Twenty-five: Bloody rain

Temperance

My body crashes into the cement, my hands covering my ringing ears. I open my eyes, feeling my heart drop as I'm covered in blood.

"Emaline!" I shriek once I locate the source of the blood.

I jump towards her putting her limp body on my lap.

Then there is another loud gunshot. And Tj is on the ground bleeding. He shot himself.

I don't know where. Nor do I care. I only care about the girl that's bleeding out in front of me.

"Is she alive?" Zander screams at me. With shaky hands, I reach toward her neck. My hand slips from the blood before I'm able to press my fingers around her neck.

I find the spot where I'm supposed to feel her pulse. "N... no." The sound of the rain drowns my voice out.

I press harder on her neck before having my hand retreat. I place my hand on her chest, where she was shot. Her face continues to lose its color as I press down on her wound, the blood seeping through my fingers.

Her blond hair is already soaked with her dark blood.
