Chapter 13:

"Damn sugar. I thought for a minute there that you weren't gonna do it." he said watching the blood pour out. She turned around and threw herself onto him kissing him and rubbing her leg between his, feeling his erection. "What do you say we make up for lost time."

She filled her eyes with lust and kissed him again, but this time while his left hand was in her hair making it easy for her, she slowly crept her hand up still holding the gun and fired into his gut. She was blown back from the close proximity but it was minor damage compared to him. He fell back into the chair behind him. "As if I would ever be with you." He became limp and she watched him until he stopped breathing. She had never felt so dirty and ashamed of herself in her entire life. But she pushed it aside as she ran over to Nick shaking him, secretly hoping he forgave her for all of this, even though it was the plan. "Nick, it's over, get up." She cried.

He opened his eyes and saw her crying. "Don't cry babe, like you said it's over." He wiped a tear from her cheek. It was then that she caught a movement from the corner of her eye. She shoved Nick back to the ground as a shot was fired. She was pierced by a blinding pain in her side, but grabbed Nicks gun, from the floor, and faster than she could ever register she turned and shot him. She stood up and moved forward with every shot she got off. All the anger she had for him through the past years, for Ryan, for Patrick, for everything. She shot into him all the bullets she had. And she didn't stop even after that. She didn't even register the empty clicks the gun was making until Nick stood behind her and took the gun. Her angry breaths turned into tears and ran down her face. Nick pulled her to him holding her with all he had. Brass busted down the door and flew in with the other uniforms.

Hailey felt herself shaking and thought it was because of her emotions but now that the adrenaline was set aside the blinding pain returned to her side. She reached down and she saw the blood that had trailed onto her hand. Her head became light and then everything went black.

Nick felt her body weight shift and felt her slipping before catching her and laying her on the ground. "We need a medic." He yelled. Brass ran into the hall and called down for the emt's to come up. They placed her on a gurney and lifted her down the stairs, into the ambulance, and off to the hospital, Nick climbed into the back of the car with her and the sped off to Desert Palms Hostpital.
