William...

Chapter 42...

LEAH POV—

I screamed as a I saw Will's lifeless body on the ground. He was bleeding out. I rushed over to him and placed my hands on his chest, applying pressure to his wound, in order to stop it from bleeding.

"Somebody call a fucking ambulance!"

"Leah!" Tasha shouted.

I looked up at her. "Call 911! Hurry up, damn it!"

Tasha quickly took out her phone and made the call.

I looked down at Will with teary eyes.

"Just hang in there Will."

"I-I'm....s-sorry." He struggled to say.

"Shhh, don't talk."

He coughed up blood as he struggled to keep his eyes opened. 

"No, keep you eyes open! Don't you do this to me!"

Moments later, the basketball team and cheerleaders were here.

Danny and them rushed over.

"What happened?!" He yelled, looking down at his friend.

"He got shot!" I shouted back.

"Shit!" I heard one of the twins say.

"Where's the fucking ambulance?!" I yelled.

"Help is on the way Will."

He slowly nodded as his eyes closed. Tears were streaming down my face.

Minutes later, an ambulance arrived and paramedics rushed over with a gurney. They placed Will on it and placed him in the back of the ambulance. I quickly got in with them.

"I'll meet y'all at the hospital." I told Tasha and them.

They nodded their heads as the ambulance's door closed and sped off. I held Will's hand as the paramedics worked on him.

"You'll be okay." I stated as more tears fell.

———————————

I was at the hospital, sitting in the waiting room, waiting on some news. Will was in the back having surgery. I hope that he would pull through this.

I couldn't believe what happened. Andre had another thing coming. He fled the scene after he shot Will. Coward! He couldn't run and hide forever. He'd  soon be found.

However, I couldn't worry about him right now. My mind was trained on Will's well being.

"Leah! Thank God, how is he?" Tasha questioned, rushing into the room followed by Will's crew.

I stood up. "I don't know. He's having surgery right now."

"How did this happen?" Danny asked.

I explained everything that happened.

He paced back and forth. "This is your fault!"

"My fault?!"

"If it wasn't for you, my best friend would be fine!" He yelled in my face.

"Fuck you!"

"Aye, calm down!" Aiden yelled.

"Will is fighting for his life and you two over here yelling at each other. Just shut the fuck up!" Brayden bellowed out.

"Come sit, Leah." Tasha said in a soft tone, pulling me towards a chair.

I sat next to her, bouncing my leg as I stared at my hands that was covered in Will's blood. I lowered my head and said a quick prayer, hoping that he'd be okay.

DANNY POV—

I couldn't sit still as we waited on the news about Will. I was very upset. Out of all the people to get shot, it had to be my best friend! And for what? Because he's friends with Leah again?

I knew them becoming friends again would be a bad idea, but damn was it possibly worth losing his life? No!

I just needed to calm down, but I couldn't help, but to be mad at this situation.

I continued to pace back and forth, waiting for any news about Will, until his mom came walking past the waiting room, looking through papers.

"Hey, Danny." She said, walking up to me.

I stood there in silence, not knowing what to say.

"Why are you so quiet? Wait, why are you here? Someone in your family is hurt?" She asked, concerned.

I stood there crying, knowing that she didn't know what happened to Will.

I saw her look around the room to see the twins sitting with their heads down and Leah sitting down crying with Tasha.

"Hold on, what's going on?" She questioned.

"Ms. Pierce-" I was saying, before she cut me off.

"Where's Will?" She asked in a panic.

We all looked at her as we heard the pain in her voice.

"Where the fuck is my son?!" She shouted.

"Ms. Pierce, Will is in surgery...." I managed to say.

"S-surgery?" She asked, confused.

"Will...he got....Will got..."

"Will got shot!" Leah shouted from across the room.

We all looked at Ms. Pierce as her body went numb.

She stood there not saying a word. It was actually making me nervous because she didn't say anything at all.

Out of nowhere, her body just dropped. I ran over to her as fast as I could.

"Can we get some help in here?!" I shouted.

Leah came running over to her.

"Get the fuck back! You've done enough!" I screamed at her.

"It's not my fault! I would never want Will to get hurt. Ever!" She shouted back.

Seconds later, doctors and nurses ran into the waiting room, helping Ms. Pierce back to her feet.

"I'm okay. I'm fine. Now, someone tell me what happen to my damn son!" Ms. Pierce yelled, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Ask that bitch over there." I said, pointing at Leah.

"I ain't gone be too many bitches." Leah stated.

She walked over and sat next to Leah, who then told her what happened. She just broke down, crying as Leah comforted her.

I walked over to a water cooler, kicking it down.

"Fuck!" I screamed.

"Let's go for a walk Danny." Aiden said, trying to comfort me.

"No, I'm not leaving, until I know that Will is okay."

~Two Hours Later~

A doctor came into the waiting room.

"I'm looking for the family of William Pierce." She said.

"That would be me." Ms. Pierce said, getting up.

"As you know, William was shot in his chest. It didn't hit his heart, thank God, but it still did a lot of damage. We were able to repair most of the damage but-"

"But, what?!" I screamed.

"But...William lost a lot of blood, which caused him to slip into a coma. We don't know when or if he'll wake up. I'm sorry." The doctor said, in a sad tone.

"Can we see him?" Leah asked.

"Yes."

A coma? My best friend was in a coma and it was possible that he wouldn't even wake up? I dropped to my knees, not having the strength to stand. Everyone was crying. It was truly a sad scene.

I just need him to wake up. We all need him to. This can't be the end for Will.
