I was shaken awake by Alex, who seemed very urgent.

"Look, that was some group of guys with guns and they tried to shoot you, and I paniced. I managed to pull you out of there and into the yard. We don't have much time so we need to go now." He said walking towards his car which he had driven around to the back yard.

I pulled myself up off the ground, to notice a few shots of pain in my shoulder and my leg. I looked down and saw that I had gotten shot in the back of my leg, which would explain why Alex didn't see it, since the bullet was obviously still in my leg considering there was no exit wound.

"Hey uh Alex. I think I got shot. Twice." I said as he turned around.

"Oh shit. Where? Are you okay? Dear god we need to get you to the hospital." He said rushing over to help me to the car.

"I think my leg and shoulder since that is where there is pain and blood. You are literally the worst at details in these situations aren't you?" I said back to him as I sat down in the passenger seat.

As Alex started the car, I saw someone move behind the car.

"Alex!" I screamed as what seemed like hundreds of shots were fired in our direction.

"SHIT" Alex screamed back, putting the car into drive in a sudden attempt at trying to escape these bastards.

When we got into town, since my grandma lived out in the country, we realized we managed to loose those guys, and pulled over at a gas station.

"So, like, do you know who they were?" I asked, looking over at Alex.

"I don't know, I just realized they had guns and were shooting and goy you out of there. Your grandma ran to get something and said before you woke up she was going to her friend's house." He said, looking back at me. I could tell he was worried about me, even though it is my fault all of this is happening and I killed his girlfriend and I am probably going to kill more people if we don't get this curse to go away.

"Oh. So she is okay?" I asked, looking down at where I had bandaged up my leg.

"That I know of yeah." He said, also looking at my leg.

"Okay....." I said back, trying to hide the pain in my shoulder. I had never been shot before but dear god this shit hurts like a motherfucker.

"Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital about this?" He said, now guaranteeing the fact that he was worried sick about me.

"Well it hurts and I probably need stiches, but we need to make sure those bastards are gone long enough for us to go to the hospital so they don't follow us in and kill us there. Until we can guarantee that, we need to keep moving." I said

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We eventually stopped at the first motel we saw after we left the gas station since it was getting late. We figured that by morning when we left it would be safe enough to go to a hospital.

"So your sure that you will be okay until tomorrow?" Alex asked, puting on pajamas.

"Yes Alex I will survive the night without another hospital visit." I said rolling my eyes at his constant worrying attitude.

Since we didn't have a lot of money, we had to get one room, which could prove to be awkward, considering I have had a crush on this guy since the 7th grade, but then again maybe I am just overthinking. After he was done doing whatever he was doing, he turned on the tv, went over to his bag, and pulled out an Xbox.

Of course Alex brought his Xbox. He never goes anywhere without it. It's almost like a security blanket for him.

"Speaking of surviving the night, wanna play Minecraft?" He asked, slipping into my bed, holding out a controller to me.

"Sure why the hell not." I said taking the remote anf turning it on.

After we began, he somehow managed while I wasn't paying attention, to turn the difficulty up to Hard, and when I realized it, I had been killed at least 3 times.

"You little dick face!" I yelled, slapping him.

"I thought it would be funny!" He said giggling.

"Well it wasn't!" I said pouting at him. "I even lost my diamond sword!"

"Aww I'm sorry." He said making a fake sad face, which I responded to with a punch.

"You know if you hadn't saved my life earlier today I would have punched you in the dick already." I said looking over at him.

"Yeah." He said, carefully putting his arm around me.

I was kind of surprised he was showing me this much affection, considering what I have done.

"Why don't you hate me? I mean I have kind of killed your girlfriend and caused you to almost die multiple times all within two days." I said.

"Because for starters, I hated Abby. She was only dating me to say she was dating a football player. And second of all, I will never hate you. I couldn't do that to you, or myself. Life would be boring without you having to be protected at all times." He said, then kissed my forehead.

I could feel the heat rushing to my cheeks. God why was I so horrible at hiding my emotions?

----------------------------------------------

A/N: god this is like horrible but hey an update! Also I am dedicating this chapter to the following:
