Chapter 106: Nikki

Everything happens quickly, too quickly for me to connect each fragmented dot. A large body lands atop of mine, making the both of us grunt out in pain. I look up and hear another gun go off, this one much closer than the last and my eyes widen when I realize not only is Bronson on top of me, but he’s been shot.

“Bronson!” I panic, pushing him off me, and placing him onto the ground. Rand runs over as well as I check over Bronson’s body, trying to figure out where the pool of blood under us is coming from.

“Nikki.” He grunts out, but I place my fingers down on his lips, stopping him from whatever pathetic last-minute speech he wants to give me. I will not let him die. I can’t lose anyone else.

“Stop, just save it, you’re getting out of here, do you hear me? Rand I are going to take you to a hospital and get you help.” Bronson’s hand reaches out and gently rests on my cheek. A single tear falls from my eye, something I don’t even realize as time stands still.
