"John..", I whispered falling to my knees next to him. I heard a stiffled sob which I figured was Mom. I could tell John had been bleeding alot and his hands and face were cold. "Please don't die.", I let a single hot tear fall. "Skylar?", I turned to face Daddy, "Are we behind the force field?". I nodded yes, my hands still wrapped around John's. "We need to get him out of here, Skylar can you lead the way?", I stood and once again nodded. I lead the way to the hole in the force field as Mom and Dad, okay mosty Dad, carried him behind me. 'Please don't let him die.' I thought as I tried to remember which way I went before. When I stumbled into the DiMera mansion I called to Daddy, "We're almost there.".
I looked over at John who was currently laying on the couch. "Skylar?", I looked in Daddy's direction. "What exactly happened out there?", did we have to talk about this? I sighed, "He came through the force field and saved me. I couldn't move my legs. When I got the feeling back, I started walking on my own. He shoved me really hard and it knocked me over. I started yelling at him but it turns out he saved me from a bullet.", they got the bullet out easily, it was in his side, they just cut it out. It looked VERY painful.
"He did that for you?", Dad looked shocked. "Hes not a complete bastard, Dad, hes not going to let me die. I know that now.", I looked back over at John, "Daddy, don't let him die.". "I won't. I'll try.", Dad stood up and motioned for me to follow. I left John's side and followed Daddy. "He really did all that for you?", I nodded. "If it wasn't for him, I'd be dead right now. I'd be gone, for real this time.". It finally started to sink in that I almost died, but instead of me on a couch, it was John.
"Daddy, I'm so sorry.", I started to cry. Beacause of me, John was dying and it was all my fault. "What are you sorry for? You haven't done anything wrong.", he replied standing up next to me. "Yes I have! I've almost killed John. Its my fault hes laying in there dying!", I cried, "Its all my fault...", I leaned my head into Daddy's chest and once again cried all the tears I've hidden. "Skylar, its not your fault. You didn't fire the bullet at him. You didn't do anything wrong.", he tried to comfort me, but it didn't work, this is all MY fault.
"Shhh, Skylar, its going to be ok. Just calm down.", I stopped my crying and looked him dead in the eye, "I've killed someone.". He looked surprised, "No, no you didn't, what on earth would make you say something like that?", he asked pulling me into a hug. "Beacause its true. If it weren't for me, John never would have been shot. I found him in a puddle of his own blood. His blood is on my hands.", I held out my hands, showing dried blood on my fingertips and under my finger nails. "God, Skylar, c'mon lets go clean you up.", he said pulling me into a bathroom. He rinsed off my hands which were shaking uncontrolably.
"God, Skylar, you need to stop shaking.", he turned off the water, I looked at my now clean hands. "I'm sorry.", I choked out before i fell into his arms once again. I hadn't realized it, but he had carried me back into the room and laid me on the bed. I heard a muffled, choking sound and sat up immediatly. "John..", I rushed to his side just in time to grab his still cold hands and see his eyes flutter open. The tears stopped trickling down my face as I saw that I really didn't kill him. Then just as fast as it had happened, his eyes closed and he muttered one word, "Skylar...".
(A/N: John's fate is still in your hands! BTW, his death has nothing to do with the couples, if he dies it doesnt automaticaly mean Roman and Marlena. bsides, then where would Kate, Belle, and Brady be? ANd how would Skylar feel, he risked and posibly lost his life for her. She will probally feel like its her fault and then how will that affect Roman and Marlena? Just think about this from all sides. And I have a complete twister for the story if John stays alive. What is it? Well, you'll have to decide whats best for Skylar! :)) Oh yeah, IM me to talk about Skylar (or ROman and Marlena w/e) hbkslilangel92.be aware both my 'z' and 'v' keys are broken. rite now im on someone elses comp. Oh and HUGE thanks to Taylor who gave me the idea for the last part of the chapter, I was stuck badly. Thanks Taylor!
