Blink Of An Eye
This is two part story, semi-inspired by the Tucson shooting, it isn't similar to that. I tried to do that, but I couldn't. So I came up with something different. I hope everyone likes it.
Blair and Chuck were walking home from the movies. It was a nice night, so Chuck figured that it would be a good idea to walk home.
"Chuck, do you love me?" Blair asked.
"Chuck sighed, "Of, course, Blair, I do love you." Chuck was annoyed because Blair asked him every time she could, it was starting to get old.
Blair contemplated asking Chuck whether they should get married, they had been living together for about three years, on the outside it seemed like they were together, but on the inside they were further apart then two people should be. It wasn't really their faults', Blair going to school at Columbia and Chuck working non-stop at Bass Industries. Blair would try to ask, but Chuck would say they're fine the way they are.
As they walked down the street, Blair felt safe with Chuck. Until they turned the corner and had gun thrust upon at them.
"Okay, hand over jewelery, money, everything. Come on, let's go now." the masked gunman said to Blair.
They both slowly began to hand over jewelery, Blair didn't want to part with her engagement ring, but Chuck made her. Chuck handed over his watch, his class ring, and then his money clip full of money; about $1,600.
"Now, you, hand over your purse." the gunman said to Blair.
"No, I'm not going to." Blair said defiantly.
"Blair, just hand over it over, please." Chuck whispered.
"Give me the purse, or I'll shoot." the gunman said.
"No, I'm not going to." Blair said defiantly.
"Blair!" Chuck said frustrated.
"Okay, I'll hand it over." Blair said, giving in.
As Blair began to hand over her Prada handbag, a scuffle broke out, it was a huge blur, gunfire erupted, screams. When the smoke had cleared and the robber ran away, chuck was lying on the ground, shot, bleeding.
Blair dropped to the ground, trying to assess Chuck's injuries, he was losing blood fast. She had tears in her eyes.
"Chuck, please wake up, I love you. I didn't want this happen. I love you." Blair sobbed.
She began to tie her jacket around him to stop the blood flow, he was shot twice, once in the stomach, one in the chest. It really wasn't looking too good.
"Oh, God Blair, please this hurts so bad." Chuck moaned.
"I know...I know it hurts, I'm trying to help you." Blair said starting to cry again.
"Listen, if I don't make it -" Chuck began to say.
"No, no, Chuck, you will make it." Blair said, shaking her head to fight away the tears.
Blair, please listen to me, if I don't make it, I want you to know that I really love you." Chuck rasped, almost out of breath. "I wouldn't change a second of our relationship. I mean that, Blair, I really do. You're the best thing that happened to me."
The sounds of ambulances filled the night air as chuck closed his eyes, Blair hoped it wasn't the last time. As she got into the ambulance with him, she kissed his hand and held it in hers, Blair was surprised by how cold it was now; probably due to the blood loss. As she held his hand, she prayed that she could spend the rest of her life with him. Blair wished that this was all a bad dream and that she would wake up soon.
A/N: This is part one, I'm writing part two currently. It will be up soon. Please tell me what you think of it. It's going to be a heavy story, I'm thinking about writing something light to counterbalance this story. I've got to go finishing writing part two. Thanks for reading.
