Save me!
By: Hannah Showalter
Joy was visiting her boyfriend Cole. He had black slick hair and brown eyes. His house was small yet cozy. They sat on his porch swing together. "There is something I need to tell you. My brother, the one who killed your cat when you were eleven, was taken to jail for shooting someone. He is out now, but his is angry at you." said Cole. Joy gasped and replied, "What did I do to him?" "Nothing." They heard a branch break. Joy turned around and saw David, Cole's brother. "Look who I found." said a raspy voice. David pulled out a silver thing. From what she could see, it looked like a gun. "He's got a gun!" yelled Joy as she looked at Cole's eyes. They no longer shined, but raged with anger and fear. "Joy! I'll pretend to be scared and run so if he want's to shoot, he'll get me." "But-But- I can't let you do that fo-" It was to late. Cole ran and screamed like a crazy maniac. Joy could she him load a bronze bullet into the gun. "Noooooo!" Joy screamed and ran after Cole, trying to dodge the bullet. The bullet hit her in the head, but Cole didn't know that. When the shoot fired, he expected him to be a goner. He turned a saw it was Joy who fell from the shot. He gasped and ran back to his love. But when he got there, he could hardly see her precious face from the blood that saved his life. He ran to grab his phone. He dialed 911 and soon an ambulance arrived at the white house. Joy was put on a stretcher and Cole hopped in the vehicle with her. They arrived at the hospital in what seemed like hours. The doctors had her hooked up to life support. Cole, trying to be brave, ended up bursting out into tears as the doctors told him that Joy would probably die soon. He spent the whole day praying that she would heal. After many days that he was not allowed to visit her, he was finally granted permssion. Cole peaked through the door and sat down in the chair. "Uh...Hi Joy. How are you?" The pale skined girl gave a small smile. A doctor walked in the room. "She just might heal. The bullet luckly didn't hit the brain or anything else important." Cole's eyes glittered with hope as he turned to look at his girl. "She will never heal fully. She will probably have many seizures too. If any happen, take her to us right away." Cole nodded as the doctor left. "Y-you saved my life." Joy smiled and in a raspy voice, she said, "I prayed for you." "For me? For what?" "That no matter what happened, you would still feel comforted by God." "I prayed for you too, that you would heal." Both adults smiled and kissed. "Thank you God!" They both said in unison. The two ended up getting married. David was still out there and Cole figured that it wouldn't be the last encounter with him. He was right.
