YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME

Chapter 12

Lindsey had no idea what to do so she jumped up and threw herself at Michael. Boom! He tried to escape from Lindsey's arms and shoot again but this time Lindsey heard a groan. She immediately let go of Michael and rushed over to Tegan.

"Tegan!" Lindsey panicked. Tegan just arched her body because of the pain. Lindsey searched the bullet wound on Tegan's body and felt relieved that she wound it on Tegan's leg. But Tegan's pain was unbelievable and Lindsey felt the anger come up in her.

"FUCK YOU!" She screamed and turned her head just to find out that she and Tegan were alone.

"Ah…shit" Tegan pressed her leg into her chest and shut her eyes.

Lindsey POV

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and called the ambulance. It only took them 4 minutes to come through the door and take care of Tegan. Her whole body was sweaty and her breathing was very irregular. Before I could process what was going on, I was at the hospital waiting to hear about Tegan as I felt my pocket vibrate. I pulled out my phone and looked at the callers ID. It was Sara.

"Hello"

"Hey Lindsey I tried to call Tegan a few times but she didn't pick up so I called you to ask if you arrived healthy."

My eyes began to tear up. All I could think about was the pain I put Tegan through. Because of me she's in the hospital and her leg is injured and maybe it is even worse than I thought.

"Lindsey?"

"Ehm…. When we arrived at my place…Tegan…She got shoot in the foot. We're at the hospital."

"Oh my god… how bad is it?"

"I don't know they haven't told me anything" My voice was shaking.

"Ok…Shit…We are gonna be there in a few hours. Call as soon as you know anything." In her voice I could hear that she was crying.

"Ok Sara I will"

With this I hung up, the tears still in my face. How could I fuck up everything so bad?

Tegan POV

I was walking throw a dark street. I couldn't see anything but I could hear footsteps following me. As I turned around they stopped. I started running but the noises kept getting louder and louder. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around only to hear a loud shot.

My eyes flew open and jumped up immediately but fell to the floor as I felt a strong pain in my leg.

"Fuck!" I groaned rubbing my leg with my hands. I looked around and found myself on the floor of a hospital room and my leg wrapped with a bandage. Memories of what happened floated throw my mind and I felt anxiety grow inside me. The last thing I remember is Lindsey screaming hysterically. What if something happened to her?

I needed to know Lindsey was alright before I could do anything else. I propped myself up leaning against the bed. I looked around for crutches but couldn't find any. Not caring if my leg will hurt I made my way to the door. Each time I took a step forward it felt like I was pushing a giant needle further inside my foot. Finally I reached the door and swung it open. Incapable of dealing with the pain anymore, I dropped to the floor, falling flat against my chest.

"Tegan?" I heard a familiar voice say as I felt someone pull me up from the ground and carry me back into the room.

"Tegan what are you doing?" She said as I tried to tear myself off of Sara's grip.

"I have to know if Lindsey's okay." I was about to jump up and run out but the pain made my collapse. Before I could hit the ground Sara wrapped her arms around me and pulled me up again.

"She called me, she's alright. Don't worry about her." Her words calmed me and I didn't fight back as she led me to the bed and sat me down.

"Where is she?" I asked relieved.

"She's in the waiting room with Emy. Do you want me to get her?" She asked while looking me in the eyes. I nodded and she left the room with telling me that she'll be back with Lindsey and Emy.

Only a few minutes later the door opened and my friends came in. Lindsey ran to me and hugged me tight kissing my cheek multiple times.

"Are you okay? Do you need something? I will get you whatever you want? Even if it's something like…" I get her to stop talking by pressing my lips against hers passionately. She returned the kiss and pulled me closer to her by gripping my gown.

"Guys we're still here!" Sara said with disgust while covering her eyes. I chuckle at her reaction and turn my gaze back to Lindsey whose face looked like she had a sun burn. She looked down at her feet clearly embarrassed that she got too carried away. I took her hand and led her to sit down next to me. She did and leaned her head against my shoulder putting her hand on my thighs. Her touch made me heat up in my nether regions and I put on my best poker face to hide it from Emy and especially Sara. She would mock me for the rest of my life.

Emy POV

It hurts seeing Tegan so weak but I'm happy that she and Lindsey finally are together. I know this might sound creepy but I wish Sara wouldn't have stopped their make out session. We should have just left the room and leave these two lovebirds do their thing. Tegan is my best friend and she always tells me everything. Not even Sara knows how much Lindsey really means to Tegan.

Dark memories came into my mind.

Tegan and I were supposed to meet in front of her apartment in LA. I was waiting for her over ten minutes so I decided to go and check on her. I got into the elevator and rode to the second floor. I knocked on the door to her apartment a few times but nothing happened so I slowly pushed the door open. I stepped into her living room finding that it's empty. I pulled out my cell-phone dialing Tegan's number. I heard it ring from the bedroom and went in unprepared of what I found. Tegan was lying in her bed face down with blood all over her arm. I rushed to the bed and turned Tegan's lifeless body around to lie on her back.

"Tegan!" I screamed while shaking her body. The blood was all over my palms. In her bed I found what caused all the blood and cuts on Tegan's arms and even on her legs. It was a razor blade. My heart stopped beating and I shook Tegan's body even harder. Suddenly she stirred and her eyes opened a bit. Tears of relive escaped my eyes. She looked at me and her eyes started to water.

"She has a boyfriend." She said quiet.

"What! Who?" I asked while pulling a tissue out of my pocket and cleaning her cuts.

"Lindsey. I can't. I need her by my side!" She started crying and I wrapped my arms around her crying into her chest.

I had to promise Tegan not to tell Sara but she had to promise me to go to therapy. She has gone there ever since and it was working.

A single tear was running down my face. I was proud of her.
