Pieces of Me by Pua Ramona (small books to read txt) 📕

left her to fucking die. Now you fucking tell me, who the fuck would you have chosen if it was your sister?” Daniel snaps. “Exactly! Now if you want to help that rapist out, I don’t give a fuck, but know that whoever helps him is dead to us.”

He looks over at Jackson and says, “We should’ve let him finish you off, but that would’ve been too easy. Death would be too sweet for you. I’ll feel better when they throw your sorry ass in prison. The guys in there will know what to do with a piece of shit like you.” I’ve never heard so much hate in Daniel’s voice before. He walks over and slides my arm from Megan's shoulders back to his.

“Get out of here and I'll clean up,” Marino says.

“How are you feeling?” Reese asks.

“I’m fine guys'' I say. My whole body is shot and I’m ready to go back to the hospital to Sina. Reese holds the door while Megan, Luka, and Daniel walk ahead of me.

“Hunter!” I turn at the sound of my name and find the guy that Daniel punched pointing right at me. Before I can move out of the way it’s too late. I hear the gun go off and I hit the floor hard. People are screaming, pushing and shoving trying to get out of the way. A second gunshot rings out and all I see is Sina’s face.

“Shit! Megan, he's fucking bleeding.” My eyes are getting heavy. “Come on Eli! Stay with me” Luka says.

“Medics are on their way,” Reese says.

“He’s losing a lot of blood Luka” Megan cries. She’s on the floor next to me trying to stop the bleeding. “He needs to go to hospital now!” she shouts. “The bullet hit him in the abdomen, if we don’t get him to the hospital now, we’re going to fucking lose him!”

“Fuck!” Luka grunts.

I grab his hand and say “It’s okay man.”

“Nah uce! Fuck that you didn’t beat that motherfucker’s ass just for you to die on me now” he cries. I can taste blood in my mouth and my vision starts to swim.

“Luka, I need your belt right now” Megan says. He takes off his belt and hands it to her as fast as he can.

“Okay sweetie, we’re going to move you a little so I can get the belt around you” Megan says calmly. Luka and Reese help to move me. She threads the belt around me and she starts tightening it.

“Fuck” I wince.

“I’m sorry, I have to stop you from bleeding Eli” she cries softly.

“Stay with us E, keep your eyes open” Luka pleads.

“Eli, come on man don’t do this” Reese says in a panic. My eyes are getting heavers and I can feel my body shutting down. Everything feels like it’s happening in slow motion.

“Medics are here” Michael’s voice carries from close by. “I’ve got a soft spot for you man, hang in there” he says as I start choking on my blood.

“We need to take him  now,” says one of the medics. They slide me onto a stretcher and I can’t keep my eyes open anymore.

“No, No, No keep your eyes open Mr. Hunter. You’re doing good”, the medic tells me as I’m loaded into the ambulance.

“Megan, you ride with him and we’ll be right behind you guys” Luka says.

“Hang in there Eli” I hear Reese’s voice crack. I want to tell him that I’m okay, but they all know that I’m not. I’m losing a lot of blood and I can feel it. I hear the doors close and the siren starts going off.

I feel Megan holding my hand. “Do you remember when I told you that you weren’t good enough for my sister?” she asks. I don’t because the little shit never said that to my face. “Oh, it was probably in my head then” she tries laughing to hide her cries. I try squeezing her hand to let her know I can hear her.

I slowly move the oxygen mask off my face and force my eyes open.

“Megan,” I say as her tears start to fall. I squeeze her hand and say again, “Megan. Please tell her that I’ve always loved her and that I’ll always love her no matter what happens.”

“Shh, the doctor’s going to fix you up then we’ll take you to Sina. How does that sound?” she cries and I start coughing.

“He needs to put this mask on,” the medic tells her, but there’s no use, I’m tired now.

“Eli, you’ve always been the perfect guy for Sina” Megan cries. “Thank you for saving her.” She kisses my hand, then leans in and kisses my cheek. “You did good Hunter; you did fucking good.”

I could feel my own tears falling on the side of my face. Sina is going to be okay, she’s safe now. I hear beeping and the sound starts to fade into one long sound.

“We’re losing him,” the medic calls to his partner.

“No! Eli. You don’t get to leave now.” I hear Megan yelling. “You don’t get to save my sister just to break her heart again. Do you hear me? Stay with us.” She squeezes my hand. There’s a lot of yelling going on and it sounds like we’re in a tunnel . “We’re here, just hold on just a little” she sobs.

“Sina” I whisper. I’m tired. I squeeze Megan’s hand one last time and I slowly take my last breath, because I know Sina is going to be fine and I can be at peace.

Chapter Sixty-Four

Sina

It’s bright, too bright. I try opening my eyes, but the light hurts my eyes. “Open your pretty eyes sweetie.” I blink a few times and slowly force them open.

“Mama?” I whisper. My throat is so dry I can barely get the word out.

“There she is. Did you have a nice nap?” she asks.

“Where are we?” I whisper.

“At the hospital,” she says as I tried to move, but my whole body is sore.

I
