Waking up

Hey Guys,

Here's another story!

It all seemed like it was happening in slow motion, yet it was over in a second. Time stood still as I watched, helplessly, unable to move, just staring. One minute she was stood there, then suddenly, she was falling, down...down...down. I ran as fast as I could towards her. I saw the blood. I saw the wound. And worst of all, I saw her lying there, lifeless.

Slowly I open my eyes, just a crack and the bright lights around me. I quickly shut my eyes again. Where am I? Then I realise that I can hear my Mum talking to me.
"Tom? Tom? Can you hear me? Tom?" I hear my Mum asking.
I open my eyes to find myself propped up in a hospital bed with my Mum one side of the bed and my Dad the other.
"Tom, you're awake!" exclaims my Dad.
"Hi Mum, Hi Dad." I murmur. "Where am I? And what happened?" I question.
"You are in Leeds General Hospital and you were shot." says Mum.

Suddenly, my memory starts to come back. I remember now.

The boys. They bullied her. It went on for months. They were ruthless. She ran away. I followed. They pushed it too far. Much too far. They shot her. She started to fall. I ran.

Then my my mind goes blank. That must of been when I was shot. Is she alive?

Thanks for reading!
