything happened....

And right now.... I am happy i waited.... This beautiful girl doesn't deserve any of this.
