Brianna's POV

I felt pain.

A lot of it too.

I thought that was the last thing I'd ever feel, and the last thing I'd hear would be the sound of a gunshot.

But it wasn't.

I heard two shots.

First shot went off, and no pain occured. Once the second one went off, that's when I felt pain.

Then screams; I heard the yells of a familiar voice coming through my bedroom.

I screamed as the pain in my upper leg was unbearable.

I knew then that I was shot in my leg.

How? He was aiming for my head.

The voice gets closer and I finally have a clear sight of the person.

"Amber?!" I yell as I hold my leg in pain.

"Yeah I know I'm the last person you'd want to see here but-"

"I don't care about that." I look down at my leg and shake. "Just g-get me to the hospital please."

"Oh, right of course." She frantically puts the gun down and pulls her phone from her pocket.

"911 what's your emergency?" I hear the sound of a lady's voice coming from the phone.

"My- f...friend was shot, please hurry!"

"Alright ma'am we have an ambulance sent to your location."

She hangs up and looks down at my leg.

"Fuck..." She swears and presses her hand against my leg.

The room starts to spin, and I began to get light headed when I hear the screams of my kids intensify in my ears.

"Bent...Bree..." I whisper.

"I'll get them." She says and I groan in pain as I hear the sirens in the distance as I shut my eyes.

The next thing I knew, I awoke in a hospital bed to the rhythmic tune of the heart monitor beeping.

"Bri?" I hear a familiar voice ask.

"Hmm..." I flutter my eyes open to see a puffy faced Mitch sitting beside my bed.

"Hey...how are you feeling?"

I finally realize where I am and sigh. "A hospital."

"Um, okay...why are you here?"

I throw the covers off of me to look at my left leg and frown. "I got shot."

"By who?"

"Jesus, Mitch is this twenty questions or something? You know damn well who did."

Mitch puts his hands up in defense, "Sorry I just-"

"I just what? Left my wife for weeks to fend for herself, two small children and a unborn ba-" I pause. "How is the baby?! How's Bentley and Aubree?!" I panic now and Mitch places his hand on my arm.

"Bri calm down. The kids are fine. Faith took them to a playground for a bit. The baby is fine too. They ran some tests to see if any shock effected it and everything came out fine. There's no need to worry."

"No need to worry?!" I angrily yell at him.

"Brianna please calm down."

"No!" I yell. "I was worried sick about you! You left me alone for weeks! All you left me was a damn letter saying 'You know why I left' and that was it! No texts, calls...nothing! You put me and your fans through hell!"

"Look Bri, I'm sorry. I know that this was hard on you and trust me, it was very difficult for me too. I had to help out my family, that's the most important thing to me."

"But we're your family too."

"But our nephew was taken from my sister. As much shit she's done I couldn't just sit there and let some asshole take him away from us."

I sigh and nod. "I can't disagree with you...if it was Kacie then I...would probably do the same thing."

"God forbid this ever happens again, but if it does, I swear I won't leave you and the kids alone."

"Yeah, or this," I gesture towards my leg. "May end up in an even worse place."

"Okay let's not talk about that."

"Did they ever find Luke?" I quickly change the subject and Mitch sighs.

"Yeah, found him at an orphanage."

"Jesus, where's Amber?"

"She's outside. I told her to wait a bit until you woke up. I would have told her to leave, but she was the one to save your life so...you wanna see her?"

I nod and Mitch smiles, standing up and walks out of the hospital room. I run my fingers through my hair then press the button next to me for morphine. Once I was administered enough drugs that was legal, Amber walks in, looking a bit skeptical.

"Hey, how are you?"

"Pretty good cause of the morphine."

She chuckles, "There's the Brianna I remember, the one to make jokes in any bad situation." She sits on the chair beside me and smiles.

"How did you find me?" I ask.

"It's a long story, but hey, you aren't going anywhere soon, might as well tell you everything."

"Okay, then tell me everything."

"Well, where do I even start?"

I honestly don't know how many words this is but I feel like it was short.

But I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry I haven't been active much, dealing with school and other shiz.

Thanks for Reading!

Much Love❤
