How Could This Happen

Author's Note: Thanks for all the great reviews so far:

Ashley42591: Thanks! I hope you like this chapter! I got the idea during Spanish today, so I had to half pay attention to the teacher and half to the story!

BregoBeauty: I know! I'm trying to do one to the song "because of you", but I'm having a little trouble coming up with original ideas for it. Ahh!

Finngirl: Thanks! I hope you like this chapter!

CalypsoAntigone: Um…just so you know, I specifically said No Flames! Your review was basically bashing the whole story! I just have a little piece of advice for you: If you don't like it, don't read it. I have a lot more reviewers who actually like my writing. You apparently aren't one of them. So, please don't review again unless you actually have something nice to say about it.

Anyways, on with the show! I'm almost done with Chapter 4, too, so look for that soon.

Chapter 3: The Plan

One week later, Lisa went over to Jackson's house. She hoped that the plan would go well.

When Jackson opened the door and saw Lisa standing there, he had never been so relieved in his life.

"Did you have any trouble on the way here?" he asked her.

"No, none whatsoever. You worry too much, Jackson." Lisa said, laughing.

"Thank God! I was so worried about you!" he said, relieved. "I haven't been able to leave my house at all since you left! They sent me a message that if I left the house, they would kill you. I couldn't let that happen to you." He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "So, run through the plan again? I think I forgot part of it."

Lisa laughed. "Don't worry, Jackson. We go out of the house at the same town and start shooting, or, in your case, beating the crap out of them and stabbing them. If they don't all die, we point the gun at them until they surrender. Actually, we shoot them anyway; I don't wanna let any of them survive. No one tries to kill the father of my child, even if he's an ex-assassin. I know it's not that good of a plan, but it's all we can do."

Jackson sighed. "I never thought that it would come to this. Us vs. my old company. I don't wanna tell you who I think will win."

Lisa scoffed. "Now, if that's what you're thinking, then we definitely won't win." Then she did something that she had never done before. She pulled his head down and kissed him passionately. Jackson was shocked, to say the least, but began to kiss her back. She pulled away slowly and smiled at him.

He smiled at her and said, "What was that for? Not that I didn't like it, but…"

Lisa laughed. "If we get out of this alive, I want you to stay with me permanently. If we don't make it out of this, I just wanted you to know that I love you. No matter what happens, that will never change."

"Well, well, well! What have we here?" Jackson said jokingly. At Lisa's confused look, he laughed and said, "Wasn't it you who just last week said that I had no right to feel the way I feel about you? And that you basically didn't want anything to do with me?"

Lisa laughed. "I know. I don't know why my mind changed all of a sudden, but it did, and I'm honestly very grateful about it. I always had a crush on you, too, you know, but when you told me that you were planning on killing the Keefe's that kind of ruined it."

Jackson laughed. "Don't worry, Leese! If all goes well, we'll both be together same time tomorrow. Now, are we ready to go?"

Lisa nodded. She grabbed the door knob and said, "Let's do this." Then she opened the door.

Just as she was about to start shooting, a hand grabbed her and pressed the cold metal of what she assumed was a gun to her head. She screamed. Jackson whipped his head around and saw Lisa being held there.

"Andrews, what the fuck are you doing? That's my girlfriend!" Jackson yelled angrily. Andrews smiled evilly.

"Now, now, Rippner, is that any way to greet an old friend?" Andrews asked sarcastically.

"You're no friend of mine! Now let going of Lisa, or I will kill you!" Jackson said, stepping closer.

"Now, now, Rippner. Drop the weapon, or she dies." Andrews said menacingly.

Lisa looked at Jackson and said, "Jackson, don't do it! It's a trap! They-!" She was interrupted by a swift punch in the stomach.

"Say anymore, and I will kill you, bitch!" Andrews said.

Jackson looked at Lisa with a pained expression on his face and slowly put his weapon down. Andrews laughed evilly and swiftly moved his gun from Lisa's head and shot Jackson.

Lisa screamed as Jackson fell down. She knew that this would be her only chance, so she grabbed her gun and shot Andrews, saying, "That's the father of my child, you asshole!" She didn't stop shooting him until she was sure he was dead. Then she ran over to Jackson.

"Jackson! Are you okay?" She asked, crying. Jackson nodded slowly.

"What…about…you?" he asked her.

"We're fine." Lisa said, kissing him.

"That's…good." Jackson said, wincing in pain at his wound.

"We have to get you to a hospital." Lisa said, picking Jackson up. She called the hospital.

When she heard a voice on the other end pick up, she sighed with relief and said, "My boyfriend needs an ambulance! He's been shot!"

"Okay, ma'am, we have a unit coming your way." The voice on the other end said.

"Thank you! Please, just hurry!" she cried, hanging up the phone. She ran over to Jackson. "Shh…" she said, as Jackson tried to talk. "It's going to be okay. An ambulance is on the way."

"Lisa…I…love…you." Jackson said, trying to catch his breath.

Lisa leaned down and gave him a kiss. "Shh…Jackson, shh. I love you, too. Now, try not to talk." Just then she heard the approaching sounds of sirens. She sighed with relief. "Thank God! Jackson, it's going to be okay. They're here."

She opened the door, and the man at the door said, "Where is he, miss?" Lisa pointed and they walked over and put him on the stretcher.

As they started to put him in the ambulance, Lisa said, "Please, sir, can I ride with him? He's my boyfriend." The man smiled.

"Sure." He said, and helped her in.

Lisa sighed as the ambulance took off. She grabbed Jackson's hand and kissed it, saying, "Don't worry. It's going to be okay. Don't you die on me! I swear, if you do, I will kill you!"

Jackson chuckled and opened his mouth to say something, but he was interrupted by the EMT. "Please, sir, don't talk. We don't want you to lose anymore blood."

As they got to the hospital, they rushed him to the emergency room. Lisa tried to go in with him, but they said, "I'm sorry, miss. You're going to have to stay here."

Lisa sat down, crying. God, I hope he's okay! Please, God, let him be okay!

After what seemed like ages, but was really only about 5 hours, the doctor came out. "Are you Miss Reisert?" he asked.

"Yes!" Lisa said, standing up. "Is Jackson okay? Please, you have to let me know! I love him!"

The doctor sighed. "Well,…"

TBC…
