Chapter 8: On The Run

Sonny ran frantically down the street, looking over her shoulder, hoping that Maero wasn't right on her int the shadow of the night time. She ducked in the alley as a car drove by, slowly. She took a deep breath before stepping out onto the street again. Looking around, she saw a pay phone. In a hurry, she ran to it, and began to dial Jeff's number. Looking around, she gasped when he picked up.

"Hello?" Jeff answered.

"Jeff, it's me." Sonny said emotionally.

"Sonny!? My god, where the hell are you!? Are you all right?" Jeff asked quickly.

"No, I'm not." Sonny said, crying. "He...he...tried to rape me. I just got away from him a little while ago."

"Sonny. Where are you?" Jeff asked, trying to calm here down

"I don't know!" Sonny screamed. "He's after me and if I don't get away-"

"Sonny? Sonny!?" Jeff screamed.

"He's found me! He's coming!" Sonny screamed. Jeff heard Sonny drop the phone, and run away.

"Sonny!" Jeff screamed one last time. Then he heard a voice come onto the phone.

"Sonny?" Jeff said hopefully.

"No, but I am sure that I will give her your love."

Those were the last words before the line went dead. Jeff had to find her before Maero took another life.


Sonny ran until she literally couldn't anymore. She looked around to make sure that Maero wasn't on her. Figuring that she had a minute to rest, she ducked in a pathway, and collapsed on the ground. She pulled her knees to her chest, and began to cry uncontrollably. She couldn't believe that her last image of Christian was going to be him lying on the street bleeding. God knows that Maero would have killed him then if she wasn't there.

Just the thought of Christian now being dead, caused her to cry even harder. She looked up, just trying to find some clue about where in the hell she was. Wiping the tears from her eyes, she looked at a sign, and sighed miserably.

"Man, I am far away." She said to herself. She leaned against a wall, and tried to think about what she was going to do next. Right when she thought of something, however...

"There's the prettiest girl in Hollywood." A ominous voice called out to her. Sonny looked up, and saw Maero standing a few feet from her.

"Now you should know better than that, to run away from someone who is talking to you." Maero smiled. Sonny began to back away from him, as Maero advanced on her. She looked back towards the wooded area, and sprinted towards it. Maero laughed as he chased after her.

"Don't worry my sweet, I will save you!" Maero called after her.

Little did they know, Jeff by pure blind luck pulled right onto the street adjacent of Sonny and Maero, and saw the scene unfold.

"Gotcha, you son of a bitch." Jeff said, he grabbed his gun, hopped out of his car, and darted into the woods.


Sonny collapsed on the ground, not being able to run any more. She literally had nothing left in her, and if Maero would have come up on her, that would have been it for her. She pulled herself to her feet, and looked around. Just as she was about to move again, someone grabbed her around her neck, and whispered in her ear.

"Now I can finished what I started." Maero whispered in her ear.

"Please..." Sonny pleaded.

"Let her go Maero." Jeff said, as he approached, gun drawn.

"Come on cop, you can't hit me without hitting her." Maero taunted. "You are just mad that I killed your nephew, and I am going to kill his girlfriend, too."

"You are really pushing it, drop the gun." Jeff said, trying to find any reason to end Maero's life, right here.

"If you are going to shoot me, SHOOT ME!!!" Maero screamed, throwing Sonny aside. Then, out of seemingly nowhere...

BANG.

Jeff stood there, shocked, and watched Maero stand for about three seconds after the gunshot rang out, and fall to the ground, dead. Sonny scampered to Jeff, and looked at Maero, they both looked up and saw who killed Maero.

"Christian." Sonny said, running over and literally throwing herself onto him. She cried into him happily as she knew that her whole ordeal was over. Christian smiled, and slid into blackness...


Man, this has not been one of my better weeks, that's for sure. I was shot multiple times, that was bad, but I survived (how did that happen, I would never know). I saved my girlfriend from a sick killer, who also tried to end my life. Man, how do I keep escaping death is really beyond me. Some people say that Michael (my cousin) and I are like cockroaches, if there is a nuclear war, we will be the only ones left standing. Man, life's sometimes a lot more than a bitch, it can be a real motherfucker...


Christian slowly opened his eyes, and realized that he was back in the hospital. Christian was in a little bit of pain, being shot multiple times will do that to you. He sat up, and looked around. Just as he was about to lay back down, Connie and Jeff walked in.

"How are you feeling?" Jeff asked.

"I've been better." Christian answered. Connie came over, and placed a quick peck on his forehead.

"Thanks for everything." Connie said. "I'm really glad that Sonny is with you."

"Thanks." Christian said. "That really means a lot to me."

"Come on, let him get some rest." Jeff said, pulling Connie towards the door. Jeff hit the light, and Christian laid back, and closed his eyes.


Christian woke up about a few hours later, and saw Sonny standing at the door.

"What are you doing here?" Christian asked softly.

"I thought that I lost you." Sonny said softly. "I couldn't bear losing you again..."

"You won't Sonny. That I promise you." Christian said. Sonny walked over, and kissed him.

"We are really something, aren't we?" Sonny asked.

"If something, you mean "young and indestructible, then yeah." Christian said. Sonny laughed, and hugged him.
