A new ending

~2~

I look out my window and see stormy and sad clouds surrounding my house. I get up grab my laptop and see what assignments I have to finish today. I had 2 assignments. I decided to finish them later. I head downstairs and Ken comes up to me and knocks his head into my leg. I lean down and pet his white and brown fur. My aunt walks into the room with one of the most depressing faces I've ever seen on Grace. " What's wrong Grace?" " I'm fine it's just grown up things..." " Grace" I said in a concerned voice. " ughhhh.... I .... g-gg-go-...." she muttered. "WHAT GRACE SPIT IT OUT." I said annoyed. " I GOT LAYED OFF." She ran off crying into her room. She slammed the door and I didn't bother going to talk to her. I didn't want her to stress.
•••••••••••
The next morning I walk downstairs and Grace is still sleeping. I crack open her door and she is laying on her face basically. I walk outside with my coffee. I sit on the rocking chair. a few minutes later a man dresses in old sweatpants and a ripped shirt with crocs. He has a little amount of hair and is starring strait at me. He starts walking my way and is pulling something out of his pocket. I drop my mug and hurry inside. I hide behind the door. suddenly there is banging on the door and a hole next to my knee. I realized at that moment he was trying to get in and was willing to shoot his way in here. I locked the door and rushed to grab Ken and head to Grace's room. Once me and Ken gets in her room Grace is sitting up on her bed. I lock the door and the banging is still going. Grace grabs the phone and calls 911. Grace looks at me and pushes me in the
Corner. She reaches in her locked drawer and pulls out an emergency gun. "Stay here!" " Grace no...please don't leave me." " I have to defend you." " GRACE NO." she opens the door and walks out. i hear shooting and a scream. I look out the window and The man is running away. I immediately run out there and see Grace Laying on the ground with blood surrounding her hip. "GRACE NO NO NO." She looks up at me and makes a face letting me know she is alright. I call 911 again. 2 minutes later Grace is being put into an ambulance. She waves at me and I hop into my Lexus and follow the ambulance to the hospital.
••••••••••••••
I was sitting in the waiting room. I had to wait for 2 hours and sit. They didn't tell me anything.30 minutes later the nurse said I could go see Grace. I walk in and Grace is wearing a hospital dress with a messy bun and she is in a depressed state. She noticed I walked in and she grins. " Hey there Mam" she said. Mam is what she has called me my whole life. " Hey" I said. "I'm glad to see your ok" I said. " Oh well um about that...." she said. she pulls the hospital cover halfway off and what I saw made me nearly faint.
