Dancing Girl

Brian POV

*GUN-SHOT*

I can’t help but close my eyes at the sound of the trigger of the gun. The last thing I have seen was Zacky, Matt and the other person fighting over the gun.
It went off.
Someone must have been hit as I hear more shouting now, even more than before. I dread to open my eyes: I am afraid of what I might have to face. I am afraid that one of my best friends is hit.
“FUCK!! Call the ambulance, now!! No, no stay with me come on!”

I open my eyes and tilt my head to the side, towards them. I see a lot of commotion and some of them are crouched. Who the hell is shot?!
I try to speak but I end up coughing, unable to voice my concerns. Slowly I try to get up. I roll to my side, put my hands to the ground and help myself to get up. I drag myself towards the others and try and look at the persons.
“Come on you need to stay with me! Did you call the ambulance? Fuck!!” Jason is shouting. I push Jason to the side to be able and see for myself.
No way. No this cannot be happening.

I keep staring at the lifeless body, watching the blood coming out, his body pale white.
This cannot be happening.
I hear some thunder and instantly it starts raining like cats and dogs.
At that moment I look to my side and notice that the first man that Zacky was fighting earlier on is moving. Scared he gets up as quickly as he could and starts running away.
The hell he will. And not this time, after all this.
With all my strength I go running after him, and as soon as I get close to him I literally jump on him to pin him down. I grab him from the collar and manage to lift him up in one swift and I pin him to the wall, and I punch him in the nose.
He screams and yells in pain.
“What your friend did to me was not enough?!” he yells at me.
“Far from enough. Can you see him now? Can you?! He is barely alive, fighting for his life because of you pricks working for Rick. We are fucking done of your bullshit! We are not going to send Katelyn to Rick, and we are not going to let her speak to that douchebag ever again!! Do you understand me?!?” I yell in his face.
He does and says nothing, and with all the rage that was roaming my body I start punching him in his face, making him bleed even more than before.
Right now I don’t care if I fucking kill this man with my own bare hands, I am fucking done! And Zacky is laying lifeless on the ground. He was fucking hit! He was the victim of that one gun-shot! I glance at his body, still the same and Jason is looking all worried.
This makes me angrier than before and I start hitting this jerk even more.
I pull out his wallet and grab his ID: Roger Freeman.
“Well Roger, look at me”. I yell but he does nothing. I grab him from the collar, yelling even more, “I said fucking look at me!” I spit at him and now he looks at me.
“Roger, I want you to deliver this message to that boss of yours who is locked into prison. Tell him we are still not intimidated by him, and we have nothing else to do with him. He has to give up his hopes he still holds for Katelyn and fucking leave us the hell alone! And I swear to God, if Zacky dies, I will be the one to go and visit him in the prison. Yes, I will be the one being there, and I swear to God that he will piss himself off because at that moment he will realize that his time has come and I will fucking kill him myself! I don’t care if I would end up in prison for the rest of time, but I will fucking do it!”

I start punching Roger even more, at the thought off Zacky dying.
“BRIAN!” I hear a female screaming my name. I cannot look at her, not now. I leave Roger and I stand up. Both of my hands are dripping blood, my shirt is all wet and has splatters of blood. No, I cannot let her seeing me like this. I simple cannot.
“Go away! I told you to stay inside the car, goddamn it, why didn’t you listen to me?!” I yell, as I still give her my back.
“Brian look at me please! And what happened?” she begs.
“Brian I got a pulse! I got a fucking pulse! Thank God!!” Jason screams.
Quickly I run towards Jason and look at Zacky. He is still unconscious, lifeless and losing more blood from his stomach area, but Jason managed to find a pulse. He is still alive. I sigh deeply.
“Hang on buddy! You will be all right!!” I tell to the lifeless body of Zacky in front of me.
I hear Katelyn gasping from behind me, so I slowly get up and this time I decide to face her.
“Stay there and don’t come over here!” I tell her, making sure I am not yelling at her. She looks so scared and cold, since her clothes are drenching wet with the rain water.
“Brian please I need to see” she begs me, starting to cry.
“No you stay there. You don’t need to see this” I tell her once more.
“Is he going to make it?” she asks me, making one small step forward. I know what she’s doing, she’s trying to distract me in some way to be able to come here.
“I know what you’re doing Katelyn. Please. I don’t want you to see him like this” I tell her with a serious tone.

At that instant the ambulance comes along and 2 nurses comes down from the vehicle, dragging a stretcher with them. I look at them as they lift Zacky’s body from the ground, put him on the stretcher and put him back to the ambulance.
“What happened to these guys?” one of the nurses asked Matt Berry.
“Some punching that is all”, he reassured them nothing worse than that.
The nurses closes the door behind them and one of them looks at us.
“Only one of you can come along. Who would that be?”
Everyone starts looking at me, even Katelyn. As much as I want to be with him right now, I feel really weak and decide not to.
“Jason you can go with Zacky. Everyone will meet you at the hospital real soon. Just send us the details” I finally manage to tell them. Jason nods as he gets into the ambulance and they leave.
“Matt you can go and follow them with your car, so Jason will have someone at that moment you’ll arrive” I tell Matt.
“What about you?” he asks me, looking at me.
“We will soon be there” I tell him with a really low voice.
He comes next to me and pats on my shoulder, “Brian don’t worry he will make it. It is Zacky for Christ’s sake, he will fight through anything!”
I nod at him, thank him and he leaves me alone with Katelyn, still in the pouring rain.

The both of us are still standing far from each other, and we are just standing still, waiting for one of us to break the silence. And that once is Katelyn.
“Brian, are you okay?” she asks me with a pleading voice.
I cannot think straight. I am still processing everything that just happened. I look by the side and see the two bloody bodies lying on the ground. Then I look at the bloody spot where Zacky’s body just had been a couple of minutes ago. What if he dies? What if he doesn’t fight back like Jason had told me before he left in the ambulance? Avenged Sevenfold will not be the same. Fuck that, my life will never be the same. I had known Zacky since we were kids, he is my brother from another mother. I don’t think I can live without him being part of my life. Before they took Zacky away I took a glance at him and he did not look good. He was pale, lifeless, barely breathing.
All kinds of emotions roam my body: from anger to sadness. It is too much for me, I feel overwhelmed and dizzy.
I fall to my knees and give up, I break down. I bring my hands to my face and try to hide myself, not wanting Katelyn that I am crying. But the feelings are too much for me and I cannot control myself.
I feel two hands around my neck, pulling me to meet her body.
“Shush Brian….it will be okay I promise you!” Katelyn whispers to me as she tries to soothe me. She kisses my temple and she starts stroking my face with her fingers.
“I…h..have blood….you’ll” she cuts me off.
“I know I know”.
I put my arms around her tiny waist, still crying at the haunted thoughts of Zacky being dead.

Both of us are sitting on the ground in the pouring rain when we hear some tires screeching. I don’t even look up, I don’t want to face any more bullshit right now.
“What the fuck! What happened?” I hear Matt yell as he gets out of his car.
“Katelyn. Brian. What happened?” Arin asks again, in his calm manner.
I pull myself up, and sit in Katelyn’s lap, not saying a word.
“Whose blood is that Haner? Are you hurt?” Arin asks me. I look at Katelyn, thinking from where I should start. She nods when all of sudden I feel my head being turned by Matt.
“Goddamn it Brian, just tell us everything!”
“It’s not mine. I don’t know whose blood is this actually. These 2 men are Rick’s pals. Zacky has been shot and taken to the hospital” I explain as Arin puts his hand up, stopping me from continue.
“Say that again” he whispers.
“Zacky is shot, and it does not look good guys” I whisper. I get up, Katelyn helping me to do so. She grabs my face as she sees I’m about to break down again. She puts her forehead with mine, closes her eyes as I exhale deeply.
“WHAT?” Matt yells.
“Jason is with Zacky. He will send us the details as soon as he arrives to the hospital”, I tell them, looking at them and holding Katelyn in my arms.
“FUCK!!!” Matt yells as he throws the metal rod that was lying on the ground. Arin starts pacing the street, as he brings out his phone.
“Whom are you calling Arin?” I ask him.
“I am calling Kim. They need to know what’s going on!” he replies.
My phone goes off. Quickly I get it out from my pockets and sigh when I look at the caller ID.
“Any news Jason?” I immediately ask.
“Yes they just took Zacky to the emergency, most probably they will perform an operation to be able to take out the bullet. He’s still alive but they didn’t tell me anything else, even though I asked them too. Dicks! Anyways I will text you the details just now after the call” he says.
“Good. We will be there soon” I end the call and put the phone back in my jeans.

Almost instantly I receive his text with the details we need.
“Let’s go guys!” I yell as all of us get back to our cars, speeding to the hospital.
Just hang on Zacky, you will make it! At least that is what I hope for!
