I wasn't married. I hadn't even turned 20 yet. My life had hardly begun.
I let out a small sigh as I forced myself to cup his face with my right hand, wiping away the tears that had fallen onto his cheek.
"It's okay" I managed to say, my voice coming out small and hoarse as my eyes fluttered closed.
"Don't you fucking dare" Miles voice boomed causing my eyes to shoot open.
He and Griffin jumped over the table that was protecting Xavier and I, Kat, Xamira and Jordan covering for them.
"Don't you fucking dare close your eyes" He repeated, wiping away the tears from my eyes.
"You still owe me 20 dollars so don't fucking think that dying will relieve you from your debt because I will follow you to the fucking grave" Miles said, rolling his eyes but a stray tear rolled down his face.
"Can you walk?" Griffin asked me, his face etched with concern.
He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and placed it firmly on my bullet wound, replacing my hand with his before pressing over it.
With the help of Xavier, I managed to get into a squatting position, still protected by the table that was in front of us.
I feebly nodded my head as my voice seemed to be gone.
"Wyatt is over by the back door. Xavier will follow you to make sure you get to him safely while I will follow the both of you to make sure you get to him safely. He's going to help with your injury, all right?" Griffin explained, cocking his gun.
Since when is Wyatt a doctor?
"His brother, Zayn. He's a doctor" Miles said, reading my mind yet again like he always did.
"Chica" Kat's voice boomed and my eyes fell on her.
She smirked at me out of the corner of her eyes as she flipped a man over by his arm, pressing her bare foot to his face. "Get through this"
"Yeah" Xamira grunted, smiling as she threw her heels at a masked guy - it landed in his eye causing him to let out a blood curdling scream.
"You're a boss bitch. If you die because of a simple bullet, I'll be fucking pissed" Xamira added.
"I'll personally wear pink to your funeral and dance on your grave" Jordan stated as he shot a bullet at the intruders - the bullet piercing through two of the guys' chest.
I managed a small smile as Miles pushed the table away from the wall a little, creating a small space where Xavier, Griffin and I could escape from.
"On three," Griffin said, his gun firmly in his hand. "One. Two-"
"Fuck this" Xavier muttered before scooping me into his arms and making a run for it.
I buried my face in his chest as he ran towards the back door, Griffin yelling something that I couldn't quite make out as he ran behind us.
Somehow, we managed to get to the back door unharmed - at least that's what I thought as Xavier put me down until I noticed the red spot on his stomach.
"I'm okay" He smiled, placing a kiss on my forehead.
"What the actual fuck was that, Xavier?" Griffin spat in Xavier's face after he checked to make sure that I was okay.
"I protected her?" Xavier shot back, shoving Griffin back a bit in order to get him out of his face.
"We had a fucking plan. Did you not hear me or did you just choose to be stupid?" Griffin asked, his voice a little louder as he shoved Xavier back, much harder than Xavier did to him.
