A/N...Sorry it took so long for me to update, I've been busy, but I have been
updating my other stories, which is progress. I hope you guys like this
chapter.
Manny's POV
I can't handle it. Why God? Why me? Why did you have to punish me? I know that I've done some mean things, but this? I might lose the only true friend that I've ever had because of this. Please, Lord, make it stop. If you have any love left in your heart, make it stop.
I looked over to my left and saw Jesse and Spinner fighting for the gun.
"Spinner STOP!" Paige yelled.
They ignored her cries and still fought for the gun.
"Why are you doing this Jesse?" I thought, "Why?"
I got up and walked over to Emma.
I immediately started crying, "Emma, please be ok," I whispered to myself, "I can't lose you. I need you Emma."
I laid my head on her chest and just cried to myself.
My thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of a gunshot being fired.
"SPINNER!" Paige screamed.
I looked over and saw Spinner on the ground with a puddle of blood developing around his body and Jesse backing up from him.
"Please....oh god," Paige put her fingers underneath his ear to feel for a heart beat, "Oh my god...NOOOO!!! SPINNER!!" She laid her head on his chest and cried uncontrollably.
"What...what happened? Is he ok?" Jesse said.
"You killed him!! You bastard!! You killed him!!"
"Spinner, oh my god," I whispered to myself, "Do you see what you've done Jesse? You've ruined everything."
I jumped when I felt a hand on my arm. I looked down and saw Emma's eyes flutter open.
"Emma? You're ok. Emma, I 'm so glad you're all right. I was so worried."
A tear slid down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.
"Manny," Emma said slightly out of breath, "What's happening?"
"Spinner, he's...he's gone." Emma started crying, "Oh my god, why do bad things always happen to me? Spinner didn't deserve this."
"It's ok Emma, we can get through this. Don't cry."
"How can I not? It's all my fault."
"No it's not. Why would you say that?"
"If I had stayed friends with him, and stood up for him when he needed me, none of this would have happened."
"You can't change what's happened. What's done is done."
Emma nodded. She put her arms up to me, "Help me up."
"What? Emma, I don't think that, that is a very good idea."
"Help me up."
"Emma--"
"I said, help me up."
Reluctantly, I helped her get on her feet.
She started walking towards Jesse.
"What are you doing Emma?" I thought to myself.
Emma tapped Jesse on the shoulder, and he turned around, ""Emma?"
"Jesse, you need to stop this," Emma said crying.
"I-I can't."
"Why can't you?"
"Think about it Emma. I held everyone here at gunpoint. Shot you, and I killed--" He hesitated for a moment, "I killed Spinner."
Emma wouldn't even look at him. She would look at everyone around her from time to time, but wouldn't look at him.
I noticed how quiet everyone got. It was weird. I'm not exactly sure how to explain it.
Within a split second, many policemen stormed the cafeteria, and held their guns toward Jesse.
"DROP THE GUN!" one of the policeman yelled.
"Jesse, please, do what he says," Emma cried.
"Go away Emma, I don't need you anymore."
Emma backed up reluctantly.
"Ok, son, put down the gun, and step away slowly."
I cried on the inside, but didn't show any emotion. As much as I hated Jesse, I still cared for him. I felt bad for everything we had done to him.
"NO! Get away from me! All of you!"
One of the officers tried to walk towards him.
"Back up! Get away!" Jesse yelled.
"Jesse, please!" I yelled.
"I just want everyone to know, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do all this. I never really had the intention to kill anyone or hurt you. I just wanted you all to see what I've been through. You think it's all fun and games and that I'll get over it, but I haven't. It hurts. It always has. I'm sorry. I did this for you," Jesse looked over at Emma, "I love you Emma, I always have."
He took the gun and raised it to his temple.
"JESSE! NOOOO!!" Emma and I screamed.
