A.n.: This chapter is dedicated to AngrySmiles for being the first to review to my last chapter. I would also like to give a HUGE congratulation to CeeCeeCaffeine for being the only person to guess right. Congrats. And this is the second to last chapter as well, so the next chapter is the last before the sequel. And I really want 200 reviews by the end of this story, so I'm not updating until I have at least 195.

Reviews:

AngrySmiles: Thanks so much for the review. I appreciate it.

flonshoe: You can still review to the other chapter. What, I'm going to not count it? I don't think so. I really ant 200 reviews before I finish this story here. Good guess, but that guy is in jail.

nikki007: Yes, that's right. But I wanted the name, therefore you only get one point. Sorry, but thanks for the review.

Anywien: Yeah I know what you mean. I get busy and that's why it takes me forever to update these things.

kittykatangel518: You were pretty close. It was a very good guess. Thanks so much for reviewing.

Quietly Losing Control: That is really funny, but I don't think that I could put you in the story trying to kill Jess. That ruins all of it. But it was very funny.

Sunchaser: Wow, you haven't reviewed since the fifth chapter. When people don't review in that much time I usually think that they don't read my story anymore. Thanks so much. And thanks for being one of the only ones to comment on me going to Florida. That was very nice of you.

iluvmybeagle: Thanks so much for the compliments. And your guess was totally off, but it was something that I never thought of and that's an accomplishment.

sparklinqt87: Thanks so much for the review. I appreciate it lots.

madmaddy: I know you liked the cliffie though. Everyone LOVES cliffies. Lol.

Padfoot-Marauders-Rule: No, the kidnapper was a guy, but you're guess was pretty good, so I gave you a three. I love Harry Potter, the Marauders are awesome.

sassystar678: That would be an interesting twist, but not in this story. But it is an awesome guess.

CeeCeeCaffeine: Have I mentioned that I love you recently? You are totally awesome. Your are the one person who guessed it right…aren't you proud of yourself? I am totally proud of you. You need some pats on the back, so go ahead and pat yourself on the back. Lol.

Uh.yeah: Thanks for the review. You're awesome.

dancin' chicky18: I wouldn't know if this was a hard question because I already know what happens. If that makes any sense. But I'm glad I made it hard. Thanks so much for reviewing.

James Lee: Thanks so much and the trip sucked, but coming back to all the reviews I got was awesome.

SingingSoftly: They will pay, trust me. The purple hat will make sense later, but I would appreciate it if you wouldn't use the word "gay" as a description of it. Some of my friends are gay and that's very insulting. But thanks for the review.

frostyqueen672: Thanks so much for the guesses and the review. I really appreciate it and thanks for helping me with my goal.

Rob4eva: The whole thing will be explained in this chapter. I mean, what's the point in having a story if you don't know the reasons behind the evil person's actions? And I might not be evil enough to kill her off, but I never said she was going to die necessarily did I?

Chapter 14

"Yes and if it isn't the infamous Lightning Girl." He laughed although I didn't particularly find that funny. I still couldn't see the guy's face. His face was cloaked in the shadows to the point where I only saw one beefy hand and a gun pointed at me.

Now, you have to think about our positions in the gym right now. He was right near one of the two exits. I had actually used the other door to get in, so I was on the side and Rob was still pretending to be tied up to the basketball pole. The guy had an easy shot at either of us, so I really had to be careful.

"Well congratulations, you know who I am. I'm so proud of you." To add to the sarcasm I even pretended to wipe a tear off my cheek. I never really have listened to anyone, including myself, when it comes to anything important anyway. "If you know me, then why don't we move on to you?"

"I thought that Lightning Girl would have figured out who I am by now. That's disappointing." I really wanted him to drop that gun, but I really doubt it would ever happen.

"Then if you won't tell me who you are, at least tell me why you kidnapped my boyfriend and want to kill me."

"That should be obvious to you, Lightning Girl. There were three reasons: Mark Leskowski, Jeff Day, and Nate Thompson."

I had already figured that this guy was getting revenge on me for putting Mark in prison, but I didn't know Nate had anything to do with it. "Why Nate?"

"He was one of the best players on the team and it's your fault he's dead." He cocked the gun. Oops, I got a killer with a gun mad. Not good. Not good at all.

"Ok, then why are you so interested in the team? I mean, you wear a purple and white hat!"

He took a step towards me, but it was just enough to let me see his face out of the shadows on the darkened gymnasium. It was Coach Albright. Definitely not good. The coach had never liked me. But I guess that he had reason to not like me, I mean, I did beat up all of his players practically every day.

But I also knew that with the anger radiating off of him, one of us was not going to make it out of here alive.

I hadn't heard Rob in a while, so I took a chance and looked behind to see him. He was still over by the poles, but he had taken a few steps towards us. It wasn't enough to bring attention to himself, but I didn't want Coach Albright to notice him and hurt him. I also saw a look n his stormy gray eyes and that was worry. He was worried about me and my safety. I would think it sweet if I wasn't in this predicament. I saw a clock as well and noted that I had been here for a half an hour. Fifteen more minutes until Mom called Dr. Krantz. If only I could keep Coach Albright busy enough for that long.

I just went right out to say, "I didn't put them in Jail Coach Albright. They put themselves in jail. And I'm sorry about Nate. That whole thing was my fault and I've beaten myself up for it enough."

"No, no you haven't. I want you to suffer the way I did. I lost everything when they all left. You've been a pain in my ass from the first time you entered the school. And now I'm putting an end to all that." He looked insane to me. I had never really seen an insane person before, well, unless you don't count TV. But Coach Albright looked like one of those creepy stalkerish people who were, in fact, criminally insane.

The scary part was that I don't think there was anything I could do to make him change his mind either. I could try to convince him to let Rob and me go, but it wouldn't work. He was too far-gone. Nobody could help him anymore.

I took a few tiny steps back, just enough to where he wouldn't notice I wasn't in the same spot I was in but I was closer to where Rob was.

"Before you do anything, I want to know something. Why did you kidnap Rob?"

He laughed. It wasn't the laugh of any normal person, it was kind of high and squeaky and hysterical. Kind of scary if you ask me. "What better way to get to you then to kidnap the one you love. The perfect way to make you come right to me."

Of course. I mean, what better reason would he have for kidnapping Rob.

"And now you'll see him die." He took the target of the gun from me to Rob. Rob himself looked like a deer caught in headlights.

I vaguely heard myself scream and before I knew what was happening, I ran in front of him. There was no way in hell anything was hurting him, ever. At least, if I could help it.

I heard the sound of the gunshot and then I felt the impact of the bullet in my stomach. I fell back into Rob with the force before I dropped to the ground. I dimly heard Coach Albright laughing in the high squeaky hysterical way he had grown accustomed to.

"Jess, Jess! Come on Mastriani! Listen to me! Say conscious, no matter what you do, just stay conscious." I looked up at his face and saw tears running down them. Rob was crying, crying for me.

Let me just tell you something: getting shot, not fun. It hurts like a bitch. Damn. "Rob, I have to tell you something…" It hurt to talk to. I could already feel myself drifting off into the land of black, but I was holding off. For him I would do anything.

"What is it baby?"

"I love you so much."

"Shh, don't talk." He took off his shirt and did his best to stop the bleeding, but it wasn't going to be enough. He didn't want to know that, so I didn't tell him. "Come on baby. Stay awake for me all right?" Rob stopped talking when he heard the sound of sirens in the distance. "You see, the cops are coming. You're going to be fine. Just hold on baby."

I heard the sound of another shot being fired and looked at Rob with scared eyes. If he had been shot I would have killed Coach Albright. He grimaced when he looked to where the sound had come from. That's not good. "Rob, I'm cold." I was stuttering. I never stutter. I had never really been shot before, so this was a new occurrence, but I swear it will never happen again if I can let it. I don't like it one bit.

"Shit. Just hold on. I'm right here."

I could feel myself getting closer to the darkness that was rapidly pulling me in.

I reached up with one bloody hand and stroked the side of his face. He put one of his hands over mine and pressed my hand to his cheek. I touched his top lip with my thumb delicately before I said, "I love you Rob. I love you so much."

"No, Jess! Stay with me! Oh, God. Please don't leave me. The ambulance is right here Jess. They're just outside the door. Just stay with me." He was practically sobbing.

I wasn't going to last until the ambulance came. The blood loss was affecting me too much. I shook my head up at him and said, "Tell my parents…that I'm sorry."

He nodded and said, "I love you Mastriani, God I love you. Just don't go."

I didn't even get to think about what he had said before I blacked out.

A.N.: So, how was it? Isn't it sweet how Rob finally tells Jess how he feels and she blacks out? Hehehe. And you guys never would have thought the guy would be Coach Albright, did you? Another congrats to CeeCeeCaffeine for being the only person to guess him.

I have another little test thing for you guys. The points and everything will be the same.

Five Points: You guess completely right

Four Points: For the most part you're right, but a little wrong

Three Points: Sort of right and sort of wrong

Two Points: Had the right idea, but completely wrong

One Point: You tried, but you were way off

No Points: You didn't guess at all

Question: What is going to happen to Jess?

I'm not expecting anyone to get this right, but for those of you that do: congrats, you're awesome.

And the next chapter is my last one. So here's a hint for anyone who's reading this: it's in Rob's POV. Lol.
