Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of so weird, I only own the plot... I also own the characters Constance and Michelle Burke (2 characters I probably will use often in my later pieces, mostly Constance). I WISH I OWNED CAREY! I LOVE HIM! okay now with the fic....
The crowd around the three (Annie, Jack, and the man with the gun) were screaming and scrambling to get away from the sounds of gunfire.
"ANNIE!!! JACK!!" Molly was running in with the paramedics when she heard the gunshot, but was drawn back by the crowds of people either running out of the mall or surrounding the 3 involved with the hostage. Michelle was lying on the ground as 2 of the meds went to her aid. Four meds also went to the direction of the first victim not so far.
"We've got a gunshot wound to the shoulder," the meds were aiding a dark haired man that was now convulsing. "We need to get him to the hospital ASAP." They took a stretcher and placed him on it, and with that they pushed him to the exit of the mall.
"We have a young blonde here who seems to have fainted," another med commented.
"We're taking this one to the ambulance, we just need some supplies there." They lifted Michelle and put her on a stretcher.
"Annie!" Molly quickly got through the mounds of people surrounding the scene. She hurried over to the blonde figure on the ground. "Is she okay?" she asked looking at the medics.
"Yea, she just fainted." said one of the meds trying to wake her up.
Molly sighed and looked around. "Jack?! Jack?!" by this time she was panicking, trying to find her only son.
"Excuse me who are you looking for?" one of the meds turned and asked her.
Molly looked at him with wide eyes."M-my son... he's about well 5'8, has dark hair..." she trailed off then regained her sentence,"h-he was with Michelle and Annie."
The med just looked at her and sighed..."I'm sorry to tell you miss but...well we just carried off a man that fits your description to the ambulance, they're on their way to the hospital."
"Hospital?! W-what happened?!" Molly was so scared, she couldn't think straight, and her eyes soon welled up with tears.
"I'm sorry miss.... it seemed to be a gunshot wound to the shoulder... and I think he was convulsing, we had to get him there quick." The med put his hand on her shoulder as Molly started to break down crying. "I'm sorry," was all the med could say anymore. He set her down on a nearby bench as he left with the rest of the medics.
*I don't believe this... I've lost another man in my life..* Molly thought sobbing.
"Mom? What's wrong?" a familiar voice said behind her. Soon a warm hand was on her shoulder. Molly whirled around.
"JACK?!" she jumped in the air and hugged her son so tight he barely could breathe.
"Mom, Mom... what's wrong?" Jack breathed out with all he could.
"Jack... I thought you went to the hospital... they said you were shot... you were convulsing... I-I thought I lost you..." Molly rambled on letting go of Jack and wiping her eyes.
"Mom... it's okay... I'm fine, the man that shot the lady before... he was the one sent to the hospital. He took Annie hostage, and when I ran to, well, "free" her one of the police officers shot the man in the shoulder... he dropped the gun, and Annie fainted as soon as she heard the gunshot again." Jack explained as he sat next to his mother.
"B-but where were you? I mean when I got here you weren't here. Annie was lying on the ground, Michelle was gone, I think they took her to the ambulance... I mean... where did you go?" Molly asked confused.
"Well I went to the ambulance with Michelle... they needed someone to tell them what happened to her so I went with them for a moment. The meds said they would help Annie." Jack said with a reassuring smile. "Relax mom, everything's fine." With that she got up and smiled back at Jack. "Umm.... mom... by the way, where is Annie anyways?" Jack said as they started to walk towards the exit.
"I think she went to the bathroom. She wanted to wash her face, I think she was still shocked from what happened. I yelled at her to meet me in the car... then the med told me about you and I had to sit down... I figured 'yea, cry... and wait til Annie comes back'." She said walking on with Jack. There was a moment of silence as Molly could see her son was in deep thought.
"Mom.... should I..." he trailed off and looked at her for an answer. He knew even though he hadn't finished his sentence she knew anyway.
"I think," she said putting her hand on his shoulder, "you should go for it." she grinned. They walked slowly to the car in silence. Once they got there they saw Michelle leaning on the car door, smiling, waiting for the rest of the group to reunite. They sat waiting for Annie to arrive... which she did 2 minutes later. As soon as she saw Jack she sprinted to him as fast as she could.
"Jack! Thank God you're okay!" she ran and hugged her crush as tight as she could. She let go of him with a warm smile, and Jack smiled too. Michelle then walked towards Jack and elbowed him in the ribs.
"DO IT!" she mumbled to him loud enough for him to hear, but low enough for Annie to wonder. Jack made a face and then turned to Annie.
"Here let's get in the car." He opened the door for Annie as she stepped inside. Michelle shot Jack a look and got in the passengers seat. With that Jack nodded to her, and she sensed that the time would come. Jack then got in the car.
"Annie ummm" Jack started to mumble. Annie looked at him with intent deep blue eyes.
"Yeah Jack?" They just sat there in a moment of silence when Molly interrupted.
"JACK! Do it!" Jack was so surprised his mother had that sudden outburst.
"Annie, I've liked you forever I guess I just didn't want another incident like today happen again." Jack began.
"Well I hope today never happens again! That's the last time I'm ever going to a mall!" Annie said with a grin. "Sorry what were you going to say?" She said realizing she could have just ruined the chance he'd ever ask. Jack just smiled back and continued.
"I'm glad that we made it through that. I know me and Gabe just broke up, but she understands because I've already told her. She's kinda into this other guy too so it all works out." Jack sighed and went on. "I guess what I'm trying to say here is Annie you're the most beautiful, amazing, sweet, and sassy girl I have ever met. Would you go out with me?" Jack closed his eyes and waited patiently for a response. When all he got was silence he opened his eyes and looked straight into Annie's deep blue ones.
"Jack" she started then smiled with relief, "I never thought you'd ask!"
"So is that a 'yes'?" he asked with a "what-is-it?" face.
"No" she said. Jack's smile now faded. He looked down and then back up at Annie.
"Look Annie, it's okay I under-" he started, but soon was cut off by Annie's finger on Jack's lips.
"Please, let me finish." She said with a grin. "No Jack, it's not a yes it's more like a HELL YEA!" Annie wrapped her arms around Jack's neck as a wide bright smile showed up on his face. Then he kissed her deeply and passionately.
"Ughh. Please guys, you KNOW I can feel this!" Michelle said with a joking look on her face. They shot her a glance, and started laughing. Molly looked back at the two kids and smiled. *And they lived happily ever after* she thought and grinned.
