Payton's POV:
"Not again" I said as my voice cracked. Nova was in my arms bleeding out. Tears fell from my eyes, remembering that night with Jack.
"Call 911" I screamed holding Nova in my arms. Jackson got his phone out and dialled 911.
I looked up to see that the man who shot Nova was gone, he ran away.
"They said that all the available ambulances were being used and other ones are being worked on" Jackson said panicked.
"Fuck" I muttered under my breath.
"We're going to have to take my car" I said taking Nova in my arms holding her bridal style.
"Okay it's like a 5 minute walk" Jackson said as we started running back to the amusement park parking lot.
We kept running and some people noticed but didn't say anything.
"Here you drive, I'm going to keep Nova in my arms" I said tossing Jackson my keys.
He nodded and we both got into the car, him in the driver seat and Nova and I in the backseat.
Jackson started the car and we were off to the hospital.
"Don't give up on me" I pleaded as tears escaped my eyes.
I can't believe what just happened. It was like déjà vu, but it's real. I couldn't move, I should've moved but I was frozen, thinking about Jack.
Fuck if I just moved and gave the man my shit Nova would've never got shot. Why the fuck did she even step in front of the bullet, that's stupid, she should've let the man shoot me not her.
Nova can't die though, right? No. Nova's mom would be completely heartbroken, she already lost Jack which took her ages to overcome. She will be completely destroyed loosing Nova to.
Imaging letting your child fly out to have 'fun' but then get the news she was shot and died. That is completely awful.
"I swear to god Nova, don't die on me" I said grabbing ahold of her hand.
Once we got there I carried Nova into the hospital with Jackson following.
"Help!" I yelled once we walked in. The nurses and doctors immediately rushed over with a hospital bed thing.
I gently placed Nova down. They took her away down the hall and left Jackson and I standing there.
I stood there speechless. The worst thing that's ever happened to me just happened again.
What if she dies? No she can't. But if she does. I'll be my fault. I should've tried harder to move. I should've pushed Nova out of the way before she got shot.
"It's my fault" I said in a whisper. "It's not" Jackson said placing his hand on my shoulder.
"It is, its all my fault, if she doesn't make it, it'll be my fault" I said feeling it get harder to breath.
"Payton, let's sit down" Jackson said grabbing my wrist and walking me towards some chairs. We both sat down.
"She's all I have left" I said. "You have me, you have all the boys from tour. Payton you still have so many people" Jackson said.
"No. Nova's not like that though, Nova's not just some person. She-she's my best friend, and I love her. I already put her through hell, she can't go" I sighed.
"I know you've know her for a long ti-" I cut Jackson off.
"I've known her my whole fucking life! I've grown up with her! Everyday I hung out with her except when I kinda screwed things up, but I made up for it" I said raising my voice.
