Alrighty so here we go~
Still Killian's POV
I saw tears welling up in her eyes and she didn't look me in the eye. She covered her mouth with her hand and my smile faded quickly. Oh my god. I proposed and she's probably going to turn me down. I was beginning to get back up to my seat when she threw her arms around me and said, "Yes! A thousand times yes."
A large breath escaped from me and I clutched her to me, unable to say anything at the moment. Then she kissed my cheek and then sat back down. I slid the little ring onto her little finger and she pulled her hand up to her face to look at it. She started silently crying again, but this time with a smile. The engagement ring has been passed down the family tree for generations: each upcoming queen receives it. It was a thin gold band with a diamond in the middle, encircled by other little diamonds. She stood up with me and I embraced her. I held her so close to me, there wasn't space for air between us. I breathed in the scent of vanilla and let her hair fall in my face, I held her for what seemed an eternity. I lifted her off her feet and spun around; creating an unforgettable giggle from my future wife.
"Why don't we skip dinner, and just go walk around the square?" She said with an unbelievably large smile.
"I'd love to." I said. We locked our hands with each other and left to the square. She leaned up against me as we walked. "Killian, I love you."
"And I love you, Mer." She sighed in happiness and then responded, "We're getting married. We're getting married!" She stopped walking and spun around, stopping herself when we were face to face. As soon as she stopped, she leaped onto me in a kiss. She held herself up, her toes balancing on top of my feet, and I dipped her backwards a bit. She smiled against my lips and whispered, "Lets go home."
"You read my mind." I whispered back. She giggled and we found a way to the car. Once we got there I opened the door for her. She smiled at me and said, "Why thank you my-" she flung backwards and a loud ringing noise filled my ears. Blood loved around her right shoulder; she was shot. Body guards that had been trailing behind us ran in the direction of the shot. I picked her up and got in the car. The driver sped away to a nearby hospital. I could still hear the sound of the gunshot in my ears and I could feel America's blood on my hands. I ripped her dress as the car drives me inspected the wound. The bullet was broken in little pieces in her shoulder and the blood was pouring out in an alarming amount.
She hadn't made a sound until now: she started sobbing, realizing what hadhappened. "Killian, help me. Please." She wimpered.
"I know I know, Mer. I'm trying, We're on our way. Im so sorry. I'm so sorry."
"It hurts so bad-" she interrupted herself and cried out in pain. I cringed at the sound of her misery and pressed the gas harder. I zoomed into the hospital parking lot and carried America in. Doctors immediately took her in the gurney through the closed doors. I tried to with them but a nurse stopped me.
"I'm sorry sir, even though you are the prince, you can't go back there. Let me go check and see how long they will have her. Please wait here." She said sternly. I shrunk one of the green, worn out chairs. She disappeared behind the doors and as she did, I heard a deafening scream escape. America. How did inlet this happen to her? Today was supposed to be full of love and happiness. But instead it was now a day of pain. At least the end of it anyway. The nurse appeared before me again and said, "Your Highness... she's going to be here all night. The bullet shards got really deep into her arm. If we don't get them out it could be infected."
I nodded, incapable of doing anything else. I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, trying to find the impossible sleep.
POV SWITCH to America
All I could feel was pain. Burning hot pain. It felt like someone had lit a cigar and pressed it against my skin. Tears flooded my face and blood flooded my chest. I couldn't make out anything, not anything in particular anyways. White walls, people, pain. That's all I could feel. The more the pain grew, the more I thought back to the time I got shot in Angeles. It was nothing compared to the wound I had now. But soon the pain killer kicked in and it only felt like a bee sting. I tried to fall asleep, hoping rest would somehow heal me but every time I would try to they would wake me up, saying "Stay with me America." I tried to tell them I'm not going anywhere; not as long as Killian's here. That I just wanted to sleep. But nothing came ever came out.
Hour after hour they worked on me. Retrieving the broken shards of the bullet from my shoulder. Ten minutes later it stopped. "America. We are done with the procedure but you have to stay here over night. Tomorrow morning we can transfer you to the palace where we will have other doctors monitoring you." A nurse said. I nodded so weakly that I she might not have seen but it didn't look like she cared. I was kept in my room and all the blood and instruments had been removed. They turned off the lights and I was suddenly pulled into a deep and heavy sleep.
