The Curse

Chapter 7

Boom!

When Mark, Paul, and Chris arrived at the hospital, they didn't notice a black car following them. They walked inside and went up to John's room, who was sitting up in the bed. "Hey champ how you feeling?" Chris asked him. John looked up from his book, "I'm good just ready to get out of here." he told him putting his book on the table beside him. "What to you?" John asked Chris noticing the bruises on his face. "Well don't freak out or anything but Shawn tried to kill me!" Chris told him. John sat there in shock, "What? Why?" he asked. "He thought Paul was befriending me because he was ignoring him, which is why he shot you because he thought Paul had replaced him with you as his tag team partner." Chris told him.

John just sat there in silence, "So Shawn shot me just because I accepted to be Paul's tag team partner last night?" John asked. They all nodded their heads, "Yeah apparently he thought he was being replaced and he also tried to kill me too." Paul told him.

John was in complete shock as he started taking the iv out of his arm. "What are you doing?" Mark asked. "You three are gonna need my help to stop Shawn right?" John asked. Mark, Paul, and Chris looked at each other, "Yeah but you need to stay here, just to be..." Paul was cut off by his phone ringing. "Hello?" He answered. "Paul you have to get to the arena quick!" Stephanie told him in tears. "Why what's wrong?" He asked concerned. "Shawn is here and I think he's gonna hurt somebody, he has a gun. He's holding them hostage, and I don't know what he's gonna do to them." She told him. "Alright sweetie just stay calm okay, where are you?" Paul asked his wife. "I'm in one of the locker rooms with Alicia, Layla, and AJ." She told him. Paul nodded, "Okay, call the police and tell them what's going on!" Paul told her. "I love you!" Stephanie told him. "I love you too!" Paul told her before hanging up.

Mark and Chris saw the look on Paul's face and knew something was wrong. "Paul is everything okay?" Mark asked. "No Shawn has everybody held hostage at the arena. That was Stephanie she said that her , Alicia, Layla and AJ are in a locker room, so their safe for now. But we need to get to the arena now!" Paul told them, heading out the door. The others followed, "Hey guys wait I'm coming with you!" John yelled trying to move. Chris turned around, "No way champ, you stay here. You're in to much pain to even move. Just stay here okay, we'll call if anything happens!" Chris told him. John nodded, "Okay just be careful," John told him. "We will!" Chris told him running out the door to catch up with Mark and Paul.

Meanwhile at the arena, inside the one of the locker rooms sat Stephanie, Layla, Alicia, and AJ. Stephanie being the oldest tried to keep everyone calm. "Don't worry girls, I called the police and Paul and their on the way!" Stephanie told them comforting AJ who was crying hysterically. "What are we going to do?" Layla asked sitting next o Alicia. "We wait for help, but until then we have to stay quiet, so Shawn won't find us." Steph told her. After a few minutes of silence, AJ finally spoke up, "Why is Shawn doing this? I thought he was a good guy!" AJ asked.

"I don't know sweetie, he's not himself. It's like he's possessed or something." She told her. AJ nodded as they waited for the police and her husband to arrive...

Meanwhile inside down the hall near the arena, Shawn had the other superstars sitting against the wall on one side and the divas on the other. "Why are you doing this?" Adam asked. He had known Shawn for a long time and knew this wasn't him. Shawn bent down beside him on one knee, "Because I can!" He told him holding the gun to his face. Adam just spit at him, and when he did this Shawn hit him across the face with his gun. "Now Adam I suggest you keep your mouth shut and not say anything and if you spit in my face again next time I'll just kill you." He told him in a dark tone.

Adam just looked in horror as he held the side of his face in pain. Jason saw this and wanted to check on his friend, but before he could walk over towards him, Shawn spoke without turning around,"Jason you take one more step and you'll be dead." he told him still facing Adam. Jason gulped before sitting back down where he was at.

Finally Paul, Mark, and Chris arrived and walked inside. They walked towards the locker room where Stephanie, Alicia, Layla, and AJ were hiding. Paul walked up to the door and knocked three times. Layla heard the knocks and looked over at Stephanie. She nodded as she had told them that Paul had texted her and said he would knock three times in sequence, so she would know it was them.

Layla opened the door, "Hey girls anybody need to be rescued?" Paul asked smiling. "Oh thank god it's you guys!" Layla told him giving him a hug. "Don't worry we're getting you all out of here!" Mark told him. "Where are the others?" Chris asked. "Shawn has them down the hall at gunpoint!" AJ told him. "How did you four get away?" Mark asked them. "We were coming back from a photo shoot when we heard Shawn yelling, I peeked around the corner and saw him with the gun. So I grabbed AJ , Layla, and Alicia and we all ran down here to the locker room." Steph told him.

They all nodded, "Shawn didn't see you did he?" Asked Paul. "No!" AJ told him. "Good go outside to the car and stay there, until the police come." Paul told them. "But what about you three?" Alicia asked. "We'll be fine, I promise!" Paul told her. They nodded as they headed outside, Stephanie stopped at the door and kisses her husband, "Be careful!" She told him. "I will, I love you!" He spoke softly. "I love you too!" She told him going out the door.

As the guys prepared for a fight, no knew what was about to happen next. As they were walking to where Shawn was, they heard a loud explosion. "BOOM!"
