Ok, here's the last chapter.
Thanks for reviewing everyone, you all rock. Please review this last chapter too.
And I'll have another story up soon too, I have a few to put up, so I'll pick one to put up now. Look out for it.
Disclaimer: I own Michael. Ha, I wish. No seriously, Meg Cabot owns all characters except for Jason and the robber dude.
*********************************************************************
Mia lay on her hospital bed. Michael was sitting beside her holding her hand. His head was resting on the bed.
"Hey," she said to him, "It's all over now, Everything is fine."
Michael looked up at her, tears in his red eyes.
"But it might not have been," he sobbed. "You could have been killed and I would have had to live with the guilt of how I acted at school yesterday. I don't know what I would have done if I'd lost you."
Mia thought back to the night before. Lars had really come through for her.
"Please, please don't shoot me," she pleaded with the man.
"I won't shoot you, if I can be guarranteed a safe trip out of here. You're my bargaining chip."
Great, thought Mia. She was a bargaining chip, just something to be bartered. A hostage.
"Now, who's the old man outside?"
"My father." Mia said through gritted teeth.
"He looks like he's worth quite a bit. How much does he have?"
More than you could ever imagine, thought Mia.
"How much do you want?" she asked him, she didn't exactly want to just come out and say her father was a prince who was worth over 300 million dollars.
"Oh, so that's how it is, is it? I can just name my price? I sure picked the right night for working, didn't I?"
Working? This was the guys job? What a promising career path.
Jason spoke up, "Dude, why don't you just leave? We have a back entrance, use that. Before the cops bust your ass."
Why was Jason speaking back to the guy? Mia thought. Does he want to get shot?
"I'm not leaving until the little miss here gets me something from daddy."
Mia looked outside to her dad, but she couldn't see Michael. Where was he? He hadn't deserted her when she needed him the most did he?
"Just leave! You have enough already!" Jason was getting angry, but the robber was angrier.
"You just shut your face, mate. I'll leave when I'm ready too."
He lifted the gun away from my temple and turned to face Jason at the counter. But he didn't point the gun at Jason, he pointed it at Tina!
"Oh God," Tina muttered.
"If you can't shut up, I'm going to shoot your little girlfriend here," he said to Jason.
That was when Lars took his shot. He'd snuck into the store through the back entrance. So stealthly that no one neither heard nor noticed him.
He shot the man in the thigh and he keeled over in pain, falling on top of Mia. Mia was crushed underneath the weight of him, and suffered a broken arm.
Fifteen huge men, Lars, Mia's father and Michael had all run in once the man had been taken down. The man was apprehended and an ambulance was called.
Michael rushed to her side, and he hadn't left it since. He was still wearing his bullet proof jacket. Mia was glad to see that he had only left the window to try to help her, he hadn't deserted her.
Mia was just glad the whole thing was over. She was never going anywhere without Lars again. Not even to the local 7/11 store for chocolate.
Tina felt the same way. She had come into visit Mia earlier. Both she and Jason had been checked over and given the all clear.
"I'm so sorry for making you come with me, Mia. You were right, we never should have left without Lars or Wahim. I'm so sorry."
"Hey, it's ok, it's not your fault. I could have said no if I'd wanted to."
"I'm just glad you're ok. And we'll get our stuff back!" she said excitedly. The police had said they needed to keep their jewelery for a while, as evidence, but they would eventually get it back.
Mia fingered the ring on her hand. She had never given that up.
"And guess what?" Tina asked. "I asked Jason out!" she said, without even giving us chance to guess. "It's just like out of one of my romance novels, don't you think? We're going out next weekend, once things have calmed down."
"That's great, Tina," Mia said.
"Ok, well I have to go, but I 'll see you both later." Tina said as she walked out of the room.
Mia turned to Michael, who was still sitting next to her on the bed.
"Michael, how did you know where to find me?" she asked him.
"Well," he started. "It's a long story, but basically, I'd rung to apologise to you, and then we realised you were missing. I rushed over to the Loft and while I was making your mom coffee, I needed to go down to 7/11 to get sugar. I came to buy some and stumbled upon the robbery."
"Oh," she said with disappointment.
"What?" he asked.
"Well, I just sort of hoped you'd maybe felt something inside, and followed your gut feeling to the store."
"I did, only it was your mothers gut telling me she needed sugar," he leaned over and kissed her hand.
"Yeah, you're my Sugar Hero," she said with a smile.
"And you are my Damsel in Distress. Whenever you need rescuing, I'll be there for you. Always."
