Alright, guys, sorry for that cliffhanger... Only one person guessed what happened right, and I'll tell you who at the end of the chapter. :] Thank you so much for all the reviews! I hope you like this!
I don't own Big Time Rush.
Kendall curled up in a ball on the floor, his eyes squeezed shut. He refused to open his them, because he didn't want to see his sister covered in her own blood, dead on the floor. He just wanted it all to end. He wanted them to shoot him, kill him. He waited and waited for the sound of another gunshot, but it didn't come. He squeezed his eyes shut even tighter and prayed that it would come.
However, as he cried on the ground, he realized someone else was crying. And it wasn't him. It wasn't Katie, either.
It was Mrs. Winters.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Kendall slowly uncurled himseld and looked up to find a police officer kneeling down beside him. Confused, he looked around the dirty, old room. He saw Mr. Winters on the ground, blood flowing from his chest, and Mrs. Winters crying over his body. He stared with wide eyes before forcing himself to look over at the place where Katie was undoubtly laying. He blinked in surprise when he saw that she looked the same as before. No more blood, no bullet anywhere in her body. He sighed in relief, pushing the police officer aside and scrambling over to her. A few other cops were standing around her, but he pushed them out of the way and scooped her into his arms.
"Katie, come on, Baby Sister, answer me," he whispered. "Please, Katie, open your eyes..." he begged. Tears leaked out of his own as he stared down at her. "Don't leave me, Baby Sister, please! Come on, open your eyes! Answer me, Katie!" he shouted. He pulled her closer to him and hugged her tightly. "You can't leave me...please..."
"Sir, we have to get her to the hospital," someone said from behind him. He turned around and nodded slowly as a few more tears fell down his cheeks. One of the police men tried to take Katie from him, but he tightened his grip on her and turned away.
"Please, we're going to get her out of here," he said softly. Kendall shook his head, not trusting anyone. "Sir, please, just-"
"No! I-I can get her there myself!" he cried. He quickly got to his feet, and holding Katie bridal-style, followed the cops out of the building. He cradled his sister in his arms, tears flowing freely from his eyes.
Suddenly, Katie stirred a bit in his arms, and her eyes opened slightly. "Kendall...?" she whispered. Kendall squeezed her in his arms.
"I got you, Katie, I got you... You're okay," he cooed, staring down at her dirty, bloody face. He noticed her beginning to close her eyes again and started to panic. "Stay with me, Baby Sister, please. Don't go to sleep, Katie," he whispered. He rushed after the police as they opened the door, and as soon as he stepped outside, he was bombarded by his friends.
"Did you get her? Is she okay?"
"Kendall! I thought you were gonna be dead!"
"Are you guys okay? Did they-"
"We're fine!" Kendall interrupted. However, fear flooded his heart when he realized Katie's eyes were closed again.
All of the sudden, before Kendall could stop them, a group of paramedics took Katie from him. He dashed after them and watched as they loaded her into the ambulance. He climbed in after them and stood beside her, holding her hand in both of his as fresh tears raced down his cheeks. He shook from head to toe, praying that she would be okay and hoping the Winters would be gone for good. Either in jail or dead, he didn't care. He just wanted all of this to end.
He was unexpectedly pushed aside by a paramedic, and he fell onto the ground. He backed up against the wall of the vehicle and watched the man inspect his sister. Sobs wracked his body, and tears clouded his vision.
Please don't die...
He felt as if he was a little kid again as he sobbed on the ground. He wanted his mother to hold him and tell him everything was alright, but he also wanted to hold his sister in his arms and tell her everthing was alright. He hated sitting there, unable to do anything.
"Don't die, Katie, please don't die..." he whispered.
"Are you okay, sweetie?"
Kendall glanced up to find a nice-looking woman standing over him. He ignored her question, furiously wiping his eyes.
"I-is she g-gonna b-be okay?" he choked out, his eyes shining with hope. The lady gave him a sympathetic smile, and she nodded.
"I think she'll be fine," she replied, "but...we don't know for sure," she added. Kendall closed his eyes and dropped his head in his hands. He couldn't lose her. Not after everything that had just happened. Not after everything they had been through. She didn't deserve this. Sure, she may have scammed a lot of people and taken their money, but she was just a little girl. And although she seemed tough on the outside, Kendall knew she was innocent and kind on the inside.
"Please...please d-don't let h-her die!" he sobbed. "I-I c-can't lose her! P-please! D-don't l-let her d-die!"
The woman rubbed his arm, her heart breaking at the sight of the teenager. "We won't, we won't," she assured him. "It's okay, calm down," she soothed. Kendall rubbed his eyes and sniffled. Slowly, he peeked through his arms and looked at Katie. He sighed when he saw he lying perfectly still, and he immediately looked away.
Before he knew it, the ambulance was parked outside of the hospital, and Katie was no longer right in front of him. Once again, she was gone. He quickly jumped out of the truck and ran through the doors, finding that his friends were already inside waiting for him, along with his mother and Alicia. Katie was nowhere to be seen.
Mrs. Knight instantly wrapped her son in her arms and kissed him over and over again. "Kendall, I'm so sorry, sweetheart, I was so stupid!" she exclaimed.
Kendall ignored her and fell into her arms, sobbing into her shoulder. "She...she c-can't d-die, Mom! Please, d-don't let h-her d-die, I c-can't lose h-her!"
"I know, honey, I know. She'll be okay," she whispered. "Don't cry, you gotta be strong for her. Shh..." she soothed, rubbing his back gently. He eventually calmed down and pulled away.
"I'm sorry..." he mumbled. She smiled at him, tears shining in her own eyes.
"Don't apologize, Kendall, you saved her!" she exclaimed. He smiled a little, nodding.
Mrs. Knight led him over to the chairs, and the six of them sat down and waited. Hours passed, but to Kendall, it felt more like days until finally, the doctor came out and called his sister's name.
This frusterated me, and I really don't know why. But I think I liked it. I know it was really sad and a little short, but something kinda sad happened to me today, so that's pretty much why. Sorry for the wait, too, my life is kinda hectic... But, I hope you all liked it! :]
