~Nora's POV
We raced through the streets, me holding tightly for my seat belt. I mumbled some words since I was very anxious. Sam put up a camera and I stared at him like I was about to kill him.
-"are you kidding me, Sam?! OUR FRIENDS ARE IN DANGER AND YOU WANT TO RECORD OUR REACTION OR SOMETHING"- I yelled furiously at him before he shut me off. -"NORA! WHEN WE CATCH THIS BASTARD WE NEED EVIDENCE! WE WON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITHOUT A PUNISHMENT. I WILL PERSONALLY TALK IN FRONT OF THE COURT, SO IS COLBY! PLEASE TRUST ME AND STOP YELLING"- he shouted back. I felt stupid and guilty.
His phone rang and I picked it up for him since he handed it to me.
-"COREY!"- I shouted my voice shaking. -"Nora, Kat called me, she is terrified! I'm on my way to there I'm taking a short way to there. See you"- he said and hung up. I gave back the phone to Sam.
-"shouldn't we call the cops?!"- I snapped. -"how do I explain where it is?!"- Sam snapped back. -"i will! I'm not letting Colby or Jake get hurt because of my mistakes in life"- I said and called 9 1 1 explaining the case. We sent our location through a text to 9 1 1 and now they can keep track of us. I looked back at the message Colby has sent me. My heart was breaking even tho I know he wouldn't just leave me.
He wouldn't say that ... right?
-"cmon Nora"- Sam stopped the car and it was so dark outside. -"it is in the middle of nowhere ..."- I said covering my mouth in shock. Sam equipped me with a hidden camera. He took the big one and we headed into the woods following the path that lead us to a yard of an abandoned building. We heard talking.
-"where is Corey?!"- I whisper yelled. -"probably already here ... the cops will also be here any minute"- Sam whispered back looking at the figures in the dark. Four people.
-"that damn fucker"- Sam took a few photos. -"his ugly face will look great on the news"- Sam added through gritted teeth. -"is that a gun?!"- I pointed at the person who seemed to be Caleb. -"I hope your and my eyes are lying to you"- Sam said.
*ding*
-"that damn fucker has a gun! What do we do?!"- Corey texted.
-"I will go!"- I said confidently and handed him my keys and stuff I didn't need. He immediately stopped me. -"are you insane?! He has a gun!"- Sam freaked out his grip getting tighter. -"he won't shoot me. I will win us time"- I said and slowly pulled out my hand from his grip. He was just standing there not knowing what to do. I understand. It's got way too complicated since I came into their lives but I won't walk away like nothing happened. I will defend my friends.
-"CALEB"- I shouted and everybody stopped. Jake tried to tell me to not come any closer but his mouth was blocked. He was also tied up. He desperately tried to warn me but I was just convinced I'm going to help.
-"NORA GET THE FUCK AWAY OF HIM"- Colby yelled. I didn't move. I even provoked Caleb to point his pathetic gun at me. I started walking closer and closer to him until the gun was against my forehead. I could hear Jake's desperate screams through the fabric that was wrapped against his mouth.
-"NO NO PLEASE, STOPP MOVE AWAY FROM HIM"- Colby started tearing up. I was looking at Caleb only.
-"you are going to die for him?!"- Caleb mumbled. -"I am going to die for you"- I said not moving my eyes away from him.
-"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT NORA ARE YOU INSANE"- Colby yelled once more. I ignored.
~Colby's POV:
Did we really go through this just for her to stay with him?! Did we suffer for nothing?! My heart is broken but I won't let her die.
~Nora's POV:
-"Keep looking at my eyes, Caleb. I always loved you and I always will. We are together forever, right"- I said to him caressing his cheek. The gun slowly moved away from my forehead allowing me to breathe normally.
He kept staring at me without saying anything. It was perfect time for Colby to get up quietly and attack from the back.
-"you love me, huh?"
-"yes"
-"Fucking slut"- he said as he immediately turned around and tried to shoot Colby but in the panic I managed to move his hand so Colby could avoid the bullet.
-"you lying to me, huh after everything we've been through"- he grabbed me by the neck lifting me up a little bit saying awful things to me right in the face where I could feel his hot breathe hitting my skin. He went behind me and pressed the gun once again upon my head. -"move and she will be dead before you blink"- Caleb threatened Colby. Colby stopped and stuck his hands in the air not breaking eye contact with me. It felt like we were talking without words.
We heard police sirens from the distance.
-"so you brought company? You smart bitch"- he whispered in my ear as I started to tear up. -"it's over Caleb, get over it"- I said. -"oh is it?"- he said before pushing me against Colby and right before he could catch me I heard a loud noise and I felt so cold. I couldn't hear anything, my sight was blurry.
~Colby's POV
-"NORA"- I yelled terrified catching her motionless body before it hit the ground.
-"COLBY CATCH HIM WE ARE TAKING CARE OF NORA AND JAKE"- I heard Sam. I didn't have time to think I just ran after him.
Running furiously after him he finally stumbled over and grabbed him by the legs flipping him over so he could look at me right in the eyes.
-"YOU DAMN FUCKER"- I started crying ones again yelling like I was some wild man. -
-"HOW DARE YOU LAY FINGER ON MY GIRL"- all he did was to laugh as the pain was taking through my whole body turning it into anger.
-"HOW"- one punch.
-"DARE"- second punch.
-"YOUUUUUU"- third punch.
Laying all my anger on him yelling and punching him like I was a beast I finally left him unconscious finally able to yell it all out.
Agony. It's a terrible thing, isn't it?
-"HEY YOU!"- flashes were pointed at my sweaty and red face. They were cops.
-"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!"- one of them kneeled next to me as the others took the unconscious body of Caleb away.
-"H-he shot my g-girl- MY GIRLFRIEND"- I shouted furiously getting up fully decided I wanted him dead and not just unconscious. The cop struggled to hold me. -"GO AWAY, I DON'T CARE IF I GO TO PRISON FOR THIS I WANT HIM DEAD"- I shouted. -"kid! Look at me"- the cop pinned me against the tree. -"...everything is going to be alright! You proved yourself! Let the police do it's work! Don't be foolish. Now ... Where are the others"- he asked. I stared at him for a minute.
- "T-the B-build-"
-"KID SPEAK LOUDER! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF"
-"THE BUILDING"- I shouted. He nodded and we headed back to where it all started ...
