Kim POV
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me over to Jack. He was just lying there. No one had moved after the gun shot had gone off. I land on my knees right next to Jack and grabbed his hand. His eyes were now shut. Josh had turned to see what had happened, but I wasn't even looking.
I checked Jack's pulse. It was there but very slow.
"Jack, no, Jack oh my god" I was muttering like crazy but I didn't care.
"Why did you do this?" I screamed at my father. Tears were streaming down my face.
"Kim I-" he started.
"NO. I don't want to hear any of your lame excuses. You've shot him and he is only just alive. I hate you" I yelled at him. He looked like his heart had broken but I didn't care. I looked round at everyone else. Grace was crying onto Jerry, who looked like he was just about to cry.
"Someone help me" I yelled. Everyone's senses seem to kick in. Melissa, Josh and Arthur all came running over to me and Jack. Jack still wasn't moving.
"Someone take him out of this room. Put him in the prison and throw away the key, for all I care" Josh yelled. 3 of his guards ran up to my Dad and dragged him out of the room. He didn't even struggle. I was hoping that was because of my words.
"Kim, he has a pulse. But we need to get him to the infirmary or he will die" Melissa said. I felt for his pulse again. It was even slower than before.
"Boys take Jack to the infirmary and be careful" Josh said. 2 guards picked him up, carefully and walked out of the room. I looked at where he was and could see a large patch of blood. Jack's blood.
I didn't realise I was sobbing until I felt arms wrapping around me.
"It'll be fine Kimmy" Ashton said. I sobbed heavily into his shoulder.
"He's not going to be alright. And it's my fault" I said.
"It's not your fault Kim. It's mine. If Kevin and I had sorted everything out with each other years ago then, none of this would've happened. I'm so sorry" Josh said behind me.
Ashton picked me up into his arms. He walked me out of the building and into Josh's house. I was taken up into my room and placed on my bed. I laid down and sobbed into my pillow whilst Ashton rubbed my back. After a few minutes I calmed myself down, whilst heaving every few minutes.
"I can't lose him, like I lost Mum" I said.
My mother died by being shot. Our house was attacked when I was younger. My Mum had hidden Ash and me in a secret cupboard. I heard her talking, a bang, a scream and then silence. Our father returned hours later. I heard everything they said.
But I can't lose Jack. I love him.
"You won't lose him. They've taken him to the infirmary" Ash muttered.
"And what about you?" I said quietly.
"I'm not going anywhere" he said back.
I laid down again. I realised how tired I actually was.
"Kimmy I'm going to leave you for a while. I want you to get some sleep" Ash muttered. He kissed my forehead, shut my curtains and left.
I laid down and shut my eyes.
