CHARISMA
"I'm going out for a run"
Roma blinks at me.
"You sure?"
"Ro, it's been a week" I stretch my arms "I've been eating like an elephant and I need to lose weight to fit into my homecoming dress"
"What do you mean, lose weight?" My sister pats my stomach "Your stomach is flatter than a sheet of paper"
"Sure" I eye her perfect physique mockingly
"Speaking of, I don't really think I'm the only one who's noticed" She gestures to me "All that"
"What?"
"Sis, please, everyone can see how Chris just wants to eat you up"
I choke on the water I was drinking.
"N-no we're just-"
"Friends? Yeah, and Richard is Einstein's son" She rolled her eyes.
"You seem to be quite infatuated with him" I tease and her face turns red
"Fuck off" She says, obviously flustered and I cackle over my shoulder.
It's hard to work your way back into your normal routine when you've been in hospital for almost two weeks.
The thought strikes my brain as I finish my first mile of running, my muscles crying for mercy.
Shit, I need to hit the shooting range too.
I'm planning out my entire routine again when I hear a ruslte in the bushes.
I forgot my gun. Fuck.
The rustling grows louder and louder and then, silence.
"CHARISMA!" I turn to see Chris running towards me with an unconscious Brielle under his arm.
"What the fu-" I start but he stops me
"There's a psycho shooting at us and I need you to help"
"I don't have a gun" I say but he holds up a small revolver
"A gift from your dad" He says "The car is close. You keep watch and I'll try and get us there fast"
A gunshot whizzes past us as he says the last word and I look behind to see a masked man shooting at us.
"GO, GO , GO!" I yell at Christopher and we run at break-neck speed.
"Ow" A bullet lodges itself in my shoulder as I shoot back at the psycho.
"Keep running!" I yell when Christopher looks back concernedly.
We reach the car with no further injuries.
"Step on it!" I say, still shooting at the hitman, who's apparently stolen a car.
We manage to confuse him and Chris pulls over at an isolated corner.
The car is silent for a few minutes, save for our breathing and the sounds of the city around us.
Chris nods at my shoulder "You okay?"
My shoulder is bleeding like anything.
I look to the sky.
How many more hospital trips am I going to make in this town?
A/N ; i couldnt do the entire car chase thing bcz i ran out of ideas but hiii
