Ok here's chapter 20 I left you hanging and I know it's killing you but the next chapter is up so you don't have to freak. Please enjoy and R&R :)
Previously: "HEY WHAT THE!" Tyler grabbed the man from behind and slammed him to the ground, the man then pointed his gun at Freddie and Tyler reacted "NO!" BANG!
AND NOW:
The robber pointed his gun at Freddie and Tyler reacted, "NO!" he jumped in front of Freddie pushing him down as the gun went off "BANG!" The police burst into the store and the robber pointed the gun at them and they shot him, he fell back onto the floor DEAD. "TYLER…….TYLER!" Freddie yelled as an unconscious Tyler lay in his arms bleeding from the chest, he had protected Freddie and took the shot. "WAKE UP TYLER……WAKE UP!" He yelled as the paramedics came into the store, Freddie didn't want to move from his cousin so the manager had to pull him away. "NO!...NO!...TYLER!" he yelled as the manager took him outside the store, "calm down, calm down, he's going to be fine" the manager said as he sat Freddie down on the sidewalk. Freddie just sat there shaking; he never expected anything like this to ever happen. The paramedics came out of with Tyler on a stretcher, Freddie got up and ran over to them "is he going to be alright!" he asked frantically "we won't know until we get him to the hospital" the paramedic replied, they were tending to his wound trying to stop the bleeding. "Well can I ride with him!" he asked "are you family" "yes, I'm his cousin" "ok, get in." They loaded Tyler into the ambulance and Freddie hopped in and sat next to him.
The ride seemed like hell for Freddie, Tyler was still unconscious as they gave him oxygen and hooked him up to other things. They injected him with a painkiller that would numb his body, they kept applying to his chest were he was shot trying to slow the bleeding. Freddie just sat there in the ambulance holding his cousin's hand and squeezing it trying to reassure him that he was there. "Come on Tyler….you can't give up……you gotta fight. You can't leave….you can't leave Darrel, she loves you…..you can't leave Carly or Sam…….and you can't leave me." Freddie said as he broke down into tears. The ambulance arrived and they rushed him in with Freddie running right beside him until he couldn't go any further. "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to stay out here" the paramedic said, Freddie watched through the glass on the door as they rushed Tyler out of his sight. At that moment he dropped to his knees and cried, and then he realized what he had to do. He got up and pulled out his phone and called Carly.
"Hey Freddie how's........WHAT! OH MY GOD, OK WERE ON OUR WAY!" Carly said frantically as she searched for Sam. "SAM, SAM we got to the hospital, Tyler was shot" she told her "WHAT, OH MY GOD!" Sam said. They ran to the front and told their boss and asked if she would give them a ride and she gladly said she would. They left the store "Mrs. Fields can you stop at the mall to pick our friend" Carly asked "sure" she replied. Carly called Darrel and told her what happened, they met her outside the mall, she was frantic and crying. "CARLY HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING!" she asked as she got in "NO! We don't know what happened, Freddie just called and said Tyler was shot." Darrel instantly collapsed onto Carly's lap. "Carly….if I lose him….I don't know what I'll do" she as she sobbed hysterically, "Don't think that Darrel, Tyler loves you and would never leave you" Sam said. She was trying to comfort her friend, but at the same time was very scared herself. They made it to the hospital and rushed in and to the front desk "we're looking for Tyler Dillinger!" Carly said frantically. The nurse looked up at them and then at a clipboard she had "oh, he's on the second floor, just take that elevator." They rushed to the elevator and got in; it seemed to be forever before they got to the second floor. They rushed off the elevator and immediately spotted Freddie "Freddie!" Carly said as she ran up to him and hugged him, he hugged Sam and Darrel and just looked at him with red puffy eyes. "Girls…..I don't…..Darrel I'm sorry……he protected me" Freddie said struggling to speak, Sam took his face in her hands and looked at him. "Hey it's not your fault, don't you dare blame yourself" she gave him a hug and he didn't want to let go. "So what happened?" Carly asked sadly "well, things had slowed down and then this guy came in, and he pulled a gun on me and told me to give him the money, next thing I hear a gunshot and Tyler is in my lap." He instantly broke down in front of them; they helped him off the floor and all walked back over the waiting area to sit down. "Darrel I'm so sorry" Freddie said "don't be, Tyler saved your life" she replied "yeah, but now he's hurt." She didn't respond, she just stared at the doors Tyler was rushed through. "Tyler….please don't leave me" she said to quietly to herself. An hour later a doctor came out and asked if they were Tyler's family, they all looked at each other a minute and then Freddie said "yes, how is he?"
Oh boy another cliffy, oh well. Wonder what the doctor will say. You will have to wait until next time now please R&R and thank you :)
