My angel looked beautiful laying there on an ambulance stretcher. Her shiny blonde hair was tied up in a scruffy pony. I call her little miss chatterbox, most of the time her constant talking was annoying although it is one of the main reasons why I love her so. From the moment I first saw her she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and she continues to be so even to do this day and hope forever more.

For a moment, just thinking about the girl I love, I forgot about the predicament that she was in. If it wasn't for her injuries she had because of that moron and the blood she has lost then I would have called my sleeping beauty too.

The ambulance was cramped, my ears were screaming because of the howling siren warning everybody we were coming. The paramedic was keeping tabs on Kim's breathing with a mobile machine and Kim was wearing a oxygen mask. I wish Milton was with me he would understand what the paramedic was doing.

"I know it looks scary but I need to monitor her breathing until we get her to the hospital. I am not able to clean her up as the police may need evidence" the paramedic explained "Hold her hand, talk to her, let her know that you are here with her if might help her"

I took her hand in mine, it was cold as ice. Her usually peach coloured skin had turned grey as she fought for life. "Kim I really hope this works I feel stupid sat here talking to you when I am not even sure that you can hear me. However the paramedic told me this could help you get better. I hope she is right. You would be laughing if you could because this is so mad. Who would have thought this morning would have brought us here"

"You are doing really well" the paramedic told me when I paused. "we are almost there"

I nodded "Did you hear that Kim? We are nearly at the hospital. Kim did I ever tell you how much I love you? Did I ever say how much you really mean to me? I don't think there are enough words in the world to describe how much I love you. I have loved you from that very first moment I saw you in the school cafeteria, for now and forever more. Please don't let him win, don't let him take you away from me"

Tears rolled down my cheeks as reality punched me in the face. My best friend took a bullet and lost his life to our girls. My girlfriend is fighting for life. All because of one stupid boy. One stupid decision.

After what seemed like hours, which were really only minutes we eventually made it to the hospital. Kim's body was giving up with fighting for life and the paramedic was desperately trying to revive her in the back of the ambulance. Doctors and nurses appeared and ushered me out of the ambulance. The paramedic had jumped onto the stretcher with Kim to continue to try revive her as they were wheeled into the Emergency department.

I followed them as quickly as I could. My head was swimming with questions.

I was made to wait outside the resuscitation room while they worked to bring Kim back. I was restless. I couldn't sit still, not while Kim is fighting for life in there. I kept pacing forwards and backwards. What if she doesn't make it? I don't think I could cope with losing both of the most important people in my life. I hope Kim doesn't let that monster win. Kim needs to pull through. She needs to keep being the fighter I know she is.

I screamed and punched the wall. I rested my head against the wall. What is going on? Why has no-one told me what is going on?

Moments later Kim was wheeled past me and into a surgery room. A nurse briefly stopped to tell me that Kim was fighting for life and her best chance would be emergency surgery to patch up some of her deeper wounds. I just hope she survives this. I need her to survive this.

A nurse came out of the surgery room and dashed past me. "Sorry"

I chased after her. "Please you must be able to tell me something!"

In a moment of great desperation I grabbed her wrist. "Please tell me what's going on?"

"I'm sorry but I don't know" she said "They've only just taken her in and started to fix her but as soon as we can someone will come out and speak to you"

"Jack!"

I looked away from the nurse.

Milton was walking towards me with his arm draped around Donna. He was speaking to me, I could see his lips moving but I couldn't hear his words. It was like my world had slowed to a turtle crawl.

"Milton, Donna Kim's been rushed into emergency surgery. All the nurses are refusing to tell me what's going on it sucks!" I screamed punching the wall again. My cheeks were burning thanks to all of my tears. I hated crying in front of my friends. "Milton I don't think I could cope if I loose Kim as well"

I don't want to live without her. She is the best person I have ever met, she always finds a way to make sure that everybody is happier before thinking of herself.

"Donna have you been checked over yet?" I asked gently.

She shook her head as Milton made her sit down. "It's not important not when..." she motioned to the surgery room.

"Donna" I said softly.

"Jerry is dead because of me Jack!" she screamed.
