Hey guys, please forgive me for updating so slowly, I'm really sorry. I have lots of drama in my own life going on plus school so I can't really find much time to write chapters. I hope you also like where the story's going, I'm trying to put some more drama in it again. If you have any suggestions let me know and please review (:

Enjoy the chapter! (:

Chapter 48

iCan't believe this

~ * Brad * ~

I look around in panic and pure desperation and shock as I pull an unconscious Freddie into the hospital, I look at his bleeding stomach, shivering.

I look around and yell. ''Can someone please help me get this guy to the ER!? He's been shot in his stomach!''

I gulp and I shiver as I say that. Is this reality!? Why does Freddie have to go through all this shit lately!? He's a good guy!

I look up at a nurse that comes running towards me with a wheelchair. She puts Freddie in it. ''Come with me. You did a very good job bringing him here, and that all on your own. You can be proud of yourself.''

I walk with her as she rushes to the emergency room. Why should I be proud of myself? Of course I brought him here, I'm not gonna let my best friend lie unconscious in a city that's on fire while he's been shot in his stomach!

I bite my lip as she brings Freddie into a surgery room. The nurse leaves and a doctor walks over to me. ''Can you tell what happened to him? Tell as much details as you know.'' The doctor smiles at me friendly.

''Well we went to get some grocery and then we drove back, through the east side of Seattle. Then suddenly we saw lots of buildings around us were on fire, and the fire expanded to all the other buildings very quickly. So we tried to get out of the car and out of the panicking crowd but then we saw three guys with guns who were shooting people! We tried to get out of the crowd but then I lost sight of him. And suddenly I hear lots of loud bang so I walk around and see him being shot in his stomach!'' I bite my lip, it's hard to tell him this. I've seen something horrible…I don't think that will ever be erased from my memory.

''And then I brought him here…'' I say quietly.

The doctor nods. ''Okay. Thank you. You did a great job taking him here. We're going to give him surgery. I can tell you that shooting wounds in the stomach usually aren't fatal, so there's a very high chance he'll be okay.'' He smiles at me friendly again.

I nod. ''Alright thank you…''

''Please wait in the waiting section around the corner. You can get something to drink and call some of his family members or friends if you want. I'll send someone of our other section to give you some support for the things you've seen, that's not nothing.'' He puts his hand on my shoulder and then walks away.

I nod and sigh, walking to the waiting section. I grab some water with shaking hands and sit down. I sip my water slowly and stare ahead of me. Everything that happened suddenly hits me and I get flashbacks. I feel my eyes getting slightly watery and bite my lip to not cry.

I've never experienced anything like this in my life. I feel like I'm in some kind of shock. I grab my phone, I can barely hold it without dropping it. I send Carly the shortest text ever, as my hands shake so bad that I can't type properly. 'At ER in hospital, bring Sam. 3U x'

I hope Carly comes soon. I need her more than ever right now…

~ * Carly * ~

Me and Sam rush into the hospital and to the ER room. Brad's text really scared me. I look around for Brad and Freddie.

''Oh there he is!'' Sam says and we run over to Brad.

He looks super pale and like he's cried… I've never seen him like this, it's concerning me more than I've ever done before.

I sit down next to him and wrap my arms around him, hugging him close to me. ''Brad baby, what's wrong what happened?''

I look at him even more worried when he stares ahead of him, not saying anything. Sam looks at me biting her lip. And I understand what she means, if Brad's sitting here in the waiting room, that means that something's seriously wrong with Freddie.

Sam stands up. ''I'm gonna go find a nurse and ask what happened…''

I nod and look after Sam as she walks away.

I hug Brad tightly and rub his shoulder. ''It's okay baby…I'm here, everything's gonna be okay…'' I bite my lip. I look at the empty cup in his hand. ''You want some more water?''

Brad nods slowly. I stand up and take his cup from him. ''I'll be right back.''

I fill Brad's cup with water and walk back to him, handing him the cup. ''Here you go babe…''

Brad takes it and I sit down next to him again, taking his hand in mine. ''I love you Brad…I'm here for you.''

Brad cracks a small smile and puts his shaking hand on top of mine. I peck his lips softly. Something huge must've happened… I hope Freddie's okay!

I stand up biting my lip as I see Sam walking back, wiping her own tears. I hug her. ''Is Freddie okay? What happened?''

Sam pulls away from the hug and looks at me. ''T-there's been a shooting…Brad and Freddie were in the middle of it when they came back from grocery shopping. The doctor said they both probably have seen some horrible things…And Freddie…h-he's been shot…'' Sam cries.

I widen my eyes. ''What!? Oh my god…I-is he…'' I look at her with pure fear in my eyes.

She shakes her head quickly. Oh thank god… Sam continues. ''He's been shot in his stomach…he's in surgery right now. They say these kind of wounds usually aren't fatal so I guess that's…a good thing…'' She wipes her tears away.

I nod and pull Sam in a hug again. ''It's gonna be okay…Freddie's gonna be okay, he's strong!''

Sam nods and we walk back to Brad, both sitting down next to him again. Sam looks at me. ''Brad saw Freddie…'' she gulps. ''y'know…The doctor said he's probably in shock, he's send a nurse to check up on him, she'll be right here.''

Sam rubs Brad's back. ''You're gonna be okay Brad, I know you've seen some horrible things…it's over now. You're safe, we're here for you.'' She smiles slightly at him.

I admire how strong Sam is, and I don't only mean her physical strength. She has been through A LOT of horrible things in her life and she still manages to push through and be there for other people. First her own personal family drama and now lately these things happening to Freddie that she has to cope with. I'm so proud of her and the person she is.

I never would've been able to cope if I had to go through all the things she's been through. Maybe that's why I never have any personal problems…because some certain person knows that I won't be strong enough to handle it…

Brad looks at me and Sam and talks quietly. ''H-how is Freddie?...''

I smile slightly as he speaks, that means he's not in complete shock.

''He's still in surgery… Hey I heard you pulled him in here all the way from the city completely on your own, good job buddy, and thanks.'' Sam smiles at Brad.

Brad smiles back at her slightly. ''O-of course…''

I hug him again. ''I'm so proud of you baby.''

Brad smiles at me. ''Thanks…''

So there we sit again, the three of us, waiting for news about Freddie. Man it's like a deja-vu from a few months ago.

In the past few minutes I've seen my best friend in surgery, my other best friend in tears and my boyfriend in shock…life's being nice to us again. I sigh. I just hope Freddie will be okay, and I hope Brad will come over this.

I rest my head on Brad's shoulder wrapping my arm around him and my other arm around Sam. ''I love you guys…Freddie's gonna be okay, and we're all gonna get through this together, like we always do. '' I smile slightly at both of them and they smile back at me the same way.

What a day…
