That Was The Trigger

Annabeth's PoV

Warnings: mentions of rape, kidnap, attempt of murder.
We all trampled into the car. Jessica took the wheel, and started speeding. We all waited for her to tell us what happened.
"So I know you are all wanting to know what happened. I'm so sorry Annie, this is gonna be hard for you. Barret got attacked to the ground by a crazy fan, who was a 49 year old man. Obviously, this man was much stronger than her, so she couldn't get up and run. The man kidnapped her, shot her, and raped her unconscious body. The man called the cops, ON HIMSELF, and is now luckily in prison. Even though the man got what he deserved, Barret is now in a coma. They think the man was on drugs." Jessica wiped tears from her eyes. Both Elle and I started sobbing hysterically. Ryan looked like he was about to kill someone. Alice looked like she had seen a ghost. Jessica looked like she had watched someone murder someone.

I didn't know what to think. I just cuddled into Ryan's side and cried into his shoulder. I wanted to die. Barret, who I was closest to, was now in a coma. I just wanted to run and hug her, and never let go, but I didn't know if I would be able to do that again. The hospital was just down the road, and because Jessica was speeding, we were there in a matter of minutes. I crawled over Alice, and I ran fast into the hospital, even though cars were going by. I had no time to talk, Barret was a dead girl walking.

I heard the cast scream my name. I finally had gotten inside the hospital, and saw Katie who looking anxious, in the waiting room. I ran up to her, still sobbing, and jumped into her arms. I heard Katie gasp.

"Woah, Annie, where are the rest of them?" Katie asked.
"They are about to walk into the building, but I couldn't wait, so I just ran in." I said between sobs.
Suddenly, the rest of the cast flooded into the building, out of breath, and so did Jon and Evan. As if on cue, the nurse came in and said we were allowed to see Barret. We all followed the nurse. I was beside the nurse, while the rest were behind. I couldn't wait to see Barret, but I knew it would hurt to see her so....defeated.

We walked into the room and I instantly burst into tears. Barret was pale as ever, and her face was red. I'm sure it was from crying. Her heart monitor went straight every so often, but she was very much alive. Her shoulder had bandages wrapped around them, indicating that she got shot there. I ran to her side and grabbed her hand. I kissed her forehead, and then laid my forehead on top of hers, and let my tears spill out.

She didn't deserve this. I decided I would find the person who did this to her.

When I lifted my forehead off of hers, I noticed the cast. Ryan had his arms crossed, and he had tears spilling out, but he made no sound. He still had that "I wanna kill someone face." Elle was sobbing into her hands, while Evan comforted her. Alice and Jessica were sobbing quietly into each other's shoulders. Jon had his hands to his face, with a shocked expression. Katie looked like she was about to cry, but she held herself back.

I stood up from my seat, still crying.
"I'm staying, I refuse to leave her side." I said sternly.
"I'm not going anywhere either." Ryan managed. It was the first time I had seen him truly break down.
Jessica, Alice, and Elle nodded in agreement.
"Same." Jon and Evan said at the same time.
"Barret's my best friend. There is no way I'm leaving her." Katie explained.

"So since all of you are staying, does that mean you'll have to cancel the show?" I asked, still tears flooding out of me.
"Yeah, since we don't have enough understudies." Ryan told me.
I nodded. "Wait, who's gonna go out and get the clothes?" I asked again.
"I will. Raise your hand if you're staying for a few days." Katie said.
I raised my hand, including Ryan, Jessica, Elle, Katie herself, and Alice. Guys, Jon and Evan will be more in here soon, I promise. I just need less characters to work with. Thanks for understanding!

Katie nodded, and left the hospital room.
I went to make myself a seat on the windowsill, by placing my Heathers jacket as a pillow. Elle, Jessica, and Alice sat next to each other. Ryan sat on the chair next to Barret's bed. Jon and Evan waved goodbye and left.

Ryan found the remote and turned on the tv. It was on the news channel.
We watched for a little while, when the man who shot Barret came up to the screen. I gasped.

It was MY father. My father shot, kidnapped and raped Barret. I started sobbing hard. Barret and Ryan were the ones who saved me. He wanted revenge, and Ryan was next.

"Ohmygod...that's my father." I said through word vomit.
"Wait, what?!" Alice asked, clearly alarmed.
"My dad wants revenge on Barret and Ryan, because they saved me." I spit out.
"Honey, he's in prison now." Elle reassured me. I was not reassured.
"Even though my dad is drunk over half the time, he's a clever man. He'll find a way." I told them.

Ryan sighed, "It's been a long day. Maybe we should go to bed."
"What if Barret dies?" I asked, beginning to cry.
" She won't. She's only unconscious from blood loss, and she only got shot in the shoulder. She should be fine." Jessica said.

I went over to Barret and kissed her goodnight. I went over to my windowsill and got comfortable. I prayed for her, and started to cry into my pillow, to muffle the sound. What if Barret didn't wake up? What if she did die? I guessed time will tell.

Wow this chapter was sad. Get it, the title was "That Was The Trigger" and Barret got shot? Take that @chaoticgeek! This was my revenge  plan, mostly because you hurt the smoll bean Cat. Do anything to her and Annabeth will have a terrible fate.
