They got closer, I couldn't move, my feet were like glued to the pavement. I went from fearless to scared to terrified in a matter of minutes.
After today my life will never be the same...
*BANG BANG*
-------------------------------Seconds Earlier--------------------
They continued to get closer and closer and..closer, my breathing was going all weird, I couldn't move and I didn't know why. I was sure this was the end, I was preparing myself. I mean there wasn't much I could prepare for because I had no idea what to expect. What does dying feel like? What does being shot feel like? Does it hurt? Will I die right away, or have to suffer through until I finally take my last breath? All the questions going through my head, making me panick more. I could barely breathe now. They were literally right in front of me now, he loaded his gun and put his finger on the trigger. Dante brought the gun up and pointed it at me, aiming for right dead in the center of my forehead.
No. This is not how my life is going to end, terrified and weak. No. That's no who I am. Isabelle Marie Lovato never backs down, she fights back. I quickly directed my gaze to the other members of the gang, checking if any of them had guns as well. First Ally, she had nothing. Then Christian, he also had nothing, and finally Brisel, she had nothing as well. So only Dante has a gun, I can work with that. At this moment the adrenaline was rushing through my body, it was like a tingly feeling that made you feel like the Hulk. I am not backing down now, I am not going down without a fight.
Before he could pull the trigger, I grabbed his wrist and twisted it all in one swift move. He winced in pain and let go of his grip on the gun, it fell to the ground. I let go of his wrist and without hesitation I punched him, I kept punching him over and over, I had no control and I couldn't stop. I didn't want to stop. There was blood everywhere some mine, but mostly his. His blood was all over my clothes but that was the least of my worries. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Christian, Ally, and Brisel running over to us. I had no idea where my friends were, I hear a bunch of screaming in the distance, it might be them now that I think of it, but I'm not letting them get involved. This is my fight and I will finish it, and I will finish it once and for all.
I looked around, it took me a second to locate it but I found it just in time. Christian came at me first and without thinking, I pulled the trigger.
*BANG BANG*
-------now-----
I shot him right in the chest and he immediately fell to the ground and within seconds, he was laying in a pool of his own blood, lifeless. But I didn't stop there, every ounce of sanity and control has been replaced with rage, and I couldn't be stopped now.
*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG*
I just kept shooting and shooting until there were no more bullets, it happened so fast, when reality finally hit I realized what I had just done. I looked around and all four of them were dead, lifeless, no longer living. I just shot and killed four people. I'm a murderer.
I just stood there in complete shock of the realization of what I just did. Something inside just took over, something that I couldn't control, something that just caused me to kill four fucking people. I fell to my knees and held my head in my hands, silently crying. Questions running through my head. 'What's gonna happen to me? What do we do with the bodies? Do we just leave them here for someone to find? Do we hide them? What if someone finds them and I get caught? No that won't happen, I will not let that happen. What do we do with the gun? And the blood? My fingerprints are probably all over the gun so if someone finds it, it'll be traced back to me. I have to hide the gun. What do I do about my clothes? There's blood all over them and I can't have my mom wash them because she'll ask questions. I'll throw them out. Do I tell my friends what happened? Oh my god. My friends.'
I was knocked out of my thoughts by people screaming, I look around and see my friends by the entrance of the courts. When I saw them you could probably hear my heart shattering. Shannon was crying histerically. Jackie and Emma were comforting her, they also had tears in their eyes and fear was written on their faces. Jake was just standing there. Our eyes met but I couldn't read what he was feeling, which worried me because usually it was the easiest thing to do. We continued to look into each others eyes, this time I saw shock and fear. I looked away and looked back towards Shannon, who was still crying but a little less, Jackie and Emma. The only thing going through my mind is that hopefully they won't tell. They wouldn't do that though, I trust them.
I picked myself up and stood on my feet, I was a little shaky and dizzy at first, but once I gained my balance I made my way over to my friends.
It took a lot to walk all the way over to them but once I was standing in front of the four people that just watched me almost get shot, they almost witnessed their close friend dying. I can't imagine how they must've felt, no wonder they're all shaken up, because on top of that, they also had to witness their friend murder four people, and not just quick shooting, I had lost all control, it's like I became this whole other person, someone that I never want to see again. I murdered 4 people, brutally beat one guy up until he was lifeless, then used his gun to continuously shoot his friends. There was more blood than The Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, and it was all because of me. So I could see why they were in the state they were.
"...hi" I spoke barely audible. They all looked at me and it couldn't have been more awkward. There was just silence and all eyes were on me. That lasted a good two minutes until the silence was broken.....
"oh my god izzy!" Jackie, Emma, and Shannon shouted and tackled me to the ground in a group hug. Not gonna lie having people that I care about and that care about me, and that I can be myself around, feels nice. They got off me and helped me up.
"i'm so glad you're okay, i was so scared and worried" shannon spoke still obviously crying a little bit.
"they deserved it" emma added in.
"yeah seriously, like it is about time someone took those bastards down. They were just making everyones life hell." Jackie agreed.
"but do you idiots even know what this means?!" jake yelled, which startled all of us. We shifted our gaze to him, signaling to continue.
"Do you not think there are others?? They are part of a gang you dumbass', which means there is like at least 15 others, and once they figure out what happened they won't stop until the person responsible pays for what they did." he said angrily. I've never seen Jake this angry before.
"but that's just it. They don't know who did it and they won't find out unless one of you tell, and I don't think anyone else saw or else the police would've been here already. You guys aren't gonna tell right?" i asked with fear in my voice.
"no of course not" they all reasurred me.
"especially since we were witnessed it and didn't say anything, so we would also get in trouble" jake added.
"but no one knows that you guys witnessed it except for us, so if I was to get busted they wouldn't know you were there too unless I told them, and I wouldn't tell them either." I reassurred them.
"now all we got to figure out is what to do with the bodies and the gun" Emma stated, "and fast." We all sighed heavily. I felt a buzzing in my pocket, must be my phone. I took it out and looked at the caller ID, a picture of me and my mom came up, oh shit. I pressed answer.
