"Lucas," Brooke screamed as she watched the blood fill his shirt.
Lucas touched his stomach with his hands and brought them back. Blood covered the tips of his fingers. A disgusted look filled his face as he noticed the gushing blood. He swaggered on his feet for a second and fell backwards.
Everything seamed in slow motion to Haley as Lucas fell backwards. "No," she screamed running up to him.
Doug grabbed her before she reached Lucas. "Sit down," he screamed.
"He's my best friend, you have to let me help him,"she pleaded.
"I don't have to do anything," he said meanly.
She broke from his grip and tried reaching Lucas on the floor, he grabbed her again. He slapped her across the face. "Sit down," he yelled.
"Hey," screamed Nathan as he ran to Haley's side.
"Does everyone think this is some big joke?" Doug screamed furiously. "One more person moves and you end up like blondie over here."
Lucas held his stomach in pain. He laid alone in the middle in the floor bleeding hard.
Doug walked up to Lucas and kicked him in the side. "Not so tough now," he tormented. Lucas cried in pain as Doug kicked him over and over.
"Stop," screamed Brooke. "Please."
"Your girlfriend wants me to stop Lucas," laughed Doug. He let out a loud laugh and kicked Lucas even harder this time. Lucas let out a loud scream.
Haley began crying for Lucas.
"Stop," yelled Nathan.
Lucas started crying hard as the pain erupted in his body.
Doug went to kick Lucas again but Tom stopped him.
"You kick him again and I kick you," threatened Tom.
Doug nodded and backed off. He wasn't going to make his older brother mad.
Tom walked up to Lucas and knelled next to him. He felt really guilty, he never intended on shooting anyone. He reached out to touch Luke's stomach but Luke grabbed his arm and stopped him.
"Relax kid, I'm not going to hurt you," he promised.
Lucas glared at Tom. "Sure you say that after you shoot me."
Tom had to agree the kid had a point. He wouldn't have been that trusting either if he was in that situation. "Brooke come and help your boyfriend," ordered Tom as he backed up away from Lucas.
Lucas shot him a confused look. Why was he being nice?
Brooke ran over to Lucas and knelled next to him. "Lucas are you ok?" she cried.
He rubbed her cheek with his thumb. "I'm ok if you are," he said in a hoarse voice.
"Oh Lucas, you'll be ok," she promised. She kissed his cheek. "Thanks for helping me baby."
"I would never let anyone hurt you," he promised. He began coughing loudly,making his wound hurt even more. He closed his eyes hoping the pain would quit.
"Lucas baby don't close your eyes," she cried. "Please stay awake."
Lucas faintly opened his eyes to please Brooke. "It hurts so bad," he cried.
Brooke lifted up Luke's head and laid it in her lap trying to make him comfortable.
Police cars swarmed the gym at that time. Tom called the cops again. "You got my cash?" he asked.
"You let the kids go and we'll give you the money," the police bargained.
"Wrong, you give us the money now or we blow off their heads," he yelled.
"Wait don't do that," yelled the cop on the receiving end.
"Look I'm a fair guy, just give me the money and I'll let the kids go," he promised. "I don't want to be stopped when I leave either."
"OK, come out and we'll give you the money," ordered the cop. "Is everyone ok?"
Tom hung up the phone and looked at Nathan. "Go out there and get my money," he ordered. "You don't come back in 10 minutes your brother dies."
Nathan looked over at Lucas and saw his chalky color. He followed Tom's orders and went outside to grab the money.
When he got outside cops from every angle grabbed him.
"Son are you ok?" asked the cops."Is anyone hurt in there? They swamped him with questions.
"Do you guys have the money to give me?" he asked frantically.
"Are you hurt?" they asked again.
"No," he screamed. "I need to bring them the money so give it to me."
"We didn't bring any money," informed the cop. "Were not going to pay them, we figured they'll give up and receiving everyone sooner or later."
"What," yelled Nathan. "I have to go back in there."
Dan walked up to his son and wrapped him in his arms. "Thank god your ok," he whispered to his son.
"I have to go back and bring them money," yelled Nathan.
"Your not going back in there," yelled Dan.
"I have to, Lucas was shot and needs help," insisted Nathan.
"Not our problem," Dan said taking Nathan by the arm.
"Let me go," yelled Nathan. He broke free from Dan's grip and walked back towards the gym when a cop stopped him.
"We can't put you in danger and let you go back in there," informed the police officer.
"I have to," screamed Nathan ."Let me go. I have to save my brother."
