You are Mine,Only Mine novel Chapter 61

"Oh my god," Henry said, shocked. Instead of going numb like I did, he rushed over to Weston and knelt on the ground next to him, dropping his rifle. "Annie, call the cops!" I watched as Annie ran as fast as she could towards the beach house. Henry then grabbed Weston's head and said, "Listen to me, sonny. We will get you help. Help is on the way."

Weston groaned and tried to pick his head up, but he let it fall back again. That's when I snapped out of my shock and ran over to Weston, stumbling over the sand and falling onto my knees next to him.

The blood gushed out of his side and I couldn't help but stare at it. My hands shook excessively as I brought it up to my mouth. I could feel the hot tears rolling of cheek and then, I completely snapped.

"Weston," I said, sobbing louder. "Westo - Wes - W - " My voice quavered and my sobbing had overcome my voice. I shook Weston's shoulders. "Weston, please don't leave me. Please stay with me."

Weston grunted and only now, I noticed his face pale, the blood draining from his face. He was losing too much blood. I clutched his hand, ripped a piece of my shirt and pressed down on his wound. I heard him groan louder.

"You may want to calm down," Henry warned. "You're hurting him more than he already is."

"Henry," Annie called, "I could hear the sirens down the street. They're coming."

"Okay, hon. Can you stand outside and call them over?"

A few seconds later, two police cars and an ambulance came to a screeching halt, their blue and red lights glowing in the dark sky. I let the police officers pull me back and watched helplessly as Weston was put onto a gurney and set into the ambulance.

One police officer grabbed the yellow infamous tape that read "caution" and wrapped it around the spot where I could still clearly see Weston's blood. I quickly averted my eyes elsewhere. Two other police officers were questioning Annie and Henry. One of the paramedics looked at me from the back of the ambulance and asked, "Would you like to come with us?"

I quickly nodded, jumping into the ambulance and trying to hold it all together as Weston lied there in pain. I felt helpless and broken. Clutching Weston's hand, I waited for our arrival at the hospital.

Jet and Eli had sat down and tried to calm down Jade who was torn. Warren sat next to me and grabbed my hand. "Can you tell me what happened?" Warren whispered and ran a shaky hand through his hair. "At least tell me something. He's my best friend, Danny. I can't bear to not know anything."

I told him the whole story and in between all that, Jade managed to calm down and listen. So did the two other boys. Warren broke down and cried after my story was told and Jade got angry again, kicking the stand of magazines down.

The doors of the waiting room banged open again and Jarred walked in with Abigail, their eyes falling on us. I began to break down again just seeing Jarred. He was my best friend and I wanted nothing to do but talk to him about all my problems.

However, I knew that Jade needed to calm down. The only remedy for that was Jarred. He shot me a look of apology for wrapping Jade in his arms. At first, she started hitting him, but he never let her go. She eventually gave up and slumped into him, crying into his shirt.

Abigail had cuddled with Eli the whole time probably sensing that he was hurt and broken. When Jet had told Jarred and Abigail the story, they went into shock. Abigail stayed with me for an hour. She became my crying shoulder. And eventually moved onto a fidgeting and freaking out Eli. She cried with Eli, feeling his pain.
