Ally's POV:
And the gun goes off.
I'm on the ground from Austin pushing me out of the way, when I see Austin fall to his knees. I can see blood seeping through his shirt.
"No!" I scream.
Andrew looks, shocked. "I didn't want to shoot that damn kid! It was supposed to be you!" He yells, and runs out of the store.
I get up and run to Austin's side, he's laying face first on the ground now. There's blood forming into a small puddle on the floor.
"Austin!" I cry.
I slowly move him onto his back.
"Go call 911!" My dad yells at me.
I don't want to leave Austin's side but my dad comes over and makes me get up, I run upstairs to the phone.
After I call, I run back downstairs. My dad was gone.
"Dad?" I yell. Nothing.
I kneel next to Austin, who's barely conscious with tears on his face. I brush his hair out of his face.
"I'm so sorry Austin. It's my entire fault." I start to cry harder. Then I notice something on the counter that wasn't there before, a piece of paper. I look at Austin again and he's breathing slowly. I go up to the counter and read the note quickly. I don't want to be away from Austin long.
Ally,
I'm so sorry this happened. I hope Austin will be okay. But I have to go, I have to find somewhere to hide or they're going to kill me. Everything that Andrew said is true. He was my partner and I stole money and inventory from him to be on my own. He has a lot of issues and I think he's defiantly lost it. But he works for this guy, Mike James. And he is a real important, rich man Ally. He will kill Andrew if he doesn't get his money back and the only way Andrew thinks he can get enough money is to take back what I took and kill me, he had a bad childhood and has been messed up since. There both going to come after me now. I'll try to keep in touch. I'm sorry again.
Dad.
He left me? And the award for most terrible dad goes to Lester Dawson.
