The Horrid Accident

"What's happened to her?" he asked Haley, who was with Peyton, who was hurt.
"She was shot. I don't think it was meant for her. It's in her stomach. Brooke called the ambulance and the police. They're on their way. Are you going to ride with her in the ambulance?" Haley asked.
"Yeah, yeah, I am, did you see who shot her," he asked Hales.
"I think, I think it was Mouth," said Haley.
"What? No, he is my friend." said Luke.
"That is why I don't think it was meant for her." said Haley.
Skillz came over at that time. He saw all the commotion. The ambulance was close, youk could hear sirens.
"Dawg, what happened?" asked Skillz.
"Haley thinks she saw Mouth shoot, my girlfriend." said Luke, the ambulance came and Luke had to go. "Gotta go, come to the hospital." And he helped carry the stretcher onto the ambulance.
"Kid,my name is Jerry, this is your girlfriend?" the med asked.
"Yeah," said Luke.
"Where are her parents?" Jerry asked.
"Uh, her mom died when she was twelve, and her dad is always on business things, he is hard to reach and doesn't have a cell phone, and will be gone for 6 months." he said.
"Well, we'll try to get a hold of him, and does she live alone?"
"Yeah."
"Well if he doesn't come back, she'll have to find someone to live with, or get put in a foster home."
"Well if he doesn't, my dad, Dan Scott, will let her move in.
"You are Dan's kid, Nathan?"
"No, Lucas, my biological mother, Karen Rowe, she left with her new child and my Dad's older brother."
"I thought Dan went off to college."
"Yeah well, we got close after all these years."
"That's great."
"Wait, how do you know my dad."
"I went to school with him, we played ball together, we were best friends that lost touch, well," Jerry said, writing his name and number on a piece of paper."give this to your daddy."
"Will do."
"Anyway, did anyone see who shot her?"
"Well my brother's, Nathan, girlfriend, she is my best friend, says she think she saw someone named Thomas Callander shoot her. I thought he was my friend, I guess not, well anyways, he is the announcer for our basketball games, so he was there."
"Okay. We're here, push her with me, we are gonna go take her to the ER, and you can go with her, unless they say no."
They got to the ER.
"Don't forget to give that to your daddy.Bye, Lucas."
"Bye, Jerry."
'They allowed him to go with her until surgery. It gave him 20 minutes alone with Peyton. Then he would be allowed after surgery. Nothing will go wrong, she'll be fine.' he told himself.
"Peyton, baby, I love you, you promised you won't leave me, please keep that promise. Please. I'll be here until you go into surgery. Then after surgery, I'll be here until you wake up. That's a promise from me, I'll keep it, if you don't wake up, I'll kill myself, to be with you. I love you." he said. He kissed her lips. Her very still lips. He sat there and held her hand until the doctor came in and told him to leave. Hales and Nate were there for him. He has been crying since it happened.
