Brand New Love?

Chapter 23 - "Crazy Ex"

TW: Held hostage, threatened, blood, catcalling?, and other stuff like that

Y/N's POV:

"J-Jason" Rich's final words before falling unconscious.

Percy comes walking inside, gun in hand. I think I can hear the neighbors scream. He comes walking closer, I stand in front of Jason, Connor stands in front of me. Michael comes rushing out of the bedroom. Percy points the gun to Michael. "Don't come any closer" he said.

Michael throws his hands in the air, of course being scared. Then, he points the gun at us. "Get out of the way" he said. Connor stands tall, having a serious face. "Never... stop pointing the gun at us" he said. Percy chuckles, dropping is arm. "Sure, just give me my girlfriend and we will never speak of this"

"Wait... YOUR girlfriend??" Connor raised his voice.

"Yeah, she's pretty sexy. Aren't you, baby?" he smirks.

Being scared to talk, I stay silent. There's a lot of new thoughts incoming. The 3 huge main thoughts are: Rich got shot, Percy is crazy, what do I tell Marvin? His son is in this situation and he might get hurt, I can't let him hurt anyone. Great, I'm crying. All a sudden, the lights go dark and it all goes quiet.

-----

Lights turn back on, we all look around. It appears that Percy tied us up. Connor, Michael, and I are all tied up in a line. I don't know where he has Jason. Currently, Percy is pacing back and forth, keeping an eye on us. "Where the fuck have you done with Jason?" I yelled.

He gets really close to me, too close. "Look baby, I know I messed up. But, we can forget everything and we can get married" he smiles. I leaned back as much as I can, sadly it wasn't that far back. "I'm sorry baby, can we just kiss and make up?"

"I would rather kill myself"

He chuckles, putting a hand on my check, putting his lips on mine. I couldn't do anything.

After he did that, he goes back to watching over all of us. I instantly turn my head to Connor with tears forming and rolling down my face. "I'm sorry" I mouthed. Connor just looked at me, then looked to Percy. "Hey! Don't you ever lay a finger on my girlfriend!"

Dammit Con, you shouldn't have said girlfriend.

Percy's eyes widen, grabbing his gun and pointing it at me. I went tensed, my whole body didn't feel like moving, I closed my eyes and streams formed quickly. "Girlfriend, huh? Well... if I can't have you, no one can" he said cocking the gun.

Suddenly, I hear sirens in the distance. Help is on the way, a neighbor must have called 911. The three of us looked to each other while Percy checks outside. "You guys okay?" I ask. They both nod and we all quietly talk. The sirens are getting closer. Percy comes back inside with an angry look, he goes to a room. When he returns, he has Jason held hostage in front of him.

"Don't you fucking hurt him!" I yelled.

Percy ignored me, going outside. Looking at the door, Rich is still there. All of a sudden, we hear the sirens out in the road, police officers talking. The main thing I hear is the gun cocking and Jason crying. Second to next, Jason screams. "Dad! Whizzer!" he yells loudly.

"Shut the fuck up kid!" Percy yelled over him.

A little while later, the medic team comes in and takes Rich. Followed up with police officers and my dad. I'm guessing he got handcuffed. Getting us untied, I immediately ignore everyone and looked for Jason. Once I do, I rush over to him, hugging him. "I am so so so sorry Jason" I cried out. "He didn't hurt you, did he?"

"H-he bruised me... that's all"

"This is all my fault, I didn't protect you good enough" I cried.

Marvin places a hand on my shoulder, talking me down. Whizzer starts talking as Marvin took Jason away. "Whizzer you don't understand, I promised myself that I wouldn't let Jason get hurt at all. Guess what, I failed" I screamed and cried. Whizzer takes me in his arms, trying to stop me from crying.

I walk away from Whizzer, looking to see the ambulance take Rich away. "Rich?!" I dropped down to the ground. I just lay there for a few minutes... no one running over to me, just letting me here to weep. Basically just saying his name over and over again.

"Rich... please don't die, please don't die... I love you, Rich... Rich, please..."

I had a sudden urge to do something. I get up, rush back to the house, grab a bag and put certain things in, grabbed my keys, and headed to my car. Of course, everyone was trying to speak to me, but I ignored them all.

Connor grabs hold my wrist, making me stop. "Let go of me!" I screamed.

"Y/N, you need to calm down. Rich is going to be okay"
"You don't know that! If he passes away, I need to be there!"

Connor kisses me, trying to get me to calm down. "I love you, Y/N. He's-"

"So? I love Rich more than you!" I unexpectedly yelled out.
"No wait, Connor, I didn't-"

"Don't... I understand" he said walking away.

Part of me wanted to go after him, but I knew my main focus is Rich. I head into my car and drove off to the hospital. All the way there, I just sobbed and thought of the best memories I had with Rich. I have a strong feeling that Marvin doesn't want me near Jason anymore. Why does life have to hate on me? Why Rich? Why me? Why the people I love?

-----

I sprinted down the halls, trying to find Rich's room. Once I got there, and looked at him, I felt instant anger. That psycho made Rich look like this... tubes, wires, bandages. Hell, he made him go to the hospital, I'm going to fucking kill him.

Walking into the room, I set down the bag on the chair, and took a seat on the end of the hospital bed. "Rich... I don't think you can hear me, but you know I'll never leave you" I say in a calmly tone. I slowly reach out my hand, grabbing his. Its so tender and soft. "Um... oh, if your wondering, Jason is okay. He just has bruises" I say.

"Another thing... Connors mad at me. All I said was I love you more than him. Its not true, I love Connor so much. I love you a lot too, Rich. I just panicked and just said whatever first came to my mind... and, I know your jealous of him. I understand, I would be jealous too. I know you really like me, Michael told me. I'm not mad, you're pretty attractive yourself..."

"...I don't even know why I'm telling you this, you can't hear me" I chuckle.

"Hey Rich? Can you promise me something?... I want you to stay alive, please. I don't think I could live without you..." I said, sniffing, wiping tears.
