"It Was Supposed to Be Me!"

Summary: Right after Roger crashes Mindy and Nick's engagement party, Holly followed him. What happens when the shooter shoots the wrong person? Oooo there's gonna be trouble! AU…I think.

A/N- I know this is sort of out of character for them but I had this brainstorm and I just had to test it out.

Chapter 1 Holly's POV

I watched in horror as the man I have loved all my life stood at the top of the stairs, taunting and facing off with Alexandra and anyone else who came in his line of fire. Billy Lewis was ready to murder him. I ran in and tried to hold Billy back, trying to keep him from hurting Roger, not just because Billy could be charged with assault and that would break Mindy's heart, but Roger could get hurt. I didn't want that. As I tried to hold Billy back, I turned around and met Roger's intense eyes filled with anger. But when he met mine, they went soft.

"Roger! Go! Get out of here, please darling!" His eyes widened at the endearment and he began to make his way down the stairs but not before pushing a few other people out of the way. Not really thinking about what would happen, I followed him. It was easy to get away with all the commotion that had been happening.

I ran into the hall but I didn't see him. I saw a waiter walking toward me. I ran up to him and asked him if he had seen Mr. Thorpe.

"Yes, Ms. Lindsey. He ran past me not twenty seconds ago." I thanked him and followed to where he had pointed. He was going outside. I needed to talk to him. Something inside me told me that I needed to get to him before something happened.

I ran outside and saw him heading toward the potting shed. I wonder why he is going out there for. I walked in the shed behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. He nearly jumped 10 feet in the air and spun around.

"Holly! What are you doing here?" he asked looking a little more than spooked. I saw his eyes and they still made me weak in the knees.

"I got worried about you after that incident in there and I was just making sure you were alright." I replied, gently putting a hand on his arm.

Roger's POV

I had gone out to the potting shed to look for Bess. I also needed to get some air and do some serious thinking. Instead of letting Billy tear me apart, she held Billy back and told me to go. And she called me "darling". That is the thing that threw me off the most. Holly and I have such a history, good and bad, that I can't read her sometimes.

As I was pondering the mystery that was Holly Lindsey, I felt someone tap my shoulder and I nearly jumped out of my skin. I spun around to see the very person that was on my mind behind me.

"Holly! What are you doing here?" I exclaimed, trying to catch my breath. She smiled gently and placed her hand on my arm.

"I got worried about you after that incident in there and I was just making sure you were alright." she replied, tilting her head slightly in a way that made me want to grab her and kiss her senseless.

"I am fine. I shouldn't have lost my temper like that. She started it, if that helps any." I saw that beautiful Holly smile appear on her face as I said that.

"Yes, well Alexandra has been known to start trouble before. I just don't want any repercussions to come about because she decides to throw a temper tantrum." I grinned at her concern and took her hand that was still on my arm.

"Don't you worry Holly, everything is going to be ok. Spaulding is coming down tomorrow and then it will be all over."

"I hope so." She said as she stepped in front of me to look me right in the eye.

"As much as we have been through these past years, I have always…" Her words were cut short as a gun was fired into the potting shed. Holly's eyes grew wide as she fell into my arms. I reached around her back to steady her and when I pulled my hand back, it was covered in blood. Holly had been shot!
