picture perfect family

109

That loud sound, when someone is shooting next to you, was everything I could hear

again

again

and again

voices, "Ellie!!!", "What did you do!!!", but I couldn't tell whose voices they were. He let the gun fall and walked backwards. I turned my head a little in Ellie's direction and saw my siblings and my cousin standing and sitting around her, trying to help her

I looked at my dad and picked his gun up, "You bastard", I yelled

Lauren pov

I immediately turned my head as I heard more shots

Lyle

I wanted to go to him to stop him but Erik was faster, he walked up to him and I thought he would take the gun out of his. He did indeed, but he continued shooting 

but not at Jose

he suddenly pointed the gun in the kitchens direction

"Erik stop!", I yelled at him, but he didn't listen, "Damn it Erik stop it now!", I got louder and he stopped. But not because of my voice. 

He let the gun fall and run back over to us "Hold on princess hold on", he cried and I'm hones I didn't know her for such a long time but I really really loved her, I don't know what I would do without her

After 5 minutes I heard sirens, and not even a minute later ambulance man and police officer stormed in the room, they pulled us away from Ellie and we had to watch from behind

it was so painful

seeing her like this. They picked her up and brought her in the ambulance car. The police officer brought Erik and Lyle away and only Andy and I were left. I felt like in a bad movie. A nightmare. The worst one I've ever had. I was crying. It wasn't being sad anymore I was crying I was screaming I barely could breathe anymore

"Hey come sit down and breathe", Andy tried to calm me down, even though he was shocked himself, "Deep breaths, exactly, you're doing great", after I finally calmed down a bit, I hugged him. I couldn't believe it. 

"Will she make it", I asked while sobbing, "Definitely", he answered, "She's strong, just like you are", I hugged him tighter. He was right, we have to think as optimists 

--------------------

Since 5 hours we are waiting here, 5 hours and still no new news. I began getting panic "Everything will be good", "Yes yes it will", I tried to calm down myself. Suddenly a doctor came out of nowhere "I have good and bad news", I looked at Andy, "What are the good ones", he asked, "She's going to make it", 

Oh my god. Did he just say she's going to stay alive?? I'm so happy, incredible happy. But there are bad ones too

"She won't be able to walk anymore", silence. Noone said anything for a while, "Alright, I have to go now, she's not awake yet but her room number is 109, you can see her whenever you want", the doctor smiled and I nodded

I was so happy that she made it, even though she won't be able to walk ever again. It will be really hard for her, she is a really hyperactive kid, but we will be by her side, always, "You wanna go see her?", Andy asked, "Come with me", he nodded and we both walked in her room. 

My beautiful Angel is alive

We talked to her for an hour or so, but as she wasn't awake, we decided to go for now and see after her tomorrow in the morning again. Since it was 5pm now

It's time to see the boys
