Chapter 30- a not so happy ending

The bullet raced through the open space, till it connected with flesh. The body instantly dropped to the ground, light fading fast from view. The sounds getting quieter around the bleeding body. Faint voices could be heard screaming and yelling, hands had been pressed against the body to stop the bleeding, another pair were pressing down trying to get more oxygen through the body to the brain. But none of this was helping the dying soul had left the body long ago. Now in its place a shell of a person that used to be in it. A woman was down on her knees sobbing rocking back and forth. A man and women were standing behind her just staring, in disbelief.

Seth felt like he was watching in slow motion as the bullet cam straight for he knee, suddenly Joel ran out from behind him " mummy" he yelled. He then fell to the ground. The bullet had hit him square in the chest. "Joel" screamed Summer running up to her son. " no no no no no no, baby not my baby." She screamed. Seth stood were he was rooted to the ground his son, had just been shoot. People started to rush toward him.

" hold pressure on the wound, 2…3…4…5; some one call the ambulance" he could hear people shouting. He went over to Summer and helped her up they stood there hugging.

Annie stood there hugging her sister and brother. So many thoughts were going through her mind, she did not know what was happening, one minute her mother has a gun to her head the next her little brother is laying on the ground. Please let him be alright Lord please she prayed silently. Near them she could see that they had stoped working on her brother. " time of death five fifteen pm" said one of the men. Annie heard her mother scream, she saw her running away and her father and her friends chancing after her. She did not get far. After a while she collapsed crying. Seth caught up with her and hugged her tight never letting her go. A single tear ran down Annie's face she had not known her brother that well none of them had. He was mummies little boy and dad's lil man. He had never gotten along with his brother and sisters. They did not know him as well as they should have. Now they would never get the chance.

Kelly and Jamie had watched the whole thing from a far, Jamie had gone over to help Max and his brothers keep Tyler at bay. Kelly walked over to Annie " need some help?" she asked Annie looked up and smiled she pried Hannah off her and let Kelly hug her little sister. Hannah looked up at Kelly who smiled but said nothing. Hannah just rested her head against Kelly crying softly. No one had taken notice of what had happen to Zac till Lindsay placed hand cuffs on him. " Zac Stevens you are under arrest for the murders of Joey Coleman and Joel Cohen and the kidnapping of Summer Cohen and Harlin Cohen any thing you do say will be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney and if you don't have an attorney the court will appoint you one." She said.

Every one watched as he was taken away in the police car. One thing was for sure no one would forget this day for a long time. And nothing would ever be the same again.
