Austin's POV:
I think I hit my head. I can't get up, and I feel sick to my stomach.
Mike stands in front of me. "Get up, hero." He laughs and kicks me in the face.
"Ah!" I scream.
It takes me a minute but I force myself to my feet and almost fall over. I use the wall for support. I wipe my fat bloody lip.
I notice, he has a gun now, and it's pointed right at me.
I laugh a sarcastic laugh. "You're real big with a gun in your hand. I've already been shot once, I'm not afraid of you."
"Well Andrew has bad aim. I'll make sure your dead this time." He puts his finger on the trigger.
I stand there. What am I going to do? If I go after him he'll shoot. Either way I'm dead. I never even got to tell Ally how I feel.
Ally screams outside and it makes Mike turn his head. Andrew must have taken the tape off of her mouth, not very smart on his part.
Well here's my chance. I charge towards him and shove him to the ground. The gun is still in his hand.
I try keeping him to the ground but I'm still so week. He does a cheap shot right into my stitches.
I scream and he's on top of me now but both our hands are on the gun. We continue to struggle when, the gun goes off.
Ally's POV:
Andrew unties my feet and rips the tape off of my mouth, it didn't really hurt but I screamed anyway, trying to draw attention to us. His eyes widen and he puts his hand over my mouth.
"Shut up." He says.
Then all of the sudden, I hear a gun shot, and then another one.
I bite his hand. He curses and takes it off of my mouth.
"No!" I scream. Andrew smiles at me.
"Looks like no one can save you now huh?"
"You're so stupid!" I say. He gets mad and slaps me across the face.
I fall to the ground and start to cry. Now, that hurt.
He then drags me into the shop. My eyes are closed; I'm too scared to see what happened. What if he did kill Austin? I've already almost lost him twice.
"What the…" Andrew says.
He lets go of me and that's when I see it.
I see Mike's lifeless body in the middle of a pool of blood, getting bigger.
Austin's kneeling a few feet away. His hands in his hair, his face full of shock.
"Screw this! I'm not going to go to jail!" Andrew yells and runs out the door. I hear his car drive away.
I crawl towards Austin and kneel next to him.
"Austin." I say.
"I killed him Ally," a shiver goes through his body. "I killed someone." Tears run down his face.
"He was going to kill you Austin. It was self defense." I reassure him.
He looks at me, and notices the bruise that's starting to form on my face.
"What did he do to you?" He says. He touches my face gently.
"He hit me." I try to act like I'm okay but I'm just so shaken by everything.
He puts his arms around me and I start to cry.
"Austin, you saved my life. You risked your own life, three times! You could be dead right now." I cry harder.
"But I'm not. I'm here with you, right now Ally." He says.
