Blood was pumping through my veins like a Mexican racehorse right before it hits the track. I ran into the bedroom, where Nick was lying. Shaking like he was having sex or something. That's when I noticed the blood running down his arm.
"What happened?" I yelled.
"You were right.. she.. can't be… trusted."
"She shot you!"
"Y..es." Nick stuttered.
"Where did she go?"
"She climbed.. out…the window."
"Okay. But I'm not going to kill her until I help you. Can you feel anything?" I said when I rested my hand on the wound.
"No… not really." He obviously was in pain. he couldn't stop stuttering.
I wrapped a blouse that was on the floor around the wound, and told nick.
"Stay here."
"Fine…"
I ran out the front door, slamming the door and locking it from behind. Nicole left the keys on the kitchen table. What a smart girl.
I ran around to the car and opened up the trunk. I stifled through all of the shit until I found a black case. I slowly opened it so our guns wouldn't fall and have an accidental shooting or anything like that. Believe, me. I took hunter's education a while back.
I put the gun down my jeans, hiding it from Nicole, if she was hiding in the bushes or anything like that. She's a blonde. I highly doubt she would be smart enough to get in a car and drive over a curb without killing herself right then and there.
Taking steps over the leaves that fell from the oak trees, I walked towards the backyard. I could barely even hear myself breathe. Soon enough, I got the backyard. I saw that Nicole climbed down a Terries, and obviously ran down the back ally. She was nowhere to be found. The window was open, and I yelled for Nick. Hopefully he could hear me.
"Nick, I'm Melanie. Can you hear me?"
No reply. I picked up a small rock and threw it at the open window.
"NICK!"
"Wha..t?"
"Nicole's not back here. She went down the back ally. I'll be back."
"Okay?"
I ran down the ally, finally meeting up to another main road. I looked down the west side, and I saw her. She was walking down the left side of the road, on the phone. She was at least five hundred feet away from me. It was pretty much a prefect shot.
But, was it fair? She had no fucking idea I was behind her. Whatever, she shot Nick, and that wasn't fair.
I pulled the gun out of my jeans, and pulled the trigger.
Fail. I had completely missed her. She dropped her cell phone and turned around.
"Oh. It's the dog! Did you just try to shoot me? How did that work out?" She yelled.
"Shut the FUCK UP!"
" I would love to see you try to make me shut the fuck up."
"I thought you were with us?"
"Oh. I was. That's when I realized that that Nick of yours was trying to have sex with me!"
"What?"
"yeah. You heard me. He was like, You're so sexy! And he unbuttoned my shorts!"
"Nick would never do that. Ever!"
"He did."
"No, he didn't! He doesn't even know you!"
"Just get over it. Why does it even matter to you?"
"It's none of your business!"
"Awww, does the dog have a little crush on your sidekick?" Nicole said while grabbing my cheek.
"God damnit, Nicole! I lost my virginity to him!"
"Well… that's a little awkward…"
"Bitch, you don't know my life!"
She turned around and started walking away. "Just leave me alone. I've already talked to carver about where you are, bitches!" she gave me the finger and walked off.
That's when I shot her dead.
I drug Nicole's dead disgusting body back to her apartment, and shoved it in a box in her garage. I left it there and ran back in the house to help out with Nick.
"Nick!" I screamed as I ran into the apartment.
"Yeah?" he replied.
"We have to get the fuck out of here."
"Why is that?"
"Nicole told Carver our location. I was right about her. She couldn't be trusted. She did it because she told me you tried to have sex with her, and that's why she shot you!"
"What? I never even came two feet in between that chick!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I'm sure."
"But before we go I have to get that bullet out of your arm."
"No, just take me to the doctors quick."
"If we go to the doctors we'll be wasting another two weeks in that slave jail."
"True."
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a knife to pry it out. I knew how to get bullets out of flesh. I watch spike. Damn that shows got a lot of random masculine shit in it.
Walking into the bedroom was really creepy. There was a dead body in the garage and I had a knife in my hand.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"Yeah. Do you trust me?"
"Barely."
"Bull shit." I said with a smile.
"Okay. All I'm going to do it pry the bullet out with this by putting it inside the wound. It will hurt, sorry."
"Damn you."
I put the knife in the wound.
"OH SHIT! OH SHIT TAKE IT OUT! FUCK!"
"No Nick! Don't move!"
"OH MY FUCKING GOD IT HURTS!"
"I almost got it."
"AHHHH!"
"Got it."
The small red bullet stained with Nick's blood was on the tip of the knife. I threw it in the trash and ran into the bathroom.
"Where are you going?"
I didn't answer. I wasn't going to just leave without disinfecting it! Hopefully Nicole had some hydrogen peroxide and Kleenex.
"Tampons, shampoo, razors, q-tips… WHERE THE HELL IS HYDROGEN PEROXIDE?" I yelled to myself while looking.
It was in the back of the cabinet. It expired in 1998, but it was better then nothing. Kleenex's were easy to find. I ran back into the bedroom and told Nick to close his eyes before showing him what I was doing. I gently poured the clear liquid onto the cloth and pressed it on the cut.
"OH MY GOD THAT STINGS! WHAT THE HELL?" Nick said.
He opened his eyes and stared at me.
"WHY, MELANIE?"
I thrust myself on top of him and kissed him. I didn't care if he was totally being a bitch to me right now.
When I pulled back he laughed. "That will be our last kiss, ever."
"Are you sure?" I said while raising my eyebrows.
We kissed again. His lips were dry and totally chapped, but I really didn't care. As much as I hated it, I knew I had feeling for Nick. Deep inside, and I just couldn't stop it.
Nick got off the bed and we loaded up our guns.
"Where are we supposed to go?" he asked.
"Well. I say we better board a ferry to get to France and Germany and all that shit."
"Good deal."
"Oh yeah. I bet you're wondering why Nicole isn't back yet."
"Actually no. But since you brought it up, where did she go?"
"Well… I shot her."
"WHY?"
"Dude. She told carver where we are. That's why we need to get the fuck out of here."
"That's true."
