Chapter 0170
“Fuck, it hurts” Emma screams in agony, making me come out of my shock just in time to see the man
raise his pistol.
I scramble to take the gun that I had dropped and immediately fire. He drops to the ground. I get up rush to Emma, who was writhing on the ground.
and
I don’t even check if the man was alive or dead. Right now, it didn’t fucking matter to me. Not when I’m pumped full of adrenaline and Emma was bleeding on the ground.
“I’m dying aren’t I?” she asks with tears filling her eyes.
I could have told her to stop being a cry baby, but I don’t. Not when she’s the one that shoved me and
took a bullet that was meant to be mine.
“No, you are not” I respond as I examine her.
She’d been shot in the shoulder, and it was bleeding a lot. I was worried. First of all, she might just bleed to death, and second, we were still in danger. Someone was bound to find us eventually.
“You’re lying!” she hisses when I put pressure on the wound. “If I’m not dying then why the hell does it feel like I am?”
I don’t answer. Choosing instead to focus on stopping the bleeding. As teachers, we are required to know basic first aid. The bullet was still lodged inside, so I couldn’t remove it. Not without knowing the extent of the damage. Instead, I rip the hem of my dress and tie it tightly around her shoulder.
Sure, others might reason that it was Emma’s decision to take the bullet for me. That I didn’t ask her to do it, but Rowan might not see it that way. He will take one look at his bleeding precious Emma and blame me.
“Yesss. That’s a gooood idea” she slurs, tipping forward, almost tripping both of us.
