Death at the concert (well nearly!), chapter 3
ALEX'S POV
Well it was all going great. First song, Welcome to Paradise, my second favourite. Until the man behind me (the shifty guy) opened his coke bottle. I knew it would be trouble. I knew it. He opened his bottle and there was no liquid inside. Instead, a gun. He muttered "One bullet, one life." He lifted the gun. On the stage, Billie Joe turned to look at him. As the shifty guy cocked the gun I decided what to do. Billie"s life was worth more than mine. As the man fired, I dived in front of the bullet.
BILLIE JOE'S POV
Oh my God. I couldn't believe it. That girl took the bullet for me! I ran off the stage and ran up those endless steps. All I could think was "Is that kid gonna be okay?" I nudged a person staring at the girl. "Has anyone rung the ambulance?" The guy shook his head. "What are you doing staring at the girl like she's in a zoo! Call them. You've got a phone. I know, it's hanging out your pocket!" The man scrambled in his pocket and rung up them. I lent down over the girl. "Is she breathing?" I asked frantically. "Yeah, but not steadily" muttered a woman who was also leaning over her. Blood was pouring from a wound. I felt faint. "Oh my God" I mumbled again and again. "Anyone got anything to stop it bleeding?" I yelled. People around me shook their heads. I heard one girl say "Am not gettin" my clothes dirty with blood stains." I ripped off my jacket and placed it on the wound. Right by the heart. Not likely she would live.
Finally the ambulance arrived. I helped the ambulance people lift her in. "You know this girl?" asked a man. "No, but this gal saved my life." I said quietly.
"You better come in then." he responded.
At the hospital, I wasn't allowed to see the girl. I really hoped she'd live. Please. please. PLEASE!!!!
ALEX'S POV
I was just lying there with thoughts running through my head. You're dead. The bullet hit you. There's no way you could live. i opened my eyes. There was BILLIE JOE!!!!! "Billie Joe!" I shreiked. Then I panicked. "The bullet shot right through me! Then hit you! Now we are both dead! AAHH!!!"
"Calm down, kiddo!" said Billie Joe calmly. "No, you're alive and I am too. you saved me."
