Chloe's Point of View:
The psychotic man fired a shot at the security guard. He tried to get him to put his gun down. "Anyone else tries to do something and you'll end up like him!" the man shouts. "Just, everyone put your bags and money in the center and you'll be fine!" Everyone does what he says and then quickly goes back to their spots. I rush back to the corner Beca was crouched in. I held her in my arms as she shook uncontrollably. Tears ran down both of our faces. "Um Chloe..." her voice shook like her body."In case we die here-" "We're not going to." I say sternly, looking her in the eyes. She sighs and takes in a deep breath. "If we do... I want you to know that I love you." "I love you too Beca-" "No, not like that. You're my best friend, but I love you more than a best friend should." She breaks eye contact with me. "You do?" she sniffles and nods her head. "Please don't hate me." cries into her hands. "I-" I'm cut off by the man with the gun yelling. "I-I-I can't do this!" he puts the gun to his head and pulls the trigger. Blood splatters everywhere and his body drops to the floor. "Oh my god!" Beca croaks out and buries her head in the crook of my neck. I hold her body close to me as tears silently flow down my cheeks.
Police officers quickly flood the building. Two men come to me and Beca and each grab one of us. "No! I can't leave her!" I shout. "We have to get her to the hospital!" the man grabs the limp Beca and carries her out to an ambulance which pulls off almost immediately. I'm escorted out of the building and immediately met with my mom's arms. I sob into her shoulder as she shushes me and pets my head. "My poor baby, are you okay?" she asks, worried. I shake my head no. "Beca..." I say before uncontrollably sobbing again. "I know sweet heart. I know." she says softly. "Beca will be fine, okay? Got it?" she asks, pulling me away and looking into my eyes. "Beca is a fighter you know that. She'll be fine." I wipe my nose with my sleeve and nod my head. "Okay." "We can go home after the officer asks you a few questions."Okay." I say, turning to the officer waiting.
"What happened when the man came in?" he asked. "Nothing at first, until he pulled out his gun." he writes what I say down. "What did he do after that?" "He shot one of the security guards." He continues to write what I'm saying down. "What else?" "Um... Some guy ran at him and tried to take the gun and he shot him and..." I begin to shake. "Um he got really angry and sh-shot Beca." the tears begin to fall again. The man writes it down. "And after that." "He shot the guard who tried to get him to put his gun down and then he shot himself. That's it." I say before burring my head on my mom's shoulder again. "Thank you." he says before walking away. "Let's go home sweetheart." my mom says, guiding me to the car. "No, I have to go see Beca!" I whine. "Chloe, you need to rest. Take a shower, eat and sleep is what you need to do and we will go see Beca tomorrow." I sigh and agree. "Okay. Tomorrow morning."
My mom couldn't get me to eat but I did take a shower considering I had blood everywhere. Beca's blood. I drag my feet as I make my way to my room. I fall onto my warm bed and I lay under the covers. I glanced at my phone when it started to glow. Maybe it's Beca. I grab my phone and look at the message.
Jesse- You okay? I heard you and Beca were in there is she okay? She's not answering my texts.
Me- Not really.
Jesse- You or Beca?
Me - Both. She got shot and is in the hospital my mom won't let me go see her -_-
Jesse - She's gonna be alright right?
Me- Idk. They took her from me when they came in.
Jesse - Aww the world sucks.
Me- ikr
Me- She really freaked me out
Jesse - What'd she do? Other than get hurt?
Me- I mean like she said she loved me more than a friend.
Jesse - Did she really.
Me- Yep. She thought we weren't gonna make it. She probably didn't mean it.
Jesse - I guess.
Jesse - What if she did mean it like that?
Me-What do you mean? What if she loved me more than a friend?
Jesse - Yea that's what I said.
Me- I mean... Idk...
Jesse - Like do you love her back?
Me- Yeah I guess.
Jesse - Then the next time you see her you should talk about it.
Me- idk that's kinda weird.
Jesse - You'll be fine lol
Me- okay I'll take your word for it
Jesse - You better
Me- I will
Jesse - So wyd?
Me- Laying down. My mom's making me.
Jesse - Why?
Me- idk she wants me to eat shower and sleep. at least I did 1 out of the 3. lol
Jesse - Which one?
Me- The showering one. I was covered in Beca's blood :(
Jesse - That's so... gross...
Me-Ikr
Jesse - Well you need to sleep so I'll text you tomorrow or something okay?
I let out a sigh.
Me- Okay.
Jesse - Good sleep
Me- Thanks.
Instead of putting my phone down on the night stand and going to sleep like I should, I started going through my pictures. Pictures of me and Beca were everywhere. A picture of us laughing, one of us making ugly faces, one of us hugging, one of us where she's kissing my cheek. I raised a hand to that cheek and I felt it burn. I could feel it as if it had only happened moments ago. A tear met my cheek. "I love you too Beca."
