Hidden Lives, chapter 13
You scream. Oh, god. Billie is lying on the floor clutching his chest in pain. The man looks just as surprised as you that he shot him. You start to stand up when the man turns back to you. "Look what you made me do!" He yelled at you. He pointed the gun, but with a last glare he left. You ran to Billie Joe's side and dropped to your knees. You looked at him. He was still alive but out of it. He was just staring off into space. You began to cry, you hated him so much for lying to you, but you knew you loved him. A moment later there were ambulance sirens. Someone must've heard the gunshot and called 911. Police and paramedics walked through the door. The police had guns armed. When they walked in they pointed them at you. *Go ahead and shoot* you think. Everything that has happened was your fault and now Billie was shot for your mistakes. If you had only screamed that first day, and ran away. Billie would never have met you; he would be out with the guys for a beer right now instead of here, on the floor of some crummy motel, dying. You began to weep heavily, the cops lowered their guns and Billie came out of his trance, he stirred a bit before deciding not to move because of the pain. He looked at you. "Mel-Melanie?" he stuttered. This made you cry more and louder. Just then the paramedics came in and carefully picked Billie up on the stretcher and moved him out of the hotel room. "Ma'am, we'll question you later, you should go with your boyfriend, he will need support," said an officer. You get up and solemnly walk out behind Billie and the paramedics.

You hear Melanie scream. That is it. You look up and stare into nothing. You begin thinking about your life, your friends, Melanie. You don't even notice Melanie come beside you, or the police until a tear drop hits your face. You move a bit, but it hurts way too much. You notice Melanie kneeling beside you and look at her. "Mel-Melanie?" you try to ask her something but you can't. She starts crying more. Then you notice the police and the paramedics as they lift you on a stretcher. *Crap, Melanie* you think, you look back and see a police officer talking to her. Then she walks behind you and the paramedics and gets in the ambulance.
The paramedics walk around. "Melanie, I-I'm s-sorry." You whisper. "Shhh, Billie. Try and get some rest." She whispers, still crying. You know you've hurt her a lot, but she stuck with you now. You smile to cheer her up. "I will be f-fine." You tell her. She turns away.
