Chapter 12

A few minutes later she opened her eyes and noticed Kevin, Brian, Nick, AJ, Sheri, Jaime, and Karla were kneeling next to her. "Lisa are okay?" Kevin asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm fine, but Kyle is upstairs so you have to leave now," she cried.

"No we are staying here with you," Sheri said.

"Oh well look at this. I see everyone has joined us," Kyle said coming down the stairs. "Get up Lisa," he said pulling a gun from his back pocket. "Come here."

"No, she won't. She is staying right here with me," Kevin said stepping in front of her.

"I'd move if I were you pretty boy. Me and her have some unfinished business to finish."

"If you're talking about how you killed Jacob then you have unfinished business with all of us. Because we all know you were the cause of his death."

"Tsk, tsk Lisa. That was our little secret. You know what happens to people who can't keep a secret. They get punished," he said raising the gun.

"Move pretty boy," he motioned for him to move to the side.

"No. I'm not going anywhere. I love her and I'm going to protect her till the day I die."

"Well then, I guess your time's up," he said as he started to pull the trigger.

"No," Everyone screamed. Sheri ran and dove in front of Kevin just as the gun went off twice. She fell to the ground with a thud. "Now its your turn," Kyle yelled and pointed the gun at Kevin. All of a sudden Jaime leaped on him and knocked him to the floor. The gun went sliding across the floor.

Nick ran and grabbed it. "Get up Kyle. It's over," Nick said.

"You want a bet," he ran towards Nick. The two men landed on the floor and were wrestling for the gun as everyone watched in horror. Suddenly the gun went off and the wrestling stopped.

"Howie call the police and tell them to get here quickly," Brian screamed as he ran to the two men on the floor.

"Nick?" Jaime cried running to Brian's side crying.

"Hey, don't cry Jaime," Nick said quietly.

"Nick! You're alive!" she exclaimed as she and Brian helped him up.

"Hey man. I thought we lost ya," Brian said, thankful he didn't lose his best friend.

"How is Sheri?" Nick asked.

"She got shot twice. One in each shoulder." Brian replied.

"How about Lisa? How is she taking this?" he asked.

"I'm not really sure. Kevin and Karla are with her. Come on, we better go wait for the cops to get here." And the three of them went outside and waited.
