Chapter 2: Oh My God

Drew's POV

There goes one shot. I'm not dead or shot yet so that's a good sign. There goes another one. Then I hear the gun drop and Vince run away. Now it's safe to get up.

Eli's POV

"Is everyone ok?" I said.

Everyone nodded but I was really only worried about Clare and Adam. Clare nodded but she looked pretty shaken up but she wasn't shot so that was good. "Adam how about y-." I stood there completely shocked. My best friend, no, practically my brother lied there lifeless. Little beads of sweat starting to form on his forehead. I ran over to Adam with Clare and looked at him. His eyes were open with shock.

"Adam! Adam! Come on buddy, hang in there!" I started panicking and a big lump welled up in my throat. "GUYS!" I yelled to Drew and Katie.

"ADAM!" Drew yelled. "Oh my god this is all my fault I shouldn't have told Vince where we were. I am such an idiot!"

"D- Drew it's not your *cough* fault." We all looked to see who said that. It was Adam.

"Adam," Katie said. "Please, please don't give up on us. Drew, Eli, Clare and I are counting on you." Adam looked down. He now remembered what happened.

*Flashback* (No one's POV)

"Oh my god," Bianca said to Drew. He looked and there was Vince. He held up a gun and yelled, "Torres, I thought we made a deal and you broke it. Now I'm getting payback!" Everyone looked at the gun. Some were shocked some were surprised and they were all scared. And Drew and Bianca, they were just mad. Adam was thinking I knew it! While the only thing Eli could think of is push Adam and Clare the friends he cared about most away from the line of fire. Clare was nowhere in sight and when Eli tried to push Adam he just stood there. He tugged on his arm and called his name, but he still wouldn't move. Vince was aiming at Drew but he had a plan: aim at Drew and when he ducks move the gun to Adam his little brother. That would give him revenge to see his little brother die.

Then Drew was seen ducking. So Vince shot Adam 2 times. He didn't have good aim so he aimed his best at Adam and shot. He ended up shooting him one time in the stomach and once in the chest.

Adam was horrified and just stared at the gun. He didn't realize he was shot until he came back to his senses. He then collapsed and clutched his stomach and curled his knees to his chest. He had to fight for his life. Everyone would be upset and blaming themselves if I gave up.

*End of flashback*(Adam's POV)

"Did you call an ambulance?"

"Yeah, Adam just hang in there." Drew said.

I had to fight for my life. For Eli, Clare and especially Drew so I could make sure he knows it's not his fault. I don't want him to end up where I would be if I didn't survive. Then I heard an ambulance and the police and ambulance guys came in with a stretcher.

"We have a male about 15 years old shot in the chest and abdomen." They put me on a stretcher.

"Where are my kids?"

"Mom!" Drew ran over and hugged her. "I am so sorry this is all my fault for what happened to Adam."

I tried to speak but I couldn't. All I could do was cough. I gave a weak smile. Mom came up to me and held my head up. I tried to talk but I ended up coughing again.

"Adam, I want you to know that I love you, and if you choose to go we are ok with that," mom said. I already made my choice of not giving up. I nodded anyway though. Katie, Eli and Clare said they would meet me there while Drew and mom drove in the ambulance with me. I tried to stay conscious for as long as I could but the blood loss made me black out.

No one's POV

They rushed Adam to the hospital as quick as they could. The ER guys rushed him in the surgery room and Audra filled out the paperwork. Then the group was told to wait in the waiting room.

Drew was pacing around the waiting room as Adam was getting his surgery done. Eli was bouncing his foot around anxious to see how Adam was and Katie and Clare were holding Audra's hands which were shaking while she cried. Meanwhile, Adam was getting the bullets out of his body.

The doctor came into the waiting room. "Torres family and friends." everyone immediately stood up. "The good news is that we got the bullets out of his body. We're waiting for a blood donation that should come in the next few minutes. The bad news is that the police called and they want to take him and her down town to the police. Another girl said you might know something about the person who shot your brother." The doctor pointed at Drew and Katie.

"Wait, who exactly?" Drew asked.

"Bianca DeSousa."

Drew and Katie looked at each other. They agreed to go down to the police. They knew they wouldn't be in trouble if anyone of them it would be Bianca. They just hoped justice was done.
