Chapter 13
Nick's POV
"Get away for her." I yell. "You little boy can't tell me to do anything." He says as he slaps my cheek. "Oh, that's it." I state as I punch him in the face. "Nick! Don't! He could hurt you!" She explains. "Miley, I can't let him get away with this." I tell her. "Uncle, don't hurt him. I know what you want." She says. "Give me the money you brat! You don't deserve a penny of it." He yells. "You don't deserve any of it either." She states. He reaches into his coat pocket "That's it! No more nice uncle!" He yells as he pulls out a gun. "You realize that if you shoot me, you'll have so many lawsuits, that you would be bankrupt." I inform him. "Who says I was going to shoot ya!" he states. "Well that's what a gun does genius." I say sarcastically. "Nicholas, don't act smart with a guy with a gun." Miley says sounding like a caring mother. "I want your parents money." He yells. "And I'll do anything to get it." He laughs evilly. "Why do you want that money for?" She asks. "I want to buy a liquor store so I can get free booze." He explains. "Did you ever think about why I need that money? I need money for college or university." Miley says. "Well I don't really care about your happiness." He shrugs. He gets his gun ready to shoot. Miley gets scared. Honestly, I'm kinda scared too. I don't want her hurt. Just the thought of seeing her hurt makes me tense up. He points his gun towards Miley and shoots.
Joe's POV
Nick has been gone for hours. Kevin seems tense. "Where is Miss Miley?" Frankie asks. "We're not sure where she is." I tell him. "Where is Nicholas at?" he asks. "I think he's gone for a drive." I tell him. I assume he didn't find Miley yet since he hasn't called me or texted Kevin. Suddenly the phone rings. I rush to answer it and I put it on speaker. "Hey what's up?" I say hoping its Nick. "That is no way to talk to your mother." She states. "Hello mother, what is going on? I say correcting myself. "I need to talk to Nicholas right now!" She demands. "Sorry mother. He's out right now." I explain to her. "Tell him to call me when he gets back." She tells me. "Mom seemed really angry." Kevin states. " "Heck yeah, She seemed like she was going to blow up or something." I say. "I think I know why." Kevin exclaims. "Why Kevin?" I ask. "It's Nick breaking up with Selena." He states. Of course…..SHIT when she gets home I think it will be the start of World War 3.
Miley's POV
The bullet is coming near me. I scream loudly.
Nick's POV
I see the bullet nearing. I hear her scream. Then I do the thing I never thought I would do for a girl, I push her away and let the bullet hit me. "Nick!" she screams/ Her uncle runs off as Miley rushes over. I see blood coming from my upper leg. This idiot has such bad aim. She gasps as she sees all the blood. "Nick, you need to call an ambulance." She says as she takes off her sweater. She ties her sweater around my leg. I hand her my cell phone from my jacket.
Miley's POV
I start by calling Kevin's cell phone since it was the easiest to find in the built in directory. He picks up. "Hello" He says. "Nick has been shot. We're in the cemetery." I panic. "We'll be right there." He says. "Wait, One of your stay with Frankie." I state. I hang up. "Nick, I need you to stay awake and don't move your leg." I tell him. I see the pain on his face. I see Kevin running over. 'What the hell happened?" Kevin asks. "It's too long to explain right now. Help me lift him into the back seat of his truck." I tell him. "I think we should call 911." Kevin states. "Are you sure? I thought you couldn't…" Miley starts. "Right now I only care about Nick." Kevin explains as he dials 911. We see ambulances rush to the scene then a few police officers come over as well. "What happened?" A police officer asks me. Nick tires to answer but I tell him to save his energy. "My uncle kidnapped me. Nick saved me, and then I asked Nick to bring me here to se my dead mother. All of a sudden, my uncle comes over with a gun. He talked about my inheritance and what he is going to do with it even if it's mine." I explain. "So this guy is an innocent bystander?" He questions. "Well no, because he was the one who saved me from him. The he pushed me out if the way of the bullet and instead of me getting shot…he got shot." I continue. The policeman sees the gun. "Is this your gun or your uncle's gun?" The policeman asks. "It's my uncle's gun. That was used to shoot Nick." I explain. He takes the gun and he puts it in a plastic bag. The nurses get him on a stretcher and send him away to the hospital. "Kevin, I'll stay with Frankie. After all, it's what I'm paid to do. I'll send Joe over once I get back home. " I tell Kevin. "What about Nick's truck?" He questions. "I can drive you and the truck home." The policeman offers. "That would be great…Thanks." I say politely. On the way to the truck, I see Joe's phone in pieces…Shit! I'm in trouble. I show the officer to the house. He parks the truck. "The other officers are bringing me my car. Don't go far. We'll need to question you." The officer explains. I enter the house to see Joe with an angry face. Where is my cell phone Miley?" his voice boomed. "Well, I lost it and it's in multiple pieces on the side of the road." I admit. "WHAT! Are your fu¢ked! That has important numbers in it!" He yells. "Joesph, Your brother is in the hospital. Yell at me later." I state as I give him his keys.
